be a tendency of the material to stick to the
walls of the funnels or to their necks, by
gently tapping upon the funnels this will be
obviated. If necessary, one or more tamp-
5 ing rods may be employed to seat the sub-
stance within the capsules, and said rods may
be hinged or otherwise fastened to the filler
to permit the use of one or more of said
rods at one time. After the filling has been
10 completed, the funnel carrier is moved to
the position shown at the left hand of Fig. 2,
whereupon the operator may readily posi-
tion the caps upon the capsules and then re-
move them.
15 By the arrangement herein shown, the fill-
ing of capsules will be facilitated and any
loss of material will be positively obviated.
I claim:-
1. A capsule filler comprising a base, cap-
20 sale holders carried by the base and each
provided with a tapered upper portion, a
hinged member connected with the base and
funnels carried by the hinged member and
provided with correspondingly tapered
25 sockets adapted to register with and receive
the tapered portions of the adjacent cap-
sule holders.
2. A capsule filler comprising a base, cap-
sule holders mounted on the base and each
30 having its exterior walls tapered at the
upper end thereof, a hinged member con-
nected with the base and provided with a
series of threaded openings, correspondingly
threaded sleeves engaging the threaded wallsof said openings and provided with tapered 35
sockets for registration with the tapered
portions of the capsule holders, and funnels
secured to said sleeves.
3. A capsule filler comprising a base, cap-
sule holders arranged on the base and pro- 40
vided with terminal inclined portions, mem-
hers pivotally connected with the opposite
sides of the base, an intermediate member
pivotally connected to one end of the base,
sleeves carried by the intermediate and side 45
members and provided with a correspond-
ingly tapered socket for registration with
the tapered portions of the adjacent cap-
sule holders, and funnels carried by the
sleeves for directing the material into the 50
holders when the intermediate and side mem-
bers are moved to operative position.
4. A capsule filler comprising a base, cap-
sule holders arranged thereon and divided
into series of the same size, a pair of mem- 55
hers hinged to the sides of the base, an in-
termediate member hinged to one end of the
base, funnels carried by the series of mem-
bers, and means to cause the inner walls of
the capsules to register with the like walls co
of the funnel necks.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing
as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa-
tuie in the presence of two witnesses.
