Title: Improvements in actuating apparatus for punching, pressing and like machine tools
Inventor: WALES GEORGE FREDERICK
IPC: B30B1/26
Filed: 1950-08-16
Abstract: 674,404. Punching; stamping. WALESSTRIPPIT CORPORATION. Aug. 16, 1950, No. 20315/50. Class 83 (iv). In a punching, pressing or like machine-tool improved mechanism is provided for effecting a single oscillation of a working tool from a constantly - rotating shaft. An eccentric constantly reciprocates an idle ram 26 with serrated bottom 27 and slidable within a working ram 35 with serrated interior 37. A pin 30 on the idle ram engages a hole 40 in the ram 35. The two rams work in a casing 31 mounted as a self-contained unit on the goose-neck of the machine. A spring- urged pin 45 guided in the casing 31 passes through a cam slot 38 in the ram 35 and may enter a hole 41 therein. When the pin 45 engages the hole 41 the ram 36 is held stationary with the serrations of the rams in sliding contact. To actuate the tool on the working ram 35 the pin 45 is manually withdrawn from the hole 41 but retained in the cam slot 38. The ram 35 is released and drops by gravity and is rotated by the pin 45 until the serrations are out of alignment. The downward movement of the ram 26 then actuates the tool. On the upstroke of the ram 26 the pin 30 engages the top of the opening 40 and lifts the ram 35, the pin 40 rotating the ram 35 until the serrations are in alignment. At the top of the stroke the pin 45 engages the hole 41 to hold the working ram inoperative. In modifications to prevent wear on the serrations a two-armed lever on the working plunger is associated with the pin 45 to ensure complete engagement of the serrations for the working stroke. U.S.A. Specification 2,364,011 is referred to.

Title: Label applying machine
IPC: B65C9/18
Filed: 1970-04-28
Abstract: 1,267,627. Labelling machines. NEW JERSEY MACHINE CORP. 28 April, 1970 [5 May, 1969], No. 20438/70. Heading B8F. In a labelling machine a label web 18 is fed from a spool 17, between a drive roll 40 and a free roll 27, along superposed paths, and between the drive roll 40 and a free roll 80 to a cutting station, the drive roll feeding the web 18 from the spool 17 and to the cutting station, where each successive end label 18<SP>1</SP> is severed from the web. A scanner 75, actuated by coded information on each label piece, e.g. a hole, print, through a solenoid 96 causes the free roll 80 to move away from the drive roll 40, against a spring 93, stopping the web travel with the end label 18<SP>1</SP> in position for cutting and with a label piece in position at 70 for printing. As the web 18 past roll pair 40, 27 has stopped, and with a lever 59, 62, 64 actuating a mieroswiteh 57 causing a solenoid 54 to be energized, roll 27 abuts roll 40 providing feed from the spool 17, which decreases tension at the lever arm 59. A spring 65 acts on the lever 59, 62, 64 to open the microswitch 57, de-energizing solenoid 54 and causing roll 27 to move away from roll 40 stopping the spool feed. Upon restart of web drive at roll pair 40, 80, resulting increase in tension at lever arm 59 causes roll pair 40, 27 to resume their drive. The free rolls 27, 80 can be moved manually away from the drive roll 40 by levers 50, 94 with eccentries 52, 95 for initially feeding through the label web 18. Each end label 18<SP>1</SP> is severed by a tapered cutter 101 depressed by a label carrier 85. During cutting, vacuum is formed in a chamber 135 in a table 110 which holds the severed label 18<SP>1</SP>; this table with a second cutter is moved upward by the depression of cutter 101 and a shaft 105 acting on a lever 117, 115, so that the label 18<SP>1</SP> contacts the label carrier 85. Vacuum is transferred to the carrier 85 by a cam-operated valve, and the carrier, with the label 18<SP>1</SP>, rises, moves horizontally to a position above a manually positioned article to be labelled, and lowers on to the article. A heater associated with the carrier 85 activates a thermoplastic adhesive layer on the label 18<SP>1</SP>. The carrier 85 rises and moves horizontally to its original position above knife 101 simultaneously with a pressure pad lowering on to the label 18<SP>1</SP> and article to affix the label. The motions of the carrier 85, with its associated slides, and the pressure pad, are controlled by cams on a single cam-shaft.

Title: Improvements in folding box
IPC: B65D5/36
Filed: 1943-12-07
Abstract: 585,810. One-piece folding boxes. LEVKOFF, D. Dec. 7, 1943, No. 20444. [Class 18] A one-piece folding box, e.g., for tomatoes or apples, is assembled into folded form by folding panel 13 of the blank shown in Fig. 1 downwardly along score line 10, after which the glue sides of flaps 14, 18 are secured to the upper face of the bottom 13 and ends 17. The box may be erected from the collapsed position by pulling the ends 16 upwardly from the bottom 13 to cause walls 17 to hinge on score lines 12, this movement causing triangular webs 22 to fold in diagonal scores 21 and side walls 20 to swing upwardly until perpendicular to the base 13. Locking flaps 23 may then be folded inwardly about score lines 15 to lie against the folded webs 32, the edges of flaps 23 engaging frictionally the walls 20, and flaps 24 lying flat on the bottom. The container may now be filled, and display flaps 26 may be folded inwardly and the box wrapped in transparent cellulosic material and sealed. In a modification, a cover replaces one flap 26 and the other is omitted to expose the pocket in the end wall, so that it may engage a free flap on the end of the cover. Alternatively, both flaps 26 are omitted and a lid with a free flap at each end employed. Side flanges may be formed on the lid or on the body. In a further form shown in Fig. 8, the blank shown is first folded on lines 44, 48 and then has its sections 51 folded inwardly so that they overlap, and may be secured by glue 55. To erect the box from the folded position sections 51 are pulled outwardly to cause walls 41, 43 to hinge upwardly, and web sections 45, 47 to superpose and lie against the inner sides of walls 41. The lapped and glued sections 51 may then be folded inwards on to the webs 45 with sections 53 lying on the bottom. After filling, flaps 57 are folded inwards and the box wrapped as before.

