WILLIAM w. BURESCH, or BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
BOTTLE-GAPPING TOOL.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 21, 1920.
Application filed July 11, 1919. Serial No. 310,171.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, WILLIAM WV. BU- nEscII, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Capping Tools, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in devices for applying crimped metal caps to bottles. The particular purpose of the in vention is to provide a device by means of which crimped caps which have been removed from bottles can be re-applied in a secure and air-tight manner. In carrying out the invention, I provide three arcuate crimping members, which may be of the same size and made in the same die, these 4 members, when brought together, forming a ring adapted to encircle a bottle cap and having internal teeth or serrations adapted to fit the indentations in the crimped portion of a bottle cap. Two handles are pivotally connected to one of the crimping members or jaws, and the other members or'jaws are each separately connected to said handles, preferably in a rigid manner, and by pressing the handles toward one another, the jaws may be made to press a used bottle cap into its original shape around the bead on the bottle. A spring connects the pivoted handles together, and this spring eX- tends across the opening between the jaws,
at a fixed height above the jaws, the ar-,
rangement being such that when a cap is placed upon a bottle and the jaws are pressed down over the sides'of the cap, the spring will hold the jaws around the cap and also serve as a stop to position the jaw teeth in the indentations in the cap. For convenience, also, in forcing the cap over the bead on the bottle, I provide an additional handle, projecting oppositely from the aforesaid pair of handles, so that the device may bereadily grasped in'both hands.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a top plan view of the crimping device, showing the jaws partly opened to receive the cap;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig;-
1; and,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the pivotal handles with attached jaw.
Referring'to the drawing, a, b, and c, indicate three arcuate jaws of the same form and size and which may be cut from, sheet metal, in the same dies. These jaws are provided with inwardly projecting teeth 1, suitably spaced to engage the indentations in bottle caps such as have been formed by machinery and applied to bottles containing beverages and other liquids. The aws b nected to the studs 7 and tends to draw the pair of pivoted handles toward one another, to close the jaws. 'This spring passes over the opening between the jaws, as shown. When a crimped cap is to be re-applied to a bottle, the cap is placed over the bottle mouth and the jaws of the capping tool are brought down over the cap until the spring 8 engages the top of the cap. The teeth on the jaws will then be in position. to engage the indentations in the side wall of the cap. Tliespring serves as a stop to position the jaws and to prevent them from going below the cap, and also serves to automatically hold the jaws in engagement with the cap.
For convenience in pressing the cap on to 6 and studs 7. A helical spring 8 is conthe bottle, I provide a handle 9, which is se- I cured to the jaw a and projects in the direc tion opposite to that of the handles 2 and 3,
'so that the operator may grasp the device with both hands.
, This handle 9v may be omitted if desired.
It is believed the construction and opera- 7 tion of the device will be clear from the above description without further explanation. p
What I claim is V A! device for attaching crimped caps to bottles comprising three arcuate crimping jaws adapted to encircle a cap, a pair of handlesboth pivotally connected to one jaw and each having one of the other jaws separately secured to it, and a spring for holdv ing said jaws in closed position, said spring extending over the opening between thejaws. 7
WILLIAM w. BUBESCH.
' y In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
