Abstract: 1,209,442. Stacking articles on pallets. BRITISH MATHEWS Ltd. 19 Oct., 1967 [20 July, 1966], No. 32672/66. Headings B8C arid B8H. A pallet is fed horizontally in steps by pawls on a reciprocating carriage 234 (Fig. 5) and is loaded from above either during its movement (Fig. 5) or during its rest periods (Fig. 14). General arrangement.-In the construction illustrated the bottom pallet from a stack 101 (Fig. 1) is delivered to a station 201 where it receives several rows of casks, and the loaded pallets are then stacked in pairs in a device 301 before delivery by a conveyer 310.  Removing pallets from the stack.-The nextto-bottom pallet of the stack is supported by retracting members 112 while the bottom pallet is lowered by pivoted members (105), (106) (Fig. 3, not shown) operated by hydraulic rams and located between parallel endless chains 103 by which the bottom pallet is removed.  Assembling the casks on the pallet.-Casks 20 (Fig. 5) are delivered by chains 202 from which they are then lifted by vertical movement of rollers 203, 204. Rollers 223 on a swinging arm 221 (plan view in Fig. 7, not shown) then push the row of casks into an elevator 226 by which they are lowered to a position immediately over the pallet 11. The counterweight 232 of the elevator serves as a stop for the casks. The carriage 234 then simultaneously pushes the row of casks, which it engages by a shaped surface 240, from the elevator, at the same time as pawls on the carriage 234 feed the pallet 11 over rollers 233. After a first row of casks has been placed on the pallet in this way the carriage 234 is retracted so that it can feed a further row of casks from the elevator, simultaneously feeding the pallet 11 through a further increment. Where the casks are delivered with their axes horizontal as shown at 420 in Fig. 14, the elevator is replaced by a cradle 405 pivoted at 406. A stop 414 for preventing the casks rolling off the cradle moves downwardly as the cradle delivers the row of casks to the pallet while the pallet is stationary. Stacking the loaded pallets.-The loaded pallet is positioned over a lifting frame 32 (Fig. 12) by which it is raised to a position where it can be held by swinging latches 306. A second loaded pallet is similarly raised into contact with the first, the latches 306 are retracted, and the pair of pallets is lowered on to the delivery conveyer.  Automatic control.-The feed of the drums is initiated when each of several switches detecting drums correctly positioned at the point 20 (Fig. 5) have all been operated. Stacking of the pallets is initiated when a stop (not shown) is deflected by positioning of a loaded pallet A swinging bell crank (not shown) detests when the magazine 101 (Fig. 1) is empty. Construction of pallets.-Where the pallets are to receive casks with their axes horizontal, the pallets include parallel longitudinal planks arranged in vertical planes and with concave depressions on both faces of the pallet to receive the casks above and below in a stack.

Title: Control of moisture content of tobacco or other material of the tobacco-processing industry
IPC: A24B3/04
Filed: 1974-07-25
Abstract: 1475600 Drying tobacco HAUNI-WERKE KORBER & CO KG 25 July 1974 [10 Aug 1973] 32799/74 Heading F4G [Also in Division G3] The moisture content of tobacco or other product of this industry is kept constant by a system in which any deviation in the measured value of moisture content from a reference causes adjustment to a first conditioning medium which comprises a gas stream and has a fast response and this adjustment produces a signal which is applied to a proportional plus integral device, the output of which adjusts a second conditioning medium having a longer time constant, as a result of which the adjustment to the first medium is cancelled. The object is to keep the fast acting corrector in the centre of its range. In the embodiment moist tobacco 9 is passed through a rotating drying drum 1 to an output conveyor 17. The moisture content of the output is measured at 28 and compared with a refrence 31 at 29. Any deviation is applied as a desired value to the comparator 30 of a temperature control loop, the actual value for which is the temperature of drying gas (air), measured at 35, which is blown through the drum against the direction of tobacco flow. The output of comparator 30 adujsts a servo valve 24, 27 which admits cool air to be mixed with that drum through an electric heater 22. The valve has an electric position pick-off 33 whose output is compared with a reference 36; the difference is applied to PI device 37 whose output constitutes the desired value for a steam pressure control loop, the actual value being the pressure measured at 43 of steam generated in a boiler 39 and supplied to heating pipes 42 in the drum. These also constitute blades to feed the tobacco through the drum. The effect of the integrating action of 37 is to continue adjustment of the steam heating until the servo valve 27 returns to its initial position as set on reference 36. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,345,175.

Title: Improvements relating to fish fillet skinning machines
IPC: A22C25/17
Filed: 1955-11-18
Abstract: 804,715. Fish, skinning. ROWTON, H. S., SHAW, C., and ROBERTSON, R. Feb. 15, 1957 [Nov. 18, 1955], No. 33023/55. Class 28 (2). A fish tail or fillet end skin down is gripped in the nip between endless ropes 40 and the rim of a wheel 19 (in plan) until it meets a tangential skinning knife 41 which cuts across the tail to the depth of the skin each near the line V-V. Further rotation of the wheel then begins to pull the tail along and also away from the knife edge so that skinning is continued as the fish slides along a support plate 40 while the tail and skin is pulled away between the knife 41, Fig. 7, and the plate 40. The skinned fillet slides down the plate 40 while the tail and skin is carried round within a guide bar 54 until it is removed by triangular scrapers 56, to slide down a shoot 57. This circular traverse of the fillet gives slow skinning at the beginning and accelerated cutting towards the other end thereby causing less tearing of the fish. The fish is initially laid by hand across endless conveyer belts 30 with its tail overhanging the inner belt as in Fig. 6 so that it droops down to be gripped in the nip of the rim of the wheel 19 and its peripheral ropes 20. The pulled fish slides smoothly on an arcuate plate 37 which begins to slope radially downwards, so that the centrifugal swing of the fish presents it at right angles to the knife 41 at V-V where it transfers to the similar outwardly and downwardly sloping support plate 40. The knife 41 is adjustable up or down towards the inner edge of the plate 40 by a handwheel 51, Fig. 3, which adjusts a nut 52 on a bracket 44 carrying the knife 41. The ropes 20 are kept tensioned by urging the wheel 21 outwards by a rod 25 pressing out the bearing 23, the rod 25 being pulled outwards by tension springs 27.
