Title: Apparatus for filling and sealing synthetic resin containers
Inventor: YOSHIKAWA SHINSUKE
IPC: B65B7/16
Filed: 1970-01-13
Abstract: 1,247,499. Filling and sealing synthetic resin containers. KUREHA KAGAKU KOGYO K.K. 13 Jan., 1970, No. 1543/70. Heading B8C, An apparatus for continuously filling and sealing synthetic resin containers comprises two continuously rotatable filling and sealing rotaries 6, 11 respectively which are connected by an endless-chain conveyer 30 on which is mounted a plurality of equi-spaced container holders 4, and a pan conveyer which consists of an endless chain 32 carrying a number of pans 1 which are spaced the same as the holders 4, empty containers in the pans 1 being transferred to the holders 4, during the interval when the two conveyers are travelling together at the same speed and each pan 1 is transversely aligned with a holder 4 by means of a container loading device 3, 33. The latter comprises an endless chain 33 which carries pushing members 3 and which travels obliquely relative to the chain 32 and in the same circulatory direction. Each holder 4 comprises a pair of jaws 26, 27 which are held open to receive a neck of a container 29 as a cam wheel, Fig. 4, carried by the jaw 26, traverses a cam surface 23 and are closed by a spring 38 to grip a container neck when the wheel 36 disengages the surface 23. The holder is rotated through 90 degrees, by cam mechanism, to present the container in an upright position to a monitoring device 41 which confirms the presence of a container so that it is filled by a corresponding cylinder 7 as the latter and the container advance from position a, through position b, to c. Each cylinder is connected to a central tank (18) by a compressed air pipe (19) and a content product pipe (20), Fig. 2, not shown. A filled container is conveyed, in the direction 31, to the sealing rotary 11 beneath a corresponding sealing unit 12 each of which has a cam operated sector gear 56 which drives a driving roller 45 through a certain angle by means of a clutch 58 to feed a length of foil tape 21, coiled on a drum 21, to the top of the container, whereupon the drive ceases and a shaft 61 is moved downward by a cam operated lever 64 to successively cut off the previously advanced length of foil by a cutter 49, Fig. 5, and lower a heater 66 on the end of the shaft 61. The heater presses the foil against the rim of the container to bond it thereto, adhesive having been previously applied to the metal foil. When the container arrives at position a the shaft 61 rises and the sealed container separates from the rotary 11 and drops through a shoot 74. If a container, as it approaches the rotary 11, is absent, a detector device 21 operates a lever 71 which blocks the action of the sector gear 56. A high frequency sealing device, or a known type of cap-sealing device, may be used instead of the arrangement described. Empty containers can be fed manually, or automatically, to the pan conveyers.

Title: Improvements relating to control valve devices for fluid pressure braking apparatus for railway and like vehicles
IPC: B60T15/30
Filed: 1950-01-25
Abstract: 668,122. Fluid pressure brakes. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., SIMMONS, A. W., and GNAVI, A. Jan. 25, 1950, No. 1935/50. Class 103 (i). In a control valve for automatic fluid pressure brakes for railway and like vehicles comprising a diaphragm in pile unit 17 having diaphragms 3, 24, 26, 28, separating chambers 2, 4, 25, 27, 31, subject respectively to the pressures in the control reservoir 171, the auxiliary reservoir part 172, atmosphere, brake cylinder and brake pipe, a retarded recharge valve 35, a hand-release valve 74, a quick inshot valve unit 106, a control reservoircharging valve 140, a valve unit 155 controlling the action of the quick service bulb 88, 89 and a passenger freight change-over lock 166, during release of the brakes after a brake application. The decrease in brake cylinder pressure is arranged to control both the recharging of the auxiliary reservoir 172, 175 through the recharge valve 35, and the re-opening of the control reservoir charging valve 138 independently of the increase above a certain value of the brake pipe pressure acting in chamber 31 on the diaphragm pile unit. Since the equilibrium of the diaphragm pile unit 17 is dependent on the upward force due to brake pipe pressure acting in chamber 31 and brake cylinder pressure in chamber 27 (the diaphragm 26 having a larger effective area than the diaphragm 28), acting against the downward force of control reservoir pressure in chamber 2, the atmospheric pressure in chamber 25 being constant, and the auxiliary reservoir pressure acting in chamber 4 having no resultant force, if when the slide valve is in the release position shown the brake pipe pressure is increased sufficiently to overcome spring 22, spring 38 moves the retarded recharge value stem 30 so as to cut-off the connection to the brake pipe through port 35a, so that the pressure in chamber 31 is limited. Since the collar 20 on the slide valve spindle 23 is in abutment with the valve body, the slide valve remains in the release position shown and the recharging of the auxiliary reservoir and control reservoir will be dependent upon a variation of the brake cylinder pressure acting in chamber 27 of the diaphragm pile and chamber 134 of the control reservoir charging unit 140. The invention is also described as applied to a control valve which differs only in that there is no quick service bulb control device 155, this function being performed by the addition of suitable ports and passages in the main and graduating slide valves.

