Title: Improvements in or relating to packeting devices for boxes and the like containing cigarettes or similar articles
IPC: B65B19/02
Filed: 1920-07-13
Abstract: 171,436. Ekstr÷m, G. C., and Orstr÷m, G. July 13, 1920. Packeting by wrapping- up.-In means for transporting to a packeting table boxes, paper bags, &c. containing cigarettes or similar articles delivered by one or more box-filling machines, the boxes &c. are deposited on the table in a row. The filled boxes &c. are delivered by the filling machines 1, 2, 3, into channels 4, 5, 6, which are connected by channels 7, 8, 9, respectively, to channels 10, 11, 12, on the packeting table 13. The transmitting devices are the same for each set of channels and are described for the channels 4, 7, 10. At the junction of the channels 4, 7 the width of the channel 7 is such that five boxes can be transmitted along it abreast. The boxes are fed in single column through the channel 4 by a. reciprocating plunger, and the foremost box bears against a plate 14, Fig 4, carried by a pivoted arm, which has an abutment 17 for a rod 18. The plate is maintained in engagement with the box by a spring, but as the column is fed forwards the plate is pushed backwards until when five boxes are opposite the channel 7, the abutment 17 is removed from the path of the rod 18. A plunger 22 of width corresponding to five boxes is fixed to the rod 18 and is in alignment with the channel 7. The rod 18 is connected to a pivoted arm 20 which is forced by a spring 25 against a continuously rotating cam disc 26. When the abutment 17 is withdrawn, the spring 25 pulls the arm 20 forwards, and the first five boxes are transferred by the plunger 22 to the channel 7. The cam 26 then returns the arm &c., to the position shown in Fig. 4, and under the influence of its spring, the arm supporting the plate 14 is moved towards the channel 4 and movement of the rod 18 is again prevented by the abutment 17. The first part of the channel 7 is made helicoidal for 90‹, so that the boxes may become located one upon the other. Similar mechanism transfers the boxes to the channel 10. The channels 10, 11, 12 end at different points of the table opposite each of which a pile f of paper sheets for wrapping is placed. The bottom of the last part of the channel 7 is formed by an endless belt 33 which is driven by the arm 20 through a link 39 and ratchet mechanism 36, 37. A similarly driven belt forms the bottom of the last part of the channel 8. The side wall 40 of the channel 4 is carried by swinging arms 42 and is moved away from the boxes each time they are fed forwards and returned as soon as thev are again stationary. By this means the end flaps of the boxes are repeatedly forced against one another and no paste is smeared on the side wall.

Title: Improvements in systems for the recording of motion pictures
IPC: H04N9/11
Filed: 1948-08-13
Abstract: 691,523. Television. TELE-INDUSTRIE. Aug. 13, 1948 [Sept. 24, 1947; July 22, 1948]. Nos. 21410/48 and 21411/48. Class 40 (iii.). Motion-picture films in colour are made by scanning the subject by means of a television camera 1 with a rotating segmental colour filter 6, reproducing the component colour signals on one or more cathoderay tubes, and recording the corresponding images on a plurality of motion-picture cameras 12, 4, 13 equal in number to the colour components and driven in suitable phase sequence in synchronism with the filter 6. Each camera thus records black-and-white signals corresponding to one component colour and the complete colour film is obtained from these by known colour-photography methods. In one embodiment, Fig. 1, the colour-component signals derived from camera 1 through a control amplifier 2 are distributed by an electronic switch-device 9 to picture-reproducing tubes 10, 3, 11, and the images on the screens thereof are directly photographed by the cameras 12, 4, 13 operated synchronously with the switchdevice 9 and the filter 6 under the control of apparatus 16. Three additional tubes 17, 18, 19 connected respectively in parallel with tubes 10, 3, 11 provide a single combined coloured image on a screen 20 for monitoring purposes. In another embodiment, Fig. 3, the successive colour-component images are reproduced on a single tube 3 and directed towards the respective cameras 12, 4, 13 by an optical system comprising three discs 25, 26, 27 each provided with a 120-degree reflective sector and a 240-degree transparent sector. The corresponding sectors in the three discs are staggered at 120 degrees so that successive images are reflected towards the cameras in cyclic order when the discs are rotated by means of a motor 30 and couplings 28, 29 operating in synchronism with the cameras 12, 4, 13 and filter 6. In modifications of the optical system, disc 27, Fig. 3, is eliminated, one camera is located on the axis of tube 3 and the other two cameras are located on the same side of the axis, Fig. 4 (not shown), or on opposite sides with discs 25, 26 at right-angles to one another, Fig. 5 (not shown). In a further modification, Fig. 7 (not shown), discs 25, 26, 27 are replaced by plane mirrors operated by a rotating crank. The systems shown will normally produce negative films but a positive may be directly produced by including slopereversing means in amplifier 2. Any component-colour image may be reversed as regards left- and right-hand sides to suit a particular colour-printing process by reversing the linescanning in one of the tubes 3, 10, 11, Fig. 1, or in one of the three scannings in the scanning cycle of the camera tube 1. Specification 650,879 is referred to.
