Title: Feed device for meat-slicing machines
IPC: B26D7/02
Filed: 1922-08-15
Abstract: 185,105. Aktiebolaget Stille-Werner. Aug. 23, 1921, [Convention date]. Cutting slices in succession.-Relates to slice-feed mechanism for reciprocating-table slicing-machines, the gear being situated wholly beneath the meat tray. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan, partly in section, and shows the connection between the table-reciprocating members 6, 7 and the feed-mechanism. The connecting-rod 7 is provided with a roller 32 which works over the camsurfaces 36, 37 of an arm 23 pivoted at 34 to the table 4 which slides on guides 2, 3. The cam 36 is an arc having its centre at 33 so that the arm 23 remains stationary during the cutting operation. The roller 32 on engaging the cam 37 displaces the arm 23 which motion is transferred by a chain 22, as an intermittent oscillation, to a sleeve 20 having an arm 19, a pawl 21 and a tension spring 24 which tends always to engage the cams 36, 37 with the roller 32. The means for transferring the motion of the sleeve 20 to the feed-screw 10 and for adjusting the slice thickness comprise a sleeve 13 revolubly mounted on the feed screw spindle 12 and having ratchet wheels 14, 15 at its ends. The pawl 21 engages the wheel 14 and moves it to the extent permitted by an interrupted disc 18, Fig: 4, formed on a sleeve 16 which may be revolved by a graduated head 17 whereby the slice thickness is varied. The wheel 15 moves the feed-screw 10 by means of a pawl 29 pivoted to the cap 25, which is attached to the feed-screw spindle 12. The pawl 29 is pressed by a spring 30 and is provided with a handle 27 which when moved clockwise, Fig. 6, first disengages the pawl 29 from the ratchet-wheel 15 and then revolves the feed-screw independently of the ratchet mechanism so that initial adjustment may be effected. When the handle 27 is moved counter-clockwise the pawl 29 rides over the ratchet teeth and the feed-screw is again revolved independently. The handle 27 projects through a slot in the cap 25.

Title: Improvements relating to power operated clicking presses
Inventor: PREW THOMAS BENJAMIN
IPC: F16F15/023
Filed: 1955-08-04
Abstract: 826,348. Clicking-presses. LOTUS Ltd. Aug. 2, 1956 [Aug. 4, 1955], No. 22376/55. Class 31 (1). A clicking press is characterized in that it is operated by power means, the driving effort of which is transmitted to the ram, to which the presser beam is secured, through the intermediary of a liquid medium under a stress of compression. As shown, the ram 11 is reciprocable from a rotatable driving shaft 15 through the intermediary of an eccentric 151, eccentric arm 16 and link 17. The link is provided at its upper end with a piston 171 which is displaceably mounted within a cylindrical recess 111 formed in the lower end of the ram, the recess being closed by a gland plate 24. The lower portion of the ram and the gland plate are enclosed within an open-topped cylindrical vessel 25 which serves as a liquid reservoir. The upper end of the wall bounding the recess 111 is provided with an inclined passage 112 which communicates at one end with any space 113 which may obtain between the top of the piston 171 and the closed end of the recess 111 and at the other end with the space between the outer periphery of the lower portion of the ram 11 and the inner periphery of the vessel 25. The piston 171 is provided with a bleeder passage 172 which opens at its lower end into an hydraulic cylinder 114 between the piston 171 and gland plate 24. The gland plate is provided with a one-way valve passage 241. On an upward displacement of the piston 171 any liquid in the space 113 is displaced by way of the passage 112 into the space between the outer periphery of the lower portion of the ram and the inner periphery of the vessel 25, the liquid so displaced recirculating to the hydraulic cylinder 114 by way of the passage 241. On the pressure stroke, liquid can bleed from the hydraulic cylinder 114 into the space 113, thereby cushioning the shock. The one-way valve passage 241 may be formed in the head of the piston 171 instead of in the gland plate 24. Specifications 663,477, 667,731 and 826,347, [Group XXIV], are referred to.

The looper-thread nipper consists of spring blades 39, 40 which are actuated during the sewing operation by a cam 43 on the main shaft. When the presser-foot is iifted. a cam 49 on the rock-shaft 22 engages a spring pressed bolt 45 and forces a point 46 between the blades to open the nipper.

Abstract: 1387923 Clamping rod BECKMAN & ULLBIN AB 15 May 1972 [28 May 1971] 22673/72 Heading G5C [Also in Divisions E2 and B6] A clamping rod consists of two rigid flanges  2, 3 defining a gap 4 into which a sheet of  material 5 is inserted and held by a V-shaped leaf spring 6 which fits between the flanges 2, 3 so that the end portion 6c of one leg 6b which is bent at 6d, abuts against the junction between  the flange 3 and a web 7 which joins the flanges 2, 3, and the end of the other leg 6a abuts against the flange 2. The leg portion 6b which is convexly curved, also abuts against a projection 8 which depends from the web 7, and against the flange 3 near to the line 6e between the legs 6a and 6b. Two sets of flanges depend from one web 7. Material 5 of a wide range of thickness is inserted in the gap 4 and is held against the flange 2 by the spring 6, which may be divided into many small springs spaced along the rod. To suspend the rod, a bracket may be inserted between flange 2 and its associated spring 6, and the bracket is attached to a support. Alternatively, a number of bars, which have grooves into which the edges of the flanges 2 are fitted, are spaced along the rod and attached to a support. For vertical or inclined mounting the end of a rod is fitted in a groove of a fitting, its end engaging a plate at the end of the groove. The fitting is attached to a support by means of screws in the groove or in the plate.