Abstract: 509,786. Road-vehicle suspensions. LANCHESTER, F. W. Jan. 24, 1938, No. 2305.'[Class 108 (ii)] In a mechanism for automatically maintaining the body of a motor vehicle at a constant height irrespective of the load, the body is raised 'relatively to the downwardly flexing extremities of the laminated suspension springs by means of a pawl and ratchet or friction wheel which, either directly or through the intermediary of a worm-gear, actuate a screw-and-nut or equivalent irreversible mechanism linked to the spring. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, small displacements of an arm C' have no effect on a toothed ratchet wheel A, but under larger displacements a cam E presses one or other of two pawls into engagement with the wheel, which by its rotation operates a screw- and-nut mechanism G, H connected to a'bellcrank lever L, K controlling the height of the body.

In a servo-assisted vehicle steering mechanism with a resilient coupling in the steering gear transmission, two rocking levers pivotally mounted at diametrically opposite points on one of the coupling parts abut against spring- loaded servo-control slide valves symmetrically disposed in one coupling part and also against link devices in the other coupling part so that relative rotation between the two parts of the coupling actuates the servomotor. A rotary movement of the steering column is transmitted through a resilient coupling to an extension of the column which is provided with a worm engaging a nut carried by a three-armed lever, the latter being connected also to the steerable wheels and to the piston of a servomotor 46. The control valves 31, 32 for the servomotor are carried in the first part 20 of the steering column and are actuated in opposite senses by a lever 25 pivoted on the part 20. Lever 25 is extended in the longitudinal direction and has a tappet and resilient cushion engagement with radial arms formed on the second part of the steering column. When part 20 is turned, the resistance offered by the second part causes lever 25 to rotate and actuate the control valves to supply pressure fluid to one side of the servomotor and exhaust the other side. Suppose valve 31 to be depressed to supply pressure fluid to the left-hand side of the servo-piston, then pressure fluid will be supplied also to depress a ram 36. The latter will act through a lever 26 pivoted on the column 20 to raise the opposite ram 35 and will tend to recentre valve 31 and also supply " feel " back to the driver.

Abstract: 829,849. Waveguide terminations. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Jan. 24, 1958 [Feb. 5, 1957], No. 2482/58. Class 40 (8). A hollow pipe waveguide is terminated in an impedance which closely matches its characteristic impedance in both resistance and reactance over a selected band of frequencies f1- f2. A waveguide 5 of rectangular cross-section has a movable metallic piston 6 at one end forming a reflecting termination and a resistive probe 7 which penetrates the waveguide to an adjustable extent and is mounted with its metalplated end 10 in a holder 11 threaded in a wider face of the waveguide. The probe 7 may be of ceramic at least part of which is coated with carbon. Its D.C. resistance, the distances X and Y, and the distance from the centre line of the guide 5 to the centre of the probe, are adjusted to provide a terminating impedance the resistive component of which closely matches the resistive component of the characteristic impedance over the frequency range f1-f2, and the diameter D, of the probe is chosen so that its reactance substantially cancels the reactance of the reflector as seen from the probe, over the same band. The probe may advantageously be a quarter of a wavelength from the reflector at frequency f1 + f2/2.
