[Also in Division F2] Apparatus for heating and advancing yarns, e.g. in a spinning frame, comprises an internally heated shell roll 1, providing a yarn-engaging surface 6 maintained at a temperature upwards of 200‹C and a yarn-restraining shoulder 7. The roll is supported by an axle 2 by which it is driven from an electric motor (not shown) to rotate at a speed exceeding 6000 r.p.m. The axle 2 is journalled in bearings 4 and 5 retained in a stationary housing 3 and carries mechanical seals 20, 21, and 25, 26, residing in recesses 22, 23, and 27, 28, to confine a coolant-lubricant within the housing as it passes from inlet 24 to outlet 29. Heating vapour, e.g. saturated steam under a pressure slightly less than that of the lubricant, passes from supply conduit 19, annular inlet 18, ports 17, passageway 16 and into the shell 1. Condensate formed on the internal sloping surface of the shell is urged'centrifugally towards and into a groove 8 at 9, whence it passes through orifices 15 enclosed by a stationary plenum 10 and is carried away by a drain 13 which may be connected to a suction tube. The plenum is separated from shoulder 7 by a clearance gap within which is a labyrinth composed of screw threads 12 which act as vanes to pump air into the plenum and thereby check seeping of the condensate. In another apparatus intended for low pressure service, Fig. 2 (not shown) a simplified structure comprises a prelubricated, sealed ball-bearing (replacing bearing 5) and seals 21, 26, housed in opposed relationship in an enlarged recess 23 serially connected to a recess 22 by a duct, the shell 1 comprises an annular steam chamber and the axle 2 is integral with the armature shaft of a driving motor.

Title: Formation of containers from blanks
IPC: B29C69/00
Filed: 1973-11-17
Abstract: 1493352 Making tubular containers JOHN WADDINGTON Ltd 5 Nov 1974 [17 Nov 1973] 53488/73 Heading B5D [Also in Division B8] A machine for forming a tubular container from a creased blank 10 comprises a mandrel 30 having a slot 28 for receiving tabs (22, 24, 26), Fig. 1 (not shown), at a first edge of the blank to fix said first edge relative to the mandrel, means for wrapping the blank round the mandrel so that a second edge of the blank overlaps the first edge, and means for pressing the overlapped edges together. The edges may be secured by gluing, heat sealing or welding. The wrapping of the blank round the mandrel may be achieved by wrapping round a stationary mandrel, by rotating the mandrel or by a combination of both these operations. In one embodiment a feed plate (50), Fig. 6 (not shown), supports successive blanks which may be fed from a magazine, for insertion of the blank tabs (22, 24, 26) into the slot prior to a part of the plate (50) being moved around the axis of the mandrel to partially fold the blank round the mandrel which is stationary at this stage. Upon completion of this partial folding the second edge of the blank is engaged by a reciprocable gluing bar (58), Fig. 6 (not shown). Completion of the wrapping of the blank around the mandrel is then effected by rotation of the latter and a pressure bar (84), Fig. 7 (not shown), which has a profile matching the shape of the container at the overlapping edges and corresponds to the shape of the mandrel at these edges, is pivoted against these edges. The finished container may be pushed off or drawn off the mandrel and in the latter case the mandrel is formed with a separable part against which the container is clamped while this separable part and the container are moved away from the remainder of the mandrel. The various components of the machine may be driven by pneumatic piston and cylinder assemblies controlled through a pneumatic circuit. The mandrel may have a circular, triangular or hexagonal cross-section or it may be as shown in Fig. 2 and have hexagonal ends 32, 34 and a centre piece 36 which has on a peripheral surface, extending for 1¢ flats of the hexagonal ends 32, 34, hexagonal and part hexagonal facets 36A. A container which has been formed from a blank having hexagonal and part hexagonal cells defined by lines of folding and utilizing a mandrel as shown in Fig. 2, has a hexagonal faceted surface, Fig. 4 (not shown).

Abstract: 1,137,908. Internally-meshing gear pumps. STOTHERT & PITT Ltd. March 21, 1967 [Dec. 21, 1965], No.54072/65. Heading F1F. An internally-meshing gear pump comprising a casing 21, Figs. 1, 2, having inlet and outlet ports 24, 25, an outer rotor 32 driven by a shaft 35 having inwardly directed teeth 33 in mesh with outwardly directed teeth 41 of an inner rotor 40 eccentric with respect to the outer rotor and freely mounted on a shaft 43 and a liner 27 having openings 29 coinciding with the ports 24, 25 and diametrically opposite tongues 30 separating the ports 24, 25 from each other, includes means whereby the position of eccentricity of the inner rotor relative to the outer rotor may be varied to vary pump output and reverse the direction of flow through the pump. The means comprise a handle 45 secured to a portion of the shaft 43 concentric with the driving shaft 35 and turnable either manually or by a servomotor through 180 degrees. In Fig. 3, the handle 45 is positioned in which the minimum volume pocket between the rotors is at 6 o'clock and the maximum volume pocket at 12 o'clock and flow through the pump is then a maximum from right to left. On anti-clockwise rotation of the handle 45 through 90 degrees pump output is gradually reduced to zero. On further anti-clockwise rotation through 90 degrees pump output gradually increases from zero to a maximum in the opposite direction. To relieve pressure in the pump pockets adjacent the tongues 30, a circular recess 46, Fig. 6, having pairs of diametrically opposite radial grooves 47, 48 is formed in and end cover 23. A plate 49 having a pair of oppositely disposed radial lugs 50 fixed to the shaft 43 co-operates with the grooves 47, 48. The grooves 47 are less in width than the grooves 48 whilst the lug 50 is greater in width than the grooves 47 and lesser in width than the grooves 48 so that at maximum pump output when relief is unnecessary the lugs 50 mask the grooves 47 to isolate the pump pockets from the ports 24, 25 and at lower pump outputs the pockets adjacent the tongues are connected with the ports 24, 25 through a recess 46. Other constructions of relief means are described.

Abstract: 1337682 Mould closing KRAUSS-MAFFEI AG 25 Nov 1971 [9 Dec 1970] 54883/71 Heading B5A In a moulding machine the mould halves 3, 4, Fig. 1, are attached to support plates 1, 2 which are interconnected by a scissors arrangement in which at least one lever is oblique to the plates when the mould is closed, the lever arrangement causing at least partial counterbalancing of the two mould halves to reduce the force required to open and close the mould. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 three levers 10, 11 and 14 are pivoted at 13 to frame 19 on each side of the mould. The lever 14 is angularly adjustable by hydraulic ram 20 to determine the degree of tilt of the mould and is located in the desired position by a pin engaging a hole in disc 18. The support plates 1, 2 are guided by pins in slots 15 of lever 14. The pins 23 on the ends of levers 10, 11 are caused to slide in slotted guides 10 by rams 22 connected between the upper plate and the upper pins 23 so that the mould parts are moved to and from each other by the scissors action of levers 10, 11. The mould halves may be correctly located by pins 7 entering holes in the lower mould half. In a similar embodiment, Fig. 5, non-sliding pivots 44 are provided at one end of levers 45, 46 and the pivot pins 51 on the end slide additionally in slots 52 of guide arm 53. A central pin 54 of guide arm 53 slides in slot 55 of lever 57 which is adjustable about pivot 56 to tilt the mould. In the embodiment of Fig. 3 the ends of levers 25, 26 extend beyond the mould and are joined by cross-pieces 29. Rams 33 acting between the support plates 27, 28 open and close the mould. The whole machine may be tilted about pivots 40 by a ram at the opposite side (not shown).
