Patent GB-191014642-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Apparatus.
Inventor: HIPKINS WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1910-06-17
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 14,642. Hipkins, W. E., and Burrows, J. J. June 17. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic-feed weigher of the type having a tipping scoop, and consists in the provision of means for tipping the scoop and controlling the return thereof. The scoop d is mounted on a frame e suspended from the weighing-beam, and tips about an axle d<1>. On the rise of the scoop after a weighing operation, a projection on the frame e opens the major-feed valve v, and a plate g, also on the frame e, uncovers the dribble-feed orifice w. As the scoop fills and sinks, a hinged door d<2> preventing overflow, the major-feed gate is first allowed to close, and finally the plate g entirely covers the dribble orifice. A pair of arms l carrying pointed pins l<1> and roller pins l<2>, are rotated by suitable motive power so that, attimed intervals the pins l<1> engage the upper surfaces of cams on the frame e to lock the weigh-beam, while the roller pins l<2> ride over cams k attached to the scoop spindle and thereby tip the scoop. In the event of an insufficient supply having entered the scoop when the pins l' engage the cams j, the pins pass beneath the cams, and, by holding up the frame e, prevent the pins l<2> from engaging the cams k and tilting the scoop.
