Title: Improvements relating to agricultural tractors and the like
IPC: B62D49/06
Filed: 1946-01-05
Abstract: 605,814. Endless track vehicles. NUFFIELD MECHANIZATIONS, Ltd., MERRITT, H. E., and CULPIN, C. Jan. 5, 1946, No. 466. [Classes 79 (i) and 79 (iv)] A half-track attachment for agricultural tractors and the like, comprises a track-driving sprocket mounted on the tractor-driving axle and out of engagement with the ground-engaging portion of the track, and a pair of bogie wheels which are supported by a beam pivotally mounted to the tractor on an axis spaced apart from and parallel to the driving axle and located in or substantially in a plane bisecting the angle contained by the endless track lying on the ground and that extending between the sprocket and rear bogie wheel. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, each half-track attachment comprises a driving sprocket 10, a pair of bogie wheels 7, 8 and an endless track 9 which according to the Provisional Specification may be of the girder type. The sprocket is secured to the tractor half-shaft by bolts 24 and is adapted to be axially slidable thereon for adjusting the vehicle track. The sprocket centre lies on the apex of a triangle, the lower angles of which position the centres of the bogie wheels 7, 8. The latter are journalled on to a box-section beam 6, to the centre of which is secured a yoke 12 which is pivotally connected by a pin 13 to a bracket 14, said bracket being in turn bolted to the flanges 16 of the tractoraxle casing 17, and has lateral adjustment in conformity with the sprocket wheel adjustment for varying the vehicle track. The bracket 14 is provided with rubber buffers 22 which may engage stops 21 located on the beam 6. The position of the pin 13 is such that its centre lies in a plane 19 which bisects the angle contained by the endless track lying on the ground and that extending between the sprocket and the rear bogie wheel 8. The line of action of the resultant thrust passes through the pivot axis 13 and consequently the pressure distribution between the endless track 9 and the ground is unaffected by the magnitude of the pull in the track. Also the tractive effort does not tend to tilt the half-track attachments. An idler wheel 20 is journalled in a bracket 20A is fixed to the beam 6. Means are provided for tensioning the endless track by adjustment to the front wheel bogie. This is effected by rocking the bogie wheel 7 about a pin 40 journalled in the beam 6 which is offset from the wheel axle 25. The wheel is locked in position by means of a bolt passing through aligned holes in brackets 26, 30. In a modification, Fig. 5, the beam 6 carries a pair of cranked brackets 31, pivoted thereto by pins 32. The brackets comprise a pair of arms 33, 34 to the ends of which are respectively journalled the bogies 7, 8 and idler wheels 35, the pivot pin 13 lying in the plane which bisects the angle contained by the endless track lying on the ground and that portion extending between the sprocket and rear bogie wheel.

Title: Improvements in letter sorting machines
Inventor: OSBORN HOWARD
IPC: B07C3/06
Filed: 1959-07-06
Abstract: 918,134. Letter sorting machines. THRISSELL ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Oct. 5, 1960 [July 6, 1959], No. 529/59. Class 78 (1). A letter sorting machine of the kind described in Specification 918,135, comprises two units of boxes 1, 2, and associated conveyers and diverters for diverting letters into the boxes arranged on respective sides of the machine frame (Fig. 11).Various arrangements are described in the Specification for diverting letters from a single feed to one other of the units 1, 2, according to the code carried by the letter in question. As shown in Fig. 11, letters are delivered into a horizontal pile at 50 by means of an inclined endless conveyer (Fig. 9, not shown), and are lifted by a suction head 53 so as to place them successively on a surface 54. Each letter is then transferred by rollers 55 to pass beneath a source 57 of ultra-violet light so that a code on the letter may be read by a scanner 58. According to the code, the letter is either arrested by a stop 61 projected by a rotary solenoid 63, or is carried by rollers 59 to engage a stop 60. Pushers (Fig. 10, not shown) then operate to displace the letter in a direction at right angles to the plane of Fig. 11 so as to engage it in one or other of the roller