Title: The heat-sealing of collapsible tube containers
IPC: B65B51/02
Filed: 1952-07-01
Abstract: 698,168. Collapsable tubes; packaging. COHEN, R. (Levkowitsch, M.). July 1, 1952, No. 16526/52. Classes 66 and 94(i) The filling end of a-collapsable tube, that is the opposite end to the nozzle, is permanently heatsealed by the heat melting and subsequent setting of a wax. It is preferred to melt the sealing substance and immerse the filling end of the empty collapsable tube a short way into it. On cooling the wax sets and the tube is then filled; closed and folded in the usual way. Heat is then applied; for example by placing the folded end of the tube between temperature controlled jaws, to cause the wax to melt and flow within the folds so forming a seal after it has cooled. Cooling may be accelerated by cool air jets or immersion of the seal in iced water.

Patent GB-488235-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to electric filament lamps
IPC: H01K1/62
Filed: 1937-06-18
Abstract: 488,235. Electric control systems. EURICH, J. E. G. June 18, 1937, Nos. 16952 and 21255. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Groups XXXVI and XXXV] A multiple filament lamp or a circuit containing two lamps or heaters is provided with an electromagnetic switch that is operated by the initial surge of current to open the circuit to one filament, lamp, or heater, but the latter can be brought into operation by momentarily opening the main switch so that the electromagnetic switch closes and remains closed. The switching device may be arranged in a branched adapter or in a lamp cap 28, one contact 33 being connected to a common lead-in 8 to the two filaments 9, 10. The other contact 32 is connected by a conductor 7 to the winding 110 of the electromagnetic switch and thence to the filament 9, and also through the switch contacts 43 to the filament 10. When the main switch is closed the surge of current lifts the armature 46 which, with lost motion, raises the conical element 44 from the contacts 43, so that only the filament 9, which may be of small power, is operative. If the main switch is opened momentarily the element 44 drops, and the surge on reclosing is insufficient to operate the electromagnetic device as the filament is hot and its resistance is consequently higher. The filament 10 is therefore brought into operation. Other circuit arrangements may be employed. For example the winding 110 may be connected in series with both filaments between the leads 7, 8, the contacts 43 being in a lead connecting a tapping from the winding 110 to the junction of the two filaments. In this arrangement when the electromagnetic switch is opened by the surge, only the filament of smaller wattage is effectively operated or if two equal filaments are installed a dull light is emitted. When the electromagnetic switch is closed, the filament of higher wattage or one of two equal filaments is operated at full brightness. A pair of lamps or heaters may be similarly operated. The electromagnetic switch may close the auxiliary circuit when energized or its winding may be divided and the parts located at different positions in the circuit.

Title: Apparatus for and method of wrapping
IPC: B65B31/04
Filed: 1959-05-26
Abstract: 894,535. Packaging - machines. FMC CORPORATION. May 26, 1959 [June 2, 1958], No. 17879/59. Class 94(1). Articles such as cheese and sliced meat, are sealed in individual packages formed from a longitudinally folded sheet of impervious material from which the air has been removed and replaced by an inert gas. The sheet of material 14 from a roll 16 is fed to an inverted channel-shaped former 18 and the articles 20 are also fed to this former so that in entering the former the articles are wrapped in the material 14. The former contains means for sealing the material longitudinally to form a tube containing the articles 20. Driven belts 34 at each side of the exit end of the former 18 press the material against each article and advance the wrapped article to a pair of rolls 48 which seal and sever the material transversely between each article. A tube 60 passes from a manifold 62, through the former and ends in a head 68 adjacent the rolls 48 and delivers nitrogen to the interior of the wrapping in the direction of the open end of the wrapping, i.e. towards the former 18, at a temperature the same as, or slightly above, atmospheric temperature. The gas may alternatively be considerably above the temperature of the atmosphere so that on cooling the wrapper contracts around the shape of the article. Rollers 90, 91 press the wrapping on to the top of the articles and cause the nitrogen to pass beneath the articles at these locations and obstructions 104 in the base 30 of the wrapping machine cause the nitrogen to pass over the top of the articles thereby ensuring complete absence of air in the package. The nitrogen is supplied from an air bottle 84, passes through a pressure reducing valve 72 and then to a heat exchanger 74 through which hot water circulates. In an alternative construction the tube 60 and head 68 are replaced by several tubes directed at their open ends towards the rolls 48, 49. The tube may be sealed transversely and longitudinally by heat sealing means. Specification 791,425 is referred to.
