Title: Improvements in or relating to highspeed dobby machines
IPC: D03C1/06
Filed: 1958-12-15
Abstract: 906,983. Dobbies. SDRUZENI PODNIKU TEXTILNIHO STROJIRENSTVI. Dec. 15, 1958 [Dec. 14, 1957], No. 40273/58. Class 142 (2). In a double-lift positive dobby, a roller 17 revolving round a shaft 18 displaces press levers 14 to disengage lifting hooks 21 from the draw knife 22 that has just completed its return stroke. When the roller 17 has moved past the press levers, the hooks that are to be operated on the next stroke are pulled on to the knife by springs 29, the press levers being moved clear of the hooks by springs 20. If a hook is not to be operated, a buffer 12 controlled by the pattern mechanism prevents movement of the press lever 14, whereby the hook is kept in engagement with a fixed abutment 23. The buffers 12 are carried by leaf springs 13, and can be pushed out of the path of the press levers 14 by needles 11 acted on by trip levers 7. Comb-like cross-bars 32 turn the trip levers 7 anticlockwise, and a bar 30 lifts reading needles 4a carried by feeler levers 4 out of the pattern card 3, causing the ends 4b of the levers to lock the trip levers 7 as shown ; if a reading needle enters a hole in the card when the bar 30 descends, the associated trip lever is released for operation by its spring 9. The lifting hooks 21 are positively operated on the return strokes of the draw knives 22 by comb-like bars 24 moving in unison with the knives and acting on the ends of the balance beams 25. The mechanism enclosed by the chain line C, including the press levers 14, can be lifted out of the machine as a unit.

Abstract: 405,072. Ticket issuing machines. CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO., Ltd., Titanic Works, Lincoln, and HARRIS, W. P., 52, Hornchurch Road, Romford, Essex. Sept. 29, 1932, No. 27063. [Class 106 (iii).] In machines adapted to print, cut off, and issue tickets of variable value on a strip of paper, a record is obtained by printing two tickets for each setting from the same strip, the second ticket being retained by the operator or collected automatically in a receptacle. With this object, additions are made to the ticket issuing machine described in Specification 397,889 in which adjustable printing wheels 2 project through recesses in a printing plate 7 and are locked by studs 3 on a sliding plate 4 actuated by a pivoted locking lever 5 urged into locking position by a spring ; the strip is raised into contact with the printing plate during the printing stroke, when the reciprocating carriage 8 is moved to the left, and is gripped, cut off by the guillotine 27 and issued through the channel 9 during the return stroke. To the carriage 8 is pivoted a spindle carrying a ratchet wheel 23 with six teeth and a plate 10 with three pins 11 spaced 120‹ apart and three projections 12 about 30‹ behind the pins. A pawl 25 ensures one way movement. At the end of each stroke, a fixed projection 24 rotates the ratchet wheel through 60‹ so that the pins 11 engage the lever 5 and unlock the printing wheels 2 on alternate reciprocations of the carriage 8. Similarly, the projection 12 acts on an inclined surface 14 and through a lever 17, raises a chute 21 so that it projects into the issue channel 9, so as to lead alternate tickets into the receptacle. Movement of the duplicate ticket is assisted by a pair of friction rollers 28 operated by the movement of the carriage through a spring cord 29.

Title: Improved process and apparatus for preparing sausages
Inventor: GRETLER ALBERT C
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1962-10-26
Abstract: 987,602. Preparing sausages. ARMOUR & CO. Oct. 26, 1962, No. 40658/62. Heading A2B. [Also in Divisions B5 and B8] In a process for preparing sausages and other ground meat products by stuffing comminuted meat into a mould and cooking therein by electric current to a shape-sustaining form, there is provided a closed stuffing system for the comminuted meat, the inlet of the closed system being sealed with the comminuted meat, portions of the comminuted meat inwardly of the seal are subjected to vacuum, while being worked and propelled to the mould, to eliminate air from the meat and in the mould an electric current is passed through the air-free meat to coagulate the protein thereof and to cook the meat to shapesustaining form. Prior to its introduction into the closed system, the meat is preconditioned by holding it in an atmosphere having a temperature of from 18‹ to 75‹F., preferably 36‹ to 62‹F., until the meat substantially attains this temperature. Comminuted meat 39, Fig. 8, agitated by a member (not shown) rotating on a shaft 46, is subjected to a vacuum of from 15 to 29 inches of mercury maintained in a vacuum tank 45, is worked and propelled by a rotating worm 42 and is delivered in an air-free condition through conduit 14 to a mould 47 in a rotary unit 15. As the unit rotates, an electrode 49, Fig. 8a, comes into alignment with electrode 48 of the mould whereby an alternating electric current passes through the meat to heat and cook it; on rotation of the unit to the position depicted in Fig. 8b, the meat will have been ejected in true cylindrical form upon a transfer conveyer 17. The cooking time generally is about one-third of a second, but may vary, for example, up to one second depending on the temperature of the meat, its size and salt content, and the amount of electrical energy passed through it; an integrator may be used to ensure that a fixed amount of electrical energy is passed through each unit mass of the meat regardless of any variation in its electrical resistivity. Cooking temperatures within the range 155-180‹F. are preferred. Development of the desired surface characteristics in the formed and cocked sausage is achieved when the temperature of the mould does not differ substantially from that of the extruded meat, i.e. preferably at about 58-62‹F; this is accomplished by spraying cooled water into the mould cavity prior to extruding the meat into it or by the provision of a water jacket on the mould. The mould is preferably made of a material such as aluminium silicate, nylon or polytetrafluoroethylene, presenting a smooth, substantially water- and air-impervious surface to the compacted meat. Specification 987,603 is referred to.
