Abstract: 808,480. Fuze-setting apparatus. HARVEY. V. P., MASON, J. A., and MOLINS MACHINE CO. Ltd. Feb. 28, 1946 [Jan. 31, 1945], No. 2494/45. Class 9 (1) Predictor controlled fuze-setting apparatus incorporating a magslip transmitter at the predictor and a magslip resetter and hunter at the gun, comprises variable ratio gearing between an adjustable control member and the magslip resetter so that the fuze setting given to the shell may differ from that determined by the predictor, in order to allow for wear of the gun barrel &c. The adjustable control member comprises a stop on a worm wheel 35 which determines the length of time of engagement of a clutch in the gear train, driven by the movement of the loading tray and which turns the fuze setting head to set the fuze. When the clutch disengages the worm wheel, by means of the adjustable control member may drive this gear train and the fuze setting head and minor alterations of the setting value are made. The worm wheel 35 is driven by an oil motor 54 controlled by the magslip hunter. The adjusting movement of the adjustable control member only ceases when the magslip setter and magslip transmitter have been brought into step and as the re-setter is driven by the worm wheel 35 the time of this occuring is varied by the variable ratio gearing. This gearing comprises a cam 150 fixed to the worm wheel 35 which drives a rack 154 connected by gearing 160, 153, 152 to the re-setter 151. The cam 150 has a sloping cross-section and the rack is adjustable laterally across this slope to give the variable gear ration, by a manually operated screw which moves the mounting 155 of the rack. Alternatively the cam may be moved according to the Provisional Specification. A ball and disc drive may replace the cam and associated parts or a set of close ratio gears may be employed Specification 808,479 is referred to.

Abstract: 692,120. Packeting-machines. MASON, J. A. and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. July 11, 1950 [July 19, 1949], No. 19001/49. Class 94(i) [Also in Group XXX] Apparatus for collocating substantially rectangular packets emerging from a vertical stacker comprises a device adapted to engage the top packet and remove it by a substantially horizontal movement on to a conveyer which is movably supported and the position of whose packetreceiving surface is regulated by a feeler which engages the top surface of said packet. As shown, completed packets 1 are fed upwardly through a vertical stacker 2, of the type described in Specification 615,610, wherein the wrapper seams are heat-sealed. The packets are transferred in succession to an endless conveyer unit 21 (see Group XXX), pivotally mounted at 23, by a reciprocating arm 3 which carries a pivoted, spring-loaded pawl 4 and is pivoted to a bellcrank lever 10 oscillated by a crank 12, the pawl being formed with an inclined surface 14 which rides over the next packet on the return stroke. The arm is urged downwardly by a light spring 15 and carries a roller 16 which engages the top packet during the operative stroke, whereby the arm is automatically adjusted to compensate for slight variations in the height of the stack. An extension 17 of the arm carries a roller 18 which engages a cam track 19 to locate the arm on the return stroke. To ensure that only one packet at a time is transferred from the stack, an angle-shaped stopper plate 33 is adjustably secured to the conveyer unit, the vertical arm 34 of this plate forming part of the fixed wall 37 of the stacker. The remaining three walls, including the wall 38, are movable inwardly and outwardly as described in Specification 615,610. The right-hand end of the conveyer unit is urged downwardly by a spring 40 and is located from the top of the stack by a roller 36 which is adjustably secured thereto and engages the upper surface of the top packet, so that the upper surface 35 of the plate 33 is maintained just below the undersurface of the top packet notwithstanding small variations in the height of the stack. The walls of the stacker are closed during the operation and return strokes of the arm 3 so that the conveyer unit is held in position by the pressure on the wall 34, and when the walls open to allow another packet to be fed upwardly through the stacker the end of the conveyer unit moves downwardly until the roller 36 engages the next packet.

