Filed: 1960-03-30
Abstract: 896,220. Feeding and delivering sheets. WINKLER, R., and DUNNEBIER, K. March 30, 1960 [April 23, 1959], No. 11150/60. Class 100(1) [Also in Group XVII] In a modification of the wrapping apparatus described in Specification 812,590, the envelopes accumulate to form a batch against a pair of stops immovable in the direction of envelope travel while further stops transport a formed batch to the wrapping position. The apparatus is fully adjustable for various envelope and batch sizes. Envelopes, fed forward by a suction wheel 1 and rotating spirals 5, accumulate against stops 8, 9 while a previously formed batch P<SP>1</SP> is carried to the wrapping position by stops 28, 29 on a longitudinally reciprocating carriage 24. The stops 28, 29 and further stops 30 on the carriage, which latter advance the line of packages, are arranged either by rack and pinion means or by being pivoted on shafts 32, to be withdrawn clear of the envelope path transversely. At the wrapping station, a band 36 earlier advanced from a magazine 37 is secured round the batch by means 60, 64 as described in the above Specification but with the addition of a removable plate 78 which permits pressure to be applied more effectively to the band overlap (Figs. 1, 4, 4b). Adhesive is applied by a member 70. As banding is completed, the stops 8, 9 and 28-30 withdraw laterally and pivoted latches 10, 12, 14, 16, 34 and further vertically movable stops 17, 18 take over the location of the new batch P<SP>11</SP>, the almost completed package P<SP>1</SP> and the column of completed packages (Fig. 5). The carriage 24 advances and stops 38-30 enter the envelope path while members 10, 12, 14, 17, 18 withdraw (Fig. 6). The carriage 24 moves to carry the batch p<SP>11</SP> to the wrapping station, stops 8, 9 return to their initial position to support envelopes advanced by the spirals 5, and latches 16, 34 withdraw to allow the package P<SP>1</SP> to join the column. A feeler of photo-electric device may scan the envelope infeed and operate a batch ejector if an envelope is missing. The wrapping may be initiated by electronic counting means responding to a given number of envelopes per batch. These devices are not detailed or shown. Band feed. The bands 36 are each initially drawn into contact with a drive roller 41 by a suction arm 40, a rod 43 then being moved by cam means (not shown) to rotate a lever 44 causing a roller 47 to press the band on the roller 41 and advance it to further rollers 48, 51. The rollers 51 may be raised from contact with the roller 48 by a wedge 54 operated by a cam 57 and rod 55. The leading end of the band is held by a gripper 62 on the member 60 which descends to draw the band across the envelope path. The trailing end of the band is located by suction on the member 64.

Title: Roller burnishing tool
IPC: B24B39/04
Filed: 1973-03-09
Abstract: 1427365 Burnishing by rolling AMTEL Inc 9 March 1973 11586/73 Heading B3M A roller burnishing tool, Fig. 2, comprises a mandrel 15 having a frusto-conical end portion 14, a roller cage member 16, 18 surrounding the mandrel and relatively movable axially thereof, a plurality of frusto-conical rollers 12 supported in the cage 16 in contact with the portion 14 and set obliquely so that the tool is self feeding when in contact with the surface of a workpiece 10, and means including a slipping clutch for limiting the relative axial adjustment of the mandrel and cage so that the rollers 12 are maintained in a position in which they exert optimum burnishing pressure on the workpiece during operation. In one embodiment, Fig. 2, the cage member 18 carries a stop collar 21, and has an integral collar 24 lying between rings 25, 25<SP>1</SP> which are urged against the collar 24 by a spring 30 to act as the clutch. The clutch also includes a sleeve 26 which has projecting lugs 28 engaged in axial grooves in a set nut 36 threaded on to the mandrel 15. Movement of the set nut 36 towards the right is limited by an adjusting nut 48. In operation the tool assembly is advanced towards the workpiece 10 until the rollers 12 begin to enter the bore thereof. In this position latches 60 hold the stop collar 21 and hence the cage members 16, 18 so that, as the mandrel is advanced, the rollers 12 are moved outwardly to engage the inner surface of the workpiece. When this occurs, since the mandrel 15 is also rotated, planetary movement of the rollers 12 commences, thus causing the cage members 16, 18 to rotate but at a slower rate than the mandrel 15. Consequently the nut 36 is driven by the clutch arrangement 24, 25, 25<SP>1</SP>, 26, 30 along the threaded portion of the mandrel 15 until it abuts against the end 23 of the member 18. As the mandrel is further advanced the clutch slips and relative axial movement between mandrel 15 and cage members 16, 18 is prevented thus causing the rollers 12 to be held in a position in which they exert optimum burnishing pressure. After burnishing springs 33 and 42 return the parts to their original positions. In the second embodiment, Fig. 8, the workpiece 10 is held against a thrust plate 57 as the rollers 12 pass therethrough from left to right. In a further embodiment, adapted to burnish the outside of a cylindrical member, Fig. 10, the rollers 12A and their cage 16A, 18A, lie within a mandrel member 15A having a frustoconical portion 14A.

