Abstract: 1,068,120. Labelling machinery. D. A. CAULFORD, and J. R. PHIN. Dec. 13, 1965 [Oct. 4, 1965], No. 52825/65. Heading B8F. Automatic labelling apparatus comprises (Fig. 1) a magazine 32 for the labels 102 which bear against a transverse plate 104 (Fig. 2) which is adjustably secured for lateral movement to the vertical plate 40. A vacuum bar 112 provided with a flat label-contacting face having a plurality of apertures is vertically disposed and is arranged to rotate outwardly in a vertical plane through an angle of 45 degrees from a position where the flat face contacts the individual label. The label gripping mechanism 136 comprises a drum element 138 rotated on a vertical shaft 140; a plurality of grippers 148, each consisting of a plate 150 adapted to swing from registration with the inwardly inclined clamping edge 152 of the fixed edge 154, are spaced uniformly round the drum element and the plate 150 is secured to the base of a U-shaped member 160. The underside of 160 is attached to a spring 168 the other end of which is secured to the underside of the drum, and this spring biases the plate 150 into registration with the clamping edge 152. A roller 170 is mounted to co-operate with a cam 172 adjustably fixed in relation to the drum element 138. The release of the lable on the drum element 138 is achieved by the co-operation of the roller 170 with another cam (not shown). The label applying mechanism 204 is positioned intermediate of the label gripping mechanism 136 and the conveyer 26 and includes a shaft 206 (Fig. 9) resiliently suspended from the arm 208. A flexible conduit connected to a vacuum pump is connected to the circular plate 214 through a horizontal channel which is connected with the members 286 each of which has a vertically disposed abutment 292 carrying a pad 294 with apertures 296 connected to the vacuum pump. Each member 286 rotates in a circular path wherein it is normally biased outwards to receive a label from the label-gripping apparatus 136, the rotation of which is synchronized so that the release of a label from the gripper 148 corresponds with the arrival of a member 286. After transfer of the label the member 286 rotates through approximately 90 degrees to contact a glue-applying roll 340 and the label is then carried by member 286 to contact a container moving on the conveyer 26.

Abstract: 1,135,399. Rotary-piston I. C. engines. SOC. DE CONSTRUCTION D'EXPLOITATION DE MATERIELS ET MOTEURS. Dec. 14, 1965, No. 53102/65. Heading F1F. In a rotary-piston I. C. engine of the trochoidal n and n + 1 lobe type, an inlet passage or intake 1, Fig. 2, for air or fuel-and-air mixture is controlled by a rotatable shutter 4 that is connected to the power-output shaft T for the piston P by bevel gears 5a, 5b, the driving shaft 6a of an oil, or water, pump 6, a torsion spring 8, and gears 7a 7b, 7c, the gear 7c being freely rotatable relative to the shaft 6a and coupled thereto by said spring. Owing to the torque required to drive the pump, during operation of the engine the gear 7c is displaced angularly relative to the shaft 6a against the action of the spring so that the timing of the shutter with respect to the motion of the piston changes in accordance with changes in the angular velocity of the shaft T to render the charging or filling factor substantially constant. The angular displacement of the gear 7c may be restricted by pins (b 1 , b 2 ), Fig. 10 (not shown), which are attached to the shaft 6a and serve as stops for a pin (21) on said gear. The shutter may be made of P.T.F.E. The torque required to drive the pump 6 may be varied according to the angular velocity of the shaft T by a piston 13a, Fig. 9, lodged within a cylinder 13c forming a part of a by-pass circuit that includes a pipe 12, the piston being biased upwardly by a spring 13b and serving to control a discharge orifice 13d. Either the spring or the piston may be controlled by a diaphragm 19 in a chamber connected to the intake 1 by a pipe or duct 20. The diaphragm may also control a needle in a "jet" 14 in the discharge or delivery pipe 11 of the pump 6.

