Abstract: 1,087,895. Shoots and hoppers; orientating articles; endless conveyers. AUTO WRAPPERS (NORWICH) Ltd. May 3, 1966 [June 25, 1965], No. 26984/65. Headings B8A and B8S. [Also in Division F2] Apparatus for feeding tablets 2, Fig. 2, from a bulk supply in a hopper 11 to sets 3, 4 of vibrating parallel vanes which orientate the tablets so that they stand on their peripheries and travel down channels formed between the vanes, comprises a shoot 7 for feeding the tablets from the hopper 11 to the set 4 of the vanes, a baffle 35 movable into and out of the path of the tablets passing down the shoot 7, and a feeler 16 adapted to be moved by a heap 9 of tablets overfed to the set 4 of the vanes, to actuate a micro-switch controlling the movement of the baffle 35. The bottom of the shoot 7 is apertured to allow broken pieces of tablets to be sifted out. A rotating brush 5 ensures that projecting tablets are pushed down into the channels between the vanes. The feeler 16 is mounted on a shaft 14 and in its undeflected position prevents tablets from running down on top of tablets in the channels. A cam (19), Fig. 3 (not shown), is also mounted on the shaft 14 and is adapted, when the feeler 16 is deflected, to move an arm (20) of the micro-switch (21), operation of which starts an electric motor (22), Fig. 4 (not shown). The motor (22) is connected to the baffle 35 through a reduction gear (23), a crank-pin (24), a connecting rod (25), a plate (26) keyed to a shaft (27) on which is secured a pulley (28) of a chain drive (29), and an arm (34) carrying the baffle 35 and secured to a shaft (31) on which is fixed the other pulley (30) of the chain drive (29). In operation, when the switch (21) is actuated, the crank-pin (24) is rotated a half-revolution to move the baffle 35 into the path of the tablets, and when the switch (21) is released the crank-pin (24) is rotated through a further half revolution to lower the baffle 35, the motor (22) being further controlled for this purpose by two limit microswitches (43), (44) operated by a pin (40) on a link (37) which is connected to the plate (26) for oscillation therewith. The tablets are fed from the hopper 11 to the shoot 7 by an endless conveyer belt 10 intermittently driven through a chain drive (!46), Fig. 5 (not shown), by a pawl (49) and a ratchet-wheel (48), the pawl being reciprocated by a solenoid (50). The latter is de-energized when the baffle 35 is moved to its blocking position. Circuitry is described, Fig. 6 (not shown), for controlling the motor (22) and the solenoid (50). Momentarily lifting of the feeler 16, e.g. by tablets moving on the vanes or on tablets in the channels between the vanes, is prevented from starting the motor (22) by a time-delay relay in the circuit. The tablets may subsequently pass to a conveyer 1 of a wrapping machine.

Title: Improvements in and relating to hydraulic pressure controllers
Inventor: RICHARDS ARTHUR
IPC: F16K31/12
Filed: 1953-10-02
Abstract: 762,488. Fluid-actuated valves. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Nov. 16, 1954 [Oct. 2, 1953], No. 27010/53. Class 135. An automatic hydraulic pressure controller, e.g. for rapid pressure filling of tanks, comprises a rotatable ported disc valve 12 openable under the action of a spring 23 or a constant fluid pressure, e.g. within the bellows 25 and closable by outlet pressure acting on a member, e.g. the bellows, and is connected in series with a differential pressure meter, e.g. a nozzle, orifice or venturi so that the differential pressure across the meter acting across, e.g. a piston 35 assists in opening the valve. The areas A1 of the piston and A2 of the bellows are so related that the maximum designed pressure differential multiplied by A1 equals A2 multiplied by the maximum pressure drop in the pipe leading from the valve to the inlet of the tank containing an inlet valve. In"this way the resistance head Pm at the tank inlet is shown to be equal to a hydraulic pressure equivalent to the adjusted spring load Pl. A spring-loaded valve relieves pressure leaking passed the valve 12 should the downstream pressure exceed the maximum value of Pm.

Filed: 1955-09-23
Abstract: 807,072. Centre weft-fork motions for looms. CLOUGH, H. Dec. 24, 1956 [Sept. 23, 1955], No. 27157/55. Class 142(2) A centre weft-fork having arms 27, 28 forming the tippler is raised by a cam 33 oscillated in synchronism with the slay, is lowered by a spring the force of which is adjustable, and is then slightly raised by a lever 37 pivoted on the cam to remove the pressure of the fork on the weft and thereby prevent weft "looping". The cam is. mounted on a shaft 20 connected to a coaxial shaft 41, Fig. 2, carrying an arm 48 whose lower end engages a roller 49 adjustably mounted on the loom side frame. When the slay moves back, the lever 48 rocks the shaft 41 and the cam 33 is swung rearwardly whereby a lobe 36 thereon engages the arm 28 and raises the weft fork. When the slay moves forward the shaft 41 is turned by a torsion spring and swings the cam 33 forward, the fork being spring urged to feel the weft. A second lobe 35 passes beneath the end of the arm 27 if weft is present on the lever 37 engages a stop 47 and assumes an inclined position and lifts the arm 27 to relieve the pressure of the fork on the weft (Fig. 8). If weft is absent, the fork falls into a recess in the race 'board and the arm 27 engages a recess 70 in the cam and during the continued forward swing of the slay the shaft 41 is held from rotating and a spring loaded dagger 58 on the shaft engages a pad 62 on a resilient arm 63 and the loom is "knocked-off" and the brake applied. The arm 63 also engages a roller 65 and swings arms 66, 68 thereby disengaging a pawl from the take-up ratchet 69. Two or more stop-motions as described may be mounted on the slay according to the width of the loom.
