Labels 2 are separately placed between the feed-rollers 3, 4, and are carried by the gumming-disk 5 to a lifter 8, which directs them to an endless - band conveyer 11. The tins 18 are placed on a spoked conveyer 14 from which they pass to the conveyer 11, and pick up the front end of a label while its rear end is still on the pasting-roller whereby the label is kept taut, and then roll on to the delivery table 19. An elastic endless band 20 is used to press the label firmly on the tin as it rolls down the table 19. In a modification, an inclined trough is used to feed the tins to the label conveyer. The ends of the delivery and feed channels or tables are near each other, so that one attendant only is required to put the tins in the machine and take the labelled tins out. Instead of the label-conveyer band, one or more rollers may be used, or a series of rotary disks or segments may be employed.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 7061. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. April 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Alternating - current commutator machines. - The frequency and voltage of selfexcited commutator generators are varied independently by providing each field-magnet pole with two windings which are excited by voltages displaced in phase, for example by 90 degrees; by regulating the current flowing through one of the field-magnet windings, the voltage only is altered. and, by regulating in the circuit of the second winding, only the frequency is changed. Fig. 1 shows a two-phase machine which is provided in the axis 1 with the windings w1, w2, the winding w1 being connected across the brushes b1, c1 through a rheostat R<1>1 and the winding w2 across the brushes b2, c2 through a rheostat R<1>2. The windings w<2>1 and w<2>2 situated in the axis 2 are connected up in a similar manner. Variation of the resistances R<1>2, R<2>1 affects the frequency, the voltage being controlled by adjusting the resistances R\, R<2>2. Fig. 3 shows the connexions of a three-phase machine, one of the exciting windings in each axis being excited by the phase voltage and the other winding by the line voltage of the two other brushes. In place of regulating-resistances, the windings may be connected to the brushes through variable-ratio transformers. The voltage drop in the windings of the machine when under load may be compensated for by compound windings &c. Singlephase machines may be regulated in a similar manner. The above-described machines may be used as starters for motors without commutators, or as exciters for such starters.