Abstract: 1442845 Roller conveyers CLARKE CHAPMAN Ltd 7 Nov 1974 [16 Nov 1973] 53177/73 Heading B8A For transferring an ingot 22 from a soaking pit (not shown) to a roller table 40, a chariot which runs on rails 14 is provided with a tilting cradle 20 having stub shafts 52 engageable in twin parallel forks 44 of an escapement device mounted on a hub assembly 46 of the first roller of the table. The cradle 20 is pivotally supported on mountings 18 of a frame 16 which is itself pivotally mounted on pins 17 of the chariot chassis 10. Arcuate beams 30 of the cradle are arranged to engage respective ramps 32, and abutments 36 on the chariot are engageable with buffers 34, In operation, a crane lowers the ingot 22 horizontally on to the cradle and the chariot is traversed towards the table 40 by a traction unit (not shown). Due to the arcuate beams 30 engaging the ramps 32, the cradle 20 tilts, the lower leading side of the ingot engages the hub assembly 46 and the first roller of the table, and a cross beam 26 of the cradle engages an abutment 48 of the assembly 46; also the stub shafts 52 engage the escapement forks 44. Further advance of the chariot causes the beams 30 to clear the ramps 32, and the cradle 20 further turns to the position 62, the ingot now lying on the rollers of the table 40. On reversal of the chariot, the cradle returns to its start position. The escapement device can be omitted. The cradle can receive an ingot in a near upright position instead of in a horizontal position braking for the cradle then being provided. If it is necessary to return the ingot to a re-heat furnace, a trip bar may be provided which ensures that the ingot is turned back to a position 30 degrees from the vertical. The cradle again contacts the ramps 32 so that the ingot completes its return to the horizontal as the chariot retracts.

IPC: B66C13/08
Filed: 1968-11-13
Abstract: 1,245,993. Ships' derricks. A. E. HALLEN. 13 Nov., 1968 [14 Nov., 1967], No. 53897/68. Addition to 1,132,407. Headings B8B and B8H. [Also in Division E2] A derrick, especially for ships, for handling cargo such as a container 23 which during loading and unloading must be prevented from rotating comprises a single load bearing boom 7 which is swung to move the container 23 in the horizontal direction. A rigid beam 15 is articulated to the boom tip and two guide lines 17 extend parallel with the boom 7 between articulated attachments 19 on the beam 15 and articulated attachments 21 on boom support 5. The guide lines 17 may be replaced by a single rod (not shown) on one side of the boom 7. Fig. 5 shows the attachment of the boom 7 to the ship's mast 1. A bracket 61 guides a vertical axis resting on a support 65 on the mast 1. The upper end of the axis 63 forms a joint element 67 supporting a horizontal axis 69. A second joint element 71 is rotatable about the axis 69 and in turn supports an axis 73 perpendicular to the axis 69 and extending through the boom 7. The joint element 67 may be immovably locked to the bracket 61 by a bolt 77 inserted through a bore in the bracket 61 and an ear 75 of the bracket 67, as shown. This arrangement is used for handling containers. If heavier loads than containers are to be lifted and torsional loading of the boom 7 avoided the bolt 77 is removed from the bracket 61 and the joint element 67 and introduced into bores 79 in the joint element 71 and a bore 81 through the lower end of the boom 7. Axis 73 is thus rendered inactive. The guide lines 17 must be loosened in this condition before the boom 7 is swung.  If a container 100, Fig. 6, is unsymmetrically loaded it will assume an oblique position with the centre of gravity CG on the vertical midway between load-supporting blocks 104 (with four lines 106, only two shown). The angle of inclination is given by tan a = (c)/(a). With the arrangement shown in Fig. 7 wherein lines 110 are arranged diagonally between the ends of a rigid bar 112 and lifting points 108 and parallel lines 106 are arranged as shown between the lifting points 108 and the ends of the bar 112 the angle of inclination is given by tan # = (c)/(b). The ratio between the angles # and a as given approximately by tan #/tan a = (a)/(b) and the angle of inclination becomes smaller with increasing distance b.

In this way the accumulation of material, e.g. condensed tars, is prevented through the equipment and the cyclone. As described the fluidized bed 10 leads via duct 15 to cyclone 16 where the entrained abrasive solids are removed and returned to bed 10, the sulphurfree gas venting at 18. Air or other oxygencontaining gas is passed via valve 13a into container 12 and sulphur-contaning fuel injected into the fluidized bed at 14. The sulphur content is removed by lime and the lime is regenerated by continual cycling of the fluidized bed to regenerator 23 which is supplied with air or an oxygencontaining gas to remove the sulphur content as SO 2 . Any particles entrained in the gases emerging from regenerator 23 are removed in cyclone 28. For removing particles from the sulphur-free gas two cyclones may be used for the coarser and finer particles, respectively. The abrasive material may be pulverized fuel ash, ash formed by partial burning of comminuted solid fuel, silica sand or silicon carbide.
