Title: Machine for dispensing nested articles
Inventor: SHOWELL DENIS CHARLES
IPC: B65B43/44
Filed: 1963-05-20
Abstract: 997,520. Dispensing eggboxes. HARTMANN FIBRE Ltd. Dec. 13, 1963 [May 20, 1963], No. 20019/63. Heading B8S. Egg boxes stacked within a magazine formed between plates 21 and 19 are released by the operation of jaws 62 and finger plates 22, and the lowermost is then withdrawn by grippers 52 and thereby discharged. The movements are effected by an oscillation of side levers 10 about shaft 2, the oscillation being effected by a single revolution clutch which controls the driving motor, the clutch being operated periodically by an incoming signal. The movement of each lever 10 is transmitted to jaw 62 by the engagement of roller 34 carried by lever 10 with cam 35 which rotates shaft 25 carrying jaw 62 against springs 37. Levers 10 operate corresponding fingerplates 22 by the engagement of roller 40 carried by lever 10 with roller 39 carried by shaft 26 which carries fingerplate 22. A corresponding lever 10 operates in a similar way a corresponding jaw 62 and fingerplate 22. Additionally, grippers 52 are carried by levers 10 and are operated by the engagement of rollers 45 with fixed cams 43 and 44. Operation.-The incoming signal operates a clutch to cause the lever 10 to make one revolution about shaft 2. Levers 10 by means of rollers 34 and rollers 45 operate the jaws 62 and fingerplates 22 and grippers 52. Thus the egg boxes rest on and between the pair of fingerplates 22. These are caused to pivot outwardly and at the same time jaws 62 are caused to pivot inwardly. In this way the lowermost egg box is released whilst the rest of the stack is gripped on both sides by jaws 62. As this lowermost box is released the grippers 52 are caused to move upwards and inwards to grip this box and to move it downwardly and then to discharge it by releasing it. Lever 10 performs its complete revolution and then comes to a standstill ready for the next cycle.

Title: Improved circuit arrangement for signal discrimination

IPC: G05B19/4063
Filed: 1960-06-13
Abstract: 926,526. Electric programme controls. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. July 19, 1961 [June 13, 1960], No. 20710/60. Class 38 (6). [Also in Group XIX] In a programme control system for a machine tool, the information is recorded on one track of a magnetic tape as groups of seven digits separated by packet start digits and on a second track is recorded corresponding parity groups which check the normality of the information. The group separation is defined by the presence of similar digits on both tracks and the parity digits are opposite in sign to the information digits. Signals from the information and parity tracks are fed to a parity checking circuit PCC, Fig. 1, and a packet start detecting circuit PSD. An electronic counter CA is fed from the parity circuit and after seven digits applies a control pulse to a gate GA. The packet detector also feeds control pulses to the gate GA and when the control pulses concide a correct packet signal is produced. The counter CA is reset through a delay device DC. The correct packet signal is fed to two channels comprising integrators A and B. The integrators produce a sawtooth waveform, each sawtooth having a duration and final amplitude proportional to the duration between correct packet signals, and are reset by each signal. When an information group is incorrect, no packet correct signal is produced and the amplitude of the sawtooth output of the integrator A exceeds the trigger potential of a flip-flop Q controlling a gate GAQ. When the interval between packet correct signals is further increased due to two successive groups being incorrect, the output signal from the integrator B reaches a valve at which a flip-flop R is triggered to actuate a relay W to close down the machine tool. The pulses from a reading-head RH, Fig. 2, are fed to a digital circuit DCTS and digital position information is fed to a digital analogue converter DAC and hence to a position measuring device PMD which feeds error information to a position misalignment store IMS controlling a tool-operating servomechanism SM. The pulses from the reading- head RH are also fed to a timing control TCT to develop pulses which are fed through the gate GAQ to interrogate the digital analogue converter DAC so that position information is released to the position measuring device. When the gate CAQ is closed due to flip-flop Q being operated by the integrator A in response to an incorrect information group, the interrogate pulse is not fed to the digital analogue converter and the servo-mechanism SM is controlled in dependence on the error information held in the position misalignment store PMS. Specification 926,524 is referred to.
