Title: Improvements in and relating to apportioning machines for paste-like substances, particularly sausage fillings
IPC: A22C11/10
Filed: 1954-05-25
Abstract: 752,502. Sausages &c. filling and twisting. HANDTMANN, A., [trading as HANDTMANN, METALLGIESSEREI, A.]. May 25, 1954 [June 17, 1953; July 13, 1953; Oct. 28, 1953], No. 15352/54. Class 28(2). [Also in Group XVIII] Sausage meat, paste, &c., under pressure in alternative supply channels 22, 27 passes into cylinder 32 which rotates through 180 degrees at a time and then stops. The meat having entered the space 23 at one end of a piston 24 is expelled by the piston 24 when the cylinder is rotated to bring its opening 34 to the top whereby the pressure of the meat in 27 acts on the chamfered piston 24 to drive it to the left. Thereby the meat in 23 passes through an outflow 25 to a nozzle 26 which still under meat pressure ejects the meat into a skin 28 bunched up on the nozzle. The nozzle 26 twists the skin by its one way rotation to link the sausages, such rotation being timed to take place just after the measured portion has been expelled into the skin and when it has been relieved temporarily of the pressure of the meat in the container supply channel 33 during the rotation of the cylinder 32 which temporarily blocks the channel 33. After one sausage is filled and twisted the cylinder 32 is rotated through another 180 degrees and stops whereupon the space at the right hand side of piston 24 is filled through the opening 34 and the piston then begins to move to expel that quantity of meat into the next sausage. The drive mechanism for the filling and twisting is shown in Fig. 1, where an electric motor 1 drives a crank link 10 to oscillate a toothed segment 7 through 180 degrees whereupon through one way drive pawls 15 the cylinder 32 is rotated 180 degrees at a time. The twisting shaft 18 is geared to give the required number of twists during this time of rotation of the cylinder 32. The quantity of meat expelled into a sausage can be varied by an adjusting screw 29 which limits the stroke of the piston 24 as required. Other driving mechanisms are described such as a rack and pinion, Fig. 5 (not shown), a Geneva stop and start device, Fig. 7 (not shown) and another comprises semi-automatic and hand operated movement, Fig. 11, (not shown).

Abstract: 1,164,876. Filter-separator. ALFA-LAVAL A.B. 4 April, 1967 [7 April, 1966], No. 15406/67. Heading B1D. A hollow, generally cylindrical, inward-flow filter 1 is enclosed in a casing 2 whose lower edge opens into a container 6, which receives the material from casing 2, when filter 1 is cleaned by reverse-flow of filtrate from a downstream reservoir, and acts as a settling tank therefor. Filter 1 may be perforate metal or woven fabric and serves to separate solids and water from oil delivered by pump 17 and through apertures 18. A funnel 9 and pipe 10 in container 6 facilitate downward flow. of material from casing 2, the flow being induced by ejector 11, operated by oil from conduit 4 while conduit 19 completes the circuit. Oil, water and solids are discharged from outlets 12, 13, 14, any of which is opened during reverse flow cleaning. Valves in these outlets may be operated by detectors 15 of the various components, as container 6 is constantly under pressure of pump 17. Outlet 12 may return oil to the untreated oil tank upstream of pump 17. A further pump supplies reverse-flow oil to filter 1. Indicator 16 gives a warning or controls a diverting means if any water is contained in the oil upstream of pump 17. The apparatus may be used to purify mineral oil on a ship.

Abstract: 1342114 Card retrieval device FUJI SHASHIN FILM KK 18 May 1971 [18 May 1970] 15644/71 Heading G4M Card-like sheets carrying recorded information, e.g. microfiche, slide films, indexing cards or data cards have coded pieces 110 to 1100 of magnetic material on their front edges. The cards have notches in their rear upper edges engaged by hooks 1 retracted by an electromagnet C. Electromagnets A1 to A10 are movable towards or away from the magnetic material and a portion 7 operates microswitches controlling current supply to the electromagnets. Card stopping fingers 31 to 310 are arranged between the cards and electromagnets A and are movable transversely of the cards so that selected fingers may be interposed between magnetic material 110 to 1100 and electromagnets A1 to A10, the fingers being operable by further electromagnets B1 to B10. In operation a signal representing a desired card, e.g. 3 is fed to the retrieval device. Switches are arranged to feed current only to electromagnet A3 and to electromagnets B1, B2, B4 to B10. Electromagnets 2 are moved towards the cards and operate microswitch S2 to supply current to the selected electromagnets and to electromagnet C. Electromagnets B are moved (Fig. 4) to effectively cover all electromagnets A but A3 so that only card 3 carrying a magnetic portion 130 attracted by A3 will be moved. As electromagnets 2 are advanced microswitch 2 is operated and electromagnet A3 is strongly energized to overcome resistance between cards and to advance card 3. The card is moved a distance so that its notch 11 is not engaged by hook 1 when relay C is released. When the electromagnets 2 move towards the right microswitch S1 is turned off and when the electromagnets reach microswitch S2 supply to the electromagnets B and C is ceased so that hooks 1 retain the remaining cards and fingers 31 to 310 are withdrawn. The electromagnets may withdraw more than one card at a time. The cards may be held in a rotatable magazine.

Abstract: 1431792 Infra-red direction finders G PUSCH 2 April 1973 [26 April 1972] 15731/73 Heading H4D A method of modulating infra-red radiation received by a reconnaissance instrument utilizes a chequered lattice moved linearly across the target image field, the lattice being defined by two sets of intersecting parallel lines at least one of which makes an acute angle with the direction of lattice movement. The instrument Fig. 5 comprises a number of lenses 9 mounted on a hemispherical surface, which in combination with further lenses 19 image targets on to an image plane at which is stationed the lattice 13. Behind thelattice 13 are placed filters 23 and further lenses 15 focusing the images on to detectors 14 which are mounted on the hemispherical surfaces of a coolant chamber 28. The lattice is fixed on a drum 16 supported by a ring 7 mounted in a carrier ring 18 which is rotated by an electric motor (not shown). As the lattice moves across the image field, Fig. 1, each detector provides a modulated output whose phase relative to the rotation of the lattice indicates the position of the image on the lattice and hence the direction of the radiation source. The filters enable different wavelengths of infra-red to be used and the ratio of modulations at different frequencies may enable target identification. The lattices on the band 16 may be interspaced by semi-transparent areas which ensure an even average intensity is received by the detectors 14.
