2'! Claims.
This invention relates to package filling machines, particularly those adapted for filling valve bags with pulverulent material such as cement.
As in the case of most machines economy requiresthat bag filling machines be operated rapidly, and in order to speed the filling of material into the bags or other containers a turbine is commonly rotated at high speeds to propel the material through a spout into the containers while they are being jogged. One result, where cement or the like is being operated upon, is that a very fine dust escapes at various points, settling in the joints between relatively movable parts of the machine. The consequences of this are particularly annoying in the case of cement because the cement cakes or hardens under the action of moisture, preventing the parts from functioning properly, or sometimes, at all. One of the sections of such machinesmost affected by the dust is the bag support and cooperating mechanism, because they are located near the bottom of the machine and generally underneath the spout, and are thus particularly accessible to the settling dust. Of course, dust is liable to escape from practically any type of bag-filling machine, and is always objectionable, so there is not, in these remarks, any intention of excluding from the scope of the invention the use of constructions, hereafter described, in machines analogous to the type specified, such as cement packers already in use. However, as the invention was developed in connection with the machine shown in my copending application, Serial No. 419,986, it will be described in connection with a machine of this type, one of the principal objects being to provide a bag support or cradle and cooperating parts which are of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and affected to a minimum by cement dust, so as to be operable at all times and easily adjustable.
The bag cradles shown in this and my copending application referred to are pivoted for tilting to discharge the bags into which material has been fed, and provision has been made for jigging the bags. Now, it is highly desirable that the bag chair be jigged against a solid stop, during the filling operation, so that the usual amount of material can be packed in a smaller bag, thus efiecting a saving in paper or other material of which the bag is composed, but this has not proved entirely satisfactory in prior constructions. For one reason, it is not convenient to stop the jigging during discharge of the bagand when the cradle tilts at such times, either the cradle itself or the means for limiting its tilting action may be damaged. Another object of the invention is, hence, to provide an improved construction for these purposes.
Otherobjects and advantages of the present invention will appear as the description of a preferred embodiment proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein: Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a bag filling unit in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation, partly broken away, of the construction shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows; Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views taken on the lines 4-4 of Fig. 2 and 5-5 of Fig. 1, respectively, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Though only one bag filling unit is illustrated, it is preferred to mount several of these on a stationary frame, which is shown as conveniently including a vertical member 1, transverse members 2 and 3, and I-beam 4. Secured to this I- beam is a turbine 5 for propelling material from hopper 6 through spout 7 into valve bag 8. For maintaining the valve opening in the bag over the spout during the filling operation a bag clamp 9 is pivoted on rod 10, the latter being supported by bifurcated arm 11. dust-collecting hood 12 surrounds the end of the spout adjacent the propeller housing for receiving dust which escapes with air from the bag.
For supporting the bottom of the bag during filling, a bag chair 13, having a generally V- shaped seat 13a, is mounted on a pair of uprights 14. Now, it is desirable that the height of this chair be adjustable quickly and easily to accommodate different sizes of bags, and that the means for effecting the adjustment be not affected by cement dust. For this purpose, teeth 15 are formed on the rear of each upright, and the bag chair is provided with cars 16 having slots 17 therein surrounding the uprights. Toothed elements 18 reside in these slots and are secured to the ears by means of their extensions 18a and screws 20, their teeth being normally held in engagement with the teeth on the uprights by means of pins 19 which fit snugly between the other sides of the uprights and the ears and have enlarged portions 190, for engaging the tops of the ears. These pins preferably extend below the ears, so that they may be tapped out when desired, in order to permit disengagement of the teeth and subsequent vertical adjustment of the chair. Set screws 19b are preferably provided. v
In order to obtain the most effective jogging of the bag chair with minimum undesirable at- An annular tendant results, the lower ends of uprights 14 are pivoted at 21 on lateral extensions 23 on the forward end of jogging arm 22. The upper ends of these uprights are journalled on pins 24 received'in the forward ends 25a of the links 25, which ends are formed to overlie the top, front and sides of the pivots, and constitute housings to protect the joints from dust. Links 25 are pivoted at 2'7 on rear uprights 26, which are normally maintained in generally vertical position, as hereafter described. Jogging arm 22 is pivoted for movement in a vertical plane on-a shaft,
the axis of which is denoted as :r-a: and which is carried on frame bed plate 34. The upright members are pivoted on the same shaft at either side of the jogging arm. For actuating thejogging arm a power driven cam 28 is provided for cooperating with a. roller 29 carried on the rear end of arm 22. The cam and arm are adapted gradually to raise the chair and then drop it, downward projection 30 on the forward end of the arm then abutting against stop 31 which is adjustably secured to the frame by threaded extension 32, of reduced cross-section, passing through a corresponding opening in flange 33 on the bed plate, and by nuts 35. To adjust the stop it is only necessary to insert a washer between it and the upper side of the flange.
