Title: Improvements in and relating to packing machines
IPC: B65B19/02
Filed: 1937-08-19
Abstract: 500,974. Packeting-machines. HORGAN, G. D., and INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY CO., Ltd. Aug. 19, 1937, No. 22795. [Class 94 (i)] In a machine for packing cigarettes and the like in slide and shell cartons, the shells S, Fig. 2b, which may have been erected by mechanism such as is described in Specification 466,177, are fed into position for charging by a plate 12 having an adjustable downwardly projecting wall 13 adapted to engage the upper edge of the shell. The plate is adjustably secured to a bar 14 on a horizontally reciprocating slide 15 moving in guides 16. A crank disc 19 and link 20 operates a lever 18 having a link 17 pivoted to a block 21 in a slot 22 in the slide. Normally the block is locked by a catch 23 but can be disconnected by a lever 26 and link 24 to allow the block to slide idly in the slot, so that the slide 15 can be retracted in the event of jamming. The shell is prevented from moving off the mouthpiece 28 by an abutment 34 on a bell-crank lever 36 operated by a cam 37. The cam is shaped to provide a second dwell in a position in which a second abutment 44 holds the filled packet after it has been thrust clear of the mouth-piece 28 and is ready for discharge. The ejection of the filled slides from the pockets 29 on a rotary table 10, Fig. 1a, is effected by a pusher 30 mounted as a guidebar 31 and reciprocated by a crank disc 32 and link 33. Ejection takes place when the pocket is immediately behind the mouth-piece 28. The rotary table may be as described in Specification 466,176, or it may be replaced by a rectilinearly moving conveyer device. When the table is adapted for a duplex machine, a second pusher is mounted on a guide bar 169 and is actuated in timed relation with the pusher 30 by racks 70, 71, and pinions 72, 73. During the inserting operation, the shell is held between adjustable guide walls 45, 46, Fig. 5, and the wall 46 is mounted on an arm 47 so that it can be lifted upwards when pushers 53 on chains 52 feed the packet on to a discharge flap 54. The flap is mounted on a bell-crank lever 56 and delivers the packets to a horizontal stacking device 55. A device for detecting faulty packets, e.g. as described in Specification 477,924 may be provided so that an arm 62 engages a pin 63 and holds the flap 54 in the raised position so that the faulty packet is not fed into the stacking device.

Abstract: 659,691. Casting composite articles; patterns. FOUNDRY EQUIPMENT Ltd., and BEECH, A. S. Sept. 9, 1949, No. 23415. [Class 83 (i)] A pattern plate is cast within a collar-like frame one edge of which is flush with the parting face of the plate while the other extends behind the rear face of the plate. This hollow back is filled with concrete &c. A master pattern 1 is placed on a flat sand face 6 of a box 2, a box 5 is clamped thereon and packed with sand 3. The filled box 5 with the pattern 1 therein is reversed, a frame 9, Fig. 4, is placed thereon and aligned and clamped and is then packed with sand S. The filled frame 9 is removed, part spherical recesses 21, Fig. 10, are pressed in the sand face, a soft nail 22 is inserted obliquely at each recess and gits 25 are cut out. A rim 10 is applied to the frame 9 and the whole is inverted on to the filled box 5, without the pattern 1, but with runners 8 cut therein, and forms a mould as shown, for casting a lead-antimony alloy pattern plate 26 united to the frame 9. After casting, the sand S is broken out, the nails are bent and the frame is filled with cement which is allowed to harden. To make a pattern plate for the other side of the required article, the box 5, before removal of the pattern, and the filled frame 9, before forming the recesses 21, are used. A box 13, Fig. 6, is clamped on the box 5, rammed, and drawn by screws 17 and split nuts 15 held by tongs 14 and holes 19, Fig. 11, are cut in the sand 3a to receive tubes 28. Similarly a frame 20 is clamped to the frame 9, rammed and drawn and then holes 27, larger than 19, accommodate freely the tubes 28. Before assembling 13 and 20, recesses 21 are formed, nails 22 are inserted and a rim 10 fitted. After casting the second plate 30 the sand is replaced by cement as before. In use the cement frame for the cope or drag with pattern plate, e.g. 30, up is placed on the table 31, Fig. 12, of a moulding machine, pins 32 ensuring registration with false flask 33 and flask 34. Pins 41, for forming the gits, engage the tubes 28. When worn the rim 10 can be replaced.

Title: Improvements in and relating to wrap striping or patterning mechanism in knitting machines
Inventor: DEANS FREDERICK EDWARD
IPC: D04B9/18
Filed: 1945-09-12
Abstract: 650,662. Knitting. BENTLEY ENGINEERING CO., Ltd. Sept. 12, 1945, No. 23468. [Class 74 (ii)] Knitting-machine wrap striping or patterning mechanism comprising at least one wrap finger, means for advancing the thread-feeding part thereof at the plain side of a group of needles capable of selection to take the wrap yarn, means for projecting it across the needle line to the hook side thereof, an abutment for engaging and locating the projected part of the finger with respect to the needle operating means whilst its wrapping traverse is effected at the same speed as the relative displacement between the needle bed of the knitting cams or the like and means for returning the thread feeding part of the finger across the needle line after it has been carried past the group, has means exerting a resilient restoring force which opposes the advance and biasses the threadfeeding part of the finger in the direction of its relative wrapping traverse. Resilient blade-like wrap fingers 6, 6a, are carried in grooves in a cylindrical carrier 8 inside and rotating with the upper needle cylinders. A deflector 20 is slid down a groove in the carrier to engage a projection 19 carried by the finger 6 and deflect a short length of the lower end of the finger, from its position against a rear stop 23, along and behind the needles to overtake a group of them. Finger 6 carries finger 6a along with it and the lower ends of both brush over a spring stop 24 which yields and springs up behind them. Cams 11 then rock finger 6 to advance its thread-guiding toe 7 radially through the needle line. A stationary abutment 28 thereupon engages the toe to prevent it springing back along the needle line and holds it stationary whilst the group of needles passes it, selected needles being raised to wrapping level. The finger 6 is then rocked back through the needle line, by cams or a spring and is, at the same time, overtaken by the stop 23 and again carried along with the needles. Meanwhile, as finger 6 is rocked out through the needle line, finger 6a springs back to the stop 24 and is later similarly rocked outwards, held by a fixed stop 28a whilst the needle group passes it, selected needles being raised to be wrapped by the second thread, and rocked inwards to be engaged by the stop 23. The stops 23, 24, are mounted on a sector 38 capable of circumferential adjustment. Abutments 28, 28a are mounted to yield in the direction of rotation to avert damage if the fingers should be projected outwardly too soon. The wrap yarns are separated from the ground yarn by laying them over a piece of wire 34 attached at the beginning of the wrapping zone to a non-rotatable tube located inside the top needle cylinder and extending to just beyond the clearing point. The engagement between parts 20 and 19 may be a hinged connection. The draw-thread of Specification 400,623 may be incorporated. Specifications 650,663 and 650,664 are referred to.
