Abstract: 1,073,763. Seaming. D. A. HANSEN. Feb. 3, 1966 [Feb. 12, 1965], No. 4814/66. Heading B3J. [Also in Division B8] A machine for applying flat metal lids 39 to the mouths of plastics cups 27 comprises a pair of parallel racks 9, 10 with crimping flanges 35, slidden in opposite directions by turning a handle 16 so as to bend the radiallyprojecting edge 40 of each lid over the flanged mouth (41), Figs. 3-6 (not shown), or beaded mouth (42), Figs. 7-9 (not shown), of the associated cup, and seam it into position. In the form shown, the machine has a frame 1, 20 which may be secured to a table 8 &c., and carries a support 26 on which each plastics cup 27 is placed, with a metal lid 39 resting across its mouth. A cam follower roller 31 on a slidable rod 29 mounting the support 26 is biased upwardly by a spring 30 into engagement with a cam 33 on the rack 10. Rotation of the handle 16 turns a gear 17 meshing the racks 9, 10, which accordingly slide in opposite directions. Initial movement of the rack 10 withdraws the cam follower 33 from the follower roller 31, and the spring 30 slides the support 26 &c. upwards, so that the projecting edge 40 of the lid 39 is bent downwardly by horizontally inclined lead-in surfaces (37, 38), Fig. 2 (not shown), on the crimping flanges (35, 36). The centre of the lid 39, Fig. 1, engages a pressure disc 18 freely journalled upon the gear 17. Continued rotation of the handle 16 and sliding of the crimping flanges 35 then seams the edge (40), Fig. 6 (not shown), of the lid (39) to the flanged or beaded lip of the cup (27), the cup and its support 26, Fig. 1, turning freely with the movement of the crimping flanges 35. In a modification in which the initial vertical movement of the support 26 &c. does not take place, the crimping flanges 35 are provided additionally with vertically inclined curved lead-in surfaces (43), Fig. 10 (not shown), which effect the initial bending of the lid edges 40, Fig. 1, at the commencement of each lid-applying cycle.

Patent GB-397199-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to machines for dividing dough or like plastic material
IPC: A21C5/06
Filed: 1932-02-24
Abstract: 397,199. Dividing dough &c. BAKER PERKINS, Ltd., Hythe Road, Willesden, London. Feb. 24, 1932, No. 5543. Convention date, Aug. 17, 1931. [Class 87 (ii).] In dough-dividers wherein a reciprocating plunger 1 charges dough into an adjustable measuring- pocket P, the plunger is operated through linkage including a resilient powertransmitting element such that force is exerted on the plunger through an effective lever - arm which increases in length as the working stroke of the plunger is increased. The plunger 1 is joined by a connecting-rod 2 to a rocker-arm 3 pivoted to a fixed shaft 4. A resilient stretchable connecting-member 6 comprising a rod 6a, a cylindrical casing 6b and a helical spring 6c is pivoted to the rocker-arm, as at 5, and to a connecting-rod 8 at its lower end 7. The connecting-rod is journalled to an eccentric 11 on a power shaft 12 and the pivot 7 may be connected to a short rocker-arm 9 so that the travel of the lower end 7 is substantially linear. The pocket P forms one of a series of chambers adapted to rotate and be presented to the top box 21 of a dough divider. The dough is cut off from a hopper 20 by a reciprocating knife 22. Division of the dough always takes place along the line A, B. An end wall P<1> is set in position to determine the volume of the pocket P as at X for a large loaf or at Y for a small loaf. When the wall is on the position X the plunger is finally stopped by the dough pressure at a position L when the rod 8 has almost completed its downward travel. The rest of the travel of the rod 8 is then taken up in slightly extending the member 6 and thereby compressing the spring 6c such that a small force is exerted through a large leverarm L<1> during this operation. When the wall P<1> is set at Y, the plunger is stopped at S after a small movement and the rest of the travel of the rod 8 extends the member 6 much more and so compresses the spring more. There is thus a greater force exerted, but through a short lever arm S<1>, so that the pressure of the plunger on the dough is substantially the same in the two cases. The resilient member mav be journalled direct to the eccentric 11 ; it may also be adapted to be compressed in action and connected to a crank fixed to the rockerarm or connected to a cranked extension of th e rocker-arm. The resilient member may also be connected to a pivot on the rocker-arm and not offset therefrom as shown, or it may be journalled to a separate crank-arm fixed to the shaft whereon the rocker is fixedly pivoted. The measuring-pocket may rotate, reciprocate or be fixed in position. A plurality of plungers and operating-members may be provided in a single machine.
