Filed: 1964-03-11
Abstract: 1,034,915. Packaging machine. INTERNATIONAL MACHINERY CORPORATION S.A. March 11, 1964 [March 12, 1963], No. 10226/64. Heading B8C. [Also in Division A2] A machine for vacuumizing and gassing a filled container includes an open-ended treating chamber conveyed along a pre determined path, means for positioning a container therein and closing the chamber lower end and a cover for the cham ber upper end which seals in during a major part of its move ment during which period air is removed from the chamber and replaced by an inert gas after which said cover is re moved before the chamber reaches a container closing zone A turret 11 intermittently driven by a Geneva gear is pro vided with an annular plate carrying a plurality of chambers 14. Positioned below the chambers are the container supports and bottom sealing members 13 which are raised into contact with the chambers by means acting on shafts 136. The chamber covers 16 are secured to a chain 17, dependent from a fixed support plate 56, and are driven around the outside of a track 181, Fig. 2 (not shown), so that they are positioned over the chambers, except in the vicinity of the closing zone B where they are diverted by a sprocket 189. The covers are capable of being moved vertically relative to the chain. Containers C with loosely fitted lids are fed on to the supports at A by e.g. a star-wheel. The supports are raised on to an upper cam track 48 by a platform 282 elevated by a piston 283, to position the containers in the chambers and seal the lower ends. The covers are urged downwards to seal the top of the chambers by followers 219 running on the cam track 222, Fig. 6 (not shown). The chambers are connected individually to a manifold 231 at the hub of the machine for communication with sources of low vacuum, high vacuum and inert gas, e.g. nitrogen or carbon dioxide respectively. At the closing zone each container is raised towards the closing head 19 on a plate 167 in the support means 13 mounted on a shaft 146, Figs. 4, 5 (not shown), within the shaft 136. A T-shaped slot 176 cut through the end of both shafts 136 and 146 receives a mating head 177 narrow enough to engage only shaft 146. A piston 178 raises shaft 146 to present the container to the closing head above the top of the chamber. Correct registration below the head is ensured by engagement of the shaft housing 141 by a piston operating locating rod 277. An annular plate 266, Fig. 1, is spaced above the container at the closure zone and the inert gas supplied to the head to prevent re-entry of air into the containers. After closing the containers the shaft 146 is lowered to reposition the container in the support. The support 13 is then lowered on to cam track 44, before the discharge position D is reached, by an arcuate T-shaped head 287 engaging the T-slot in both shafts. In order to accommodate containers of different sizes the top portions of the chambers 14 are replaceable, and the cover support plate 56 may be lowered.

Title: Improvements in mechanism for feeding stock bars through rotary spindles
IPC: B23B13/00
Filed: 1934-04-05
Abstract: 417,832. Feeding stock-bars in lathes &c. CONE, F. L., 129, State Street, Windsor, Vermont, U.S.A. April 5, 1934, No. 10373. Convention date, Aug. 16, 1933. [Class 83 (iii).] A mechanism for feeding a stock bar through the rotary spindle of a lathe &c. is provided with a movable rotary latch which engages with and actuates the stock feed device. The work turret 1 of an automatic lathe has a number of spindles 2 driven from a central gear 90 and mounted in bearings in end plates 6, 7. In each spindle the bar stock 14 is gripped by a taper collet sleeve 12 actuated by axial motion of a collar 18 operated from a cam-controlled member 28 through blocks 25 which are successively positioned as the turret is indexed. The member 28 actuates pivoted fingers 20 mounted in a sleeve 22 having lost motion connection with the collar 18, the fingers being moved outwards to move the collet to grip the work by a cam surface on the collar 18 in the manner described in Specification 411,899. The feed tubes 15, terminating in the usual feed fingers 16, carry heads 301 which are successively brought into co-operation with the feed mechanism. This comprises a tapered rotary member 35, freely mounted on a shaft 36 and having a groove 37 coacting with the head 301. The shaft 36 is formed as one arm of a bell-crank lever whose other arm 50 yields against a spring 60 mounted on a spindle 55 screwed into a bar 49. The lever is fulcrumed on a block 48 carried by the bar 49 which is reciprocated by cam mechanism. By this construction the member 35 may be swung aside to permit withdrawal of the feed tube. In replacing a feed tube, the head thereof slides along the taper 40 until it is engaged in the groove 37 by the spring action. The block 48 is actuated by a cam on a drum 70, which acts through lever arms 72, 73 on a link 74. In the feed direction the link acts on the block 48 through a spring 77 so that the stock bar may be fed against the usual positive stop. In the opposite direction, nuts 75 on the link engage the block 48 to effect a positive withdrawal movement.

In a flat machine, e.g. a parallel machine, for producing fashioned articles in string formation, a take-up device, for ensuring an even pull over the width of the articles comprises two interengaging combs having teeth with narrow shanks and wide heads which may form a continuous barrier to hold yarn looped around the shanks. The combs 19, 20 extend across the full width, or merely the edges, of the beds and are mounted on a bracket 11 that is raised or lowered by means of rods (46, 46') attached to spaced endless chains (38, 38', Figs. 3, 3a, not shown). Comb 20 is rigidly fixed to the bracket, while comb 19 is free to move vertically on pins 18. Displacement of a slide 12, by conventional means not described, having cam slots 12a engaging pins 17 raises comb 19. Having engaged the wide edge of an article the device draws the fabric until the article is completed or is guided between draw rollers, when the fabric is released and it is rapidly raised to engage the following article. The article is guided between rollers (24, 81, Fig. 8, not shown) by prongs (75) pivoting about the roller axis.

Title: Improvements relating to the measurement of velocities of flowing media
IPC: G01F1/68
Filed: 1954-04-12
Abstract: 761,096. Indicating rate of flow of fluids. DAIMLER-BENZ AKT.-GES. April 12, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10730/54. Class 40 (1). An H.F. energized bridge for measuring rateof-flow of fluid has as sensing device a hot-wire bridge arm heated by D.C. or non-electrically, e.g. by a flame. In Fig. 1 a bridge Br is energized by H.F. generator T and the hot-wire arm S is heated by battery 1 through resistor R2 and H.F. blocking inductances L1, L2. In setting up the equipment for use R2 may be adjusted so that the resistance of S corresponds to A in steep-characteristic measuring range A-B, Fig. 2, and R1 regulated to zeroize bridge output. In use S is cooled more or less by fluid flow and the H.F. bridge output modulated or varied in amplitude and phase-sense by the corresponding resistance variations in S is amplified and phase-sense rectified at V, G and demodulated at D to affect an oscilloscope or other indicator A. In a null method of operation the point A in Fig. 2 is kept fixed by varying R2 to zeroize the bridge output so that the amount of adjustment of R2 is a measure of the rate of fluid flow. The output instrument A may be a moving-coil/ potentiometer device automatically controlling R2. The detector S may be associated with a thermo couple Th, Fig. 4, so that the temperature of the flowing fluid is sensed by Th and indicated on a second instrument A via amplifier/phase-sense rectifier/demodulator apparatus Gth. A correction derived from the second instrument A is then applied to the detector S, instrument A, to obtain a true measure of fluid speed. The amplifier &c. apparatus Gs for the detector S may be series connected with Gth so that a single instrument A indicates fluid speed directly and independently of temperature variation of the fluid. The Th and S variations may be recorded side-by-side on a single recording strip. The apparatus Gth in Fig. 4 may be as shown, Fig. 3, wherein the Th output is modulated in a ring modulator M and fed through amplifier/phase sense rectifier VG and demodulator D.
