Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for producing a continuous wrapped tobacco rod
IPC: A24C5/18
Filed: 1961-09-07
Abstract: 1,041,551. Cigarette-making machines. MOLINS ORGANISATION Ltd., and D. W. MOLINS. Sept. 6, 1962 [Sept. 7, 1961], No. 32113/61. Heading A2C. In a continuous rod cigarette-making machine a stream of tobacco on a conveyer band is disrupted and projected by an air current on to a moving air-pervious conveying surface through which air is sucked and the further continuous tobacco stream formed is compressed, trimmed and wrapped. Cut tobacco is showered from a hopper 1 onto a continuous tape 2 formed into a broad "U" shape by passage between side guides 4 and the tobacco stream formed is compressed by passage of the tape 2 through a progressively narrowing "U" in a block 8. The tape then moves into a shoe 9 in which the "U" is progressively diminisheed in height and at the same time the tobacco particles are transferred to a moving perforated band e.g. of stainless steel, by an air current created by suction applied through the band 15 by means of a suction chamber located between its upper and lower runs and having walls 18, 19, 20 and holes 22, 23 for connection to a suction source. The air reaches the tobacco by being drawn in through gaps 36, 37 between the tape 2 and side guides 24, 25 (Fig. 4) having sharp edges 38, 39 and chamfers 40 for the creation of vortices in the air flow. A plate 26 blocks off one end of the suction chamber so that a forward motion is imparted to the air current. The tobacco is then compressed by a paddle wheel 28 and any surplus removed by trimming devices 33, 34 as described in Specification 1,041,553 and is then wrapped in a paper web 10 to form a continuous rod ready for cutting up into cigarettes. Rolls 5 and 16 are driven and the paddle wheel 28 by gears 31, 30, 29 from the roll 5.

Annuli of dough for the manufacture of bagels are each formed by kneading and rolling a ball of dough between a rod and a surrounding sleeve by moving the sleeve relatively to the rod. In the apparatus illustrated a series of sleeves 16, Fig. 3, fixed to an endless travelling chain 26 move downwardly around a vertical rod 15 to knead and roll pieces of dough fed from a hopper 64 via a sheet 76. Each sleeve 16 comprises a part 54 fixed to a link of the chain 26, and parts 53, 53<SP>1</SP> pivoted to the part 54 and separated to allow the sleeve to pass around the shoot 76. As the sleeve 16 descends the parts 53, 53<SP>1</SP> are closed together by cams 58, 581 as illustrated in Figs. 4, 5, and 8. The annuli of dough are discharged on to a table or moving conveyer on the separation of the parts 53, 53<SP>1</SP> by the engagement of lugs 59, 59<SP>1</SP> on the latter with cams (not shown) mounted near the lower of the two pinions carrying the chain 26. The dough is fed to the shoot 76 by a screw within the hopper 62 and severed into pieces at the hopper outlet 71 by a rotating knife 72. In a further construction the upper end of the forming rod is pointed to impale the pieces of dough, and the latter are drawn along the rod by camactuated gripping members pivotally connected to the interior surfaces of the sleeves. The sleeves are divided into three longitudinal sections each of which contains a pair of gripping members.

Title: Process for the production of complete fertilizers
IPC: C05B11/06
Filed: 1947-12-09
Abstract: In making complete fertilizers by dissolving, prior to the addition of other ingredients such as potassium salts, calcium phosphate in a mother liquor produced by dissolving raw phosphate in nitric acid, which may contain ammonium ions, and crystallizing and separating the calcium as the nitrate or the double salt of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, the mother liquor used is one in which the ratio CaO:P2O5 is 1 and calcium phosphate is added in such proportion that a fertilizer is obtained containing sufficient phosphoric acid, mainly as dicalcium phosphate, to give a ratio P2O5:N greater than 1. The latter ratio may be further increased, after dissolution of additional raw phosphate in the mother liquor, by crystallizing and separating further amounts of calcium nitrate or double salt and then adding further amounts of raw phosphate or dicalcium phosphate and other ingredients to the resulting liquor.

Filed: 1954-11-16
Abstract: 826,002. Packaging-machines. PICKERING, D. F. [RADO, L., Representative of]. Nov. 15, 1955 [Nov. 16, 1954], No. 33174/54. Class 94(1). In a machine for forming containers filled with liquid or paste, webs 3 and 4 of thermoplastic material are fed from supply rolls 1 and 2 over guide rollers and between reciprocable pressing and welding tools 18 and 19 each comprising resiliently-mounted edge-welding members 6 or 7, Fig. 2, and a lower die portion 9 or 10 formed with cavities 11 or 12 defining the shape of the container to be formed. The webs are first brought between the upper parts 20 and 21 of the tools and the latter moved towards one another so that the edges of the webs are clamped between the members 6 and 7. A high frequency voltage is then applied to the tools so that the edges and lower ends of the webs are united to form a primary container which is then partially filled with liquid or paste introduced through a tube 13. The tools are then withdrawn, the filled portion of the primary container is moved downwardly and located between the portions 9 and 10 of the tools, and the latter are then brought together so that the liquid or paste is displaced by the parts of the dies surrounding the cavities and forced into the cavities, thus shaping the containers.. High frequency voltage is then applied to the tools to unite the contacting walls of the containers surrounding the cavities. At the same time, the next primary container to be filled is formed by the members 6, 7. The completed containers are engaged by intermittently-driven rollers 16, 17 which subsequently operate to draw further lengths of the webs from the rolls 1 and 2, the various operations being repeated automatically. A spring- loaded bar 10a mounted in the tool 19 cooperates with a projection on the tool 18 to seal the primary container transversely above the dies, thus preventing upward movement of the liquid or paste when the dies are brought together. This bar may be a high-frequency electrode.
