Abstract: 938,110. Labelling machines. MORGAN FAIREST Ltd. May 17, 1962 [May 22, 1961], No. 14637/61. Class 73. In a labelling machine for labelling bottles or other articles of circular, non-circular and polygonal cross-section, the bottles &c. 4, Fig. 1, are passed between wiping flaps 6 hinged at 5 and urged against stops into a common plane by springs 17, suction apertures 20 for holding the label 18 being provided on the faces of the flaps which face the advancing bottle. As shown, similar wiping flaps 12 are provided for applying neck labels 19, their hinges 11 and edges 13 being inclined correspondingly to the bottle neck. The mountings 10 for the hinges 11 are themselves mounted on horizontal hinges 9 so that the edges 13 of the flaps can accommodate themselves to the neck during its passage therebetween. The front face of each flap may be formed of resilient material which may project to form a flexible flap edge. In Fig. 4 (not shown), the flaps are formed by round tubes 6X, 12X along which the suction apertures 20 emerge. In a labelling machine described, the bottle 4, Fig. 9, carried on vertically movable cradle 28 is moved between horizontally arranged flaps 6, 12 located above guides 25 for a horizontally reciprocating picker plate 26, Fig. 7, having an aperture 27 in which is located a vertical movable pusher plate 32. During movement of the plate 26 to a position below a vertically movable label magazine 29 the sides of the plate 26 adjacent the aperture 27 are gummed by a gumming roller 35 for extraction of labels from the magazine. The plate 26 and aperture 27 then moves to a position below the flaps 6, 12 and the pusher plate 32 moves vertically through the apertures 27 to transfer the label to the flaps. In a further embodiment, six conveyers 56, Figs. 12, 13 (not shown), carry bottles between six sets of vertically movable flaps 6, 12, which are duplicated so that as one set applies the labels, the other set has been raised for the application of gummed labels thereto. In another embodiment the bottles are fed on a conveyer 65, Fig. 15, to a turntable 64 and are carried by arms 67 and clamp fingers 52 through a hexagonal turret 62 having sets of flaps 6, 12 on alternate sides and intermittently rotated by stages of 120 degrees. Labels are transferred from a magazine 29 to the turret 62 by means of a rotatable pick-up turret 57 which is gummed by a gumming device 58 and by means of an oscillating finger 59. Alternate sides of the turret 62 are open to permit exit of the bottles.

Title: Improved method and apparatus for arranging blanks into separate stacks
IPC: B65H31/24
Filed: 1964-04-09
Abstract: 1,003,640. Delivering sheets. SIEFVERT & FORNANDER A.B. April 9, 1964 [April 24, 1963], No. 14678/64. Heading B6H. A group of sheets leaving a cutting apparatus and extending transversely of the feed path with their cut sides closely adjacent each other, have their side edges separated by tilting bodily each sheet about an axis parallel to the direction of feed, whereby the sheets can readily be stacked into separate compartments which are separated by partitions. As described, wide printed blanks are separated from a hopper and fed by dogs on endless chains, and then by feed rollers, between pairs of rotary knives which cut them into sheets 25. The sheets are then all advanced in side-by-side order by feed rollers 17 under an arcuate guide plate 18 to rubber feed rollers 19, all the rollers having circumferential grooves coinciding with the cut sides of the sheets. As each sheet leaves the rollers 19, one side edge is depressed by a fixed guide wire 20 on a rod 21, and the opposite side is raised by a guide wire 22 held in the face of a sawtooth section shelf 26, Fig. 4. The side edges of the sheets 25 are thus separated by the bodily tilting of the sheets, and they can thus pass down into compartments separated by thin sheet-metal partitions 28 where they stand on edge against the inclined sections of the shelf 26. The sheets are guided in their descent by curved plates 24, and they rest on a curved base 29 which merges with a feed table 30. Openings in the shelf 26 accommodate a set of pushers 31 which are secured to a yoke 33 pivoted on stub shafts 36, and this yoke can be reciprocated by pairs of rods 39 acting on bell-cranks 40a, 40b to cause the pushers 31 to push all the sheets out of the compartments on the shelf 26 over the base 29 to form a series of stacks. Tongues 44, which are integral with the partitions 28 and guide plates 24, deflect each sheet as it is pushed away from the shelf 26, and prevent the sheet sliding back against the shelf.

