Title: Improvements in or relating to cigarette packing machines
IPC: B65B19/06
Filed: 1937-09-30
Abstract: 503,142. Feeding cigarettes to packing - machines ; photo - electric control. LERNER, F. Sept. 30, 1937, No. 26488. [Class 117] [Also in Groups XVII and XL] In packing oval cigarettes so that the imprints are all on one side, the cigarettes are fed in rows through a sorting device in which each cigarette is placed on a movable support, and those which require to be turned are lowered into the mechanism for turning them and then restored to their original position after which the feed of the row is continued. The sorting device consists of a series of channels with sides 5, Figs. 1 and 5, and inclined supports 6 which register with fixed channels along which the cigarettes are fed step-by-step from the hopper 1 by a reciprocating pusher 3. The supports 6 are carried by blades 7 guided by rods 8 and normally pressed downwards by springs. A rod 12 carried by the end of a cam-actuated lever 11 returns the supports to their upper position. Each blade carries a pivoted pawl 20 which is moved to lock the blade in its upper position by pressing the corresponding key 17, which is frictionally held by a spring-pressed ball and returned during each cycle by a cam actuated lever 26. The supports that are not locked descend in the channels 5 and deposit their cigarettes in the teeth of a ratchet tooth rack 22 which is moved to partially turn the cigarettes, the movement being completed by the supports rising to their original levels. The cigarettes are then pushed forward by those following into a carrier 28 which is mounted on links 30, 31 and reciprocated by a link 33 so as to bring the cigarettes into line with a pusher 29 by which they are fed into the box. The keys 17 may be operated by hand or mechanically through means controlled by a photo-electric device for detecting the presence or absence of the imprint on the cigarettes. The device comprises a photo-electric cell which traverses the row of cigarettes, and a distributer switch which brings the electromagnetic devices associated with the keys, in turn, into the circuit controlled by the photo-electric cell. Alternatively a stationary photo-electric cell and a traversing mirror may be used.

Abstract: 534,086. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. (Kozma, L.). Oct. 6, 1939, No. 27371. [Class 40 (iv)] Line identifying equipment used for automatic ticketing or toll checking is provided with means for identifying a party line subscriber. As described for two-party lines, the tens and units digit of the line number are ascertained by a final selector revertively controlled by an identification control circuit, the final selector being selected by an identification switch set in accordance with the setting of a group identifying switch by A.C. marking methods as described in Specification 484,647. Fig. 2 is a simplification of Figs. 5 and 6 of that Specification with additional connections from the a and b wires of the final selector over the identification switch IF in the control circuit to a relay P polarized by rectifier R. The tens and units switches MUM, MTM are stepped by relay Os in the fundamental circuit until that circuit is opened by relay A operated by valve DV in response to the A.C. marking on the c wire. In systems in which the two subscribers on a line have two appearances, one reversed, in the banks of the line finders and final selectors, the fundamental circuit is opened by A on reaching the first appearance. If this is of normal polarity P does not operate, but if it is of reversed polarity, P pulls up and recloses the fundamental so that the final selector proceeds to the next appearance which need not be the next contacts, A and P being meanwhile released. If the two numbers appear in different levels of the final selector, two sets of identification control circuits will be taken into use, one for each level, and the one in which P operates causes its final selector to be stepped to the end of the level and the control current released. In systems in which the lines have a single appearance in the switch banks but the polarity is determined by exchange equipment in response to a call, relay P changes the marking which determines the units digit to be transmitted to the ticket. printer or other equipment.
