Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus and method of packaging similar-shaped articles
Inventor: ENGLANDER ROBERT ARTHUR
IPC: B65B21/24
Filed: 1963-08-09
Abstract: 999,278. Packaging-machines. DACAM CORPORATION. Aug. 9, 1963, No. 31639/63. Heading B8C. Similar shaped articles, e.g. bottles C, to be wrapped in paperboard carriers made from a flat blank, Fig. 20, are fed on a conveyer to a station 12 where they are divided into two rows the bottles of each row being rotated through 90 degrees in opposite direction as they pass down an incline to a station 16 and on to the carrier blanks which are subsequently erected round the bottles. The bottles are rotated outwardly by means of guide rails, e.g. rails 94, 96, 98, 100 in the case of the bottle row on path 90. Star wheels 110, 112 move the bottles forward and, at the same time, a separating member 170 engages their bases to push the horizontal rows outwards; their necks then protrude through openings 34 in carrier end panels 32 raised by guide rails 172. As the partially completed package is moved by an endless conveyer 176, panels 30 of the carrier are erected by guide rails 174 which engage the protruding bottle necks thereby moving them and the attached carrier upwards. Extensions 202, 204 of guide rails 172 cause the end panels 32 to overlap. A static member 206 relates the tabs of one panel 32 to the apertures in the other. Tabs 272 engage in openings 290, and a freely rotating spoked wheel forces tabs 280 into openings 292, Fig. 6 (not shown). Reciprocating stripper elements 60 detach the blanks singly from a magazine 14. An arrangement of pressure rollers and a conveyer 62 feed the blanks in timed relation with the star wheels 110, 112. The absence of articles or blanks causes the drive to an electric motor 218 to be interrupted. A further switch senses the difference between an absence of articles and the gaps between articles supplied successively. Modifications of the carrier, Figs. 22-24 (not shown), and of, the apparatus, Figs. 28-29 (not shown), enable the machine to package cans.

Title: Improvements in or relating to magnetic amplifiers
IPC: G05B11/01
Filed: 1955-11-08
Abstract: 784,027. Magnetic amplifiers. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Nov. 8, 1955 [Nov. 12, 1954], No. 31879/55. Class 40 (4). In a cascade arrangement in which the first amplifier which comprises control and load windings is supplied with A.C. and includes a rectifier or rectifiers to produce a D.C. output functionally related to the control current, the output is applied to the control winding of the second amplifier via a resistor, and the voltage across the resistance is applied to further windings on the first amplifier as negative feedback. Cores 2, 16, 26, 36 of amplifier MA1, Fig. 3, carry load windings 8, 22, 32, 42, control windings 4, 18, 28, 38, bias windings 6, 20, 30, 40 and feedback windings 10, 24, 34, 44. The amplifiers are self-saturating and during alternate half-cycles of source 176 the control source 46 withdraws the core which was saturated during the previous half-cycle from saturation at a given rate, the flux level being reset to a value determined by the average current in the control winding. Bias and control windings are opposed on cores 2, 16 and aiding on cores 26, 36, when terminal 48 is positive and vice versa when terminal 50 is positive. The output voltage, namely the difference between the voltages across load resistors 70 and 64 is applied to control windings 100, 110, 126, 136 of amplifier MA2 through resistor 90, and the voltage across resistor 90 is applied through the network comprising resistors 52, 56, 58 and condenser 54 to the feedback windings 10, 24, 34, 44. The feedback current, due to the manner of connection, flows also through the control windings and response and stability are stated to be enhanced. In the amplifier MA2 bias and control windings are opposed on cores 98, 108 and aiding on cores 124, 134 when terminal 69 of amplifier MA1 is positive and vice-versa when it is negative. Capacitor 60 smooths the output of the first amplifier. The load windings 104, 114, 130, 140 are fed by source 176 through rectifiers and each has a primary of output transformer 160 connected in series. The flux produced by the windings is in opposition to that produced by their respective bias windings. A harmonic suppressing filter 162, 166 is included in the output circuit and feedback windings 106, 116, 132, 142 are energized through a phase-shifting network so that the voltage applied is 180 degrees out of phase with source 176. In the servomotor system shown the output of MA2 is connected to the variable phase winding 170 of motor 174 and is 90 degrees out of phase with the supply to the fixed phase winding. 180 degrees reversals of the output thus reverse the direction of rotation.
