Title: Apparatus for washing containers such as bottles and the like
Inventor: HICKFORD JOHN EDWARD
IPC: B08B9/30
Filed: 1951-05-02
Abstract: 709,811. Washing bottles. DISTILLERS CO., Ltd. April 15, 1952 [May 2, 1951], No. 10284/51. Class 138 (1) Relates to an apparatus and method of washing containers such as bottles and the like wherein the containers are carried on a conveyer in upright position with their openings directed uppermost, through a zone in which downwardly directed nozzles direct jets of washing liquid into the containers and then through a zone in which downwardly directed nozzles direct jets of gas into the containers which eject the liquid present therein. The conveyer may comprise an endless belt disc or wheel or a shoot provided with rollers. Additional jets for washing the outsides of the bottles or the like and other washing or scrubbing means, e.g. brushes and the like may be provided in the machine if desired. In the embodiment shown the conveyer 14 is made of perforated rubber and guide rails (not shown) are provided to guide the bottles in six parallel lines. A tunnel casing 15 above the conveyer is divided into zones by rigid baffles 16 provided with apertures through which the bottles pass. Nozzles 17, 18, 19 are supplied with hot water at a pressure of 20 lbs. per square inch and nozzles 20 supply distilled water at a pressure of 10 lbs. per square inch. Nozzles 21, 22, 23 and 24 are supplied with compressed air at a pressure of 25 lbs. per square inch. The zones indicated without nozzles serve as anti splash zones. The liquids are collected in drip trays 25 and 26 and may be recirculated to the hot water supply. An oscillable stop bar (not shown) is provided at the end of the tunnel to permit bottles to pass it at a rate of 28 bottles per minute. The conveyer moving at a constant rate of about six feet per minute moves the bottles faster than the bar releases them, thus keeping the guide rails full of bottles back to the feed point. In another embodiment downwardly directed nozzles supplied with hot detergent at a pressure of 15 lbs. per square inch, are provided. The hot water and distilled water in this case are collected in one drip tray for recirculation in the hot water supply and the detergent is collected in the other drip tray for recirculation. Also in this embodiment flexible slit. rubber curtains divide the tunnel into zones. The conveyer may be arranged to move intermittently and the stop bar may be dispensed with and its effect achieved by providing the conveyer belt with positioning bars, ridges or the like. The various jets may be controlled by valves operated in synchronism with the conveyer belt.

Title: A machine for the application of ornamental wrappings to products having a circular cross-section
IPC: B65B11/54

Abstract: 1,064,031. Wrapping-machines. A. DOMINICI and R. DOMINICI, [trading as COSTRUZIONI MECCANICHE ANTONIO DOMINICI and F. LLI]. March 12, 1964 [March 12, 1963], No. 10520/64. Heading B8C. [Also in Division D1] A machine smooths a previously applied tin foil wrapping on a chocolate egg or similar article, wraps it in a further foil and ties a ribbon on a tuft at the end of the further foil. Smoothing the tin foil.-The tin foil is smoothed by rotating rubber-coated rollers (5, 6, Fig. 1, not shown) which co-operate with a coiled spring (26, Fig. 3, not shown) loosely mounted for rotation on an arm (18) which is spring-urged downwardly into engagement with the egg. The inner portions of the rollers are driven, but the outer portions are free. Portions (28, 29) of the support for the arm (18) smooth the ends of the egg. The smoothing may be completed at: a second station. Applying inserts: wrapping.-A base 66 (Fig. 2) for the egg is fed from a magazine 65 by a suction gripper 64 against a rectangular sheet of transparent foil cut from a roll 44 and ocated over a hole in a plate 52 by four pads or brushes 10. When the egg has been moved through the hole in the plate (52, Fig. 8, not shown) entraining the base (66) and the central portion of the wrapper, the mid portions of the sides of the wrapper are folded inwardly by pins (68a) which move radially inwardly of the plate (52) and by arms (69). The corners of the wrapping, which are still held by the pads or brushes, are then moistened by ducts in the plate (52) and are folded inwardly by further radially-moving pins on the plate (52). Alternatively the plate (52) may be horizontal and the egg moved vertically. Encircling the ribbon around the tuft.-A ribbon (135, Fig. 18, not shown) is subsequently encircled around the neck of the tuft on the wrapping by rollers (143), (144) on arms (103, (104) to tie a knot which may be a double bow (see Division D1). Feeding the eggs.- The eggs are moved from their initial position (7a) (Fig. 1, not shown) to the smoothing station by a yoke (32) moved in a closed path. They are pushed through the wrapping plate 42 (Fig. 2) by a plunger 62 and are guided in this motion by a plunger 92 which may be fitted with a suction cap 93 serving to reduce the pressure necessary from the plunger 62. While the eggs are moved from the position 7d (Fig. 2) to the position 7e where the ribbon is tied, the neck of the tuft is held by a scissors device 70.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sound records
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1933-04-08
Abstract: 422,543. Optical sound recording. TELEFUNKEN GES. FUR DRAHTLOSE TELEGRAPHIE, 12, Hallesches Ufer, Berlin. April 8, 1933, No. 10538. Void [Abridged as open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Oct. 9, 1933]. [Class 40 (ii)] A method of making photographic soundrecords in such a manner that ground noise will be avoided during reproduction consists in vibrating a serrated screen, or its optical image, across a slit, the vibrations being produced by currents varying in accordance with the sound to be recorded and by rectified currents corresponding to the mean amplitude variations. An auxiliary screen may also be employed. Fig. 1 shows a positive copy of a record made in accordance with the invention. A number of such sound tracks are formed side by side along the film, and the recording means may be such that when the sound volume is small one or more of these tracks may be interrupted by covering one or more teeth of the screen. When this occurs, the degree of amplification of the amplifying valves used is simultaneously increased. Fig. 3 shows a recording apparatus, in which a vibratory mirror 1 throws an image of a serrated screen 2 on a slit (not shown), adjacent to which a second screen 3 may be arranged, with a lens interposed between the screens. The zero position of the mirror is varied by the rectified components of the audio currents which vibrate the mirror. Alternatively the screen 2 is itself displaced by the rectified currents; or, where both screens 2, 3 are used, the screen 3 may be so displaced. It is stated that with this arrangement, a record is produced in which the positive has blackened strips bounded on both sides by a sound curve having a rectilinear mean line, and between these strips, blackened strips which are limited by straight lines parallel to the direction of movement of the film. A modified device for producing such a record comprises, as shown in Fig. 4, two adjacent separately-controlled screens 4, 5 and a slit. Records made in accordance with the invention may be printed on paper or the like, e.g. by intaglio printing.
