Title: Improvements in mechanism for applying patches and fasteners to envelopes and the like and to envelopes and the like made thereby
IPC: B31B1/90
Filed: 1938-07-27
Abstract: 517,463. Attaching fasteners to envelopes &c. THIEMANN, W. H. A. (Smithe Machine Co., Inc. F. L.). July 27, 1938, No. 13997. Addition to 517,403. [Class 94 (ii)] To a machine for applying fastening devices to envelopes &c. as set forth in the parent Specification, mechanism is added for pressing a patch into adhesive engagement with an envelope or body over the portions of the attached fastener which have been clinched into position. Envelopes E with closure flaps open from a stack S are removed by a suction 'device S' and carried by cam-operated grippers G on rotors R<1>, R<11> to feed belts B<1>, B<11>. Camoperated spring-biased fingers 53, 54 are raised periodically to stop the envelopes, and while at rest at station A<1>, A<11> a patch P' and a fastening device F<1> are applied to each envelope. The patch material, pre-gummed, is taken from a roll W<1>, fed by rolls 131, 132 through a moistened device 131<x>, and severed, applied and perforated, at 9, by a punch P<2>. The punch P<2> operates against a fixed anvil A, VB, whilst the fasteners F<1>, fed through a chute C, are applied by a plunger P' operating against a reciprocable anvil V which enters the mouth of the envelope, the former having been opened by a camoperated finger. The mechanism previously described is substantially similar to that set forth in the parent Specification. At station A', a web of pre-gummed Kraft paper, cloth &c. W<x> is fed, moistened and severed, the gummed patch P<x> therefrom being received between spring-ledges on a reciprocable anvil V<4> introduced into the mouth of the envelope opened again by a cam-operated finger. A plunger T<11> is now operated to "squash" the fastener into position with the adhesive patch P<x> covering the prongs inside the envelope. The completed envelopes are collected at H.

Abstract: 1,177,214. Machinery safety devices; linkwork. HOOVER Ltd. 29 March, 1967 [31 March, 1966], No. 14342/66. Headings F2J and F2K. [Also in Divisions D1 and E2] In a washing machine having a loading/ unloading door 11 giving access to a drum in which articles are washed, a locking device for a sliding latch 12 for holding the door shut is mechanically linked to a timer 42, Fig. 5, controlling a cycle of operations of the machine, to prevent opening of the door 11 while the drum is rotating or the water level in the machine is above the lower edge of the door. The latch 12, spring-urged into the operative position, is actuated by a bell-crank 15 secured to a shaft 14 carrying a handle (13), (Fig. 2, not shown). One end of a push-rod 24 is spring- urged against an arm 23 of bell-crank 15. The end (51), (Fig. 2, not shown) of an arm 40, pivoted at 41 and controlled by a timer cam 44, engages a projection 34 of a pivoted arm 30 which is spring-biased towards a position in which its end 33 prevents movement of the push-rod 24 and hence release of the latch 12. With the machine at rest, the arm 30 is held clear of the rod 24. When the machine is started, the cam 44 rotates to cause the arm 30 to block the rod 24. When the cycle is completed, the follower 45 on lever 40 drops back to the inner position shown (Fig. 5) on the cam, and the rod 24 is released. On failure of the machine during the operating cycle, a tool may be inserted through a hole in the casing to manually move the arm 30 clear of the rod 24. A plate (62), (Fig. 6, not shown), slidable in a guide channel 57 behind a window (67) in the machine casing to indicate the progress of the operating cycle, is secured to a cable 55 anchored at its ends 56, (60) to the casing and passing over a pulley 54 on the lever 40, a fixed pulley 58, and a tensioning pulley (59), so that it moves in response to movement of the timer cam 44.

Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic weigher for ascertaining the aggregate weight of flowing material, and to that type of weigher which is operated and time-controlled by external motive power. The invention consists in diverting the flow of material by means of a tilting shoot, in turn to two or more weighing receptacles each mounted on a separate weighing unit and intermittently connected to a weighing and integrating device. As shown, two weighing receptacles A, B, mounted on levers D, D', are supplied in turn with material passing down a tilting shoot C. The lever of the receptacle being filled, for example, the receptacle A rests on a shackle supported by a spring G, the other lever D' being raised clear of the shackle by a power-driven cam L<1>; another power-driven cam P places the receptacle B in the discharging position shown. When the shoot C is tilted by the external power supply, the receptacle B is at the same time brought into the filling position and the receptacle A is placed in the discharge position, the integrating-device K being operated by a rack connected with the spring G, so as to add the weight previously fed into the receptacle A. Instead of discharging the receptacles by tilting, valves may be fitted to the bases of the receptacles and opened by cam-operated levers.

Abstract: 790,911. Finishing yarns. CELANESE CORPORATION OF AMERICA. May 19, 1954 [May 21, 1953], No. 14683/54. Class 120(3) In the production of a voluminous (or bulky) yarn comprising a twisted bundle of continuous filaments which are of the same extended length and have no regular periodic crimp or waviness and having unbroken loops of the individual filaments projecting from the main body of the bundle along the whole length thereof, a continuous filament yarn (of little or no twist) forwarded by a turbulent fluid stream is directed therewith against the surface of solid body to produce a loopy yarn which is then twisted (and, optionally, set, e.g., by steaming) to increase its tenacity and retain the loops. The process of Specification 790,912 may also be applied. The filaments may be of cellulose derivatives, e.g., esters such as acetate, propionate, butyrate, acetate-proprionate, or acetate-butyrate or ethers such as ethyl cellulose, or benzyl cellulose, regenerated cellulose, polyamides, or polyesters. The yarn may comprise a blend of such different materials and, as exemplified, has a denier of 150-4000 and at least 80 filaments each with a coating of anti-static lubricating agent. As shown a driven feed roll 11 delivers yarn 12 from a bobbin 13 through guides 14 and 16 to an air jet 17 (which is described in Specification 790,913 and the emerging yarn (already having a looped form) impinges against a plate 41, mounted at an angle which may vary from 15-75 degrees to the path of the yarn, whereby the uniformity and frequency of loops in the filaments are increased. The yarn is withdrawn by rolls 42 driven at a peripheral speed e.g. 72-137 feet per minute, which is less than the speed e.g. 85-190 feet per minute, of the roll 11, to compensate for the decrease in length effected by the looping operation, and which is regulated (by means not shown) in order to eliminate slack and maintain uniform minimum tension in the yarn. The looped yarn is twisted e.g. to 1, 3, or 4.5 turns per inch, and wound on a down-twister 43. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 732,929.
