Title: Laundered articles folding device
Inventor: JENSEN EJNAR
IPC: D06F89/00
Filed: 1961-03-08
Abstract: 915,018. Folding textile articles. WULFF, W. March 8, 1961, No. 8402/61. Class 42 (2). In a folding device for transversely folding laundered articles there is arranged over a converging device 15 at least one clamping plate 22 for seizing one end of an article to be folded, the mechanism causing engagement and disengagement of the clamping plate 22 with the article being actuated by means of a light beam control device responsive to the leading edge of the article to be folded, a first light beam of this device passing through an opening in the clamping plate positioned such that it becomes covered by the article when sufficient length thereof has passed over the clamping device and a second light beam being situated ahead of said first light beam. The second light beam is response to the trailing edge of the article and the two beams are the same distance from the front edge of the clamping plate. In the arrangement shown there is provided a table 10 adjustable about a shaft 11 by adjustable feet 12 and carrying a number of conveyer belts 15. Above table 10 there are provided bridges 19, 20 which support folding mechanism. Such a folding is illustrated in Fig. 3 and comprises a plurality of clamping plates 22 pivoted at 21 and facing the direction of feed of articles 23, and corresponding stops 24. Behind the leading edge 22a of each plate 22 is situated a photo-electric cell 25 controlled by light source 27 the plate 22 having an aperture for the passage of light beam 26. Plate 22 is connected to piston 30 of a pressure cylinder 31 by arm 29, the piston being moved by compressed-air under the control of valve 34 operated by solenoid 37. The cell 25 and the light source are adjustable in position. In front of the bridge is situated a second photo-electric cell 42 under the influence of light source 44 both again being adjustable. In operation, an article 23 is moved along on conveyer belts 15 and the leading edge is guided by means of guides 51 on to the clamping plate 22 in its released position. When the leading edge covers aperture 28 in plate 22 solenoid 37 is de-energized, allowing the switching lever 35 to operate valve 34 so as to move piston 30 to move clamping plate 22 upwards so as to clamp the article against stop 24. Continued advance of article 23 causes it to roll under the bridge to form a fold 52 (Fig. 6). When the trailing edge 23b uncovers light source 43 solenoid 37 is energized so as to operate valve 34 and through piston 30 release the plate 22, thus releasing the leading edge which subsequently registers with the trailing edge. In a second embodiment the air cylinder 31 is pivoted and a magnetic valve is used. By arranging several bridge supporting folding mechanism consecutively over the table the article can be folded several times. The feed-table and the bridges may be of such width to fold a plurality of articles side by side.

Filed: 1918-05-22
Abstract: 116,104. Soc. Gallot et Cie, and Soc. Poussin, Rondeaux, et Cie. May 22, 1917, [Convention date]. Electric endosmose; supporting electrodes; e l e c - trolytes, circulating. -According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), apparatus for precipitating suspended matter from gases or liquids is arranged so that an electric field separates the inlet from the nearer insulator and prevents deposition thereon. As shown in Fig. 2, the fluid inlet e is arranged at the side of a perforated tubular electrode a situated within a casing g and surrounding a wire b stretched between insulators c, d. Purified fluid escapes by a conduit f, the lower chamber h containing the insulator c being closed. The inlet c may be placed nearer the lower end of the perforated electrode if constructed so as to minimize eddies. When insulating-sleeves surround the wire at the mouths of the tubular electrodes, to promote uniformity of the field, the part of the field below the inlet also protects the lower sleeve from deposits. Alternatively, the fluid may enter at the middle of the tubular electrode and escape at both its ends. Instead of employing a part of the main tubular electrode, a separate tubular electrode may be arranged below the inlet, the fluid flowing in one direction only. Fig. 6 shows such an auxiliary electrode k in a multiple apparatus. In other modifications, the wire, below the tubular electrode and inlet, carries a cylindrical body or a number of parallel disks acting as an auxiliary electrode; or flat rings are fitted within the lower part of the casing. The application of the invention to liquids does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 293,116. Rose, A. G., and Rose Bros. (Gainsborough), Ltd. March 31, 1927. No Patent granted (Seating fee not paid). Packeting cigarettes &c.-Relates to apparatus for inserting slides or receptacles containing cigarettes, &c. into open-ended shells, boxes, &c. According to the invention, the slides are caused to stop in a position at which a detector member is prevented from making a full movement if the complement of cigarettes &c. in the shell is complete, but if the complement is absent or incomplete, the detector member makes a full movement and allows an ejecting device to remove the corresponding shell, and the slide with the incomplete complement is conducted out of the machine. As shown, a succession of equally spaced pockets 2, Figs. 1 and 5, on a chain (not shown), convey slides 5 containing complements of articles to a detecting positon A, Fig. 5, and shells 3 are delivered by any suitable mechanism to a platform 4. A detecting arm 6 is arranged on an arm 7 and is lifted at intervals by a cam 26 operating through arms 10, 11, 14, 18. If a proper complement is present on the slide 5, the arm 6 cannot descend appreciably and the apparatus remains approximately in the position shown in Fig. 1. If, however, the complement is absent or deficient, the arm 6 descends further under the influence of a spring 25, and the end 19 of an actuating lever 17 raises a lever 21 and withdraws a spray 27 so that a tappet arm 28 and lever 46 move in an anti-clockwise direction, Fig. 4, and, through arms 43, 42, cause an ejector 38 to move the shell 3, corresponding to the deflectively filled slide, to the right. When the slide reaches the inserting position B, the shell is not in position C to receive it. The slide is removed from the machine in any suitable manner. Cams 26, 35 return the parts to the original positions. The slide-inserting device may be such as is described in Specification 248,053.

Abstract: 870,983. Testing air supply to burners. ESSO RESEARCH & ENGINEERING CO. March 14, 1960 [March 7, 1959], No. 8896/60. Class 75(1). A graphic record of the air flow from the blast tube 20 of a liquid fuel burner is obtained on an air permeable screen 62, adjustably mounted in front of the burner, by treating the screen with a first chemical substance and injecting a second chemical substance into the air flowing through the blast tube, the two chemical substances reacting to form a visible product on the screen. The screen is clamped to a circular frame 60 having a hub 54 which is slidable on a graduated rod 52 screwed into a body 44 in place of the fuel atomizing nozzle. The screen is moistened initially with an aqueous solution of copper sulphate, and a rag 'soaked in ammonium hydroxide is held close to the intake filter of the air blower supplying the blast tube. The air is thus mixed with ammonia gas which reacts with the copper sulphate to form copper hydroxide and subsequently blue cupric tetramine sulphate. Alternatively the screen is coated with a solution of cobaltous chloride and is then dried forming blue anhydrous cobaltous chloride. A rag soaked in water is then held across the blower intake. The mixture of air and water impinging on the screen forms pink hydrated cobaltous chloride. Alternatively the screen is moistened with an aqueous solution of potassium ferrocyanide and ferric chloride is injected into the air intake of the blower, Prussian Blue KFe 2 (CN) 6  is formed on the screen to give a permanent record of the air pattern. Alternatively a dye solution or a finely divided solid pigment such as carbon black is injected into the air stream and is deposited on an untreated screen or a screen moistened with water for retention of the pigment. The body 44 encloses a porous bronze oil filter.
