Title: Improvements relating to sealable packages
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 1966-07-13
Abstract: 1,099,067. Package. W. S. SCHNEIDER and A. P. CORELLA. July 13, 1966, No, 31497/66. Heading B8C. A package comprises a pair of overlying outer walls of thin flexible sheet material heatsealable on their inner surfaces and joined together to define a product-holding space, and includes a fold extending across the productholding space, the fold being thermally formed and set but capable of being straightened by applying transverse tension forces at opposite sides to open the side of the space. In one embodiment, a two-compartment package, particularly for inter-reactive products which are mixed within the package before use, is formed by joining along three margins two webs 10, 11 heat-sealable on one side only; a short marginal seal 18, Fig. 2, is arranged centrally of the fourth margin. The container thus formed is folded along transverse fold lines 20, 22 bisecting the seal 18 so that two compartments are formed. Application of heat and/or pressure at 20 sets the folds. The compartments are now filled and the seal 18 extended to close finally the package. To prevent the inner faces of walls 10, 11 from sealing together over a portion of the folded area, to enable communication readily to be established between the compartments, a patch 25, heat-sealable on one side only is placed between the package walls across fold line 20. Alternatively, an equivalent area of one wall may be painted with a suitable liquid to render it non heat-sealable. In order to interconnect the compartments, force is applied in the directions 28, whereupon unfolding at 20, 22 is caused. In an alternative embodiment, the webs may form an open-sided tube which is then folded transversely as above described, and the compartments formed filled through the open ends. A double web may replace the separate webs. The fold arrangement may also serve as a closure for a package of one compartment only, Fig. 9 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the transfer and setting-up of collapsed cartons
IPC: B31B5/78
Filed: 1936-11-19
Abstract: 485,468. Filling - machines. ROSE, A. G., and ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH), Ltd. Nov. 19, 1936, No. 31668. [Class 94 (i)] The machine sets up cartons of the type shown in Fig. 6, from a collapsed condition. Initially, the sides 11, 14, with their flaps 15, 18 and 19, 22 are in the same plane and flat against the other sides and flaps. The cartons are fed in a pile with their lower edges, i.e. the flaps 19 .. 22 on conveyer belts 26, Fig. 1, until the foremost carton is arrested by stops 28, 29, Figs. 1 and 4. The stop 28 comprises a roller which contacts with the side 14, and the stop 29 comprises fingers which, in their forward position, engage the side 11. A suction gripper 30 engages the flap 15 and is rotated about a longitudinal axis 32 to open the flap as shown. A blade 40 now descends and enters the body of the carton to lie behind the side 11. The suction gripper is disengaged by breaking the vacuum, and is moved out of the path of the cartons about a vertical axis 36. The blade 40 is one of a series of four mounted for intermittent rotation about a shaft 43. Slots 45, 47 are engaged by pins 44, 46 on spider arms 42, 41, and the vertical movement of each blade into and out of the carton is effected by chains 49, 50 carrying claws 51 which engage with roller pins 52 on the slides. The chains move intermittently during the pauses in the rotation of the spider arms 41, 42 and position the claws 51 in the engaging positions shown. The roller pins 52 pass round fixed guide rails 53, 54, gapped where necessary, into engagement, and the chains move the right hand blade 40, Fig 1, downwards into the carton, and the left hand blade upwards out of a preceding carton so that its roller pin 52, at the next movement of rotation, passes on to the rail 53. During the two periods of rotation, each of 90, between these stations, the carton is opened as shown in Fig. 3, in which successive positions are shown in broken lines. An initial opening movement is caused by the retarding effect of the roller 28 on the side 14, which is later forced into rectangular position by an abutment roller 69. The stop 29 is moved away to allow the carton to pass, and back again to engage the next one. The set up carton is conveyed away to closing and filling apparatus.

