Title: Improvements in or relating to wrapping machines
IPC: B65B11/34
Filed: 1927-04-19
Abstract: 293,907. Rose, A. G., and Rose Bros. (Gainsborough), Ltd. April 19, 1927. Packeting by wrapping-up. - Relates to machines, for wrapping caramels and the like, and of the type having an intermittently moving carrier wheel with peripheral receiving pockets, and in which a wrapper is located in front of a pocket so that a pusher feeds a caramel and the wrapper into a pocket to commence the folding, a movable abutment engaging the wrapper immediately behind the caramel to maintain it in position. As arranged for operation in a machine of the type described in Specification 150,076, a caramel and wrapper 64 are located in front of the path of a reciprocating plunger 46. During the travel of the plunger to the left, Fig. 4, members 60, 61, 63 assist in maintaining the wrapper and caramel in correct relative position. The members 63, Fig. 3, lie in the path of the plunger 46 and support the back of the wrapper where the caramel is located, and the members 60, 61 form two pairs of wrapper grippers on each side of the path of the plunger. The plunger 46 is mounted on a parallel movement 47, 48 and is actuated by a cam 53, Fig. 4, and at the same moment the members 60 are moved to the left by the action of a spring 79 upon an arm 78. A spring 85 is interposed between the arm 78 and the arms 75 carrying the members 60 so that a yielding pressure is exerted. The return movement is effected by the action of a cam on an arm 80, causing a lug 83 to engage a pin 76 on the arms 75, this arrangement allowing a certain amount of lost movement. The members 61, 63 are mounted on arms 67 rotatable about a shaft 69 and are actuated by a spring acting upon an arm 70 with a roller 71 bearing upon a cam. After the caramel and wrapper have been introduced into the pocket the members 46, 60, 61, 63 move into the positions shown in Fig. 7, and the carrier wheel 10 moves through one step before the cycle is repeated. The folding is completed and ejections takes place at subsequent positions of the wheel.

Title: Improved bistable arrangement
IPC: H03K3/037
Filed: 1965-03-12
Abstract: 1,106,055. Bi-stable circuits. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. 12 March, 1965 [20 March, 1964], No. 10554/65. Heading H3T. A bi-stable circuit comprises three NOR gates 10, 12, 14 (Fig. 1) the outputs of the first two being coupled via an OR gate 16 to the input of the third and the output of the third being fed into the second. Reset pulses of the same polarity as the significant output of the NOR gates are applied to the second gate and strobe pulses of the opposite polarity are applied to the first gate. Set pulses 66 provide the correct initial condition. When a transistor circuit (Fig. 4, not shown) is used for the NOR gate, the OR gate 16 can be omitted and the outputs of the first two NOR gates applied to separate inputs of the third (Fig. 6, not shown); in this case no (0) output is available. Alternatively, the outputs of the NOR gates can be directly connected together. In operation, the circuit is initially in the " reset " state giving a low output at (0) and a high output at (1), i.e. NOR gate 12 gives a low output and NOR gate 14 a high output. The information signal is absent (low), so after inversion at 20 it gives a high input to NOR gate 10, keeping the output low. The positive reset and negative strobe pulses have no effect on the respective NOR gates. If the information signal now occurs, no effect will be produced until the strobe pulse also goes low, when NOR gate 10 changes to a high output. This changes over the third NOR gate to change the (1) output to low. At the termination of the next reset pulse the second NOR gate changes to high, while the termination of the strobe pulse changes the first NOR gate to low. The end of the strobe pulse is delayed with respect to the reset pulse so that the input to the third gate remains high and the (1) output remains low. No further change takes place until the information signal ceases, when the above cycle takes place in reverse. If there are several information inputs (Fig. 7, not shown), each one is fed to a separate NOR gate 10, the outputs going to separate inputs of the OR gate or being connected together. The strobe pulses are fed to the separate gates in parallel.
