Patent GB-191013999-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Weighing and Filling Machines.
Inventor: HEYBACH FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 13,999. Heybach, F. J. March 31, [Convention date]. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to a weighing and filling machine wherein predetermined charges are delivered into cans, cartons &c., and consists essentially in effecting the final closure of the. valve for feeding material to the weighing-receptacle by means of the weight or momentum of a device normally disconnected from the valve but controlled by the weighing-mechanism. The bulk of the charge is dumped past a pair of sliding feed-gates 7, 8 into a weighing- receptacle 24 mounted on one end of a weighing- beam 25. The feed-gates are then brought into the dribble position by cam mechanism, and, when the requisite weight is completed, the left-hand end of the beam trips a trigger 124, thus allowing a weighted lever 115 to fall and push a rod 113 longitudinally so as to complete the cut-off. The same movement of the rod 113 also releases a weighted disk 96, which is arranged with a flattened portion 100 thereof in proximity to a continuously-revolving wheel 101. The disk moves into frictional engagement with the 'rotating wheel, and, after making one revolution, is again retained in its stationary position. During_the rotation, however, a projection 98 on the disk, first pushes back a bar 44, after releasing a catch 105, and thereby opens a pivoted discharge gate, and secondly pushes back a lever 94 and thus rocks a finger 128, which returns the bar 113 to its original position so as to permit the subsequent opening of the feed-gates. The movement of the lever 94 also rocks a finger 56 so as to cause the engagement of a clutch and consequent rotation through one revolution of a shaft 21. A cam 45 on the shaft then restores the bar 44 to its original position and thereby closes the discharge gate, and a second cam opens fully the feed-gates, and, after a predetermined interval, brings them again to the dribble position. The rotation of the shaft also causes a feeding- movement of a cam-bearing conveyer 3 to bring an empty.cam into position. The capacity of the machine may be increased by using a number of weighing and packing units such as those described above.

Abstract: 19,155. Gillotin, C. Aug. 26. Current motors; regulating.-A wind motor having a vertical axis is regulated by a windintercepting shield movable in one direction by a wind vane, and in the other direction by a governor-controlled weight. The motor 3 is mounted on a hollow shaft 2 running on ball bearings. A vane 35 under the influence of the wind tends to rotate a semicylindrical shield 1 so that it intercepts the wind, the opposite tendency being produced by a weight 18, which effects an opposing pull by means of a chain 13 guided by pulleys 15, 19, 22 carried by the main directing-vane 10. For starting the motor, a lever 33 is moved to the position 33', thereby releasing the stop 40 and weight 18. Should the speed become excessive, a governor 24 raises a sleeve 30 and links 31, 32, thereby lifting the weight 18 and allowing the vane 35 to move the shield into a covering position. The shaft 2 actuates a driving-pulley 45 through bevelgearing 38, 39.