Abstract: 688,966. Endless conveyers. MASON, J. A., ROFFEY, W. A., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. Sept. 26, 1950. [Sept. 27, 1949] No. 24770/49. Class 78 (i). A packing, wrapping or like machine wherein articles are conveyed through the wrapperapplying and folding devices by pushers pivotally mounted on endless chains, the pushers being held in their operative position during their movement along the upper run of the conveyers by rails or guides which cease adjacent the end of this run so that as the pushers disappear beneath the bed of the machine through a narrow slot, they tip back so as to avoid striking the far side of the slot, is characterised by the provision of a device which engages the pushers at the tipping-back position to apply force to assist tipping-back, said device being adjustable to regulate said force to compensate for changes in the conveyer load and speed. The figures show the application to a machine for applying wrappers to cigarette cartons, the conveyer comprising a pair of endless chains 1 running beneath the machine bed 2 and bridged at intervals by rods 5 on which are pivotally mounted carriers 4 for a bracket 7 fashioned to form a pusher 8. These pushers are maintained in article engaging position along the upper run of the conveyer by rails 9 engaging the ends 10 of the carriers 4 at the tip-back position where the rails cease and the pusher falls back by gravity, the pusher is assisted in this movement by a part on each of its sides engaging the end of a lever 11 pivoted to the machine bed at 12 and pulled downward against a strip 16 by a spring 13, thus avoiding striking the far side of the slot 21 in the bed.

Abstract: 622,853. Packing. MASON, J. A., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. April 3, 1947, No. 9139. [Class 94(i)] [Also in Group XXX] A control device for a moving workpiece of the kind in which a member engages the leading face of the workpiece, comprises a control member which is arranged to be moved by the workpiece, and resilient means to apply a force to oppose such movement, only for a predetermined distance so as to maintain control of the workpiece, the arrangement being such that the resilient means is adapted, when the control-member has been moved the predetermined distance, to discontinue the opposing force. As applied to a machine for wrapping cigarette cartons in an outer wrapper, of the kind described in Specification 605,899, cartons 1 are fed along a shoot 2 and are transferred in groups of five cartons to a further shoot 2 1 by_a pusher member 13. A stop 3 pivotally mounted on an arm 5 which is pivotally secured to the machine frame 12 at 6, engages the leading carton in the shoot 2 in order to prevent it from falling over. A resilient load is imposed on the stop 3 by a spring 7 which is connected between a point 8 on the arm 5 and a point 9 on the frame which is on the remote side of the pivot 6. In operation, movement of the cartons 1 in the shoot 2, is resisted by the stop 3, until the point 8 of the spring 7 becomes in line with the points 6, 9, when the stop is urged by the spring in a direction away from the shoot 2. 'The pusher 13 has a spring-controlled flap 15 which can yield on the back-stroke of, the pusher to avoid interference with the leading carton in the shoot 2. The pusher 13 also can move upwards about a pivot 19 against the action of a dead-centre spring 20. A guide 14 of the shoot 2 1 has an extension 16 which supports and maintains vertical the leading carton following its release by the stop 3. The extension 16 is rotatable clockwise (as viewed in the Figure) about an axis 17 against the action of a torsion spring (not shown), and is upwardly rotatable about a pivot 18.

