Title: Improvements in apparatus for applying closures to containers
IPC: B67B3/14
Filed: 1947-08-13
Abstract: 651,335. Bottling. CROWN CORK & SEAL CO., Inc. Aug. 13, 1947, No. 22536. Convention date, Jan. 24. [Class 125(ii)] In an apparatus for applying closure caps of the type shown in Specification 637,745 to containers, a stack of caps contained in a magazine 50 is supported and the lowermost closure detached and conveyed into position beneath a throat chamber 44 by means of a slide 78 which is reciprocated in a slideway formed in a platform 68, as the result of the intermittent relative approach of a capping head and successive containers. If the apparatus is assured to be in the rest position, as shown, with the bottom cap of the stack resting on slide surfaces 80, 81 and another cap, supported by ledges 96, 97, below the throat chamber, then a bottle elevated through an aperture 69 will engage the cap lifting it against a presser foot 116 so that the cap flange is above stops 99, 100. As the eleva-  tion of the bottle continues bell-crank levers 54, 55 are swung clockwise thus retracting the slide. The presser foot 116 does not move relative to the throat carrier 34 at this time because a spring 115 is sufficiently heavier than a spring 42 so that the latter alone will yield: however, when the base block 43 strikes a sleeve 26, the rise of the throat carrier 34 will stop and the spring 115 permits the presser foot 116 to rise and the capping operation is normally completed when a presser foot carrier 113 strikes a shoulder 47. As the slide is retracted, blades 92, 93, formed on extensions 87, 88 thereof, detach the bottom cap of the stack by a wedging action, the cap being deflected by blade inclines as at 90 on to the ledges and centred thereon by wall 87<SP>1</SP> and the stops 99 and 100 and the support of the stack being taken over by the blades 92, 93 After the capped bottle is lowered, the throat carrier is lowered by the spring 42 and the slide advances to carry the separated cap beneath the throat.

Abstract: 809,998. Stirring appliances. CHARPENTIER, R. P. July 18, 1957 [Aug. 2, 1956], No. 22773/57. Class 86 An appliance for mixing liquid or viscous substances comprises a motor-driven shaft, carrying an impeller adjacent to a restricted throat. The motor 1, mounted on a member 2 having handles P, drives a sleeve 12 with a squared or hexagonal bore by means of which a nut 5 on the end of the shaft 4 is positively driven. The shaft 4, also supported in a lower bearing 9, is held in position by a framework consisting of four threaded rods 8 and carries an impeller 7 at its lower end adjacent to a restricted throat member 10. The impeller comprises six curved blades extending radially from a hub, B, Fig. 2, three alternate ones of which carry upwardly inclined vanes a, to assist in drawing the liquid downwards, and orifices b which allow part of the liquid to pass through and so assist the mixing. Wedge-shaped bars d also join adjacent blades in pairs and further assist in mixing. A perforated tube 16 surrounds the spindle 4 and has a funnel-shaped upper end through which extra substances may be added to the mixture and selected portions of the tube may be blanked off by detachable, circular baffles 15.

An electro-pneumatic transducer comprises a housing defining a feed-back chamber 18 within which is located an electromagnetic armature and coil device 21-25 responsive to a D. C. current signal to position a baffle member 28 with respect to a nozzle 29 of a diaphragm relay valve assembly 37 which includes a signal pressure chamber 38, supply and exhaust valves 48, 49 and a diaphragm actuating chamber 51, the signal pressure chamber 38 being connected by a passage 55 to the feedback chamber within which is located pressure responsive means mechanically connected to the baffle. The electromagnetic device comprises a cup-shaped stator 21 having a permanent magnet core 22 embraced by a cylindrical member 25 carrying the signal receiving coil 23 and attached to the baffle member 28. A viscous liquid 27a in a recess 27 provides damping. In operation, the coil 23 receives a D.C. input signal and moves the baffle 28 to change the pressure in the relay valve chamber 51. The resulting movement of the diaphragm assembly 39, 40 causes the signal chamber 38 to be connected either to supply via the valve 48 or to exhaust via the valve 49 so that the pressure in the chamber 38 follows the input signal. The pressure in the chamber 38 is transmitted via the line 56 to indicating and/or controlling apparatus and to the feed-back chamber 18 to act on a set point bellows 30 movement of which is transmitted to the baffle 28 via a spring member 31 and an adjustable spacer 33.

Abstract: 362,844. Paper pulp beating-engines. KUHN, A. D. J., Bad Liebenwerda, Eisenmoorbad, Saxony, Germany. Aug. 5, 1930, No. 23404. [Class 96.] A paper-pulp beating engine for unsorted old paper, scrap paper, half-stuff, &c. comprises a roll 3, Figs. 1, 13, and 21, a large part of which is surrounded with perforated plates 6, 10, Fig. 1, and 43, Fig. 13, which may be stationary, Fig. 1, rotated, Fig. 13, or shaken and through which part of the pulp is flung by centrifugal force due to the roll 3, the pulp being thereby thickened and being automatically cleared and conveyed to a box whilst another part of the pulp is flung through other perforated plates 4, Fig. 1, and again circulated through a channel 5 to the beater roll. The roll blades 30, Fig. 21, are toothed in different directions and the shaft 22 protected from excessive friction due to laces of wire, twine, &c. winding round it by a sleeve 21, Fig. 8, on a gland member 20 in a resilient plate 21a which allows the shaft to move when the roll contacts with a large piece of material. Pulp passing through the plate 6, Fig. 1, is removed therefrom by a scraper 8 which passes it over a suction box to a shoot and container which also receives pulp from an outlet 11 supplied from the plate 10. Large foreign bodies are removed from the trough by coacting rakes 12, Fig. 17. Circulation in the trough is aided by a rotating wheel or rake. Part of the floor of the trough is deepened and partitioned forming a trap 15, Fig. 17, an incline directing heavy matter into a well 17 containing a series of pans &c. removable by a cord &c. The unsorted paper &c. is thrown into the trough 1 which contains water, is immediately dipped by a rotating drum 2 and passes to the roll 3. The plate 6, suction box, and scraper 8 may be replaced by an endless perforated sieve or by a scraper 8 and a dehydrating press. In an alternative form the plates 6, 10 are replaced by a horizontal rotating perforated disc the pulp passing under radial rollers and being removed by a radial worm conveyer, whilst the plate 4 is shaken by a cam. The rotating perforated drums 43, Fig. 13, which replace the plates 6, 10 are parallel or at right-angles to the roll 3, the pulp being dehydrated by a roll 44 in the end of each drum 43 the extracted water passing back to the trough ; the pulp thrown through the plate 4 passes through a conduit 38 to a circulating trough 39 in which is a part 3a. of the roll, or a separate roll &c. In a further modification the tub comprises three channels, a perforated cover above the roll 3 by shaking dehydrates and passes the pulp to a worm conveyer, whilst pulp passing through the plate 4 reaches a conduit wherein are rakes and a pulp circulating wheel followed by two or more bladed rolls which throw the pulp against perforated covers from which it passes by a trough.

Abstract: 872,702. Thermal switches; rotary switches. RANCO Inc. July 9, 1959 [July 17, 1958], No. 23598/59. Class 38 (5). A rotary switch having cam-operated spring contact blades is provided with a hollow rotary shaft through which a coaxial operating member for an optional thermostat can be placed. The switch blades 42, 43 carry contacts, each engaging one of two fixed contacts and are displaced by a cam 44 having suitable operating portions. The shaft 45 extends through the front plate 57 of the switch and carries a knob 65.