Title: Processing tobacco or the like in a blend-bulk silo
IPC: A24B3/00
Filed: 1972-07-06
Abstract: 1402604 Loading and unloading silos by conveyers GRIFFIN & CO 6 July 1972 [6 July 1971] 31817/72 Headings B8A and B8E [Also in Division B1F] Each silo of a bank S1-S8 receives tobacco from a main shuttle conveyer belt 38 and from a cross shuttle conveyer belt 42 which discharges on to the main conveyer. A shoot 45 may feed the cross conveyer. Each silo, e.g. 21, includes a slat type floor conveyer 50 which feeds a discharge conveyer 56 via doffers 51-55 of various configurations, Fig. 4 (not shown). A wheeled shuttle 29 of the main conveyer is movable longitudinally of the silo and a shuttle 40 of the cross conveyer may traverse the bank of silos. In a blending operation, a layer of tobacco is deposited at the "South" portion of the silo after which a layer is formed at the "North" portion, Figs. 6A, 6B (not shown). The silo is filled by repeated passes of the shuttle 29. A blend in a single silo portion is formed when the belt 38 is driven in one direction only, Figs. 7A, 7B (not shown). In a bulking operation, the tobacco is piled first in one silo portion and then in the other by slowly moving the shuttle away from the respective ends of the silo, Figs. 5A, 5B (not shown). The blending and bulking modes of operation are automatically programmed and controlled by electric circuitry Figs. 8A-8D (not shown ) but there is provision for manually controlling the shuttles 29 and belts 38. The circuitry includes indicator and alarm means for monitoring the filling of the silo. The speed and direction of movement of the conveyers and shuttles are varied to obtain the required bulking or blending. In a modification, Fig. 10, a silo 100 has a central discharge area with two sets of doffers 101, 102. The two silo portions each have a slat conveyer 104, 105 for independent operation. The processing and handling of products other than tobacco is specified.

Title: Box or tray for the transport and preservation of fruit and vegetables
IPC: B65D5/22
Filed: 1962-08-21
Abstract: 962,191. Boxes. A. FABBRI. Aug. 21, 1962 [Sept. 27, 1961; Jan. 9, 1962], No. 32038/62. Heading B8P. A box or tray is made from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard or like material composed of a bottom panel 1, from which the four sides extend, the two longitudinal sides 19 having extensions 24, 29 which form a reinforcement frame enclosed in an interspace formed by turning over part of the other two sides 7 of the carton, each end wall having an upward projection 17 and a recess in its base to facilitate stacking. In the erection of the carton the flaps 29 are folded to coincide with the flaps 24, extensions 25 and 30 to the flaps 24 and 29 are folded one on the other and a strip 31 attached to the flap 29 rests against the inside face of side 19 forming a hollow reinforcement. The reinforcement is then folded about a score line 23, the longitudinal sides 19 erected, and the sides 3, 7 are folded over the reinforcements along fold lines 4, 6. The two transverse sides 3 are joined to the bottom panel by score lines 2 in the centre of which are housings formed by pressing in two small flaps 10, 11 formed by cuts 12 and score lines 13. At the centre of a strip 5, and on the side 7, a flap articulates on account of a continuous cut 14, forming a double small flap 16, 17 and a shaped end flap 18 which when the box is erected forms a projection corresponding with the housing 10, 11 and enables the boxes to be stacked securely. The height of the two longitudinal sides is less than that of the transverse sides to allow for passage of air, the former being extended to the strip 21 which when folded along score line 20 makes the side edges rigid. The flap 18 may be cut out of the outer side to form a recess for use as a handle. In a modification instead of forming the ends hollow the reinforcement flaps have extensions folded over on to the flaps to cover half their width and enclosed by the flaps 3, 7 so that the ends of the box comprise of five layers.

Abstract: 380,993. Speed-control mechanism for ring spinning frames. TRIOU, A., 170, Rue de Paris, Montgeron, Seine-et-Oise, France. Nov. 20, 1931, No. 32239. Convention date, March 31. Addition to 377,869. [Class 120 (ii).] In the mechanism described in the parent Specification the oscillatory movement of the rod 11, corresponding to the reciprocation of the ring rail, is imparted through a one-way clutch from the chain 39 which operates the cam shaft of the mechanism and moves in accordance with the reciprocating and progressive movements of the ring rail, and the connection of the rod 11 to the lever 9, Fig. 5, is constrained by a lever to move in an are about a pivot 51 instead of rectilinearly. The one-way clutch comprises a sleeve 37 and balls 40 which are normally urged by a spring 41 into a conical bore 42, so that when the chain 39 moves in the opposite direction from that of the arrow, they grip the rod 36 and operate the rod 11, and are free from the rod 11 when the chain moves in the direction of the arrow. During the latter movement the rod 36 is returned by a spring ; thus the rod 36 is oscillated in accordance with the reciprocation of the ring rail and the clutch is moved relatively thereto in the direction of the arrow in accordance with the ascent of the ring rail. When the cop is fullv wound an abutment 43 on the rod 36 engages a plunger 46 which is thereby moved beyond a spring 47 which locks the balls, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the sleeve moves freely over the rod 36 when the chain 39 is operated to move the ring rail to its initial position. When this position is reached a stop 44 on the rod 36 engages a sleeve 48 and restores the clutch to its operative condition.