Abstract: 578,330. Projectile fuze - setters. MOLINS, D. W., HARVEY, V. P., MASON, J. A., POWELL, G. F. W., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. June 18, 1941, No. 7728. [Class 9 (i)] [Also in Groups XXXI and XXXVII] Relates to fuzesetters, especially for anti-aircraft use, of the type wherein the gripping-device for the fuze ring is rotatable between a fixed stop and an adjustable stop, the position of which may be continuously varied during the setting operation in accordance with the predictor indications. According to the invention, the driving means of the setter is arranged to be rotated through a constant angle during each setting operation, in the course of which the gripping-device is axially reciprocated to grip the fuze ring, then rotated until contact is made with the adjustable stop, whereupon the rotational drive is declutched, and the device is subsequently withdrawn axially from the fuze and rotated back into contact with the fixed stop. When the rotational drive is declutched, the gripping- device becomes latched to the member carrying the adjustable stop, so that any movement of the latter before the withdrawal of the gripping- device from the fuze is imparted to the fuze ring. The apparatus is electrically driven and a switch is provided for automatically stopping the motor at the end of the cycle ; an operating hand-crank which is used if the motor fails, is controlled by a latch which limits its rotation also to one complete cycle. As shown in Fig. 2, the fuze ring gripping-device 2 is axially reciprocable by a lever arm 51 and is rotated by gearing 28, 29 through the medium of a clutch pawl 36 pivoted at 38 on the driven member 34 which is rotationally fixed on the hollow shaft 30 of the gripping-device. The pawl engages a notch in a member 31 attached to the gear-wheel 29. The adjustable stop (not shown) is carried by a worm-wheel 42 freely rotatable relatively to the shaft 30. The wormwheel is rotated, in order to position the stop, by a worm 63, Fig. 3, and a train of gearing 64 ... 67, by an operator who watches the receiver dial associated with the predictor. The fuze-setter itself is driven by an electric motor 6 through reducing gearing 11 ... 14, of which the wheels 12, 13 are carried by a spring held arm 16 so that, if the setter jams, the wheel 13 will travel up the stopped gear 14 until the driving connection is broken. The gear 14 is mounted on a shaft 9 carrying a cam-drum 19 and two plate cams 59, 60. The cam 24 on the drum rocks a toothed sector 25 engaged with a pinion 26 on the boss of the gear-wheel 28 of the gripper-rotating gear-train. The cams 59, 60 operate the gripper-reciprocating arm 51 through rollers 57, 58 on an intermediate lever 56 and spring 61. A screwed stud 62 enables the arm 51 to be set relative to the lever 56 so as to adjust the axial travel of the gripping- device to accommodate various positions of the fuzes of shells in the loading tray. The cams are set so that rotation of the gripping-device occurs between the out and return axial movements of the device. When an arm 5 on the spindle of the clutch-pawl 36 contacts the adjustable stop on the worm-wheel 42, the pawl is lifted and the drive through the geartrain is stopped. At this, position, however, a latch carried by the worm-wheel 42 engages with the arm 5 and couples the member 34 to the wheel so that, until the return axial movement of the gripping-device commences, any movements of the adjustable stop in accordance with the predictor indications, will cause corresponding rotation of the fuze-grippers 2 and the fuze ring gripped thereby. 3 is the fixed stop which limits the return rotation of the device. Starting and stopping. The starting switch is shown in Fig. 9 and comprises means whereby the switch will be broken at the end of the cycle even if the operator maintains pressure upon the press-stud 20 of the switch, and whereby the switch will be held " on " auto - matically until the end of the cycle. The pressstud bears against one end element 75 of an articulated rod comprising a toggle-linkage 78 'and an'end element 175 carrying the contactmaking members 73. A spindle 71 adjacent the rod carries three radial arms 70, 72, 79. When the stud 20 is pressed to engage the contacts 73, 74, the arm 72 drops into a groove 76 in the rod-element 75 and holds the switch in the " on " position until a stud 69 on a disc 68 on the cam-shaft 9 engages the arm 70 on spindle 71 and lifts the arm 72 out of the groove 76. A spring 77 then moves the rod 75, 78, 175 to the left and breaks the circuit if the pressure on the stud 20 has been relaxed. Otherwise, the third arm 79 on the spindle 71 breaks the toggle 78 and opens the switch. Hand operation. If the electric drive fails, the setter may be operated by a hand-crank 80 applied to the cam-shaft 9. The crank is constrained to make only one revolution at each operation by a stop 81. The crank-arm comprises a spring plunger 82 which engages the stop until the plunger is pressed in by the operator's thumb to align a notch 182 with the stop. During rotation of the crank, the change of position of the operator's hand relative to the crank forces him to release the pressure on the button 83, whereupon the plunger 82 again moves outwards so as to engage the stop 81 on the completion of the cycle.

Abstract: 18,978. Mason, J. A., and Wilson, C. J. Sept. 23. Vapour burners.-The vapour heating-device consists of a casing having a downward extension 8, or, when the device is made double, as shown, with two such extensions. Each extension has two vertical channels 7, 12, Fig. 2. Through the latter passes an oil-supply pipe 17, the upper end of which is passed through the openings 13, 15 and the dome 6. A collar 18 and a special oil strainer 20 are then screwed on, and the end of the tube passed back and secured in position by screwing the collar to a shoulder 21 . The openings 13, 15 are then closed by screwed caps 14, 16. The strainer projects into a serpentine vaporizing- chamber 2 or retort, Fig. 3, the vapour being led off through another strainer 21 down the tube 7 to a burner 10 of any desired form. The core forming the serpentine passage can be removed through a plugged opening 3. To start the vaporizer, oil is burned in the cup 11. The strainer, Fig. 4, consists of a double casing 21, 23, each casing ending below in a conical portion. The outer portion is surmounted by a hood 25 closed on top and slotted on its sides. The inner casing is slotted at 27 and 28. Each casing is partly filled with shot 29, 30. The strainer 20 is similarly constructed, but without the bell top. In use on a motor road vehicle, the vibration agitates the shot sufficiently to remove any sediment, and thus render the strainer selfcleaning.
