Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for stacking articles in containers
IPC: A24C1/38
Filed: 1965-12-22
Abstract: 1,063,580. Packaging; conveyers. ARENCO A.B. Dec. 22, 1965 [Feb. 13, 1965], No. 54318/65. Headings B8A and B8C. In an apparatus for transferring cigars &c., from a cigar making machine to a container 13 in which the cigars &c. are stacked in layers, the cigars &c. are fed at constant speed by a conveyer &c. I to a carrier &c. 3. The carrier 3 has parallel grooves 9 on its top surface and is reciprocated along rails 5, 6. The carrier 3, Fig. 1, is initially beneath the end of the conveyer 1. A flap (45), Fig. 4 (not shown), adjacent the end of the conveyer 1 is normally held under spring bias to prevent cigars &c. falling off the end of the conveyer 1 and to prevent a lamp 10 illuminating a photo-cell 11. The carrier 3 abuts against a stop (47), Fig. 4 (not shown), causing the flap (45) to move to a vertical position when the carrier 3 is beneath the end of the conveyer 1. The cigars &c. fall on to the carrier 3. The flap 45 no longer shuts off the photo-electric device 10, 11. The belt conveyer 1 may be replaced by a rotating grooved drum, and the carrier 3 by an endless belt. The photo-electric device 10, 11 causes the carrier 3 to move rightwards a distance of one groove width when a cigar is positioned in a groove 9 between the lamp 10 and the photo-cell 11. When all the grooves 9 are full, the carrier is moved to a position adjacent a container 13. The cigars &c. are removed from the carrier 3 into the container 13 by a transfer plate 26 which passes over the carrier when it is stationary. Within the container is a vertically reciprocable base 17 mounted on a slide 16. When one layer of cigars &c. is transferred into the container and a pendulum 20 is disturbed by the layer, the level of the base 17 is automatically lowered a distance of one layer of cigars &c.

Abstract: 1,186,140. Making and treating pipes. S. BALMER. 23 Dec., 1968 [17 Jan., 1968], No. 60997/68. Heading F2P. A flexible hose T, which has been made by extruding an elastomer mixture, containing one or two reinforcing inlays of steel mesh, over a rod-shaped core, surrounding this with a textile mesh, and extruding a further elastomer layer over the textile mesh, is submitted to a consolidating and vulcanizing treatment by being passed, either in steps or continuously, through a heated chamber 1 containing a cylindrical membrane 2 which is hermetically sealed at its ends to the ends of the chamber whereby fluid pressure may act via the membrane on the hose. This is effected by supplying fluid from a chamber 12 via a pipe 4 to the space 6. Pressure is preferably produced by a piston 8 acting in a cylinder 8 one end of which provides the chamber 12, piston 8 being driven by a reversible air motor 9, 10. A stop valve 14 is provided in the pipe 4 which facilitates removal of air from the latter. Heating of the chamber 1 is accomplished by applying a low voltage and high current to the ends of the chamber wall so that heating is obtained owing to the resistance of the metal from which the chamber is made. A heating coil is arranged in the chamber 12 to heat the fluid, e.g. mineral oil, therein. One or more thermostats may be used to control the temperature of the chamber wall and of the fluid in chamber 12.

Title: Daisy type print wheel apparatus
IPC: B41J1/24
Filed: 1978-09-29
Abstract: Printing apparatus uses a daisy type print wheel which is continuously driven through a magnetic clutch arrangement. Characters are selected by actuation of either an electro- magnetic brake acting on the print wheel or a toothed character selector acting on the spokes of the print wheel. When a character is selected and the print wheel is stopped, rotation of the motor continues because of the slippage of the magnetic clutch. The selected character is printed by means of a hammer and means are provided whereby the hammer can be actuated at a constant rate providing a fast recovery time for the hammer. Proportional spacing can be obtained by varying this constant rate. The print wheel is mounted on a carriage which is driven by means of a wheel which engages a drive roller. The angle at which the wheel engages the roller can be varied to provide a fast return time.
