Improved Filling Machines

An improved measuring flask is used in a filling machine for filling identical containers with the same measured amount of divided matter

. The filling machines include a filling turret having a rotatable portion driven by a drive. The filling turret includes a filling tank having a rotatable floor connected to the drive. The rotatable floor rotates with the rotating portion of the filling turret. A plurality of measuring flasks is arranged in a circle concentric with the circle of rotation of the rotating portion of the filling turret. Each of the measuring flasks is connected to the rotatable floor of the filling tank for receiving divided matter from the filling tank and measuring the amount of the matter. Each of the measuring flasks includes a transition body having one end connected to the rotatable floor and an opposite end extending downward. An open ended tube has one end connected to the opposite end of the transition body and the other end of the tube extends downward. The tube has a cylindrical interior surface.

flask construction which is particularly adapted for use in filling machines for filling containers with a like measured amount of powdered or granular material and in particular material which has poor flowability because of a high fat content or other reasons.

The subject measuring flask is particularly adapted for use with a filling machine which generally includes a filling turret having a rotatable portion. A drive is connected to the rotatable portion. The filling turret includes a filling tank having a rotatable floor. A drive is connected to the rotatable floor for rotating with the rotating portion of the filling turret. A plurality of the instant improved measuring flasks is arranged in a circle concentric with the circle of rotation of the rotating portion of the filling turret. Each of the measuring flasks is particularly adapted for receiving divided matter from the filling tank and measuring the amount of matter received. Each of the measuring flasks includes a transition body having one end connected to the rotatable floor and an opposite end extending downward. An open ended tube has one end connected to said opposite end of the transition body and the other end of the tube extends downward. The tube has a cylindrical interior surface. The transition body has a funnel-like transition interior surface. The transition interior surface is a surface of revolution having a reduced portion adjacent to the tube aligned with the upper end of the tube cylindrical interior surface. The remainder of the transition interior surface extends outward and upward from the reduced portion to allow divided matter to pass through the transition portion without hanging up in the measuring flask.