conveyers respective to the units 1 and 2. In an alternative arrangement for diverting the letters laterally in order to line them up with the conveyers of the units 1 or 2 according to the particular code of the letter, rotating rubber faced sectors 3, 5 (Fig. 7) engage the letter L in conjunction with a roller 36. In a further arrangement (Fig. 8), the letter is gripped between rollers 136 and rubber-faced sectors 135 so that they are passed from a centre line WX through a roller conveyer 41, 42, to a centre line YZ, their movement being braked by the action of a sector 43 and cooperating roller 44. In a further arrangement (Fig. 5, not shown), letters being fed by a single roller conveyer are diverted to pass to one or other of two diverging roller conveyers by the action of an oscillating member, the movement of which depends on the letter code. Each of the latter mentioned roller conveyers passes the letter to a respective endless conveyer which is arranged to grip the letter and turn it through 90 degrees. Instead of the letters commencing as a single feeding source there may be two separate sources each in line with, and respective to, the units 1, 2 (Figs. 12 and 13, not shown). The letters are diverted from the conveyers in the units 1, 2, into the boxes 5 (Fig. 1) determined by the code, by diverters 4. The latter are operated by levers 7 actuated by a respective rotary solenoid 6 and acting on a lever 8 against the action of a return spring 9. Specifications 849,421, 854,543 and 909,472 also are referred to.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of cigarettes
IPC: A24C5/343
Filed: 1932-01-12
Abstract: 388,541. Cigarette-making machines. MOLINS, D. W., Longwood, Hurst Road, Bexley, Kent. Jan. 12, 1932, No. 903. [Class 130.] The tobacco feed in a cigarettemaking machine is controlled by means of one or more pairs of fingers for feeling or pressing opposite points such as the ends of individual cigarettes, one finger of each pair being movable towards the other and its movement serving to alter the setting of the control mechanism. The feelers are similar to those described in Specification 386,417 and comprise studs 12 on discs 11 and studs 13 on spring-controlled arms 14. When a stud 13 engages a soft-ended cigarette, the arm 14 travels on the inside of a cam 15 and encounters a roller 17 on a lever 18 pivoted at 19 on the machine frame. A pawl 20 on the lever 18 engages a ratchet 22 on a bar 23 pivotally connected to uprights 27, 28 pivoted on the machine frame and controlled by a spring 49, the bar 23 being normally locked by a clamping member 47 engaging an extension 44 of the bar. The bar 23 controls the tobacco feed by means of an arm 38 on a shaft 33, another arm 32 on which is provided with an adjustable pin 34 engaging the channel-shaped end 31 of the bar 23, and a spring 42 tends to swing the arm 38 in a clockwise direction. A cross-piece on the upper end of the arm 38 has arcuate portions 39, 40, 41 of different radii and lies in the path of a feeling device 50 on a pivoted arm 51, which is periodically raised and allowed to fall by a link 53 connected to a crank on a shaft controlling automatically the setting of the tobacco feed mechanism ; the setting is only adjusted when a number of soft-ended cigarettes have been dealt with causing sufficient movement of the rod 23 to move either of the surfaces 39, 40 clear of the feeler 50. After an adjustment of the feed mechanism, the pawls 20 and the clamping member 47 are released, to allow the spring 49 to return the bar 23, by a rod 61, which is pivotally connected to an arm 60 on a shaft 59 ; a crank 58 on the shaft 59 carries a swivelling arm 57 connected to a pin 56 mounted on the link 53. The rod 61 engages the pawls by means of projections 61<1>, and the end of the rod engages an arm 64 on the clamping member 47. In a modification, three paths are provided for the arms 14, two on the outer faces of a pair of cams such as 15 and a third path between the cams, so that cigarettes whose ends are empty are rejected, and those whose ends are soft regulate the tobacco feed, the third path corresponding to normal cigarettes. The Provisional Specification describes a form in which the movable feelers cause the partial rotation of a toothed wheel fixed to a threaded spindle which moves a lever connected electrically or mechanically to a device for varying the rate at which the tobacco is fed.
