Title: Improvements in or relating to a forming press
IPC: B30B1/14
Filed: 1949-12-20
Abstract: 684,614. Mechanical presses. CLEARING MACHINE CORPORATION. Dec. 20, 1949 [Feb. 23, 1949], No. 32599/49. Class 87 (ii). [Also in Group XXII] A forming press, e.g. for working metal, comprises two forming members 26, 26' each actuated by a pair of toggles 39, 40 and 39<SP>1</SP>, 40<SP>1</SP>, and driving means for simultaneously operating the toggles, which are so arranged that the lateral movement of the pivot connecting the pair of links forming one toggle is opposite in direction to that of the corresponding pivot of the other toggle. Thus, two pairs of toggles 39, 40, have connecting pivots 41 which are moved towards each other when the toggles are straightened to drive the member 26 downwardly. The lower end of each toggle 39 and the upper end of each toggle 40 are connected, respectively, by a pivot 42 to the pitman 28, and by a fixed pivot 43 to the frame 12 of the machine. The toggle system 39, 40 is actuated by eccentrics 35, 135 on rotating shafts 34, 134 through connecting rods 44, 45, respectively. The shaft 34 is driven through a gear train 32 by a pinion 31 connected through a clutch to the driving shaft of an electric motor 29 (not shown), and a gear wheel 33 of the train 32 drives through pinions 46, 47 a gear wheel 133 on the shaft 134. The pinion 31 also drives a gear train 32' to actuate a similar toggle system 39', 40' for moving a pitman 28<SP>1</SP> carrying a plunger 26' which may be used as a forming member in conjunction with the member 26, or as a means for ejecting the finished element. The stroke of the member 26' may be simultaneous with or advanced or retarded with respect to the stroke of the member 26, and the relative timing of the strokes is effected by releasing screws connecting a pinion 49<SP>1</SP> with the first gear wheel 50<SP>1</SP> of the train 32', and turning the pinion 49<SP>1</SP> independently of the wheel 50' to rotate the remainder of the train 32' and set the toggle system 39<SP>1</SP>, 40<SP>1</SP> in any desired position, when the pinion 49<SP>1</SP> is again screwed to the gear wheel 50'. A die cover 23 is moved downwardly by a toggle system 25 which acts upon four pitmen 19 supporting a frame 22 carrying the cover 33. The toggle system 25 is actuated by an eccentric on a rotating shaft 60 (not shown) having a gear wheel meshing with a driving pinion 58 on the shaft 57 driven through a clutch by an electric motor 55 (not shown) so controlled that the cover 23 dwells in the closed position during the forming period. Alternatively the cover 23 is fixed and the die 14 is adapted to be moved vertically, or both the cover 23 and the die 14 are movable towards and away from each other.

Title: Improved means for raising or forcing liquids
IPC: F04B41/04
Filed: 1928-11-08
Abstract: 318,427. Langrognet, G. Nov. 8, 1928. Air and gas compressing devices, application of; vacuum apparatus. - Apparatus for transferring liquids by pneumatic pressure or suction comprises means for converting one or more cylinders of an internal-combustion engine into an air pump, and means to prevent liquid from being drawn over into the engine cylinder. In one form, a flexible leaf 1 carrying two bearers 2 is arranged between the push-rods of the engine and the valve stems, so that in the normal operation of the engine, the bearers are in the dotted position and transmit the movement of the push rods to the valves. When the cylinder is to be used as an air-pump, the leaf is moved longitudinally to draw the bearers 2 into the fullline position and throw the valves out of action. When the pump transfers the liquid by suction, the chamber A into which the liquid is drawn is provided near the top with two float valves 22, 23, which rise as the liquid enters the tube 17. When the lighter ball 23 comes opposite the lateral tubes 20, 21 through which the pump exhausts the air from the chamber, it is quickly drawn up and cuts off the suction through the pipe 19, so that liquid cannot pass over to the pump cylinder. A three-way valve 7 between the connection 10 to the chamber A and the connection 18 to the pump enables the pump to act either by suction or compression. In the position shown, the pump acts by suction, air being drawn through the passage 11 and valve 15, and expelled to atmosphere through the valve 16 and passage 12. When the valve is turned into the dotted position, the pump acts by compression, drawing air from the port 8 through the passage 13 and valve 15 and forcing it through the valve 16 and passages 11, 10 to the chamber from which the liquid is to be transferred.

Abstract: 1,120,768. Endless conveyers. MARDON, SON & HALL Ltd. 12 July, 1967 [21 July, 1966], No. 32743/66. Heading B8A. Articles, e.g. cartons, are fed from a continuously moving conveyer 10 on to an intermittently-driven conveyer 13 whereby an article falls partially on a preceding article. Assuming conveyer 13 to be at rest, articles fall on to the conveyer 13 at a collating station 12 where they occupy a position 11b and interrupt a light beam 15 controlling a motor 14. The conveyer 13 is thus energized until the beam is no longer interrupted, i.e. when the article will have moved one half breadth to position 11c. The next article from the conveyer 10 will fall partially on the original article and the conveyer 13 will be temporarily driven, as before. After a number of articles, say four, have been deposited on the conveyer 13, a photo-electric counting device 22-24 causes the conveyer 13 to be driven a sufficient distance to isolate this batch. Plates 25 cause each batch 21 to turn and form an orderly batch 26.
