Title: A Machine for Sorting Conical Tubes.
Inventor: VENE LUIGI
IPC: B65B19/34
Filed: 1910-07-16
Granted: 1911-07-17
Abstract: 16,989. Vene, L. July 16. Sorting by gravity.-Relates to apparatus for arranging conical tubes, such as the cardboard tubes used in cotton-spinning mills, with their vertices all pointing in one direction. Fig. 2 shows a plan and Fig. 4 an end view of the machine. The tubes t, contained in boxes d, are fed by pulleys q with recessed rims to conical edges o formed by the junction of curved plates s; the tubes strike the edges at the middle of their length and pass with their bases downwards along the plates s to rocking plates t' which direct them into the peripheral recesses of rollers r delivering into receptacles d<1>. The pulleys q are driven in opposite directions by worm-gearing n, r<1> from the driving-shaft a, and the rollers r by chain-gearing from the shaft of one of the pulleys q. Adjustable plates l are fitted at the central part of the machine to guide the tubes. The inclined feed-boxes dare rocked by means of levers g operated by toothed wheels a, and the pivoted plates t' are connected by a lever n which is rocked by a lever operated by a toothed wheel on the shaft a. The boxes d<1> are advanced by rollers e which are driven through belt and spur gearing from one of the pulleys q, and at the end of their travel, the boxes contact with stops and release a lever, which locks a wheel z on the shaft e ; simultaneously a lever disengages the driving- pulley p from the shaft a.
