Abstract: 555,622. Packeting. PACKAGE MACHINERY CO. March 28. 1942 No. 4150. Convention date, May 12, 1941. [Class 94 (i)] A wrapping machine comprises means for receiving an article from a conveyer and lifting it towards a delivery channel, and means for applying a wrapper to and folding it around the article during the lifting and delivering movements. The articles a, Fig. 1, are brought up to the elevator 28 by a continuously-moving conveyer chain 23 bearing spaced lugs 24. The articles are removed in succession from the conveyer, and pushed on to the elevator by a pair of fingers 30 which move both horizontally and vertically in an endless path indicated by the line 41. After receiving an article, the elevator rises accompanied by a fold-former 51', Fig. 14, provided with upstanding wings 52'. As the article is raised, it picks up a wrapper a, Fig. 1, which is draped about the front and rear of the article by folders 70, and the projecting ends of the wrapper are folded by folders 71 and by plough folders 72, 73, as shown in Fig. 14. The end folds are made over the wings 52<SP>1</SP> which thus co-operate with the folders to produce sharply-defined end folds independently of any irregularities in the shapes of the ends of the articles. As soon as the article is received against the top plate 75 of the folding-box, the wings 52<SP>1</SP> are retracted, and tucking-plates 78 are moved laterally to tuck the end folds under the article, and to support it and hold the folds in position after the elevator receeds. The end folds are now completed, as shown in Fig. 26. Next, a folding-plate 97 is moved laterally beneath the article to turn the rear flap under the article. Finally, the article is thrust laterally by a pusher 107 which carries it into a delivery channel 118 where it is gripped between upper and lower delivery belts 119, the front flap of the wrapper being folded under the article during this movement Before this movement, however, the depending front flaps may be daubed with adhesive on its inner surface f, as shown in Fig. 22, by the front edge of a plate 125 which is moved laterally over a gumming roller 148. Cams attached to the plate 125 depress the roller 148 as the plate moves forward to prevent adhesive from being spread over the plate. The position of the plate, and of the parts of the folding box, can be adjusted to adapt them for articles of various sizes.

IPC: B65D6/00
Filed: 1944-03-07
Abstract: 576,950. Dry shavers. KOBLER & CO. March 7, 1944, Nos. 4261 and 4262. Convention dates Feb. 23, 1943 and Feb. 3, 1944. [Class 131] In a dry shaver of the kind in which the ends of the shearing head are closed by flaps the latter are arranged to be opened by the fingers of the hand holding the shaver and in addition the shearing head may be releasable by means associated with the flap opening means. The closure flaps 17, Fig. 1, are pivoted at 16 and pressure on the finger pieces 22 which are pivoted at 20 to the lever arm 19 forces the flaps 17 open to allow the removal of accumulated hair. Increased pressure forces the latches 7 of the spring-release mechanism inwardly to release the bolts 2 so that the shearing head may be removed from the handle 1. In the modification shown in Fig. 6 the pivotal closure flaps 17<1> are mounted by a bent-off lower portion 37 of pivotal troughshaped finger pieces 22 so that pressure brings the nose 41 into contact with the stop 30 and partly opers the closure flap. To remove the shearing head from the handle the fingers of the other hand are used to press back the open closure flap 17<1> until the part 37 comes into contact with the upstanding terminal projections 33 of the latch 7<1>. The projections 33 may be replaced by a depending edge and a corresponding recess is provided in the finger piece. In a further modification the movements of the lever arm 19 of Fig. 1 are used to operate the latches 7 the finger pieces 22 being dispensed with and in another modification the closures are slidable and have lobes or knobs which actuate the latches on continued movement of the closure.

Abstract: 580,255. Shock-absorbers. ROSS, F. A. March 8. 1944, No. 4269. [Class 108 (iii)] An anti-shock device attached to a ship's structure comprises a rigid member a which is suspended from the underside of a portion d of the structure to which a resilient member or members e<1>, e<2> are attached at a point or points in their length leaving a free or resilient end or ends to which apparatus h to be protected from shock is attached. The resilient members comprise conical helical springs e<1>, e<2> of flat steel strip and are rigidly held at their outer ends in recesses in the rigid member comprising a tube a. The inner ends of the springs are rigidly secured to a central spindle g connected with the apparatus h. Lateral movement is prevented by interleaving of the spring coils and the spindle g may be connected by a flat bar p (shown dotted) with the spindle of another similar device. Damping may be obtained by a rubber, felt or leather washer held between nuts on the spindle g and engaging the walls of the tube a; alternatively damping may be produced by embedding the springs in a non-hardening plastic substance. The initial deflection due to the dead weight of the apparatus h should preferably equal the deflection of the structure causing the shock and to prevent vibration under normal conditions the apparatus h may rest on discs of rubber or felt after static load deflection has taken place. In a modified construction only one of the springs e', e<2> is used and in a further construction conical helical springs of circular section material are used, being mounted with their larger ends adjacent and bolted to the tube a and their apices rigidly secured by nuts to spaced portions of the spindle g. The resilient members may alternatively be of rubber in the form of blocks, tubes or of a moulded cone formation.

Title: Bottle inspection apparatus

Abstract: 1371611 Photo-diode arrays for bottle inspection FORDS (FINSBURY) Ltd 16 Sept 1971 [16 June 1970 11 Feb 1971] 29242/70 and 4489/71 Heading G1A In a storage mode photo-cell device for bottle inspection, a plurality of sub-circuits are connected in parallel, each sub-circuit comprising a photosensitive element having same capacitance so that once the circuits have been activated by a charging pulse the time in which each circuit completes an inspection cycle and discharges the capacitance is dependent upon the intensity of the illumination of its associated photo-sensitive element. In a bottle inspection apparatus sub-circuit comprising a photo-diode P and two M.O.S.T.s T 1 , T 2  are connected, as shown in Fig. 6, in an integrated circuit, the diodes forming an array on the integrated circuit's surface. Radiation that has passed through part of the bottle being inspected is focused upon the integrated circuit. A series of negative pulses are applied, as shown, activating the sub-circuits repeatedly and if there are no faults &c. in the part concerned then each photo-diode will be equally illuminated, but when a fault is present variations in the time's required to complete the inspection cycle will take place amongst the sub-circuits. These variations can be processed with the aid of an additional photodiode connected in a similar sub-circuit, and which is positioned on the integrated circuit Fig. 7 (riot shown) so as to sample the radiation falling on all the integrated circuit 5 and thereby provide a signal representing the average light transmission. Thus by comparing the signals from the additional photo-diode, any increase in time taken by the array of photo-diodes to complete their inspection cycle may be detected and used to activate a reject device. If the light through a container is completely obscured or if it falls below a desired minimum level due, for example, to an overall smear, then this condition is detected by comparing the time the additional diode takes to complete its cycle with a fixed time period. A block circuit diagrame for processing the signals Fig. 8 (not shown) is disclosed. Mechanical features of the bottle inspection apparatus form the subject of Divisional Specifications 13716/2 and 1371613.
