Title: Improvements in or relating to measuring gauges
Inventor: AVIS TIMOTHY JOHN ARCHER D
IPC: G01N27/22
Filed: 1963-07-11
Abstract: 1,017,362. Thickness and moisture gauges. E.K. COLE Ltd. July 6,1964 [July 11, 1963], No. 27476/63. Heading G1A. A gauge for measuring such characteristics, of a web or strip of material, as thickness or moisture content, is arranged to traverse the material and has means synchronized with the traverse mechanism to vary the value of an impedance in the circuit of the gauge automatically in accordance with a predetermined programme to correct or reduce, in the output of the gauge, the effect of any mechanical imperfections in the traverse mechanism. In a thickness gauge using a radiation system, the source and detector may be mounted on the opposite sides of the material or, in the backscatter type of arrangement, on the same side as a single unit. In the arrangement of Fig. 2 the detector 1, an ionization chamber, and the source 15, move on respective rails or rods 11, 12, driven by chains 16, 17 mechanically coupled to the appropriate housings 13, 14. The chains are driven by a motor 28 which also provides the drive for the compensation unit 38, through a gear wheel 37 on shaft 36. The shaft 36 drives, through gear wheels 41-44, (Fig. 3 not shown) a disc 39 carrying a number of screws 40, so that the angular position of the disc 39 bears a constant relationship to the position of the gauge on the traverse mechanism. The screws 40 are adjusted to correspond with errors in measurements obtained at corresponding positions of the gauge along the traverse mechanism. As the disc revolves, the screws abut against a cam 48 mounted on an arm 46 which is caused to be raised or lowered, its free end being coupled through gears 50, 51 to a variable resistor 52, which forms part of the detector circuit, the value of the resistor being varied so that a true measurement is obtain in the meter (Fig. 1, not shown). The invention also has application in moisture gauges, where the plates of a capacitor are mounted either side of the material.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the transporting of biscuits or like articles
IPC: A21C15/00
Filed: 1937-10-09
Abstract: 503,840. Endless-belt elevators. FOX, J. P., and BAKER PERKINS, Ltd.' Oct. 9, 1937, No. 27509. [Class 78 (i)] Elevator means for biscuits or like articles comprises a feeding conveyer and a take-off conveyer, one or both of which are inclined, with a rotary transfer device operating between them in an approximately horizontal plane. Conveyers with rotary transfer devices between them may be arranged in flights, e.g. for elevating biscuits from an oven on one floor to a stacking machine on a floor above, but the invention may also be applied for conveying articles on one floor only, e.g. for conveying biscuits from an oven, through an intermediate elevated cooling stage, to a stacker adjacent the oven. As shown, an oven band A<3> discharges on to an inclined belt conveyer a whence the biscuits are transferred by an arcuate wire mesh band conveyer c terminating in conical nosings c<1> to a second inclined conveyer d, and again by a further arcuate band e to a further inclined conveyer f. The biscuits are finally taken from conveyer f by an arcuate conveyer h and discharged on to the feed conveyer i of a stacking machine B on the floor above the oven A. The inclined flights a, d, and f are arranged in vertical planes which may be parallel, or slightly inclined to one another so that the flights overlap at their ends. The biscuits are removed from the oven band A<3> by a stripper plate b mounted on arms b<1> of levers b<2> pivoted at b<5>. The levers also carry side guide plates b<4>, and are adjustable by screws b<3>. The upper end of each inclined flight of belting passes round a plate a<4> which is parallel to the terminal roller as at its inner end, but canted into parallelism with the conical nosing of the arcuate transfer conveyer at its free end. Instead of an arcuate band conveyer, a rotary disc j<1>, Fig. 8, may be employed as a transfer device. A knife edge k<2> and a rotary brush l or, alternatively, the .means described in Specifications 428,775 and 466,747 may be provided to assist the biscuits in mounting the succeeding flight k<1> of belting. In Fig. 10, the rotary disc j<2> is perforated or of wire mesh, and air from a nozzle m lifts the biscuits into contact with a short auxiliary conveyer n which transfers them to the flight k<1> as described in Specification 492,685.

Title: Cleaning machine
IPC: B08B1/04
Filed: 1974-08-02
Abstract: 1474034 Cleaning machine for outer surfaces of kegs AVW EQUIPMENT Ltd 2 Aug 1974 [15 June 1973] 28558/73 Heading B8T A keg washing machine for cleaning the outer surface of a keg comprises a cleaning station where at least one brush, e.g. 11a and 11b, rotating about a vertical axis cleans the keg surface in the presence of cleaning fluid, this action causing the keg to turn about its longitudinal axis. The machine comprises a frame 1 incorporating a conveyer 5 which supplies inverted kegs one-by-one to the cleaning station where two cylindrical side brushes 11a and 11b, mounted with axes vertical, one on each side of the conveyer, are arranged to be rotated about their axes in the same sense by motors 19a and 19b and can be brought closer together to contact the keg surfaces by means of the piston-incylinder assemblies 20a and 20b. A further rotatable brush 13, whose rotating axis is parallel to but not colinear with the longitudinal axis of the keg, can be moved in the direction of its rotating axis to either contact the end surface of the keg and augment the action of the side brushes in turning the keg or lie below the conveying surface. The two pairs of opposed rollers 7a and 7b and 12a and 12b are mounted on brackets and are connected by tie rods 10, 16a and 16b in such a way that the piston-incylinder assembly 17 alters the separation between the rollers in each pair and thus the rollers 7a and 7b act as indexing means by releasing kegs one-by-one to move along the conveyer 5 to the cleaning station while rollers 12a and 12b hold the kegs in the cleaning station before releasing them to move along the conveyer 6. Cleaning fluid from a reservoir tank below the conveyer is sprayed through nozzles 23 on to the kegs while they are held by the rollers 7a and 7b, the pre-wash station, and by rollers 12a and 12b, the cleaning station. A roller support frame, which may be provided in the cleaning station, is mounted to be moved up and down relative to the conveyer so that the rollers 26a, 26b and 27 can lift the keg off the conveyer as the brushes act to turn the keg. A further rotatable brush may be provided to clean the end surface of the keg not cleaned by brush 13. Brush 13 may also be rotated in the opposite direction to that described, its resistance to the turning motion of the keg improving the severity of the scrubbing action.