Title: A method for obtaining nickel and cobalt from low-grade silicate ores or metallurgical waste
IPC: C01G53/00
Filed: 1962-04-17
Abstract: Cobalt and nickel hydroxides are obtained from silicate ores or metallurgical waste containing at least 0.15% nickel by mixing ore or waste with sulphur or sulphides, sulphates or sulphites of other metals and with chlorides or alkali or alkaline earth metals, roasting so that the nickel and cobalt are converted into water-soluble chlorides, oxychlorides or chloride-sulphate mixed salts, leaching with water, aqueous ammonia or dilute aqueous acid, and selectively precipitating nickel and cobalt from the solution as hydroxide.  Chlorination and sulphation are effected simultaneously by adding one or more of the following compounds:-FeS2, FeS, FeSO4, S, together with NaCl and/or CaCl2 and roasting at a temperature from 250 DEG  to 600 DEG  C.  The roasted material may be leached with the solution obtained by absorbing the roaster gases in water.  Insoluble silicates separate out to leave a solution containing nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese magnesium and sodium sulphate.  Sodium sulphate may be recovered on cooling.  The metals are recovered by one of two methods; in one method, iron cobalt, manganese and nickel may be selectively precipitated as hydroxides at progressively increasing pH from 4-8 under oxidizing conditions.  In the other method, the nickel, cobalt, and iron may be precipitated from the solution using alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, or milk of lime; the ferrous iron is oxidized to ferric by aeration and the nickel and cobalt compounds are dissolved in acid at a pH above 4 and reprecipitated at a pH value of less than 6.  Nickel and cobalt may be precipitated as the tetravalent hydroxides by means of calcium, sodium or potassium hypochlorite, or sodium hydroxide.  Magnesium hydroxide may be precipitated at pH 9-10 from the solution remaining after precipitation of the nickel and cobalt hydroxides.

The truck shown has the platform 6 mounted upon four pillars 7 each working in a frame 4 bolted to the under frame 1 and having ratchet teeth 8 engaged by a pawl 13 on one arm 12 of a bell-crank lever pivoted at 10. The other arm 9 of this lever is connected to a rod 25 which has a forward extension 31 for engagement with a jaw 28 on the truck handle 27 mounted on the steering axle 32. A retaining pawl 11 also is mounted on the pivot 10. To raise the platform, the handle is swung to and fro. During the rearward movement, it pushes the bars 25, thereby raising the platform the space of a tooth of the ratchet by the pawl 13. A spring 30 returns the bars 25 and pawl 13 during the forward movement of the handle. For effecting the lowering of the platform there is provided a member 14 freely mounted on the pivot 10 and having cam surfaces 33<a>, 33<b> engaged by a spring-pin 15. When the platform reaches the uppermost position, a projection 21 on a rod 19 fixed to the platform engages a pin 22 on the member 14 and swings this member from the position shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 5 so that, urged by the spring-pin 15 against a pin 23 on the pawl 11, it then tends to disengage this pawl from the ratchet. In the forward position of the truck handle however, a. pin 24 on the pawl 13 drops into a recess 17 in and depresses the member 14, disengaging this pawl and permitting the engagement of the pawl 11. By swing- ing the handle rearwardly, the pawl 13 is engaged with the ratchet and the platform can be slightly raised to allow the member 14 to disengage the pawl 11. The platform can then be lowered the space of a tooth, when the pawl 11 again becomes engaged and the pawl 13 is disengaged as shown in Fig. 5. At the completion of the lowering movement, a second projection on the rod 19 returns the member 14 to the position shown in Fig 3,
