Title: An improved automatic slicing machine
IPC: B26D7/28
Filed: 1955-08-04
Abstract: 771,045. Slicing machines. BONNET, F Aug. 4, 1955 [Aug. 24, 1954]. No. 22426/55. Class 28(2) A slicing machine is provided with a telephone-like dial 33 which can be rotated to pre-set a desired number of slices to be cut off, the dial returning one unit at each return stroke of the reciprocated carriage until it reaches zero position when the carriage is automatically stopped. On inserting a finger in the appropriate hole in the dial and rotating it, the finger contacts a notch 33b, Fig. 4, of an arm 33 whereby shaft 30 is rotated so that its cam 34 engages and depresses a pusher 35a of a switch 35 which starts the motor. The carriage is connected to the support of a slide 3 which is reciprocated by a crank 6 on a sprocket 9 driven by endless driven chain 8 coupled to the motor shaft 19. After a slice has thus been cut off and the carriage returns to its starting position the lower pin 40 of a pawl 38 meets a notch of a ratchet wheel 26 which is thereby rotated until the upper pin 42 meets a fixed finger 43 whereby pawl 38 must pivot to clear the wheel 26, Fig. 9. whereby the next reciprocation can take place. The dial 31 being geared to the ratchet wheel 26 is thereby rotated back one hole at a time. When the required number of slices have been cut off the lateral pin 36 of dial 31 abuts against the end 33a of the arm 33 thus rotating the arm 33 back until the cam 34 on its shaft 30 frees the push button 35a of the switch 35 and the machine stops. For continuous operation the thirteenth hole marked C of the dial 31 is fingered and rotated one full turn whereby the pin 36 is now on the other side of the arm 33 and thus does not act on the arm 33 which is free to incline and actuate the switch 35 by the cam 34. The lower pin 40 of pawl 38 then does not meet any tooth on the wheel 36 and therefore there is no eventual stop action. To stop the machine the operator rotates back the dial 31 through one full turn whereby the push button 35a of the switch 35 stops the drive motor. The reciprocation of the carriage can be stopped by rotating a knob 23, Fig. 2, whereby a fork 21 moves a dog clutch 2 out of contact whereby belt pulley 18 ceases to rotate so that chain sprocket 10 and chain 8 becomes stationary and the sprocket 9 ceases to reciprocate the connecting rod 6 &c. of the carriage. In another form, Figs. 11 and 12 (not shown) a graduated knob replaces the telephone dial. The clutch 20 and a micro switch in the motor circuit is controlled by another knob (58, not shown). The first quarterturn of this knob starts the drive motor but not the carriage. The second quarterturn starts the carriage. The third quarterturn causes automatic stoppage of the machine. The fourth quarter-turn is ineffective.

Title: Compact strip accumulator
Inventor: LATOUR HARRY
IPC: B21C49/00
Filed: 1969-05-02
Abstract: 1,220,025. Strip accumulator. ARMCO STEEL CORP. 2 May, 1969, No. 22503/69. Heading B8R. Strip material is accumulated by forming a length of the strip into a coil comprising an inner set of convolutions supported by rollers 21, Fig. 6, of a roll cage 20 and an outer set of convolutions on rollers 31 of a roll cage 30, the two sets being connected by a reverse loop 50, the arrangement being such that when some strip is taken for consumption from the innermost part of the inner set or some extra strip is fed for accumulation on the outside portion of the outer set, a part of the strip from the inner portion of the outer set is transferred to the outer portion of the inner set by rotation of the reverse loop so that a constant predetermined difference between the number of convolutions on the two sets is maintained at all times. An accumulating device for this purpose may be of horizontal, inclined or vertical disposition. A vertically disposed device 1, Fig. 1, has a supporting base 10 with its outer cage 30 comprising two spaced groups of rollers 12, 12a and 15, 15a for supporting the strip edges and a number of annularly disposed roller units 31 arranged between these two groups of rollers. The inner cage 20 comprises a number of rollers 21 mounted on a stationary central plate 11 on the base 10. For accumulation, the strip is fed by feed rolls 48 into the outer cage 30 by a drive (not shown). For consumption, the strip is fed out from a pay-off roll 22 by a drive or by a pull applied to the strip by the machine that uses the strip, the inner set of convolutions being in rotation and the outer set stationary. Additional strip can be added whilst some strip is being paid out. The effective diameter of the outer and inner cages can be changed by operation of cylinders 46 and (29), (Fig. 7, not shown). To use the device for different widths of strip, the groups of rollers 12, 12a and 15, 15a can be adjusted to alter their spacing. A micro-switch 51 responsive to a pre-determined amount of strip on the outer roll actuates feed rolls 48 to accumulate more strip. A photo-cell &c. 52, Fig. 6, may be located before the rolls 48 to indicate a strip-end. Means may be provided to stop the feed rolls 48 when maximum amount of strip is accumulated.
