Title: Adjustable tablet counter and container filling apparatus
Inventor: LAKSO EUGENE EDWIN
IPC: B65B5/10
Filed: 1959-02-26
Abstract: 882,494. Shoots. LAKSO CO. Inc. Feb. 26 1959, No. 6745/59. Class 78 (1). [Also in Groups XVII and XIX] An apparatus for counting and feeding tablets into bottles comprises a shoot 16, Fig. 1, an inclined table 24 having a number of parallel channels 66 feeding into the shoot, a retractable pin at the lower end of each channel and a common gate 70 at an upper end of the channels whereby a predetermined number of articles can be located between the pins 62 and the gate 70, and means retracting the pins 62 in a manner permitting the continued progress of the tablets seriatim with respect to the several lines of tablets so that the lines are combined as a single delivery line of articles for disposition in the bottle. As described, the apparatus has several shoots 16, one for each of a plurality of bottles to be filled and there are three channels 66 for each shoot 16. The pins 62 associated with a set of channels 66 are marked A, B, C, Fig. 11. During a filling operation the pins 62 are retracted in sequence such that first all A pins, then all B pins, and finally all C pins are retracted, to permit the three channels per bottle to be discharged in turn. To preset the number of tablets per bottle 14, the position of a bridge member 54, Fig. 7, carrying the pins 62, is adjusted relatively to the common gate 70. Finer adjustments, for example when twentyfive tablets are to be passed into each bottle, are facilitated by staggered holes 72 in the bridge member 54, whereby the pins A and C can be spaced from the gate 70 to give, say, eight tablets per channel and the pins B can be staggered to give nine tablets per channel. The channels 66 are covered by a transparent plate 82 adjustable such that the tablets 68 cannot escape from the channels 66 in an upward direction under pressure from those behind.

Patent GB-609076-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to accounting or similar machines
IPC: G06C27/00
Filed: 1946-03-05
Abstract: 609,076. Cash registers. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 5, 1946, No. 6842. Convention date, June 17, 1943. [Class 106 (i)] A crossfooter controls means for locking a machine release member in an accounting machine. The invention is applied to a machine used by a public utility company in which bills are printed with the present reading, previous reading and consumption, taken from the meter reader's book. The first amount is added into the crossfooter and the other two amounts subtracted. If the crossfooter then stands at zero, the computation is proved, but if the crossfooter does not contain zero, an error has occurred, and the machine is locked during the succeeding operation to indicate the error. The operator corrects the bill in manuscript. Initially, with the crossfooter at zero, a series of pawls 70, Fig. 2, secured to a shaft 71, engage notches in discs 68 secured to the totalizer wheels. As the crossfooter is moved downwards in known manner to engage the actuators, an arm 75 contacts a stud 76 to rock the shaft 71 to disengage the pawls 70 and to move an arm 94 beneath a yoke 89. If, after the three. actuations referred to, any one of the discs 68 does not return to zero, the related pawl 70, the shaft 71 and the arm 94 are held in counterclockwise position when the crossfooter is disengaged from the actuators and when the shaft 71, which is supported by the crossfooter frame, is raised, the arm 94 rocks the yoke 89, a shaft 86 and an arm 90 into the position of Fig. 5. An arm 96 is spring-pressed clockwise and normally contacts a stud 97 on the arm 90. The arm 96 is also connected to an arm 100, the end 101 of which normally lies above a flange 82 of the usual release arm 81. Rocking of the arm 94 therefore causes the arm 100 to rock into the position shown in Fig. 5 to prevent operation of the release arm 81. Depression of a Lock Proof Release key shifts a control bar 35, Fig. 4, to rock an arm 112 counterclockwise to rock arms 115, 118, the latter raising the arm 96 to release the machine. Any additional item, such as arrears, can then be entered, after which the machine locks again due to the error remaining in the crossfooter. Depression of a correction key (Figs. 6, 7, not shown) also rocks the arm 112 to release the machine and clears the crossfooter in known manner. Multiple line bill. A bill involving two or more meters can be prepared, an error being discovered in the operation succeeding the making of the error. However, an error in the second operation of a two-line bill permits totaltaking. Disengagement of the crossfooter rocks the arm 90 and shifts an arm 131 secured to the shaft 86 into the position shown in Fig. 5. Depression of a Total Bill key returns the crossfooter to zero and rocks a total plate 132, Fig. 2, so that a cam slot 134 rocks an arm 136 counter-clockwise to position a finger 137 in front of a stud 138 on the arm 131 so as to retain the arm 131 and therefore the arm 90 to lock the machine at the depression of the " Present Reading " key in the next operation.

