Abstract: 1,209,302. Shaping sheet materials. A. N. GOODMAN. 26 Oct., 1969 [26 July, 1966], No. 33665/66. Heading B6J. Light-weight cases are formed by cutting blanks from a flat sheet of material, pressing each blank between a stamper member and a die, and depositing each case so formed through the die on to conveyer means forming part of a production line in which the cases are used. The invention is particularly suitable for stamping crimped baking cases from a continuous sheet of greaseproof paper or foil laminate, the cases being deposited directly on to an oven sheet which is conveyed through a filling station to the oven. Fig. 1 illustrates apparatus in which a blank 24 has been cut from continuous sheet 16 by a rotary cutter 12, which is subsequently retracted from the cutting table 14. A stamper member 18 forces blank 24 through a hole 22 in table 14 into die 20, Fig. 2 (not shown); the stamper 18 is formed of a truncated cone 34 and a pusher 36, and the cone 34 is also partially retracted, while the pusher 36 deposits the case (30), Fig. 3 (not shown), into a recess 28 of an oven sheet 26 carried on an intermittent conveyer 32. The complete stamper member 18 then returns to its initial position, and the sheet 16 is fed forwards again. A number of such stamping units may be mounted side-by-side to operate simultaneously across an oven sheet, Fig. 4 (not shown). The stamper and the die may be heated. Rotary cutter 12, cone 34 and plunger 36 are generally mounted on hollow concentric shafts connected to camshafts or crank-shafts which control their operating cycles independently (not shown). The die 20 is normally open-ended, but may, alternatively, have a closed lower end which is moved aside to allow each case to be deposited below the die. The die may also be split into sections which could be opened up for use with non-resilient cases.

[Also in Divisions D1 and H3] In a washing machine, the rinsing cycle is controlled by a plurality of transistor switching stages and a light source 17 associated with a timing circuit determining the total rinsing time and forming an optical coupling with a photosensitive resistor 27 in the switching circuit which causes the machine to be filled to a predetermined level. Each rinsing cycle comprises filling the washing machine container with rinsing water, rinsing the clothes and emptying the container. The operation is a modification of that set out in Specification 1,127, 891 for washing, switches 19, 20, 23, being in dotted line positions and switch 82 being in one of its dotted line positions. When container 10 is filled, with switch 20 in the dotted line position, water heating relay 7 is not energized. During filling, photo-sensitive resistance 33 is illuminated by light source 12 and is low ohmic, capacitor 36 being charged through it. When the container is filled, light source 12 is de-energized and capacitor 36 discharges through resistance 77 to time the rinsing cycle. When capacitor 36 has discharged, relay 8 is de-energized and relay 9 is energized to empty container 10. During emptying, light source 15 is energized, photo-sensitive resistor 25 is low ohmic, light source 11 is de-energized and resistors 21 and 31 become high ohmic. Capacitor 38, which was charged through resistor 31, begins to discharge through the selected resistor 79, 80 or 81. Relay 9 is switched off abruptly after emptying and the circuit returns to the condition for the container 10 to be filled again. The cycle is repeated until capacitor 38 is substantially or wholly discharged and automatic re-filling of the container 10 ceases.
