Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for the arrangement and delivery of hollow articles
IPC: B65G47/14
Filed: 1943-09-13
Abstract: 571,626. Delivering articles from hoppers. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., BAGSHAW, C. M., and PRATT, J. W. Sept. 13, 1943, Nos. 14965/43 and 4181/44. [Class 78 (i)] [Also in Group II] Hollow tubular articles, partially closed at one end, are picked up from a hopper 10 by rotating hooked arms 18 and deposited in a shoot 26 down which they slide with their partially-closed ends in front, into a vertical shoot 28. The shoot 26 is formed of two spring pressed plates spaced so as to allow passage of the arms 18. Intermediate arms 22 with bosses 24 spread the plates apart to allow the tubular articles to fall back into the hopper when the shoot 28 is full. The shoot 28 is pivoted at 32 and carried by a spring 31 normally in a vertical position. At its lower end it carries a plate 34 with a delivery opening in line with the shoot, it also carries a spring controlled slide 50 with a plate 52 covering the delivery opening, a plunger 56 which holds up all but the bottom article C, and a bevelled plunger 54 which bears against the lowest article to release it from telescopic engagement with the article above it. The slide carries and is actuated by a lug 44 engaging the receiving device 42 which may be part of a conveyer, and is released to return the parts to their initial position when the movement of the receiving device 42 carries the shoot 28 to a predetermined distance from the vertical. In a modification Fig. 6, the pile of articles is held up by a rod 153, and a second rod 156 is adapted to grip the article second from the bottom. These rods are carried by a slide 150 which is actuated by engagement of a depending arm 143 with the relatively moving receiver member. Previous to this movement the lowest article is gripped by arms 170 actuated by bell crank lever 188, which is in turn actuated by the bell-crank lever 183 and the receiving member. The arms 170 are carried on a pivoted bracket 160 with a roller 163 which is engaged by a fixed cam when the carrier plate 134 and the pivoted shoot is moved backwards to forcibly pull the last article from telescopic engagement with the one next above. During this movement, the arms 170 are held in gripping position by a guide 191 ; the articles are released when the movement of the carrier plate takes the gripping arms past the guide and allows them to open under the action of the spring 173.

Title: Fluid control valve
Inventor: DOLLISON WILLIAM WELDON
IPC: F16K17/10
Filed: 1959-05-04
Abstract: 903,148. Valves. OTIS ENGINEERING CORPORATION. May 4, 1959, No. 15217/59. Class 135. A valve for maintaining the pressure in a control chamber between an upper and a lower limit, comprises a closure member 19 cooperating with a seat 12 and movable therefrom by upstream pressure to open the seat to outlet 18, means, e.g. locking balls 28 to releasably lock member 19 closed, a cylinder 25 containing a plunger 33, a conduit 24 connecting the cylinder with the upstream chamber whereby upstream pressure urges the plunger to the right from an intermediate position against springs 37, 41 and spring 41 urges the plunger in the opposite direction, and means, e.g. land 30, responsive to movement of the plunger in either direction from the intermediate position to release the locking balls. In the intermediate position in which land 30 displaces the balls through openings in a reduced tubular portion 27 of the main casing 11 to lock in a groove 29 in an enlarged skirt on the closure member sliding over portion 27, a shoulder 34 on the plunger stem 31 contacts an abutment 35 for spring 37 which presses against casing flange 39. A chamber for spring pressure rise above the upper limit moves the plunger together with shoulder 34 and abutment 35 to the right against both springs until land 30 allows the balls to move out of the locking groove and upstream pressure opens the valve. A chamber pressure fall below the lower limit allows spring 41 to unlock the valve by moving the plunger to the left, spring 37 now having no effect on the plunger in virtue of the abutment between members 35 and 39. The valve is reclosed by manually moving spring-loaded sleeve 46 carrying pin 48 engaging the skirt of the closure member to the left to force the closure member into its seat. The valve may be locked closed by engaging the pin in a slot 50. When viewed through opening 40, a space between members 34, 35 indicates under-pressure opening, a space between members 35, 39 indicates over-pressure opening, and abutment between all members 34, 35, 39 indicates that the valve is closed.
