Definitions

  • the improved arrangement has for its object to increase or even to double the production, by leaving or setting the bottles along two rows instead of a single row, the machine rotating at the same speed as previously in the case of bottles moving on a single row.
  • Said arrangement which is more particularly applicable for machines executing a circular movement, relies on the use for the driving and guiding of the bottles, of a double distributing arrangement, including a selecting star-shaped member and a toothed chain moving in synchronism with said star-shaped member or toothed wheel.
  • FIG. 1 is a general plan view of the whole arrangement
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view on a larger scale of the selecting star-shaped member associated with the toothed chain
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are detail elevational views showing the operative members which rise and sink respectively towards the bottles,
  • FIG. 5 is a horizontal cross-section through line VV of FIG. 3.
  • the arrangement illustrated allows increasing the production without increasing the speed of the machine and to this end, it includes two worms 2 and 3 (FIG. 2) lying side by side ahead of the machine and located each at the end of a row of bottles, 4 and 5.
  • One of the worms 2 distributes the bottles 6 forming the row 4 and leads them into the intervals separating the successive arms 7 of the star-shaped member 8 driven by the shaft 9.
  • the other worm 3 ensures the distribution of the bottles 11 forming the row 5 inside the depressed sections 12 of a chain moving along the periphery of a frame 13.
  • a separating partition 14 holds in position the corresponding bottles in each row until they reach the corresponding movable supports 15 on which they are thus laid two by two and which lead them towards the operative stations executing the operations for which the machine has been designed.
  • the bottles or the like containers reach the output end of the machine and are taken hold of by an arrangement similar to that located at the input of the machine and wherein the bottles are laid on a rectilinear conveyor which leads them to the exhaust or lays them on further supports leading them towards other machines.
  • the arrangement includes a star-shaped member 17 removing the bottles 6 forming the row 4 off their supports 15 while the bottles forming the row 5 are separated from the former by a partition 18 and are engaged by the depressions 12 of the above-mentioned chain moving over the periphery of the frame 13.
  • bottles or containers have not been provided with caps, said bottles which are filled do not pass out of the machine directly to form the rows 19 and 20, and are fed by the star-shaped member and the depressions 12 to the capping stations 21 and 22 provided for this purpose in the vicinity of the machine. At the output of said cap ping stations the bottles are removed as precedingly so as to form again two rows 19 and 20.
  • an arrangement 24 including a double worm is provided for setting the bottles on a single line or row so as to lead them towards said single station machine 25 which is adapted to ensure a sufficiently large production.
  • bottle supports 26 (FIGS. 3 and 5), which are comparatively yielding, as provided by the insertion of springs 27 which absorb the differences in height between the bottles when the latter rise towards the operative members 28.
  • the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiment which has been described hereinabove for handling or treating bottles and, except for certain details of execution, it is applicable to machines for packaging any product in bottles or containers of any desired material.
  • a bottle treating machine comprising two parallel bottle distributing worms lying side by side at the input of the machine and rotating in synchronism, a guideway associated with each worm in parallelism therewith and wherein the bottles progress with a uniform spacing under the action of the worm, a rotary toothed wheel the teeth interval of which is equal to the pitch of the worms, said wheel engaging the bottles distributed by one worm in the corresponding guideway to shift them along with said wheel, a toothed chain extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and the intervals between the teeth of which are equal to the pitch of the worms, said chain engaging the bottles distributed by the other worm in the corresponding guideway to shift them along said chain, a partition separating the bottles conveyed by the wheel from those conveyed by the chain, a plurality of moving supports adapted to be fed by successive pairs of bottles conveyed by the wheel and the chain respectively and means driving the chain and
