Abstract
Modular bottle etching apparatuses, systems and methods of using the same comprise modular bottle stage elements for holding a bottle and turning a bottle, and a modular etching element having a blade thereon for scoring a glass bottle, or any glass tubular or cylindrical item. The modular bottle stage elements and the modular etching elements are movable, thereby accommodating different sized bottles thereon for precise scoring with the blade.
Claims19
A bottle scoring apparatus comprising:
- a base comprising a plurality of retention cells, each retention cell forming a square opening, four sides and a bottom, wherein each of the retention cells is uniform in size, shape and orientation, the plurality of retention cells forming a grid over the entirety of the base wherein each retention cell is uniformly spaced apart from adjacent retention cells, wherein each retention cell comprises at least one wall and an open top;
- a first wheel assembly comprising a post, a rotating wheel attached to the post, and a peg on an end of the post, wherein the peg of the first wheel assembly is shaped and sized to fit within each of the plurality of retention cells, the peg of the first wheel assembly frictionally held within a first of the retention cells;
- a blade assembly comprising a first post and a glass scoring blade attached to the first post, wherein the first post of the blade assembly comprises a peg on an end of the first post of the blade assembly, wherein the peg of the blade assembly is shaped and sized to fit within each of the plurality of retention cells, wherein peg of the blade assembly is frictionally held within a second of the retention cells;
- and
- a stopper assembly comprising a stopper post, a stopper attached to the stopper post, and a stopper peg on an end of the stopper post, wherein the stopper peg is sized and shaped to fit within each of the plurality of retention cells, wherein the stopper peg is frictionally held within a third cell of the plurality of retention cells, wherein the stopper is adjustable towards and away from the post of the stopper assembly.
