Abstract: 1,234,923. Packaging. MACHINEFABRIEK BREDA N.V. 14 Jan., 1969 [15 Jan., 1968], No. 2257/69. Heading B8C. In a machine for filling cartons 48 with glass jars 43 or the like which are separated by a protective web of cardboard 17 or the like, the jars are fed in in two closed rows with the web between them, the jars of alternate rows being pushed towards each other so that the web takes a sinuous form around them, the cardboard being then cut and the row pushed sideways into the carton. The interdigitation of the jars is done by toothed discs 22, 23 and 25, 26 having recesses 27, 28 for gripping the jars alternately. Jars fed along conveyer 13 are guided by rails 9, 10 on to conveyer 2 surmounted by guide-rails 3-9 dividing the jars into three streams, each with an interdigitating set of discs. Cardboard 17 is fed from reels 16. After interdigitation, the groups of jars 46 are guided by bars 33, 34, 35 and 36 forming three channels on to table 37 whereat cutter 38 severs the cardboard. The table executes a rocking movement and the jars are slid by a pusher (not shown) into carton 48.

IPC: G08B5/22
Filed: 1917-02-15
Abstract: 126,696. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, Sir G. T. Feb. 15, 1917. Order and order-type apparatus.-A resultant-field motor for an electric signalling system is controlled by a transmitting switch in such a manner that all or a number of the field magnets are energized during the passage of the switch from one control position to the next, whereby the motor armature is retained electro-magnetically against movement during the transition period of the switch. In its operative positions the switch short-circuits or open circuits all the field magnet windings except two. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the motor M is provided with three pairs of opposite field poles 1, 2, 3, the circuits of which are controlled by a drum transmitter T. When the transmitter T is moved to position I, the windings on the poles 1 are energized in series from the drum segment 5, contact finger 7, field windings contact finger 10 and drum segment 6; while the windings on the poles 2, 3 are short circuited by the contact fingers 8, 9 engaging a projection on the regment 6. When the drum moves through the intermediate position between the operating positions I, II the windings on the poles 1, 2, 3 are energized in series, and on reaching the operative position II, the windings on the poles 1, 3 are short-circuited and the windings on the poles 2 are energized. A similar operation occurs when passing from position II to position III. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, when passing from position I to position II, the windings on the poles 1 are short-circuited and the windings on the poles 2, 3 are energized in series; while upon reaching the operative position II, the windings in the poles 3 are also short-circuited, leaving only the windings on the poles 2 energized. A similar operation occurs when passing from position II to position III.

Abstract: 187,567. Sulzer FrÞres Soc. Anon., (known as Sulzer Akt.-Ges., Geb.). Oct. 18, 1921, [Convention date]. Intertubular and water-tube boilers; generating by indirect contact of heated gases.-In apparatus for cooling and utilizing the heat of incandescent coke, in which a gaseous heat carrier is passed in a closed circuit through the coke in a cooling chamber and steam-generating plant, the heat carrier passes in succession through steamgenerating and feed-water heating portions of the plant, which are so arranged relatively to one another that heat cannot pass from the first to the second. In the multitubular boiler plant shown in Fig. 1 the feed-water heater g is arranged beneath the boiler f, and the heat carrier passes first through the internal tubes a of the apparatus and then through flues around the drums. In a water-tube boiler plant the steam-generating and feed-water heating sections are arranged side by side, and each comprises upper and lower drums connected by vertical tubes. The two sections are joined at the upper drums, and the feed-water is supplied to the lower drum of the heating section. In a vertically arranged multitubular boiler the two sections are in a single drum, and circulation of water from the upper steam-generating section to the lower feed-water heating section is prevented by connecting the return pipe from an overhead steam drum to the middle of the height of the water drum.

Abstract: 247,192. Bergmann - Elektricitats- Werke, Akt.-Ges. Feb. 7, 1925, [Convention date]. Driving arrangements; stop-apparatus, non- automatic.-In flyer-spinning-machines, in which the flyers are operated by gear wheels, the flyers are stopped in the required position for threading the roving by switching in the driving-mechanism, which is subsequently automatically cut out. In the arrangement shown in the Figure an electromagnetic switch f in the circuit of the driving electric motor a is provided with a contact h for a circuit of the magnet coil g, and the circuit of the magnet coil g is so arranged that, when the contact i is placed in position I by means of a rod k, the switch is alternately opened and closed by reason of the opening and closing of the circuit of the coil by the contact h. When the flyers are in the desired position a cam m on the flyerdriving shaft b or on a flyer spindle operates the rod k so that the contact i is placed in its mid position. The machine operates normally with the contact i in position II. and the coil g energized. The automatic stopping of the machine when the flyers are in position may be effected by an auxiliary contact, instead of by the movement of the rod k, and two separate switches may be used in place of a single throw-over switch so arranged as to prevent both being actuated at the same time.