Abstract: 819,153. Mixing liquids in proportionate quantities. AVERY-HARDOLL Ltd. March 6, 1957 [March 9, 1956; Feb. 11, 1957], No. 7460/57. Class 86 [Also in Group XIX] In an apparatus for measuring and delivering, for example, a mixture of petrol and oil, a measuring device 13 for the petrol drives a measuring device 23 for the oil through an adjustable-ratio mechanical transmission unit 40. The petrol stored in a tank 1 is drawn therefrom through a filter 3, by a pump 2 and delivered to the measuring device 13 by way of a conduit 4, a separator 5 and a conduit 11, and the oil, stored in a reservoir 20, passes through a filter 21 to a pump 22 which delivers it, by way of a conduit 24, to the measuring device 23, the pumps being driven by a motor 8 or a handle 9. The petrol and oil thereafter pass to a nozzle in which the mixing takes place and which, when operated, delivers the mixture. Spring-loaded valves 34 and 37 maintain the pressure of the petrol and the oil, respectively, below certain values, and a spring-loaded valve 33 allows the delivery of petrol to the measuring device 13 only after a certain minimum oil pressure is reached. The oil pressure is slightly less than that required, by itself, to operate the measuring device 23 which may be designed so that, even if the oil pressure is abnormally high, it will not be driven by the oil itself. The liquid may be other than petrol and oil, and the apparatus may be modified for mixing more than two liquids. The adjustable-ratio mechanical transmission unit 40, Fig. 2, gives four ratios of oil to petrol, any of which may be chosen by operating a knob 47a attached to a shaft 47, the total quantities of petrol and oil being indicated at totalizers 61 and 62 respectively. The shaft 47 and a shaft 41 project into a casing 60 housing gearing connected to a price indicator 87 and also totalizers 66 and 88, respectively, for the volume of the mixture and the total money paid. By operating knobs, for example 67a and 68a, the positions of pinions 91, Fig. 3, are varied relative to a stack of gears 63, meshing with the pinions 91 and carried on the shaft 41, to correspond with the price of the petrol and the oil. There are four such pinions 91 which correspond to the four ratios of oil to petrol, and the operation of the knob 47a automatically chooses the correct pinion drive for the price indicator by means of cams 83a...83d, a bell-crank lever 82 and a sliding pinion 81a meshing with any one of four pinions, for example 69a, 70a, connected to the corresponding pinion 91. A. worm and worm wheel may form part of the adjustable-ratio mechanical transmission unit 40. Specification 577,032 [Group XIX] is referred to.

Abstract: 820,015. Electroluminescence. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 6, 1958 [March 7, 1957], No. 7625/57. Class 39(1). An electroluminescent device for the reproduction of colour images comprises a first transparent conductive coating 7, a photo conductive layer 6, a thin opaque insulating layer 4, an electroluminescent layer, 1, 2, 3 and a second transparent conductive coating 5 in the form of a series of parallel strips, the arrangement being such that in operation the light emitted by interspersed sets of regions of the electroluminescent layer corresponding respectively to interspersed sets of the parallel strips 5 will appear of different colours for the different sets. The device is used with a cathode ray tube presenting a monochrome image corresponding to the red blue and green component images of the picture in frame sequence and the sets of electrodes 5 associated with the colour being presented are energized together in the same frame sequence to obtain the final coloured image from the device. The electroluminescent layer may be continuous and emitting white light, it being associated with appropriately coloured filter strips corresponding to the parallel electrodes 5. Preferably the electrodes 5 are disposed transverse to the line scan of the cathode ray tube. The parallel electrode 5 may be split in half perpendicular to their lengths and the half sets of parallel strips so connected that the time in which the photoconduction effect must decay to avoid colour dilution is increased by the time taken to scan half the screen of the cathode ray tube.
