Wrapping flat articles consists in feeding an article with its wrapping positioned on top, to a first wrapping station, pushing the article with its wrapping through a frame or inverted funnellike member at said first station to fold the wrapping downwards around all four sides of the article, then transferring the partially wrapped article to a second wrapping station whilst simultaneously folding the wrapping below the article from two sides thereof, then at the second station folding the wrapping below the article from the other two sides thereof and whilst transferring a partially wrapped article from the first to the second station feeding another article with its wrapping to the first wrapping station. In the arrangement shown tablets 3 are pushed by fingers 2a towards a folding station and at least one foil and a paper blank 50 are fed to overlie the tablet at the station. At the folding station a lower transporter 9 and an upper transporter 10 co-operate to move the tablet through a folding shaft 7 which is also movable by a tappet 8 but at a lower speed than transporters 9 and 10, so as to fold the wrapper down around the tablet. After the tablet has passed through the shaft 7 the latter moves back to its original position, the transporter 10 is swung to an out-of-the-way position (Fig. 3, not shown) and the tablet and wrapper is picked up by a transport member 19 which has means, Figs. 4, 5, 6 (not shown), to grip the tablet at its ends and also to fold in the ends of the wrapper on the underside of the tablet whilst transporting it to a final folding station 29. In the meantime the transporters 9 and 10 return to their original positions to pick up the next tablet in line. At the station 29 the tablet is first held by a swinging stop 31 and a movable support 30 which also folds in the adjacent longitudinal side of the wrapper and is released by member 19 which returns to its starting position ready for the next tablet in line. The tablet is then pushed by ram 32 between guides 33, 34, the latter effecting the final longitudinal fold, on to a rocking ejector 37 which transfers the wrapped tablet to between the transport clamps 39, 40 which operate to move the tablets in jerks a short distance to the left. Application of adhesive to the wrapper flaps is effected in known manner.

Title: Slab handling system
IPC: B21B39/14
Filed: 1968-12-31
Abstract: 1,262,480. Roller conveyers. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORP. 31 Dec., 1968 [16 Jan., 1968], No. 61904/68. Heading B8A. [Also in Divisions F3-F4 and G2-G3] The positioning of slabs 163-172 on the skids 101-106 of a furnace 110 is controlled by a computer 146 in dependence on its stored data of the various slab lengths, in order to equalize the load throughout the furnace. The distribution of such slabs between the various furnaces of an associated furnace group is likewise computer controlled to equalize the load between the furnaces. Each slab is fed sequentially from a depiler (not shown) at high speed along a rollerway conveyer (not shown) to the rollerway charging table 60 of that furnace, e.g. 110, into which it is to be charged. Slab detectors 86, 96 and 98 are located above the table 60 and make contact with the slabs as the latter are moved by the motor-driven rollers 62, so as to complete an electrical circuit to a contact sensor 94, which informs the computer 146 of the slab's position. After receiving the signals from the slab detectors, the computer 146, after an appropriate time delay, stops from a slow speed the motors 64 driving the rollers 62 and therefore halts the slab in its desired position opposite skids 101- 106, so that reciprocating pusher assembly 66 can load it into the furnace 110. Successive slabs, e.g. 167, 168 may be staggered as shown to even the furnace load. The appropriate time delay before motors 64 are stopped, to give the desired slab positioning, is calculated by computer 146 in dependence on the slab length to be charged, which has previously been notified to the computer via input card data reader 144. The computer 146 controls the motors' speed and stoppage through a manually overridable speed control 148 and a variable power supply 150. Feedback control to the speed control 148, based on the rollers' speed and/or position may be obtained using detectors 154 and/or 158. The same computer also controls the delivery of the slabs on to the charging tables of the various furnaces of a group in dependence upon which furnace table is empty and which furnace is next due to be loaded.

Title: Priority interrupt apparatus
IPC: G06F13/26
Filed: 1978-12-19
Abstract: In priority interrupt apparatus, a program branch instruction address part is supplied by a device such as a read-only memory which supplies a branch address unique to the interrupting device having the highest priority. More particularly, the priority encoder (7) responds to a polarity of interrupt request signals to produce an interrupt signal (INP) and also selection signals representative of the request of highest priority. Address generating means (5,6), when enabled, responds to these selection signals to supply to a data bus (4) linking a memory (2) and processor or controller (1) of the computer, the address part of an instruction located in the memory. Decoder means (8,9) responds to address signals designating the address part of such instruction for producing a control signal which inhibits (through 10) the operation of the memory and enables the address generating means (5, 6). In this way the address part of the instruction supplied from the address generating means is provided to the processor or controller (1) instead of the address part of the instruction as stored in the memory (2). This allows interrupt vectoring to be executed by a single program branch instruction without the necessity of determining, by polling techniques or otherwise, before branching to the proper servicing routing to be executed, which device requested the interrupt. <IMAGE>
