Title: Package feeder apparatus
IPC: B31B120/30
Filed: 1970-02-11
Abstract: 1,269,039. Feeding packaging containers. PITTERS PTY. Ltd. 11 Feb., 1970 [12 Feb., 1969], No. 6577/70. Heading B8C. Package feeder apparatus comprises a carrier 2 for releasably retaining a plurality 3 of package blanks 5 in stacked relationship and being movable between a pick-up position and a discharge position; pick-up means operable to engage a blank held by the carrier when the carrier is in said pick-up position and to withdraw said engaged blank from the carrier; drive means operable to move the pick-up means towards a blank receiving station during said withdrawal, in direction transverse to the direction of said withdrawal; and control means operable to move the carrier toward its discharge position when said pick-up means is correctly positioned relative to the carrier for engagement with said blank, in the same general direction as said pick-up means is moved by the drive means. As shown, flattened tubular container blanks 5 are withdrawn singly from a stack 3 by sucker assemblies 34 mounted on a wheel 33 rotatably secured to a drive shaft 24 and are deposited in trays 56 on a conveyer 57 running transversely to the wheel 33. The stack 3 is supported by the carrier 2 which is also mounted on the shaft 24, for oscillatory movement by means of an arm 27, the free end of which co-operates with a cam 31. Each sucker assembly 34 comprises a pair of sucker pads 37 mounted on a head 35 extending from a stem 36 which is slidably mounted in a radial bore 47 of the wheel 33, the radial movement of the assemblies being controlled by a stationary cam plate 48 mounted on the shaft 24 and having lobes 53, 54, 55 with which a roller 49 on each assembly co-operates. The pad 37 of each assembly 34 is connected through a suction line 38 and a bore 45 in the shaft 24 to a vacuum pump (not shown). The arrangement is such that when the carrier 2 reaches the pick-up position, the pads 37 are moved by the lobe 53 radially outwards to engage a blank 5 through an. aperture in the base of the carrier. Suction is then applied to the pads 37, and as the cam 31 begins to move the carrier 2 in the opposite direction, the blank 5 is withdrawn by movement of the roller 49 towards the lobe 54 and is partially expanded by contact with a plate 5 on the carrier. Continued movement of the assembly forces the blank against a guide bar 63 into engagement with a plunger 64 to partially reflatten the blank which is thereafter conveyed to a tray 56 where a leading edge (66), Fig. 12 (not shown), of the blank engages a wall (57) of the tray to assist full expansion of the blank. The lobe 55 facilitates correct positioning of the blank in the tray and subsequently causes disconnection of the pump and withdrawal of the sucker assembly 34. In a modification, the blank is located in the tray 56 as the tray arrives at an upper level, i.e., with the wall 57 higher than trailing wall, which is hereafter progressively lifted as the blank expands. Specification 1,249,389 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in tractor-trailer couplings
IPC: B62D53/08
Filed: 1927-03-12
Abstract: 267,552. Winn, S. B. March 13, 1926, [Convention date]. Couplings for road vehicles.-When standing alone the trailer is supported at the front on tiltable wheels and the brakes are in the on ' position. The tractor is coupled by backing it on to the trailer, by which action the weight of the front of the trailer is transferred to the tractor and the brakes are taken off. When the king pin 19 meets a yoke 13 connecting lateral rods 12 the front wheels of the trailer are raised. On further movement the pin meets a sliding piece 23 adapted to actuate arms of a pair of bell-crank knuckles 20, which thereupon envelope the pin. The knuckles carry spring- pressed bolts 30, which, when the knuckles engage the pin, rail into apertures in the base of the jaws 17 between which the pin 19 passes. The knuckles are thus locked in engagement with the pin. The trailer brakes are connected to a hand lever 7 carrying a roller 10, and are held in the on ' position by the engagement of the roller with the piece 23. When the piece 23 is moved by the pin 19 the brakes are released, and the shoe 9 rests upon a rod 39 inside the pin. The rod 39 may be raised by the driver by means of levers 40, 43, 44, 45, 47, connected to controls and the brakes applied. If the trailer overruns the tractor the pin 19 is pushed forward, the rod 39 is raised automatically by the levers, and the brakes are applied. To uncouple the tractor. the driver actuates levers connected to shoe 48, which raise pins 33 adapted to push the bolts 30 out of the apertures in the jaws 17 and hence allow the knuckles 20 to open and release the pin 19. In the coupled position wheels 3 on the trailer roll on a turntable 2 on the tractor. In a modified construction shown in Figs. 9 and 10 the locking means for the knuckles 62 comprise bell-cranked members 70 adapted to enter notches in the knuckles, and loose on the ends of a shaft 67. Springs 72 engage at one end shoes 71 on the cranks 70 and at the other the coupler 60 so that the shoes 71 will be depressed and the knuckles locked as shown in Fig. 10, or held against the parts 63 when the knuckles are open. The knuckles are released by operating a bell-crank 74, 77.
