Title: Method and apparatus for filling flexible containers
IPC: B65B1/06
Filed: 1981-12-16
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for filling bulk material into flexible containers. The filling is carried out through a filling pipe or spout while the container is hanging on a hook. The impervious part of the container, which may be in form of an inner bag, is fastened around the spout and kept in place during the filling operation without any special fastening means. This is obtained by first hanging at least one lifting loop on the hook before the pipe is put into the container. Then the remaining loops are hooked onto the hook during simultaneous or subsequent filling of the container with air. The loops are secured together while the container is hanging on the hook. Thus, the container will be made ready for further transport as soon as it is filled and its impervious bag is closed. The apparatus comprises a batch weigher, storage bin having an outlet into a funnel with a pipe for supplying air. The funnel is connected to a filling pipe which is horizontally movable and placed close to a holding device comprising the hook which is movable both horizontally and vertically.
Patent GB-2093136-A (GB)
Title: Servo boosters for vehicle braking systems
IPC: B60T13/567
Filed: 1982-02-05
Abstract: In a servo booster of the kind in which a stationary force transmitting member 13 extends through the movable wall, which comprises a diaphragm 9 and a support plate 6, and the diaphragm is sealed to the member 13 by a flexible boot located about the member 13 with one end portion 21 sealed to the diaphragm 9, the support plate is deliberately made capable of parting from the diaphragm 9. This has been found to reduce substantially the risk of air becoming trapped between the plate 6 and diaphragm 9 during bleeding of the brakes, when a pressure differential is created between the front and rear chambers of the booster. Forward displacement of the plate 6 relative to the diaphragm 9 and boot end portion 21 is preferably limited by an abutment 25' on the boot. In a preferred arrangement excessive pressure build-up is prevented by venting between a surface 12' carried with the plate and a sealing surface, e.g. of a lip 47, carried with the diaphragm. <IMAGE>
