Title: Improvements in the packing of cigarettes
IPC: B65B19/02
Filed: 1959-06-23
Abstract: 919,705. Packaging-machines. CHALMERS, J. W., HARRIS, R. W., and MOLINS MACHINE CO. Ltd. June 22, 1960 [June 23, 1959], No. 21484/59. Class 94(1). A machine for packaging batches of cigarettes &c. comprises formers on a turret on which blanks are made into packets with a side seam unsecured or only partly secured, and a pocketted wheel into which the packets are ejected for filling, the seam being completed in the pockets by external pressure after the batches have been received. Making packets. Blanks B are fed by means 2, 3 to the formers 5, each of which has a presser plate 6 to clamp the blank to it. Adhesive for the seam is applied by a roller 7. The blank is folded progressively round the former by reciprocating members 9, 10, 11 and a fixed plate 13, suction through apertures 12, Fig. 4, retaining one free end until the plate, Figs. 1, 5, folds and holds the other upon it. At three positions, opposite narrow sides of the tube are pressed against the former by blocks 18, operating on one side through gaps in the plate 13. The blocks contacting the seam are shaped so that only part 14, Fig. 6, is engaged. The tube end adjacent the part 14 is folded on to the former end by reciprocating members 25, 26, 27, Fig. 7 and Figs. 12, 13 (not shown), and by a fixed plate 28, Fig. 1. Pressers 29 operate through gaps in the plate to consolidate the folds. More than one blank may be applied to each former to produce a lined package. Filling and ejecting. Each former has an axially projectable end 45 which ejects the incomplete packet into a pocket in a drum 43 so that its mouth projects. An expandible guide 46 comprising radially slideable portions 102, 103, Fig. 14, enters the mouth and expands, the unsecured seam facilitating this. A pusher 50 thrusts in a batch of cigarettes (wrapped or unwrapped) and the guide withdraws. A pusher 51 then presses the filled packet completely into the pocket which has a convergent configuration to apply pressure and secure the seam. The packet remains in the drum and is thrust radially inwards by entry of the next packet from the formers. After almost two drum revolutions, during which the adhesive sets, it is ejected laterally. The open end may, if desired, be closed by means similar to that forming the packet end on the former (not shown). Specifications 919,706 and 919,707 are referred to.

Title: Game apparatus
IPC: A63F9/14
Filed: 1936-08-10
Abstract: 479,770. Indoor race games. WEST, C. Aug. 10, 1936, No. 22043. [Class 132 (ii)] [Also in Croup XVIII] A coin - freed race game apparatus comprises a number of horses 1 adapted to be moved progressively along slots 5 in a board 2 by the oscillation of handles 9 which give a reciprocating movement to cables 6, the forward movements of which are transmitted to the horses by a pivoted clutch device 11 carried by the horses, the tension of the cables being automatically varied during the race to give varying speeds. The pivoted clutch member 11 may carry pins 42, Fig. 10, between which the cable 6 passes, and which are caused to grip the cable when it is moved forward. To re-set the horses, the members 11 are tilted to free the cable by turning a handle 20 to bring a cable-driven bar 16 under a pivoted catch member 54, Fig. 7, on the rear arm 15 of the member 11, the bar being then moved rearwardly to the starting position, where a catch 46 locks the arm 15 against forward movement. This catch 46 may be released, to permit movement of the bar to pick-up horses on the track, by the bar 16 engaging and actuating a pivoted release member 56 on the arm 15. Each cable 6 may i be reciprocated by an arm 7 oscillated by a lever 32 carrying a pawl 34 which drives a ratchet wheel operating a cam 35 adapted to vary the inclination of a pivoted arm 36 carrying a grooved wheel 38 which bears on and so varies the tension of the cable 8 during the race. An indicator 14, or other signal, is actuated by the winning horse, or the latter on reaching the finishing point may operate a lever 63 and pawl 61 to lock the apparatus against further operation. Means for adjusting by hand the tension of the cables 6 are described, and also an apparatus built-up of unitary structures. The apparatus may be power-operated. Coin action, mechanical - connection.-The catch 46 is released when a coin 50 is dropped through a slot into a shoot 51, and the shoot is swung on the shaft 26 to bring the coin under the lever 47. Subsequently, the shoot passes beyond the end of a blade 52 and the coin falls into a box 53.

A housing 14 carrying the lower end of a steering-column mounted gear-shift rod 12 on a motor-vehicle, is flexibly mounted, as by a pair of parallel blade springs 16, 17, pins 18 and rubber washers 20, on the dashboard 11 or steering column which has movement relatively to the change-speed gear casing 10, to which latter (10) the housing 14 is tied by a rigid link 37, extending in the same general direction as that of the two links 29, 30 which connect the usual gearshift levers 31, 32 to actuating levers 27, 28 clutchable to the rod 12, whereby the housing 14 partakes of all movements of the gear-casing 10 in that direction so that the selector setting is unaffected by relative movement. The housing 14 is additionally supported on the dashboard by a cupped rubber sleeve 15. The shiftrod 12 is arranged parallel to the usual steering- shaft 13 within the steering column, on which latter the upper end of the rod is resiliently supported by a bearing 23 mounted on rubber washers 25. A manual lever 22 moves the shift-rod 12 linearly and angularly, the former to clutch a pin 33 to either of the levers 27, 28, the latter (angular) to actuate the selected lever.

Abstract: 389,370. Electrically-actuated valves. NATIONAL PNEUMATIC CO., 420, Lexing- ton Avenue, New York, U.S.A. Aug. 8, 1932, No. 22215. Convention date, April 9. [Class 135.] In an electromagnetic valve which may be used to control a differential fluid-pressure engine, such as a door engine, without additional valves or other apparatus, and of the kind comprising an L-shaped yoke of hardened magnetic steel ending in a polepiece 2, a pivoted armature 7 of similar material, and a wound soft-iron core member 3 having a central hole in which a rod 10 is movable for operating the valve, the core-winding is in two parts 4, 5. One, 4, of these is momentarily energized to attract the armature 7, which remains in engagement with the polepiece 2 until their residual magnetism is neutralized by momentarily energizing the other winding 5. A spring 18 then moves the armature away from the polepiece. The windings have independent switch keys 23, 28 and may be superposed. The armature 7, which is pivoted on a non-magnetic standard 6, acts on the valve-rod 10 through a blade spring 9. The rod 10 carries at its lower end two conical valves 19, 20. In the lower position, the valve 19 is closed and 20 is opened to put a pressure-port 17 into communication with an engine-port 16. In the upper position, valve 20 closes and 19 opens to connect the engine-port with the atmosphere through ports 15.

Abstract: 1,235,417. Valves. DANFOSS A.S. 2 May, 1969 [4 May, 1968], No. 22447/69. Heading F2V. Electromagnetic valve for gases comprises an armature 10 connected with the valve member 3 and enclosed in a fluid-filled housing 16 which is sealed at opposite ends by two diaphragms 17, 18. One diaphragm 17 is subject to the inlet pressure and the other 18 to outlet pressure communicated to respective chambers 19, 21, so that the fluid pressures acting on the valve tend to be balanced. As shown, the armature 10 is biased relative to a spindle 11 of the valve member by a spring 26 and biased to closed position by another spring 12. Chamber 19 communicates with the inlet through a passage 20 in the spindle which may include a restrictor 27. The armature is slidable in a bobbin 9, 14, 15 which carries the coil 7, and the armature functions as a dashpot piston by reason of a groove 23 which is closed at one end 24 to increasingly damp the opening movement toward the end of the stroke. In a modification the armature is fixed to the spindle, the spring 26 and restrictor 27 being omitted.
