To all'tbhom it"mdy concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE- KLEIBER, of

New Orleans; in" the parishot Orleans and have invented a new and State of Louisiana, usefulImprovement'in Bottle-Fillers, of which the follo'wing'is a specification.

Figure -1 is a provemen't. Fig. 2,-a-is a side elevation, partly in section, taken through the line 1. Fig. 3 is vaigsectiona'l elevation of one of thecooks enlarged. Figs. 4and 5 represent Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. f

The. object of this invention is to furnish machines for filling bottles with viscid oils and otherfluids and liquids,-soconstructed that the fluidwill be forced outjby air-prcssbe opened by the rise of the bottles tobe filled.

nre-andthe cocks will The invention consists in constructing a bottl-e-fillerof a tank having pressure-gage and discharge-pipe, the air-pump having its,

discharge-pipe .lconnected .with the pressuretank, the distribu tin g-chauib'er, the discharge ,eocks having nozzles and .flanges, the mova-. bottles, the treadle,

ble shelf to receive the and the-curved and slotted arms to open the discharge-cocks, as will be hereinafterfully described.

A represents the tank to receive the oil or,

otherfluid,and which ismonnted uponaframe,

B, of convenient height: The tank A is pro-f To thelower part of the frameB is attached 4 an air-pump, E, to the piston-rod of which is Q pivoted the lower end .of a connecting-rod, F.

The upper end of. the connecting-rod F is pivoted to a'crank, G, attached to the journal of the hand wheel or crank H, which is pivoted'to thenpper'part'ot' the frame B. -The discharge-pipe I of the air-pump E passes up through the bottom 'ot the'tank'A and ternii- 'nates near the topv of the said tank, so as to discharge the air above the liquid that may be in the said tank and put thesaid liquid under To the bottom of the tank A is secured the end of about pipe, =J,- which is provided with front elevation of the nila; w m, Fig;

The

The tubes. 0 are held down byispi'ralj springs Q,'"the' lower ends jot which rest upon the closed upper ends of'the sa'id tubes 0, andtheir upper ends rest against perforated plates or spiders R,

I The bottles, while being filled, rest upon a shelf, V, to which are attached guide-rods W, which pass through guideholes in the frame B, or in brackets attached to the said frame.

.To the center of the shelfV is hinged the upper endofa jointed rod, Xythe lower end of which is hinged to a treadle, Y. The treadle Y is hinged to the lower part of the frame B in such a. position that it may be readily reached and operated by the attendant with his'feet'. 3

To the t'oward part of the frameB, a little below the new, is placed a stationary shelf, Z, to receive the bottles before they have been part, M, of each barrel is The upper ends'of the In the sides ofthe up.

have been filled and removed from the said shelf V.

In using, the machine the air-pump E is worked to put the liquid in the tank A under the desired pressure, the valve K is opened, and a set of bottles to be filled is placed'upon the shelf V directly beneath the nozzles S of the cooks. The treadle Y is then operated to raise the shelf V, bringing the bottles to be filled over the nozzles S, until the upper ends of the bottles strike the flanges T and raise the valve-tubes 0, allowing the liquid to flow into the bottles, filling them equally. When the bottles are filled the foot-pressure upon the treadle Y is Wlth(hflWl1,iLIld the springs Q force the valve-tubes 0 down and stop the outflow of the liquid'instantly. The filled bottles are then removed arid replaced with empty ones, and the operation is repeated until the air-pressure in the tank'A becomes 'so much reduced as to no longer cause a free outflow of the liquid. The air-pump E is then operated to force-another supply of air into the tank A, when the operation of filling the bottles is continued. In this way the bottles ,can be filled very rapidly.

If desired, curved arms a maybebolted adjustably to down wardly-projectinglugs formed upon or attached to the inner part of the-shelf V. The upper parts of-the arms a are bent outward, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, and their ends are slotted or forked, as shown in Fig. 5, to receive the nozzles S. The arms a are made of such a length that their upper ends will be a little above the upper ends of the bottles, as shown in Fig. 4, so as to ,strike against the flanges T and raise the valve-tubes O to allow the liquid to how into the bottles. This construction Iprefer, as it allows the air in the bottles to escape freely as the liquid flows into the said bottles. I Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters latent- 1. as herein shown and described, consisting of the tank A, having pressuregage D and dis charge-pipe J, the air-pumplfil G H, having A bottle-filler constructed substantially,

discharge-pipe 1, leading into the upper part of the tank A, the distributing-chamber I1, the discharge-cocks M N O Q, having nozzles S and flanges T, the movable shelf V, having guides W, the treadle X Y, and the curved and slotted arms a, asset forth. I

In a bottle-tiller, the combination, with the distributing-chamber L, of the cock-bartubes 0, having valve-flanges P upon their closed. upper ends, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the liquid will be allowed to flow out when the tubes are raised, as set forth,

f 5. In a bottle-filler, the combination, with the movable shelf V, that carries the bottles,

and with the flanges '1, attached to the nozzles S of the discharge-cocks, oflthe curved and slotted arms a, substantially as herein shown and'described, whereby the dischargecocks will be opened by the rise of the shelf, as set forth;

6. In a bottle-filler, the combination, with the discharge-cocks MN 0 Q,of the valves U,

. substantially as herein shown and described,

whereby the escape of the liquid through the 9 cocks can be prevented, as set forth;
