By means of a cam d' a detent lever y, pivoted at s and carrying pawls c', can be raised, so releasing the wheel s. The weight w then rotates the wheel s backwardly, and through the gearing c' the dial mechanism, of ordinary construction, is actuated. The wheel s may be fitted with an arm furnished with a pin, so as to prevent injury from overloading. The spiral spring in the dash-pot may be replaced by a weighted lever.

Patent GB-190107314-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sheet Metal Cans and like Articles.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1901-04-09
Granted: 1901-08-17
Abstract: 7314. Allison, C. A., [Small, M.]. April 9. Bending; ; flanging; metal, sheet, seaming and joining.-Cans, seamed sheet-metal wares, vessels, and utensils are made by apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4<b>, 8, and 11. A duplicate set of housing or apparatus C may be mounted on the same frame A for making two similar sets of articles simultaneously. The flat sheet-metal blanks are fed by suitable pushers along a transverse table d, Fig. 1, to a position intermediate of the two sets of apparatus C to which they are fed alternately by a reciprocating pusher. Each set of apparatus comprises a mandrel D, over which the blank is fed. The blank is held to the mandrel by a rib D' on a horizontal clamp or plate G which is spring-mounted and is brought towards the mandrel to grip the blank by a cam action. Reciprocating on both sides of the mandrel are formers F which have concave faces adapted to fit and enclose the mandrel. In the formers are recesses I, Fig. 8, the edges of which are curved as shown at i<1>, Fig. 4<b>, which curves act in conjunction with the flanges i<2>, 4<b>, of the plate G to curve slightly the edge of the blank at both sides, thus forming the initial bend of the curves or hooks by which the two edges are seamed or secured together. In the recesses I are dies K, Fig. 8, which are moved towards the edges of the blank by wedges K<1> to complete the curves or hooks on the edges, one curve being turned upwards and the other downwards. The formers F are also fitted with longitudinal slides L, which, operated by wedges and acting in conjunction with the plate G, bend the blank at 95, at the edge intended to form the mouth of the finished can &c., and bend or flange it at 96 to facilitate the attachment of the bottom. The formers are now moved apart, and when again moved towards one another, they engage with the edges of the blank and bend it around the mandrel, as shown in Fig. 8, spring fingers 0 serving to bend down the edges of the blank to ensure engagement with the formers. The formers, or the mandrel, are suitably recessed or fitted to ensure that the hooks or curves on the edges automatically interlock, and that the seam is flattened or pressed and finished by the formers. The bottoms, Figs. 13, 14, are now attached by seaming tools M, which are mounted as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 so as to be moved to and from the ends of the mandrels. The tools M carry magnets M<7> which hold the bottom blanks in position on the tools. The bottom blanks are laid on pivoted supports R, the arms of which have projections r which, as the tools M are reciprocated, are tripped by projections r' on the tools to lift the holders R and feed the blanks to the tools. The finished articles are finally thrown off the mandrel by spring strippers moving in grooves in the mandrels.
