Title: Improvements in or relating to typographical composing machines
IPC: B41B11/00
Filed: 1931-02-02
Abstract: 367,153. Type-bar-making machines. HART, H., 9, Kingsway, London.-(Mergenthaler Linotype Co.; 29, Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.) Feb. 2, 1931, No. 3275. [Class 100 (iii).] Keyboards; matrices.-In machines adapted for composing in languages, such as Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Turkish, which have a large number of characters, and in which vowels or vowel points are placed over or under the consonants, the keys are divided into groups or sets, in one of which the keys bear, as. indicating-characters, a consonant only, whereas, in the remaining groups, each key bears a consonant together with a vowel. The same series of consonants is employed,in all the groups, but the vowels are different in the various groups, although the same vowel is used for all the members of any one group. The matrices are divided into corresponding groups.. In an arrangement suitable for composing in Hebrew, an ordinary, keyboard of ninety keys is combined with a .supplementary keyboard of thirty-six keys, and the keys are divided into four groups, which are preferably differently coloured. Each matrix bears two superposed characters, either of which can be brought into use by means of the usual duplex rail. Each key bears two indications corresponding to the two characters on the matrix, and also a third indication in the form of an English character, to enable the machine to be used for two languages. In one group of keys, the centre indication on each key refers to a consonant only, and in the other groups, a consonant associated with a vowel. The upper indications on all of the keys are vowels, and, when the duplex rail is in use, matrix characters are positioned which bear these vowels in association with the consonants. Each consonant can therefore 'be composed alone or with any one of seven vowels, whereby the greater number of the Hebrew characters can be formed.. Additional characters may be assembled,from a pi-receptacle.

Abstract: 1,170,704. Packaging-machines. BILLERUDS A.B. 23 Jan., 1968, No. 3630/68. Heading B8C. A machine for packaging a group of articles, e.g. cans, in a bag has a magazine with shelves for holding the articles, and means for pushing the articles simultaneously from the magazine into the bag. The bag is received on a table which swings in a vertical plane after the bag has been filled, and a device is also provided for opening and supporting the bag by gripping the bag walls and inserting guide plates. Cans 5 are discharged from an elevator, Fig. 1 (not shown), into grooves 6, Figs. 2 and 3, arranged one above the other and inclined to the horizontal. The cams roll down into the magazine 40 and rest on shelves 41. When the leading cans strike an abutment 44, Fig. 3, clamping-pistons 80 are actuated and grip those cans in the lowest positions in the grooves 6. An hydraulic device 39 is now actuated to move the magazine a short distance away from the inlet grooves to a position where a reciprocating device 45, Fig. 4, can push the cans from the magazine by means of rods 46. A bag has previously been positioned with the opening ends of its walls held respectively between plate 54 and piston 55, and between plate 58 and piston 59. Initially, the parts 58, 59 are adjacent the parts 54, 55 as shown in broken lines in Fig. 4, and then a piston 62 is retracted, pulling the parts 58, 59 downwards to the position shown in Fig. 4 in solid lines, and so opening the bag. Air from a jet (85), Fig. 9 (not shown), may be directed into the bag to facilitate its opening. As the cans are expelled from the magazine into the bag, flaps 77, Fig. 3, are swung open by the cans and move outwardly against the side walls of the bag, forming a guide for the insertion of the cans. The bag is supported by a flap 73, Fig. 2, and rests on a table 65, Fig. 4, which has two perpendicular parts 68, 69. When the bag has been filled, the table swings down about an axis 64, so that the bag is now resting on its bottom portion on the table part 69, which has an aperture 71, Fig. 3, through which driven rollers (72), Fig. 1 (not shown), protrude to move the bag away to a closing and sealing station (not detailed).
