Filed: 1932-12-02
Abstract: 396,987. Cigar - making machines. UNIVERSELLE CIGARETTENMASCHINENFABRIK J. C. MœLLER & CO., 48, Zwickauerstrasse, Dresden, Germany. Dec. 2, 1932, No. 34167. Convention date, Dec. 15, 1931. [Class 130.] The wrapper of a cigar is placed in the trough of an apron-rolling machine by grippers carried on the support of the bunch roller. The grippers, Fig. 6, are formed by a jaw 7 carried by and rigid with a lever 10 which supports the bunch roller 51 and by movable jaws 13, mounted on the lever 10, and forming part of bell-crank levers 14, 12. As the lever 10 swings toward a table 1, Fig. 2, on which the wrapper U is held by suction, a roller 15 on the arm 14 contacts with an oblique surface on a plate 17 and the jaws 13, 7 are opened against the tension of a spring 19, projections 13<1> on the jaw 13 entering recesses in the table 1. When the roller 15 enters a recess 17<1> in the plate, the spring 19 closes the jaws 7, 13 which grip the wrapper U, and the arm 14 swings beneath the plate 17. As the lever 10 is swung towards the trough by the cam track 10<1>, Fig. 2, the roller 15 raises the plate 17, and the grippers draw the wrapper over the rolling apron 20, until a projection 14<1> on the lever 14 strikes an adjustable screw 49. The wrapper U is released by the grippers and held by a spring-controlled stop 47, while a plunger 50 forces the compressed tobacco P from a chamber 48 into the trough, which is formed by a jaw 25, Fig. 8, carried by a tubular member 26, and by a pivoted plate 42, 42<1> mounted on the jaw 25. A camactuated lever 30 raises the trough 25, 42 to the position shown, before the stop 47 holds the wrapper. Further movement of the lever 30 raises a rod 28 in the member 26 to move the plate 42 outwards to enable the filler to enter the trough. The lever 30 then falls, first causing the plate 42 to move inwardly and then moving the jaw 25 into alignment with the rolling table 22, and the bunch is rolled in a loop behind the roller 51 on the lever 10.

Title: Apparatus for non-destructive material testing
IPC: G01N29/26
Filed: 1963-08-29
Abstract: 1,009,256. Ultrasonic flow detection. COMBUSTION ENGINEERING Inc. Aug. 29, 1963 [Oct. 4, 1962], No. 34189/63. Heading H4D. An ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus comprises a plurality of piezo-electric crystals such as I, II and III, disposed in spaced relationship to each other and relative to the surface of a material specimen, e.g. tube K, to be tested, means for moving said specimen lengthwise past the crystals, a flaw detection instrument adapted to transmit electrical pulses to the crystals and to receive flaw-revealing echoes from said crystals, and sequencing cyclical switching means connected between said crystals and the detection instrument in such a manner that each crystal is connected individually to the instrument in sequential and cyclically repeated order. By using a plurality of crystals instead of only one the necessity to rotate the specimen is removed, thus increasing the tube testing speed, and as the flaw detection instrument transmits to and receives from only one of the plurality of crystals at any given instant the ratio of " noise level " to the flaw signal is kept at a minimum. The crystals I, II and III are positioned around the circumference of the tube K at equal 120 degrees spacings and each is respectively connected to segments 1, 2 and 3 of switch S. The rotating blade 25 of switch S is connected to a flip-flop unit which forms part of the flaw detection instrument. The flaw detection instrument contains a synchronizer, working in conjunction with the flip-flop unit, which times the spacing of the pulses sent out over conductor T from generator 16 (whose output has been adjusted to match the natural frequency of the crystals), and also provides the receiver 18 with a time sense. The crystals are inclined away from the specimen radius so that the probing sound therefrom enters the specimen surface at an angle indicated by the dotted lines. The tube K is moved lengthwise past the crystals by means of rollers (Fig. 3a, not shown). The Specification describes arrangements of the crystals for testing solid cylindrical, solid and tubular multi-sided, and flat specimens.
