Patent GB-352946-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for wrapping bon-bons, blocks of confectionery or the like
IPC: B65B11/38
Filed: 1930-04-14
Abstract: 352,946. Wrapping-machines. ROSE, A.G. and ROSE BROS.(GAINSBOROUGH), Ltd., Albion Works, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. April 14, 1930, No. 11723. [Class 94 (i).] The machine applies a wrapper to a block of confectionery or the like so that it is folded into a substantially U-shaped form about one end and two opposed sides of the block, creases and folds the opposed laterally projecting portions of the wrapper to form an open-ended bag containing the block, and closes the open end by twisting to form a completely wrapped packet. A block 37 is thrust by a plunger 39 into a pocket on an intermittently rotating wheel 20, carrying with it a wrapper 35, which is thereby folded as shown in Fig. 11. The pocket is formed by a fixed jaw 25, a movable jaw 26 and a plunger 31 adapted, when retracted, to constitute the base. The plunger 31 is positioned by the travel of a roller 32 thereon in circular tracks 33, 34, being moved from the outer to the inner position as required by arms 41, 114, carrying portions of track 46, 113 respectively in which the rollers are transferred. The first intermittent rotation of the wheel 20 brings the block and wrapper to a station where the folding illustrated in Fig. 12 is carried out. This is effected by a plate 50, centrally slotted to span the block and the wheel 20, contacting with the back of the laterally projecting portions 148 of the wrapper, while two creasing plates 56, one on each side of the wheel, are turned up from the position shown in Fig. 1 to press the parts 147 against the parts 148, and to make the folds shown in Fig. 12. The plate 50 is pivoted so as to be movable away from the wheel during the periods of rotation ; the next of which brings the block to a station where the fold shown in Fig. 13 is made. A gripper 62, Fig. 8, shown as seen looking inwards along a radius of the wheel 20, rotates about its spindle 65, Figs. 1 and 8, to hold the block and wrapper against the fixed side 25 of the pocket. The movable side 26 opens and a folder 53 rotates about its spindle 71 to make the fold. The gripper 62 has a projecting tooth 80 which passes through a gap 79 in the side 26 to ensure certainty of action, and the folder 63 is gapped at 81 to avoid the tooth, and to accommodate the movable side 26 of the pocket when it closes again. At the next station of rest, the wrapper is folded in diametrically opposite fashion, so that an open-ended bag as shown in Fig. 14 is produced. At the next station pincers 82 are advanced radially inwards to grip the open and to twist it into the form shown in Fig. 15. The closing of the pincers is affected by the action of a spring 85 and controlled by the action of a roller 88 on a cam-operated bell-crank lever 89. At the next station, the arm 114 is actuated to move the plunger 31 radially outwards, the jaw 26 of the pocket being opened to allow the completed pocket to fall into a delivery shoot 112.

A second manual lever controls a potentiometer 34 variably energizing a load solenoid 35 of the main regulator V2, thus modulating clutch pressure to provide controllable slip and hence variable or constant output speed. Reverse gear.-An input shaft 2, Fig. 1, drives a parallel shaft 6, carrying a fast wheel 16, meshing a wheel 17, Fig. 3, fast on a second parallel shaft 19, both shafts 6, 19 carrying freely mounted wheels 9 (26, Fig. 5, not shown) clutched to their shafts by the respective forward and reverse clutches CCl, and both meshing a common wheel 27, fast on an output shaft 28. Friction clutches.-In each clutch CCl fluid pressure 12, 22 reaches the clutch load piston 10 through the regulator valve V, which rotates with the output member of the clutch, and comprises a spool 13, Fig. 6, loaded by a spring and centrifugal force outwards, in opposition to supply pressure 12, to close a passage 14 leading to the load piston 10. The clutch pressure chamber is constantly exhausted through leakage and a bleed orifice. Clutch pressure is thus determined by output speed and supply pressure 12, the latter is modulated by the manually variable main regulator valve V2, whilst the speed control automatically regulates the slip to produce a constant set output speed. The driving engine may be a near constant speed engine, electric or hydrostatic motor. The servo supply pump P is input driven by the rear end of the reverse shaft 19.
