Title: Improvements in or relating to Labelling Machines
Inventor: SCOTT THOMAS VINCENT
IPC: B65C3/16
Filed: 1967-09-05
Abstract: 1,190,388. Labelling machines. MORGAN FAIREST Ltd. 3 Dec., 1968 [5 Sept., 1967], No. 40511/67. Heading B8F. A bottle labelling machine has bottles 6 fed to a labelling station by a conveyer 4 along a line which would carry the bottles past a delivery drum 9 without contact therewith, the bottles being shifted into contact with the drum by a presser member 10 which is actuated by a pneumatic ram 13 controlled by a gear-driven rotary valve (not shown) so that each bottle contacts the middle of a label 11. The trailing half of each label is applied to a bottle by rolling of the bottle between the presser member and the drum, and the leading half 11A of the label is subsequently rolled on to the bottle by rolling of the bottle between a stationary presser member 17 and a belt 18 having its operative run 19 driven in the same direction as the conveyer. The feed of the labels from stacks 20a, 20b to the delivery drum 9 is described in Specification 777,133. The bottles are spaced on the in-feed portion of the conveyer by a worm 8, and are oriented by means of a belt 28 having a run 29 contacting the side of the bottles and driven in the opposite direction to the conveyer to rotate the bottles until a location projection 27 on each bottle engages a stop 24 carried by a belt 25. A series of rollers 30 on a chain 31 are adjustable relative to the feed worm 8 for setting in accordance with the nominal diameter of the bottles and provide back support for the bottles without impeding their rotation to effect orientation. Between the feed worm and the drum 9, the bottles are maintained in their oriented positions by a belt 34 having spring-loaded shoes urging the lower run of the belt downwardly so as to press on the bottles and clamp them to the conveyer. The feed worm and stops 24 are adjustable with respect to the conveyer in accordance with the bottle diameter. At the out-feed portion of the conveyer the stationary presser member 17 comprises a rigid back plate with a resilient layer and aflexible bottle contacting cover, and is adjustable, as is the belt 18, in accordance with the bottle diameter.

Filed: 1974-09-17
Abstract: 1478684 Automatic control XEROX CORP 17 Sept 1974 [1 Oct 1973] 40543/74 Heading G3N [Also in Division B8]  Apparatus for processing information obtained from a computer printout which includes labels to be applied to articles comprises a device for clocking signals representative of the information, a commutator co-operating with the signal clocking device to effect actuation thereof, and a device for effecting relative reciprocal movement between the commutator and the clocking device. This prevents erroneous reading of information arising from machine shake or backlash. A labelling head 21 includes a label transfer wheel 20, radially projecting shoes 26 for placing labels 30 in contact with articles passing below the wheel and feed tractors 35, 35' which co-operate with perforations 33' for feeding the label form 31. Margins 33 of the label form are removed by trimming knives 70, 70' and a guillotine (34), Fig. 1 (not shown) is used to cut the form transversely to its direction of movement to provide strips 32. Feed rollers 39, (40) feed the strips to a rotary knife (41) and the cut labels are advanced by rolls (42), 43 to the shoes 26 and held thereon by vacuum. Coded indicia 166, 168 are provided in the margin of the label form and are sensed by a photo-cell scanner 170 to determine registration of the label form and to indicate in which column particular information is to be found. Electrical signals generated by the indicia are utilized by a control 180, Fig. 4, and made available by a clocking arrangement 182 comprising a pair of photo-cells 184, 186. The photo-cells are mounted on a variable position support 190 having an arcuate shot 194 and fastener 196. A commutator 198 is connected to a ratchet mechanism 158 for reciprocal movement therewith and comprises a base 200 and two groups of fingers 204, 206. The fingers are provided to accommodate different print spacings on the label form 31. If the length of label feed is to be varied the photo-cells 184, 186 are repositioned so that the first finger of one group is in line with the photo-cell 184 simultaneously with the first line of coded indicia being in line with the scanner. The commutator is rendered inoperative by a blanking cam and photo-cell arrangement 210. This prevents transmission of generated signals on the return stroke of the commutator. The information derived from the scanner 170 is contained within shift registers 228, 232. Output signal 236 of shift register 232 is effective to cut out article feed for a predetermined time period to provide a space between articles in particular groups.

