<p>TITLE AUTOMATED BOTTLE DECAPPING MACHINE The present invention relates to a decapping machine adapted to receive capped bottles and operable to decap bottles so received. The machine comprises a decapping station wherein individual capped bottles are securely positionable in bottle decapping relation with an assembly comprising a lever arm rotatable, by means selected for this purpose, about a pivot. An anvil is secured to the lever arm in spaced apart relation from the pivot. The assembly is located relative to the station such that on rotation of the arm about the pivot by selected means, the anvil is moveable from a starting position slightly below but vertically aligned with the location of a peripheral portion of a cap borne in secured frictional engagement on a bottle when some is securely positioned at the decapping station, to a second position above the first position and lying along an arcuately divergent path from a longitudinal centre line of the bottle, whereby during the anvil's traverse of that path, the anvil contacts the peripheral edge of the bottle cap and urges the cap out of secured frictional engagement with the bottle.</p> |
