Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 29, 1922.
Application led November 22, 1919. Serial lo. 389,903.
First. to provide au improved conveyerfor carton filling and sealing machines in which ther cartons are stopped to receive theV material and are then advanced and delivered to receiving conveyers.
Second, to provide a conveyer mechanism having these advantages which is simple and durable in structure and automatic in its operation.
Further objects. and objects relating to structural details. will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearlyillustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Fig. I is a detail plan view showing details of the switch whereby the articles are directed to the two receiving conveyers.
Fig. IA is a detail plan view of a portion of the conveyer in front of the portion shown in Fig. I, showing the stop mechanism.
Fig. II is a detail longitudinal section on a line corresponding to line 2-2 of Figs. I, III and IV. l
Fig. III is a detail transverse section on a line corresponding to line 3 3 of Figs. IA and II.
Fig. IV is a detail transverse section on a line corresponding to line 4-4 of Figs. IA and II. A
Fig. V is a detail view partially in section of the switch operating mechanism.
Fig. VI is a detail view on aline corresponding to line 6,-6 of Figs. I and V, showing further details of the swltch operati mechanism.
Fig. VII is a detail inverted view of the switch shaft-and part of its operating connections. Y
In the drawing, similar reference char# aeters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken locking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.
For convenience in description, .I designate the` three conveyers ofthe embodiment of my invention illustrated as the main conveyer and receiving conveyers. .The main conveyer comprises a bottom belt 1 and side members 2 and 3 disposed above land at the sides of the belt 1, so that the cartons or packages are carried along by the belt and gulded and retained upon the belt by the side members.
The supporting and driving pulleys of the main conveyer belt are not lllustrated as their arrangement will be well understood.
Themeceivin conveyer comprises belts 4 and 5 dispose with their upper reaches transversely of land below the upper reach of the main conveyer belt 1 as shown in Figs. I and V.
The side members 7 and 8 are forwardly curved lat 12 and 13 respectively, their forwardly curved ends bein connected at 14.
A switch 15 is mounte on the rock shaft 16 disposed between the receiving conveyer belts so that the switch ma be swun to the position indicated b ful lines in Fig. I to guide the articles rom the main conveyer to the second receiving conveyer or to be swung across themain conveyer belt as shown by dotted lines in Fig. I to guide the articles from the main conveyer belt onto the first receiving'conveyer.
In advance of the switch, I arrange a stop member or gate 17 adapted to swing across the main conveyer belt to stop the cartons indicated at 18. In practice, the cartons are stopped in this position to re- 'the switch pivot or rock shaft 16.
ceive the material with which the cartons 'are filled from a filling and weighing machine, such machine, however, not .being illustrated, as it forms no part of this invention.
The stop member or gate 17 is carried by arock shaft19 having a weighted arm 2() thereon by which its actuating arm 21 is held against the actuating cam 22. This cam is carried by the cam shaft 23 driven from a suitable source not being here illustrated.
This cam shaft is also the driving shaft for the switch actuating means, it being provided withv a sprocket 24 connected by the sprocket chain 25 to a sprocket 26 on the stub shaft 27 carried by an arm 28 on the frame.
A switch actuating cam 29 is secured to this shaft 27. This cam 29 acts upon the link 30 slotted at 31 to engage the shaft 27 and provided with a roller 32 coacting with the cam so that the link is given a reciprocatory movement. The link 30 is connected to one arm of the actuating lever1 pivoted at 34. The other arm of this lever is connected by the link to an arm 36 on This link is slidably arranged through the arm 36 as shown in Fig, VII. A spring 37 is provided to act upon Athe arm. The spring 38 connected to the arm 36l holds the switch yieldingly in one position.
The cam 29 is shaped so that the switch is held in one position during a predetermined period, it swinging to its other position when released by the cam.
vWith this arrangement of parts the stop member stops the cartons in-the filling position, holding them for the desired period in this position. When released they are directed or delivered to one or the other of the receiving conveyers by the switch 12. In practice, these receiving conveyers convey the filled cartons in a double row to a sealing machine, the details of which are not here illustrated as they form no part of this invention.
I have illustrated my improvements in one form in which I have embodied them in practice. I have illustrated only such parts of that embodiment as seemed to me to be required for a clear illustration of my present improvements. It is believed, however, that the disclosure made will enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embody or adapt the same as may be reqiured to meet any requirements in use.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
