ABSTRACT:
A Universal Bottle Suspension Device for packers including a plurality of movably mounted slide members which are arranged in rows and are disposed in spaced relation with respect to one another in order to be movable both toward and away from one another, each movable slide member including a downwardly extending connector means and a rail member secured to the bottom of the connector means, each rail member generally extending parallel with respect to the slide members such that the rail members are adapted to be movable both toward and away from one another in such a fashion as to hold and release bottles wherein the head of the bottle extends above the rail members and the rail members are adapted to be urged against the neck area of the bottle, the inwardly facing edges of the rail member providing low friction surfaces to facilitate movement of the bottle when held between the rail members, the friction free surfaces thereby defining a retaining channel therebetween for selectively holding the bottles therein, the slide members being movably mounted upon a fixedly positioned pivot shaft and upon two axially movably shafts laterally from the central shaft defined as a first shaft and a second shaft, the first and second shaft each being secured to opposite ends of a pivotally mounted pivot link means such that the movement of the first shaft in an axial direction will cause movement of the second shaft in the opposite axial direction, one of each pair of slide members being fixedly secured to the first shaft and movably secured to the second shaft and the other one of each pair of slide members being fixedly secured to the second shaft and slidably secured to the first shaft such that axial movement of the first shaft toward the pivot link will cause closing of the rail members into the retaining channel whereas axial movement of the first shaft away from the pivot link will cause each pair of rail members to separate and thereby release bottles held therein.
