PROVISIONAL DIUITIATION.
An Improved Packer for Dry Materials, such as White Lead, Colors,
Clays, and the like.
RALPH ATKINSON YOUNG, General Manager, 27, Osborne Road, Jesmond,
Newcastle-on-Tyne, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
An improved packer for dry materials such as white lead, colors, clays and the
like to mechanically pack the material into, either packages or suitable vessels
such as barrels, kegs, boxes and the like.
I use a vertical shaft moving in suitable bearings and having at its base a
rammer with two or more wings.
The motion of this vertical shaft is contributed by means of one or more cams
working on a horizontal spindle or shaft and these cams engage with a loose disc
which holds the vertical shaft and lifts same. This disc is so constructed that
it grips the shaft when the disc is lifted and this grip is obtained either by the
simple action of the cam pressing up the disc at a point away from its centre or
by means of wedges or like method of gripping the shaft. This shaft is lifted
at each stroke the entire length of the throw of the cam and always commences
its rise from the position which it has taken upon the material which is under
its base. Another motion is also contributed to the rammer, being the circular
movement caused by the cam (acting away from the centre of the vertical shaft)
which moves the rammer round, stroking the surface of the material that is
feeding into the vessel that is being filled and keeping it level.
A lever is so arranged that it releases the clutch at any point and another lever
is fitted to hold the shaft in any position by supporting the disc.

I use a vertical shaft moving in suitable bearings and having at its base a
rammer with two or more wings.
The motion of this vertical shaft is contributed by means of one or more cams
working on a horizontal spindle or shaft and these cams engage with a loose disc
which holds the vertical shaft and lifts the same. This disc is so constructed
that it grips the shaft when, the disc is lifted and this grip is obtained
by means of wedges or like method of gripping the shaft. This shaft is lifted
at each stroke the entire length of the throw of the cam and always commences
its rise from the position which it has taken upon the material which is under

movement caused by the cam (acting away from the centre of the vertical shaft)
which moves the rammer round stroking the surface of the material that is
feeding into the vessel which is being filled and keeping it level.
A lever is so arranged that it releases the wedges at any point allowing the
shaft to fall until it is in any desired position and another lever is fitted to hold
the shaft in any position by supporting the dise and keeping it clear of the cam
when so required. Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows the packer
complete. A being the vertical shaft, B B bearings for the same, ( rammer at

wedges to grip shaft, I lever to release wedges, I, I lever to hold shaft in any
position by supporting the disc.
Figures 2, 3 and 4, show the disc F, F, and wedges G, Gin detail. A vertical
shaft H lever to release wedges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is: :―
The apparatus for mechanically packing dry materials such as white lead colours
clays and the like into suitable vessels such as barrels kegs boxes and the like
substantially as described the novelty being that the shaft with rammer attached
is lifted at each stroke the entire length of the throw of the cam and always com-
mences its rise from the position which it has taken upon the material which is
under its base