Abstract: 454,912. Bellows. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London. April 25, 1936, No. 11817. Convention date, April 26, 1935. [Class 8 (i)] [See also Group VI] Apparatus for treat ment of a limb with alternating air pres sure and vacuun comprises bellows o greater capacity thar is required to pro duce the desired pres sure changes, and positive and nega tive relief valves. The bellows 8, Fig. 1, o: square section, is mounted in a frame work 10 of channe shaped members and of the same section and driven from ar electric or othermotor 1 through reduction gearing 2, 2<1>, and a crank 3 with an adjustable crank-pin carrying a slide engaging a slotted yoke 4. The yoke is connected to a connect ing-rod 7 guided in bearings 7<1> and having a pin 9 engaging a depending lug on the base plate 15 of the bellows. The top of the bellows has a pressure head 18 supporting a pressure-relief valve 34 and a suction-relief valve having a stem 33. The valve stems are pivotally connected to levers 25, 26 secured to spindles 23, 24. Fig. 3 shows a sealing plate 16 on the bellows having a central inlet 17 to the pressure head 18, the suction-relief valve being loaded by a leaf spring 32 connected to spindle 23 and adjustably counterloaded, to vary the maximum vacuum applied, by a leaf spring 21 contacted by a screw 19. Similarly the pressure relief valve is adjustably loaded by a leaf-spring 22 and screw 20. In order to modify the character of the pressure and vacuum cycles additional coil spring loadings varying during the suction and pressure strokes are applied by springs connected to the bellows base 15 and to additional lever arms on the ends of the spindles 23, 24. Each of such lever arms may be so secured to its spindle as to apply the additional load, which is greatest when the bellows is fully expanded, in opposition to or in conjunction with the normal loading. The effect obtained consists in normal building up of pressure or vacuum followed by a quicker release, or in retarding the attainment of full pressure or vacuum, as desired. The additional loading springs are connected to bolts in the base 15 having fly nuts providing for adjustment of tension. The pressure head 18, Fig. 1, has an outlet 29 leading to a closed chamber surrounding a limb.

Abstract: 1,016,012. Suction lifting devices; stacking machines. BASON & SONS Ltd. April 4, 1962 [April 4, 1961], No. 11896/61. Headings B8C and B8H. Apparatus for handling bricks or similar articles comprises a gripper head 19 mounting suction nozzles 23 suspended from a carriage 20 movable on rails 21 between a receiving platform 12 and a trolley 59 for conveying a stack of bricks to a kiln. Once the head 19 is raised from the platform 12 the gripper nozzles 23 are separated either to form gaps between certain rows in the stack to allow the insertion of fork lift tines or to form uniform gaps between rows to allow ventilation in the kiln. Alternate rows in the stack are stacked at right angles to each other and the head is turned by pneumatic rams during its movement. Bricks are conveyed in rows to the platform 12 and when five have arrived in a row a trip is operated to cause a ram to move the platform 12 over rollers 18 under the head 19 which by a manual trip is caused to lower until the suction nozzles contact the bricks and suction is automatically applied. A manual trip causes hydraulic rams to set a shaft running through slide bars between the brick rows so that upon the head 19 rising hydraulic rams cause the bars to separate to the spacing set. The carriage 20 is then moved over the platform 59 and the head 19 descends to stack the bricks and in alternate layers the head is rotated through 90 degrees to rotate the rows of bricks. Buffer rams 56, 61 stop the carriage 20 in the end position and the suction nozzles are automatically drawn into mutual contact as the head lowers over the platform 12.