Title: Beverage flavors and process for their production
IPC: A23L27/24
Filed: 1959-06-15
Abstract: A beverage flavour resembling in flavour and aroma chocolate, coffee, tea and the like, is produced by heating in a vessel a hydrous mixture of a yeast and a saccharide to achieve rapidly an elevated temperature of at least 350 DEG  F., enclosing the gaseous constituents developed to maintain the hydrous condition, maintaining the conditions for a holding period sufficient to develop flavour and, upon development, rapidly reducing the temperature of the reaction liquor to a temperature at which flavour development is arrested.  The flavour employed either alone or in combination with other flavour and aroma constituents, such as astringency and bitterness factors, has an aroma and taste suitable for beverages, food products, icings, confections and candy.  The term "saccharide" is defined as a reducing sugar or saccharide capable of reducing Fehling's solution to give cuprous oxide, or any saccharide and other material which provides a reducing saccharide under the conditions of reaction; many specific examples are given.  The reaction mixture may include a suitable amount of calcium carbonate or other buffering agent (specified), so that the flavour solution shall have a pH within the preferred range of 4.5 to 5.2, whereby curdling of cream to which it may be added, is avoided.  According to an example, 180 g. dried brewers' yeast, 100 g. corn syrup solids and 500 ml. water were thoroughly mixed and then placed in a 2-litre reaction autoclave.  The reaction mixture was brought to the atmospheric boiling point, the autoclave was then sealed, and the reactants were heated with continuous agitation to 350 DEG  F. in 25 minutes and to 402 DEG  F. in an additional 5 minutes; this was followed by immediate quenching to 150 DEG  F. within 5 minutes and reduction to room temperature in a total time of 14 minutes.  The reaction liquor was filtered, and the filtrate was diluted to form an aqueous solution of 2% solids concentration.  In other examples there were reacted compositions containing: wheat bran, dried brewers' yeast and corn syrup solids; dried brewers' yeast and gum tragacanth, yeast nucleic acid or glucuronic acid, and in a further example a small proportion of vanillin was included in the composition. Specification 925,071 is referred to.

Title: Radio fire control device for ordnance, artillery and the like
IPC: G01S13/68
Filed: 1944-10-26
Abstract: 602,317. Radiolocation. ROST, H. F., THUNELL, K. H., VIGREN, S. D., and CLACSSON, P. H. E.' Oct. 26, 1944, No. 20864. Addition to 555,052. [Class 40 (vii)] In a radiolocation system for locating and following objects, similar to that described in the parent Specification, in which when a target is located an electromagnetic relay operates to terminate automatic searching over a sector of space, the relay connects up a manual control for the driving means so that the target may be followed by an operator with the aid of visual indicators. In the system shown, the transmitting and receiving reflectors 1, 2 are driven together by azimuth and elevation motors 6, 7 which in turn drive motors 11, 12 of a scanning-control device. This (illustrated in greater detail in Fig. 2, not shown) comprises a hemispherical dome 41 of transparent non-conducting material containing a mounting rotated about a vertical axis by motor 11 and carrying a contact arm 45 moving between adjustable contacts 46, 47. The mounting also carries a contact arm 42 rotated at a relatively-slow rate about a horizontal axis by motor 12 and moving between adjustable contacts 49, 50. Contacts 46, 47 are connected to differential windings of a relay B, Figs. 1A, 1B, constituting a reversing switch for motor 6, and similarly contacts 49, 50 are connected to differential windings of a relay C constituting a reversing switch for motor 7. By these means, the transmitting and receiving reflectors 1, 2 are caused automatically to execute to-and-fro movements so as to scan a given area in. azimuth and elevation. The direction of maximum reception of the receiving system 2 is varied by means of a rotating disc 3 driven by a motor 13 and having an eccentric aperture 4. Motor 13 also drives a commutator system 14 ... 18, similar to that in the parent Specification, connecting the output of receiving amplifier 5 in succession to pairs of condensers 73, 74. Thus each pair of condensers is fed with energy received from two opposite directions in a common plane and the direct-current outputs vary in polarity in accordance with the direction in which the target lies. These outputs are fed to zero-centre indicators 24, 25 and to the windings of a relay E. When relay E operates on the , location of a target, it energizes relay D which switches over the control of motors 6, 7 to manually-controlled potentiometers 29, 31, and the target is followed manually by observation of indicators 24, 25. The output of amplifier 5 is also fed to a beatfrequency measuring device 40 to give a range indication and to a lamp 43 on the contact arm 42 to give a rough indication of direction. The effect of reflections from known fixed objects may be eliminated by the provision of adjustable masking contacts 61 on the dome 41 connected to a relay A which is operated in corresponding positions of contact arm 42 to short-circuit the windings of relay E.
