Patent GB-191009856-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Weighing and Filling Packages.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1910-04-22
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 9856. Lake, H. W., [Pneumatic Scale Corporation]. April 22. Automatic - f e e d weighers.- Relates to that class of weighing and package-filling machine in which each package is partially filled in one position and then transferred bv an intermittently moveing carrier to a second position for the final filling. The invention comprises devices for preventing the starting of the carrier before the delivery of the initial load is completed, and also means for stopping the car rier unless a package is correctly positioned to receive the preliminary load. The packages are transferred from a travelling belt 120 to a table 112 by means of a reciprocating finger 123, and are pushed along a circular track 4 by fingers 2 mounted on an intermittently rotating carrier 1. Each package receives its preliminary charge from a hopper A containing rotary measuring- compartments, and the weight is made up from a hopper B. The fingers 2, towards the end of each movement, temporarily depress a lever 27, thus coupling a clutch for one revolution to a continuously rotating shaft 16, and producing a feeding-movement of the measuring-compartments. The fingers also give a small rotary movement to a shaft 61, and thus turn a yoke 49, Fig. 4, so as to permit a spring-pressed pawl 44 on a loose plate 43 to engage a ratchet-wheel 42 fixed to the continuously rotating shaft 16. The disk 43 then rotates until, after half a revolution, the other arm of the yoke disengages the pawl, the disk 43 having in the meantime rocked a link 39 so as to open the feed-gates of the hopper B. The material then falls into a package previously pushed on to a scale beam 55. , When the requisite quantity has entered the package, a hook 74, Fig. 4,'on the beam trips a lever 68, and thereby allows a spring to impart a reverse rotation to the shaft 61 and yoke 49. The pawl 44 is again released, the disk 43 makes another half-revolution, and, by returning the link 39, shuts the feed-gates. The carrier 1 is driven intermittently from the shaft 16 through the agency of a one-revolution clutch, which is put into operation by means of a cam-surface on the disk 43, Fig. 4, when this is rotated on the termination of the weighing operation. If the weighing operation is completed before the preliminary load is delivered from the shoot A, a detent operated by the preliminary load mechanism prevents the engagement of the carrier-driving clutch, and stops the machine. Each package, as it is presented beneath the hopper A, presses back a lever 111, and, in the event of no package being presented beneath the hopper, the lever 111 assumes the position shown in Fig. 1, and, by disengaging the carrier-driving clutch, stops the machine and prevents the feeding of material. The packages are pushed off on to a belt 144, being previously tapped at the bottom by an oscillating lever 148 to settle the contents.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Liquid Transmission of Power for Controlled Movements.
Inventor: BARBEY CAMILLE
IPC: B63H25/28
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 14,763. Barbey, C. May 19, [Convention date]. Mountings.-Relates to hydraulic power-transmission mechanism of the kind described in Specification 14,513/11, [Class 69(ii), Hydraulic presses &c.], and applicable to the control gear of gun turrets. According to the invention, the mechanism comprises a driven pump connected to an engine which in turn operates the apparatus to be controlled. The variations in the pressure-liquid spaces of the primary and secondary elements are obtained by regulating-pistons moved in cylinders by an incompressible liquid. A main control apparatus, a cock controlled by an automatic control apparatus, and if necessary, a liquid accumulator under air pressure are also provided. The Figure shows diagrammatically the apparatus applied to a ship's steering gear. The pump 1 is driven by the engine 2 and delivers liquid to the motor 4 provided with regulating-pistons 5, 6. A pinion 8 keyed to the engine shaft drives the quadrant 9 keyed to the shaft 10 of the rudder. The main control apparatus 11 is of the kind described in Specification 14,513/11, [Class 69(ii), Hydraulic presses &c.]. The thread of the worm 12 is cut to allow reversibility of movement, and lost motion is allowed between the ends of the lever 20 and the rods 14, 15. The automatic control 21 comprises a piston 22 acted upon by a balancing-spring 23 and connected to the cock 28 which controls the communication between the pipes 30, 31. The pipe 3 leads to an accumulator 32 comprising a piston 33 connected rigidly to a larger piston 34. A valve 35 allows liquid under pressure to pass beneath the piston 34 until the pressure of the air in the space 37 attains such predetermined value as to cause the closure of the valve 35. Liquid continues to raise the piston until the moment at which the automatic piston 38 operates the throttle valve 42 of the engine. At the same time the pressure of liquid in the pipe 44 acts upon the regulating-piston 45 and reduces or stops the delivery of the pump. In operation, wheu the ship starts, the pump 1 and thus the engine are automatically set in motion by the accumulator 32. In order to move the rudder a given extent, the hand-wheel 46 is turned, and the guide-ring of the engine 4 moved. When the ship is moving in the new direction, the steersman ceases to move the wheel 46, and the pressure behind the pistons 5, 6 decreases. This decreased pressure allows the spring 23 to cause the operation of the cock 28 in such a way as to put the pipes 30, 31 into communication and equalize the pressure in them. This causes the pistons 14, 15 to resume their positions. A ratchet mechanism is provided to prevent the necessity of movement in the hand-wheel 46.