Title: Automatically controlled calculating apparatus
IPC: G11C17/00
Filed: 1969-08-19
Abstract: 1,243,861. Digital electric computer. WANG LABORATORIES Inc. 19 Aug., 1969 [21 Aug., 1968], No. 41363/69. Heading G4A. The invention relates to a computer having a manual keyboard and a plurality of reader units supplying instructions to the computer and arranged so that only one reader at a time is operative. The computer is similar to that described in Specifications 1,071,726 and 1,160,612 and performs certain arithmetic operations by obtaining the logarithm of each entered number and adding to perform multiplication, subtracting to divide and shifting binary digits to form squares or square roots. Card reader units similar to that described in Specification 1,160,612 are used. Each card reader receives addressing signals from a counter on lines 270 and supplies data on lines 274 and 282 under the control of signals from the computer on lines 278, and 286 respectively. Data is passed to an input register in the computer. Each card reader is controlled by a flip-flop 292 set by a signal on line 294 and which conditions gates 280, 288, lights an indicator lamp 299 and energizes a diode matrix in the card reader. The flip-flop is reset by a signal on line 297, the resetting operation producing a pulse supplied to the set terminal of the succeeding reader. The control logic circuit of the computer (Fig. 10) receives codes from either the keyboard or an input register 206 receiving data fromthe reader. Control flip-flops 350-358 are operative when receiving the codes shown in the boxes and are a main control, a search control, a return control, a mark control and a verify programme control respectively. Flipflop 350 is set by depression of key 242 and if no card reader is on, indicated by no signal on line 296 a signal is sent to set the control flipflop in the first reader. Normally, addresses from a counter 210 are sent to the card reader and the data is supplied to the input register 206. If the calculator is required, timing signals are stopped. The programme counter 210 continues until a stop code (26) is obtained or the last address clears all the card reader flip-flops. A search code (52) on the card initiates a search for an item specified in the address of a subroutine following the search code. A search for a mark code (54) is then made and each data item associated therewith is compared with the required item which is stored in the input register. If a search and return code (53) is provided, the content of the counter is stored in register 344 so that the programme can be returned to the address following the search code address.

Abstract: 920,368. Concentrating ores. MINERAL DEPOSITS PTY. Ltd. Dec. 2, 1960 [Dec. 24, 1959], No. 41659/60. Class 117. In a method of wet gravity concentration of granular ores, the depth of a stream of ore 15, fed from a plurality of circumferential openings 13 on to a fanning cone 14, is decreased until it is substantially one particle thick at the bottom of the cone. The stream then drops off on to a concentrator cone 17 where the depth is increased, the heavier particles keeping in the lower stratum. The upper, tailings, stratum is cut off by a cylindrical slicer sleeve 21 and passes down through 21 while the lower stratum, or concentrates, are disposed of in an annular launder 23. The slicer is made so that it can be adjusted vertically so that the knife part 25, which is preferably readily removable for sharpening, may part off the desired depth of the stream. The angle of the cones will vary with the concentration of the feed, a slope of 15-20 degrees being described as suitable for a concentration of 40-60% solids. Fig. 4 (not shown) depicts a multiple unit for more accurate working and Fig. 5 and 11 (not shown) depict flow sheets for multiple unit operation. In a multiple unit operation both the tailings and the concentrate are subjected to further separation which is illustrated in Figs. 4-9 (not shown). For use on board ship the apparatus may be mounted in a gimbal mounting, Fig. 10 (not shown).

Title: Control valve and system
IPC: B60T17/08
Filed: 1966-09-21
Abstract: 1,112,330. Valves; fluid pressure brakes. WAGNER ELECTRIC CORPORATION. 21 Sept., 1966 [3 Dec., 1965], No. 42099/66. Headings F2F and F2V. A control valve for a pneumatic braking system comprises a first valve 53 controlling the connection of a brake cylinder port 13 to a supply port 8 or exhaust port 45 in response to movement of a piston 55 by a brake pedal engaging a spring 60, in a well-known manner, and an emergency valve 82. Under normal conditions, the valve 82 engages a seat 66 on the housing so that a secondary supply connected to inlet port 17 flows through ports 75 of a piston member 70 and past valve seat 74 to chamber 80 which has an outlet port 21 connected to a spring-loaded piston of the brake cylinder whereby the piston is moved against the spring to disengage from a diaphragm actuated by the first valve 53. If the first supply fails, continued movement of the brake pedal causes piston 55 to engage an abutment 90 of a rod 86 to move the piston member 70 downwards whereby the seat 74 engages the valve 82 and lifts it off the seat 66 thus connecting the port 21 to exhaust 45. The reduction in pressure at the port 21 allows the piston of the brake cylinder to move against the spring to apply the brakes. After the piston 70 has engaged the valve 82, the pressure area subjected to the inlet pressure increases and the valve laps to close the outlet 21 from supply end exhaust. Further movement of the pedal will increase the braking action. Fig. 1 (not shown) illustrates the air circuit in which a compressor (2) supplies a main reservoir (4) which feed reservoirs (10), (18). The reservoir (10) is connected to inlet port 8 and the reservoir (16) is connected to port 17. Port 21 of the valve is connected through a push-pull valve (23) to the brake cylinder (15). The push pull valve may  be actuated to vent the line to the cylinder (15) for parking.
