Title: Improvements in and relating to the packing of unwrapped caramels and the like
IPC: B65B15/02
Filed: 1920-03-12
Abstract: 164,832. Morrison, G. W., and Clarke, Nickolls, & Coombs, Ltd. March 12, 1920. Packeting caramels &c. in boxes.-Relates to the packing of unwrapped caramels, &c., and consists in providing a strip of paper, having an upturned edge and projecting tongues, on to which the caramels are fed, the strip being cut into lengths and the loaded strips fed into a box. A strip c, Fig. 1, of paper is fed by ratchetoperated rolls e, e<1> into a punching-device comprising a punch g, a spring-pressed plate g<5>, and a die-plate g<3>. A tongue is punched up during each pause in the feed, and the paper strip passes through a die h which turns up one edge, the fold being pressed by a spring-pressed washer j<3> on the lower of a pair of rolls j, j<1>. The strip is delivered on to a table, and a plunger q, Figs. 1 and 3, feeds a caramel into each space between the tongues. The caramels are first delivered by a conveyer to a reciprocating blade p, which is tapered at the forward end to lift the tongues if necessary, the plunger q and blade p advance over strip, the blade p is withdrawn leaving the caramel on the strip, after which the plunger q is withdrawn. A knife k' on a slide k<2> is advanced against the action of a spring by a cam k<4> so that the point of the knife enters the angle between the base of the strip and the turned-up edge. The shaft k<5> is driven by chain gearing from a shaft k<10> rotated by interrupted gears k<13> and held by a spring k<18> during the periods of rest. The severed strip may be packed forthwith by hand or may be conveyed by a conveyer m on to another conveyer, adapted to move the strip broadways. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the conveyer r is mounted on a frame r<5> pivoted at r<6>, the inclination being varied by a jockey drum r<10> raised and lowered by cams r<14> acting on plungers r<12> and adjusted by a hand-lever r<18>. The conveyer r can be used to deliver rows of caramels in layers one above the other in a box or an endless belt s advanced at a rate corresponding to the delivery of the rows. The lower end of the conveyer is provided with a spring-controlled flap r<20>.

Class 117 An electrostatic separator suitable for treating cereal stocks comprises an earthed electrode plate 12 spaced beneath two longitudinally spaced electrode plates 14a, 14b having walled apertures 16 formed in them, all the plates being adjustably secured on insulating members 24. Each apertured plate is provided with a trough 72 which discharges into shoots 78 mounted on both sides of the separator, the troughs being of insulating material so that the plates 14 may carry different potentials. A further arrangement of plates 20, 22 similar to the plates 12, 14 is also secured on the insulators 24, and the whole assembly is mounted on a frame 10 which is resiliently supported on spring members 70. A vibrating mechanism includes a shaft 52 carrying at each end an unbalanced disc 54, the shaft being rotated by an electric motor 62. A suppressor electrode 82 is provided adjacent each trough 72 and is supported by metallic posts 86 on the plates 14. In using the apparatus, stock to be treated is released via hinged gates 44, 48 from hoppers 42, 46 and is caused by the vibrations to progress along the plates 12, 20, the more branny particles being attracted upwardly and the majority passing through the apertures 16 on to the upper face of the plate 14a. These particles are collected in the first trough 72 after passing beneath the suppressor electrode 82 which prevents any tendency some particles may have to leap over the trough on to the plate 14b. The suppressor electrode adjacent the trough of the plate 14b prevents particles from dropping on to the plate 12. In a modification, Fig. 7, a lower electrode plate 90 is provided with a collecting trough 102 and a suppressor electrode bar 112 having an angular crosssection. The vibrating mechanism may be of the electromagnetic type.
