INVEN'lU/x.
H/S A TTORN- Y YIELDABLE ANTIROTATIONAL MEANS AND METHOD FOR A BOTTLE SUPPORT My invention relates to the bottling art.
The principal object of my invention is the provision of improvements in the bottling art in which a saddle assembly is employed having a bottle saddle supported over a saddle base by a saddle post. Said improvements prevent breakage of parts of said saddle assembly.
The foregoing object of my invention and the advantages thereof will become apparent during the course of the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 are, respectively, top plan and side elevational views of a bottle saddle assembly employed in the bottling art having improvements embodying my invention;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are, sr respectively, fragmentary views of the structure of FIG. 2;
FIGS. 5 and 6 are views like FIGS. 3 and 4 showing parts in a different condition;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 4; and
FIGS. 8 and 9 are perspective views showing different conditions of a metal shear part embodying my invention.
Referring to the drawings in greater detail, 10 designates said saddle assembly which includes a bottle saddle l2 supported over a saddle base 14 by a saddle post 16. Said saddle assembly 10 is carried for movement through bottle filling operations on a post 18 about the upper end of which said saddle assembly is clamped by integral structure, generally designated 20, beneath said saddle base 14. Said structure 20 is split, as at 22, to form clamping arms 24 and 26 and is slit, as at 28, to render the arm 24 moveable toward the arm 26. A bolt and nut compress the arm 24 toward the arm 26 and against the post 18. The saddle 12 holds a beverage bottle in an upright position in place on the saddle base 14 as the saddle assembly 10 is carried through bottle filling operations by the post 14. The bottle is inserted into said saddle 12 between the arms thereof which spread apart during insertion thereof and return to their normal positions after such insertion to grip the bottle. Said saddle I2 is made of plastic to impart the flexibility required in the arms thereof. The upper end of the saddle post 16 extends into the saddle 12 from beneath thereof and is fastened thereto by a fastener 29. The upper end of the saddle post 16 which fits in the saddle I2 and the lower end thereof which is held against the saddle base I4 are each square in cross section. The intermediate section of the post I6 between the ends thereof is triangular in cross section as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 to provide clearance for movement of other parts of the bottle filling machine.
In accordance with my invention the saddle post 16 is supported for rotation about a holding bolt 29 threaded in the saddle base 14 and a flat 30 is provided on the rear of the saddle base I4 in which a slot 32 is milled. A metal shear part 34 is operatively disposed in the slot 32. The metal shear part 34 has a rectangular center portion provided with an aperture 36 through which the holding bolt 29 extends and bent opposite sidewalls joined to said center portion along the full length thereof. The metal shear part 34 applies a yieldable antirotational force on the saddle post 16 which holds the same upright but which yields to a superior rotative force which would otherwise break parts of the bottle saddle assembly. The superior rotative force occurs sporadically from defects in the operation of the bottle filling machine and is produced from any number of causes which are applied to the bottle tending to upset it. The following are examples of causes of forces applied to the bottle tending to upset it during the filling operation: members which are foreign to the bottle filling machine becoming wedged in machine parts such as glass fragments from broken or exploded bottles; the bottles to be filled striking the carbon dioxide fill tube as said bottles are being elevated so that said fill tube enters a bottle; the star wheel which moves the bottles into the saddle assemblies being out of synchronization with the rotary movement of said saddle assemblies; broken machine parts which cause misalignment of the bottles such as broken saddles. Such forces applied to the bottle tending to upset it are transmitted as rotative forces tending to rotate the saddle post 16. Whenever such rotative forces applied to the saddle post 16 are superior to the anitrotational forces applied to the saddle post 16 by the metal shear part 34, opposite sidewalls thereof will shear at the same time along their bend lines as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 9. To facilitate shearing of such opposite sidewalls along their bend lines the thickness of the metal shear part 34 equals the depth of the slot 32. FIGS. 5 and 6 show how the opposite sidewalls of the metal shear part 34 shear from rotative movement of the saddle post 16 across the slot 32. The saddle post 16 can rotate in either direction depending upon the direction of the forces applied to the bottle. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 opposite comets of the saddle post 16 cut across opposite bend lines of the metal shear part 34 and sever opposite sidewalls thereof from the center portion thereof. Were it not for my invention forces applied to the bottle tending to upset it during the filling operation would cause breakage of parts of the saddle assembly. It has been my experience that the saddle base 14 would break and this is an expensive casting. There are many such saddle bases on a bottle filling machine and breakage of a number thereof on a single 8-hour shift is not uncommon. Most of these bottle filling machines are run two and three shifts each working day. The savings realized by my invention are considerable over a period of a short time of operation of such bottle filling machines.
It will thus be seen that there has been provided by my invention improvements in the bottling art-in which the object hereinabove set forth together with many thoroughly practical advantages has been successfully achieved. While a preferred embodiment of my invention has been shown and described it is to be understood that variations and changes may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention as defined by the appended claims.
