Title: Improvements in or relating to marking machines for cans and other containers
Inventor: WILSON ARTHUR
IPC: B41F17/16
Filed: 1957-07-16
Abstract: 848,109. Printing machines. SNELLING (LONDON) Ltd., L. C. July 2, 1958 [July 16, 1957], No. 22516/57. Class 100(2) Apparatus for printing indicia e.g. the date, on cans or the like comprises means for moving cans sequentially in an upright position past a printing station and printing means including a carrier rotating about a vertical axis and a plurality of printer units individually supported on rod-like members which are guided for vertical movement in the carrier, the rod-like members riding on a stationary cam track coaxially arranged in relation to the carrier and having a step arranged to permit the abrupt descent of the rod-like members at the printing station to make an impression on the can. Cans 7 are fed to the machine on a conveyer 1 and are engaged and moved off the conveyer on to a stationary plate 11 by the teeth of a moulded rubber star wheel 3 which is secured to a lower guide member 20 of the carrier member and rotates therewith. The carrier member also comprises an upper guide member 21 and a spacer 22 all of which parts are secured together and keyed to a spindle. 18, the spindle being rotated by a drive from a motor 15. Heavy rods 24 are slidable in bearings in the guide members 20, 21 and carry brackets 25 supporting variable rubber date stamps 26. The rods are restrained against rotation by upper brackets 27 thereon which slide over guide pegs 28 on the upper guide member 21. The lower ends of the rods 24 carry rollers 29 which engage a cam track 30 secured to a flanged portion of a stationary sleeve 31 in which the spindle 18 is rotatable. The cam track is formed with an abrupt drop opposite a printing station B so that each rod 24 will fall under its own weight as it reaches the station and the stamps 26 thereon will make an impression on the end of a can 7 as it is being moved along the stationary plate 11 by the star wheel 3. A guide plate 4 keeps the cans on the plate 11 and a spring-biased, pivoted presser plate 5 urges them into contact with the star wheel at the printing station. As the rod 24 rises again under the influence of the cam-track 30 the star wheel returns the cans to the conveyer 1. If there is no can at the printing station the fall of the rod 24 is cushioned by a spring 32. The stamps 26 are inked at an inking station C by a roller 33 which is rotated in an ink bath 34 at approximately the same peripheral speed as the stamps 26. The drive to the roller 33 is through gears 35, 36 from a roller 37 which engages the upper surface of the star wheel 3 as it rotates. The distance between the carrier member and the conveyer 1 and plate 1<SP>1</SP> can be varied to accommodate cans of different sizes by turning a handwheel 44 which engages a threaded portion of the sleeve 31, the spindle 18 having a splined connection with a sleeve 16 driven by the motor 15.

Title: Improvements in signalling arrangements, particularly for use in telephone systems
IPC: H04Q1/446
Filed: 1927-08-27
Abstract: 301,353. Standard Telephones & Cables, Ltd., (Western Electric Co., Inc,). Aug. 27, 1927. Manual exchange systems. - In a system in which calling &c. signals are transmitted by currents within the range of voice-frequencies, the receiving arrangements comprise two relays one broadly tuned to the whole voice range and the other sharply tuned to the signal frequency, the first relay when operated causing the second to become ineffective, thus preventing false signals due to the momentary operation of the first relay by voice currents of signal frequency. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, relays 8, 9 with tuning condensers 10, 12 are connected in the output circuit of an amplifier. Signal currents operate relay 8 to remove a short-circuit from relay 14 which in operating short-circuits relay 15. The latter in turn short-circuits relay 16, thus lighting lamp '17. Voice currents operate relay 9 which opens the short-circuit around relay 15 so that momentary operation of relay 8 is ineffective. In a second arrangement, Fig. 2, signal currents operate relay 38 to remove a short-circuit from relay 45 which on operating short-circuits relay 46, thus lighting lamp 47. Voice currents operate relay 39 which opens the battery connection to relay 45.

Abstract: 268,649. Wood, V. C. Sept. 16, 1926. Charging.-A device for introducing bottles or other glassware into a leer comprises a fork-like member which is moved in a rectangular path and pushes the bottles across the leer belt until a complete row is formed. The device consists of a bar c<1> which extends through openings in the side walls a of the leer and lies above, and at right angles to the path of, the endless belt conveyer b which carries the ware through the leer. The bar is provided with prongs or pins c<2> which engage the bottles n, as shown, and move them from a belt convever d on to the leer belt b. The bar is reciprocated in the direction of its length, and also at right angles to its length, preferably by compressed air cylinders e<1>, g respectively, and the movements of the bar are so timed that any point in it moves in a rectangular path. In use, bottles are brought from the blowing-machine by the belt d, and as each arrives at the side of the leer it is engaged by a prong c<2> and pushed on to the conveyer b. Owing to the movements of the bar c<1>, the prongs are moved sideways out of contact with the bottles, are then moved backwards, then sideways intoengagement with the bottles again, and then moved forwards. Thus the bottles are pushed across the belt b in a series of steps. When a complete row of bottles is formed across the belt b, the leading bottle moves a rod i which actuates a valve j. This valve admits air to a cylinder m which moves the belt b forwards through a predetermined distance so that a new row of bottles can be formed.

Filed: 1956-07-30
Abstract: 830,085. Charging and discharging condensers. CHROMATIC TELEVISION LABORATORIES Inc. July 30, 1956 [Aug. 2, 1955], No. 23452/56. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XL (c)] Fig. 1 shows a circuit in which tubes V1 ... V4 are connected in bridge formation with capacitor C across one diagonal and battery 2 across the other. The tubes are normally biased to cut-off but when a signal is applied to transformer 18 tubes V1, V4 conduct to charge capacitor C from source 2 in one direction. If the signal is now removed from transformer 18 and applied to transformer 20 tubes V2, V3 conduct so that the capacitor C discharges and then re-charges in the opposite direction. If signals are applied simultaneously to transformers 18 and 20 all the tubes conduct so that capacitor C is discharged. By this means a waveform as shown in 5J is generated across capacitor C. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) the tubes V1 ... V4 are each connected in a blocking oscillator circuit so that when triggered by an external signal each tube generates a short pulse of anode current to charge the capacitor C. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the tubes V1 ... V4 are connected in free-running oscillator circuit where the external signals serve only to synchronize them. In a further modification the curbed pulse generator is used to switch the beam of a cathode-ray tube in a colour television receiving system (see Group XL (c)).
