Abstract: 1,013,119. Cigarette-making machines. AMERICAN MACHINE & FOUNDRY CO. Sept 13, 1962 [Sept. 29, 1961], No. 34978/62. Heading A2C. Cigarette and mouthpiece assemblies 62, e.g. comprising a double length mouthpiece between two cigarettes, carried in flutes 40 of a conveyer drum 38 to a uniting band applying drum 52 are rotated before, during and after the uniting band is applied by travelling belts 64 which extend upwardly into cut-out portions 84 in the flutes to engage the assemblies. The drum 38 may be a conveyer (Fig. 5, not shown). The belts 64 may be substituted by an inner drum eccentrically mounted relative to the fluted conveyer and having a travelling periphery extending into the flutes (Fig. 3, not shown). The groups or assemblies 62 are formed in the flutes 40 by conventional procedures e.g. cigarette pairs 42 are pushed into the flutes by means 44 and doublelength filters placed in between the spaced cigarettes by a feed and aligning drum 36. The assemblies 62 abutted by pushers 48, 50, Fig. 2, are then rotated by the adjustable-speed belts 64, Fig. 7, and pushed against the trailing edge of the flutes allowing the drum 52 to insert a uniting band between the assembly and the leading edge of the flute. The drum 52 having a greater surface speed than belts 64 then causes the assembly to rotate against the edge of the flute and the entire uniting band is thereby pressed firmly against the entire circumference of the assembly. By adjusting the speed of belts 64 the pressure it exerts on the assembly can be regulated. The assemblies then pass under a heat sealing shoe 76, and are divided subsequently by a disc knife 78 into two cigarettes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to high pressure steam accumulator locomotives
IPC: B61C1/04
Filed: 1946-11-27
Abstract: 640,507. Power-generating systems. RUTHS INTERNATIONAL ACCUMULATORS, Ltd. Nov. 27, 1946, No. 35208. Convention date, June 13, 1942. [Class 122(iii)] [Also in Groups XXIX and XXXI] In a high-pressure steam accumulator locomotive having a throttle valve and a steam receiver arranged in series leading to the cylinders, there is provided a steam distributer for the auxiliaries, an automatic reducing valve for admitting steam to the distributer from the accumulator and a one-way differential pressure valve between the distributer and the receiver tending to maintain the distributer at a higher pressure than in the receiver. A check valve may be arranged in series with the differential pressure valve for admitting steam to the distributer from the receiver. As shown in Fig. 1 steam from the accumulator 1 passes through a shut-way valve 2. the throttle valve 3, a superheater 4, the receiver 6, and a further throttle valve 8 to the cylinders 7. The throttle valves 3, 8 serving as a high and low pressure throttle respectively, are interconnected for simultaneous operation, in such a way that the valve 8 opens earlier and closes later than the throttle 3. The shut-off valve 2 is connected by an automatic reducing valve 11 and pipes 12, 13 to the distributer 9 which is connected to the auxiliaries through shut-off valves 10. In operation, when the throttle valves 3, 8 are closed, the receiver pressure is held at a minimum of, for instance, 5 atmospheres through the reducing valve 11 which is adjusted for a low pressure limit of 8 to 9 atmospheres and may be constructed as a single-seat valve. The steam distributer 9 is connected to the receiver 6 through the one-way differential valve 15 the check valve 17 and pipes 13, 14. In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the differential pressure valve and check valve are combined in a single casing 18. The check valve body 22 is urged into its closed position by a spring 24 whilst within the body 22 is provided the pressure valve body 19 urged into its closed position by a spring 20. In operation, when the pressure in the distributer 9 and the chamber a exceeds the pressure in the pipe 14 and the receiver by, for instance, 3 to 4 atmosphers the valve 19 opens. If, however, the pressure is higher in the pipe 14 than the chamber a, when the locomotive is working under steam with the receiver pressure higher than the low pressure limit of the reducing valve 11 which would then be closed, the valve 22 opens.