In order to effect the discharge of bags from the machines onto conveyor A, the construction is such that the bag chair tends to tilt forward by gravity, at least when there is material in the bag, and accordingly means are necessary to prevent this action till .desired. For this purpose, a latch 36 is pivoted to the frame at 37 and .is adapted to engage pin 38 on one of the rear uprights. For releasing the latch, a handle 39 is secured'to sleeve 40 jourmTlled on shaft 10, and a link 41 having a slot 42 for engaging pin 43 on the latch is pivoted to arm 44 also secured to the sleeve. Upon downward movement of the handle the latch is raised, and approximately simultaneously adjustable set screw 45 on arm 46, likewise secured to the sleeve, is caused to release the bag clamp by swinging it rearwardly. A weight 4'7 on link 41 aids in returning the parts to normal position. In order to give the cradle which carries the bag chair a slightkick to start the tilting of the bag chair, as is desirable in machines when the parts are worn, there is advantageously provided a booster 48 which may be of resilient material, such as spring steel. for abutting against one of the rear uprights. This booster is secured to bell-crank 49 pivoted to the frame at'50 and having a bifurcated end v51 for cooperation with a pin 52 on link 41, the pin being adapted to engage the crank at the desired time in the sequence of operations, usually just after the release of the latch and bag clamp. Further to aid in discharging the bags a cross bar 72 may be secured between the rear uprights at 2'7, though in practice it is generally unnecessary. This cross bar will normally be out of contact with the bags and engage them only upon tilting of the cradle.
In order to limit the swinging of the bell crank and booster, to prevent them from being moved to inoperative positions, the end of the bifurcated portion 51 may be closed and bent downwardly somewhat to abut against link 41 after the desired movement.
As it is desirable to limit the tilting of the cradle, especially since the jigging preferably goes on independently of the tilting, the rear uprights 26 are extended below their pivots and abut against resilient Steps of special construction. These stops have heads 65, slidable in wells 66 formed in or secured to the frame, and spindles 67 of reduced size extending rearwardly and slidingly can ied within openings 68 rearward of the wells. A spring 69 surrounds the spindle and seats against the head and bottom of the well to take compression, and the head is maintained against the spring and against complete ejection from the well by nuts 70. A set screw 71 may be provided on each upright for abutting against the frame to stop the tilting with a jerk after a certain amount of cushioning. Similar resilient stops are preferably provided at the upper ends of the members 26 to cushion the return of the cradle. These stops have the particular advantage that they are substantially unaffected by dust.
The operation of the machine will be understood from the above description and it is only necessary to add that a convenient platform B is provided, from where the operator can put the bags in place and control the handle 39. Suitable means for intermittently feeding desired amounts of material to the hopper are located above the hopper, but not shown, as they, together with certain features shown but not claimed, are described and claimed in my copending applications.
The terms and expressions which I have employed are used as terms of description and not of limitation, and I have no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding any equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, but recognize that various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention claimed.
