LOUIS I-I. VOTE, OF MUNHALL, PENNSYLVANIA.
BOTTLE CAPPER.
Application filed August 2'7, 1820.
T0 (ZZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, Louis H. Vo'rn, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Munhall, in the county of Allegheny and State ot' Pennsylvania, have invented new and use't'ulImprovements in Bottle Cappers, 01'' which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to capping devices, and more particularly to a device specially adapted for securing crimp caps on bottles.
One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a device of the character stated. of simple construction and operation which may be readily produced and sold at small cost. A further object is to provide a device which may be readily adjusted to accommodate bottles of different height. Further objects will appear trom the detailer description. r
In the drawings 1- Figure l is a side view of the device as used.
Figure 2 is a top plan view. D
Figure 3 .is a section taken substantially on line i 4 of Figure 1..
Figure 4 is a detail sectional. view of the nut.
An upright 1 is secured in any suitable manner in a base 2 and has its upper end portion threaded at to receive a nut 4. pro vided with diametrically opposite arms '5, these arms facilitating turning ot the nut for adjusting the same on the standard. A capping lever (5 is provided at its inner end with a central slot 7 torming arms 8 which are adapted to fit beneath nut i when the lever is placed in operative relation to standard 1, this lever .not being connected to either the nut or the standard. This lever is provided a short distance from its inner end with a cappingmember 9 of substantial cup shape which is secured by a rivet it) or in any other suitablemanner to the under tace o'f lever 6. A. cushion member 1.]. such as a disc of rubber or other suitable material is positioned between member 9 and lever 6, the function of this cushion member being to prevent breakage of a bottle by exerting too great pressure upon lever (3.
in pan-tire, the bottle B is placed upon block and crimp cap is placed upon the upper end oi 'the neck ot the bottle, after which the lever l is placed in operative position about standard 1 so as to position 1ne1n her 9 over cap U, nut being adjusted on Specification of Letters Batent.
Patented Mar. 21, 1922.
Serial No. 406,346.
the standard so that by exerting downward pressure upon the outer arm of the lever member 6 member 9 is forced downwardly over cap C so as to compress the same and secure it about and beneath the usual bead (Z at the upper end of the bottle neck. Nut 4 may be readily adjusted upon the standard 1 to accommodate bottles of different heights, and the cushion member 11 eliminates breakage of the bottle due to excessive pressure being exerted on the cap C such as would be apt to occur it this cushion. member were omitted.
In applying the cap the pressure should be evenly distributed so as to cause the cork disc in the cap to fit tightly against the e11- tire upper edge of head (Z thus insuring tight closure. To accomplish this the nut a is so adjusted. that the member 9 will fit snugly upon the upper end of the neck of bottle 6. This adjustment may be readily effected by turning the not up upon standard 1, lever 6 being then so placed that member 9 fits snugly over the bottle neck, after which nut 4t is turned down so as to contact with the upper face of the lever. The cap isthen applied in the manner above described, and this adjustment of the lever insures that the cap is forced into tight contact with the complete periphery of the upper edge of the bottle neck. This adjustment may be readily .eil'ected, and the set of the lever may be quickly and easily made to accommodate bottles of different heights. This provides a very simple and inexpensive device composed of a minimum of parts and which may be readily adjusted so as to insure proper positioning of cap 0 upon the bottle. 7
As will be noted more clearly from Figure 1, the nnderfaee of nut 4 is rounded so that arms 8 of lever 6 are free to rock upon this face, thus permitting the lever to be readily formed "from a strip of flat material,
What I claim is In a device of the character described, a standard, a nut threaded on said standard, a flat lever bifurcated at one end to provide arms fitting about the standard and beneath the nut, the umlertace oi said nut being rounded, and a cap compressing member carried by said leve In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
