Title: Improvements in or relating to seaming machines
IPC: B65B7/14
Filed: 1952-12-11
Abstract: 741,081. Seaming. DESIGNS & INSTALLATIONS, Ltd., and WYNNICK, A. G. Dec. 30, 1953 [Dec. 11, 1952], No. 31376/52. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XVII] A seaming machine comprises a pair of relatively movable seaming jaws which interengage in the vicinity of a slot in a guide member for receiving the open end of a container to be closed and sealed or the ends of a metallic strip material to be united, and is controlled by a rotary disc carrying one or more groups of pins or rollers, the arrangement being such that one of the pins or rollers of a group initially engages with the open end of the container or the ends of the strip material projecting through the slot to bend said end or ends whereupon, on further rotation of the disc the pins or rollers of the same group respectively engage with the jaws to displace these for crimping the bent end or ends. In an embodiment for seaming the open end of a collapsible tube the machine comprises front and rear walls 10 and 11 and a hood 12 within which are located adjustable pivoted jaws 13 and 14 which have tube engaging faces 17 and 19 and cam tracks 18 and 20 respectively. The jaws are spring-loaded apart above a slot 23 in a tapered guide 21. A rotary disc 24 carries a pair of outer rollers 25, 26 for operating the jaw 13 and a pair of inner rollers 27, 28 for operating the jaw 14. Alternatively the disc may be replaced by a pair of discs rotating in unison, one carrying the inner rollers and the other the outer rollers. In operation, during rotation of the disc the pin of an outer roller first engages the edges of the collapsible tube projecting through the slot and bends said edges through more than 90 degrees after which both rollers of the same group operate the jaws for clinching the bent portion. The collapsible tube is carried and fed inverted by a holder 32 displaceable along a vertical guide 33 on the front wall 10 of the machine housing. The holder is supported by a carriage 34 having rollers 45 engaging the guide 33 which at its lower end has a recess 36 for angularly displacing the carriage to facilitate the placing of a tube in and its removal from, the holder 32. Displacement of the carriage is controlled by a cam 35 rotatable with the disc 24, said cam being engaged by a roller 46 on a pivoted lever 37 connected through link mechanism to a slide 43 attached to the carriage. On the feeding stroke the opposite side walls of the tube are brought together by the tapered guide 21 and the edges projected through the slot 23. After the edges have been bent the tube is raised a slight extent, e.g. #-inch, prior to the crimping operation. If it is desired to form a double fold the cam 35 is shaped so that the tube is further raised to bring the already folded end into the path of the outer pin 30 of a second group of rollers whereupon the operation is repeated. The edges may be slightly crimped before the bending operation by providing additional rollers on the disc. The jaws may be engraved for providing the seamed article with identification and dating marks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to wireless systems employing pulses
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1937-11-16
Abstract: 507,754. Location by reflection of electromagnetic waves. PERCIVAL, W. S. Nov. 16, 1937, No. 31495. Drawings to Specification. [Class 37] [Also in Group XL] The location of an object, e.g. an aeroplane, which reflects pulses of electromagnetic radiation is obtained by determining the direction of the reflected pulses at a main receiver connected to a directional aerial. The directivity of the receiver system is sharpened by means of an auxiliary receiver connected to an aerial responsive to all directions except those making a small angle with the directive axis of the main aerial, the gain of the main receiver being automatically reduced during the reception of pulses by the auxiliary receiver. This reduction in gain is effected by the means and circuits described in Specifications 467,263 and 468,994, [both in Group XL]. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that obstacles at sea may be located by applying short pulses to the water and observing the direction of the reflected pulses.
