Patent GB-1355571-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for continuously packaging clusters of articles
IPC: B65B35/54
Filed: 1971-06-18
Abstract: 1355571 Wrapping; endless conveyers R H GANZ 18 June 1971 [22 June 1970] 28719/71 Headings B8A and B8C In a machine for wrapping spaced clusters of cans moving on conveyers a bar 33 pulls a loop of shrinkable sheet material through the space between two adjacent clusters and under the front cluster, and a cutter 182 severs the loop adjacent the bar to form a flap 179 for the back and part of the underneath of the front cluster and a flap 180 for the front and part of the underneath of the back cluster. There are a plurality of bars 33, each bar 33 being mounted with a spacer bar 33<SP>1</SP> on arms which are pivotally connected to links of an endless chain disposed above the wrapping zone. A plurality of cams (Figs. 14 and 15, not shown) control the pivoting of the arms to cause bars 33 to move downwardly between a pair of clusters, to support the rear cans of the clusters during wrapping with bars 33<SP>1</SP> being positioned between adjacent clusters, and then to retract. The front cans of the clusters are supported on plates 158 connected to links of a chain 131. Bars 178 on a chain 146 moving faster than the cluster conveying speed support the rear cans before bars 33 take over, while plate 170 and bars 173-175 on a chain 140 support the rear cans after bars 33 are retracted. The or each cutter 182 comprise an electrically heated wire mounted on a rotatable shaft and arranged to engage the sheet material in a groove 38 of each bar 33 while the material is tensioned by a bar 185 associated with the or each cutter. The end 186 of each flap 179 is blown by an air jet 39 against the bottom of the cluster and held there by a plate 40 pivoted to the plate 158 at the front of the cluster and cammed upwardly. A plate 167 laps the flap 180 over flap 179 as the clusters move off plates 158. Rods (124-126, Fig. 6, not shown) on an endless chain engage the top of the cans during the wrapping. A card may be put on the top of each cluster before the wrapping step. After wrapping a pin hole may be made in the sheet material coinciding with finger holes in the card before the clusters are passed through an oven. In a modification the wrapping zone may be shortened by omitting conveyer chains 140 and having the air jets coming from a stationary sprocket shaft 138. The cans are formed into clusters by a plurality of chain conveyers which feed the cans into and through a guide path 52 which converges from a width greater to a width less than three can diameters so that cans 66 in the middle row are disposed in the interstices between the cans in the outer rows. As the path subsequently diverges the cans in the middle row (or in the outer rows) are speeded up to align the cans in all three rows. The cans are then moved on to faster moving conveyers to separate the cans into clusters.

Title: Improvements in automatic couplings, in particular central buffer couplings for railway and like vehicles
IPC: B61G3/16
Filed: 1935-10-18
Abstract: 442,723. Automatic couplings for railway &c. vehicles. KRUPP AKT.-GES., F., Essen, Germany. Oct. 18, 1935, No. 28814. Convention date, Oct. 26, 1934. [Class 103 (v)] Relates to automatic couplings for railway &c. vehicles of the rigid jaw type in which the heads 1 are maintained in the coupled position by means of locking members 3 associated with a releasing gear 9, 12, both parts being influenced by a spring 7 and adapted to assume three positions, viz., a coupling position, a disengaged position, and a buffer or shunting position. According to the invention, when the coupling is in the disengaged position, Fig. 2, the spring 7 influences the releasing gear in a sense which tends to bring the locking member into the coupling position (Fig. 1, not shown), while, when the coupling is in the buffer position, Fig. 3, the spring is arranged to act upon the releasing gear in the reverse sense. The spring 7 is guided by a rod 6 pivoted to the hinged locking-pawl 3 and bears against a hinged lever 8, the free end of which contacts with one arm 10 of a cam lever 10, 12 fixed to the releasing lever 9. The other arm 12 is adapted to actuate the locking-pawl 3 through the medium of a lug 13 in the pawl which, near its extremity, is provided with a notch 14. In effecting a coupling, the pawl 3 is pressed backwards against the action of the spring 7, and then springs forwards again into a recess 4 on the opposed head to maintain the coupling. The pawl is released from this position and brought to its disengaged position, Fig. 2, by rotating the lever 9, the end of the arm 12 of the cam lever entering the notch 14. In the actual separation of the heads from this position, the pawls 3 are pushed further inwards, the arm 12 is released from the notch 14, and the spring 7 restores the lever 9 and pawl 3 to the coupling position. By rotating the lever 9 beyond the disengaged position, Fig. 2, the pawl 3 may be withdrawn entirely into its recess, the arm 12 may bear against the end of the lug 13, Fig. 3, and the lever 8 may press upon the arm 10 of the cam lever so as to prevent any tendency of the parts to be accidentally disengaged from such buffer or shunting position.
