Abstract:
Flow regulation device having a rigid external envelope surrounding an internal tube and defining, with same, an annular chamber. The device has ends which allow for sealed connection thereof to a fluid line to be regulated, such that the internal tube is connected in series to said line. The chamber has a device for introducing a pressurized regulation fluid therein, the internal tube being configured to dilate under the pressure of the fluid to be regulated when the pressure of the fluid to be regulated exceeds the pressure of the regulating fluid. The device has a detector of the dilation of the internal tube, and a connection device from the detector to a control unit of a source connected to the line. Fluid distribution line and apparatus having such a device.
Abstract:
An installation for transporting containers having necks, the installation comprising an intermediate rotary platform provided in its periphery with slots each having a jaw mounted in the vicinity thereof in order to pivot between a closed position and an open position. Each jaw is provided with blocking means for blocking it in each of its positions, and includes a first contact surface projecting into the slot when the jaw is in the open position in such a manner that when the neck is inserted into the slot it pushes against the first contact surface and brings the jaw into the closed position, and a second contact surface facing the slot when the jaw is in the closed position in such a manner that when the neck is discharged from the slot it pushes against the second contact surface and brings the jaw into the open position.
Abstract:
A device for blow-molding containers including a structure and a platform mounted to rotate on the structure about an axis of rotation. The platform is provided with blower members and with molds that are mounted under the blower members, each of which includes a stationary mold portion and a movable mold portion that is movable in pivoting by a control device between an open position and a closed position for the mold. The device includes blocking members for blocking the molds in the closed state, each blocking member including a strut.
Abstract:
A device for filling containers by weight, the device comprises: a filler spout carried by a structure and having a delivery orifice; a container support member extending on one side of the filler spout, the container support member being associated with a weight sensor arranged at a level that is higher than the delivery orifice; and a connection arm having a first end fastened to the structure and a second end fastened to the container support member at a level below the weight sensor, the connection arm having two folding portions configured to enable effortless folding about mutually parallel horizontal axes, while providing a connection that is rigid against forces in a horizontal plane.
Abstract:
A device for transferring articles between a first machine implementing intermittent movement of the articles at a first predetermined pitch, and a second machine implementing continuous movement of the articles at a second predetermined pitch, the device comprising a flexible conveyor extending around at least two pulleys so as to have at least one rectilinear segment facing a conveyor of the first machine and a rounded segment facing a conveyor of the second machine, the flexible conveyor of the device carrying laterally-projecting article-handling members arranged at regular intervals in such a manner that the handling members are at a pitch corresponding to the first pitch in said rectilinear segment, and said rounded segment has a radius such that the handling members are at a pitch corresponding to the second pitch in the rounded segment. A container-packaging installation including such a device.
Abstract:
The electromagnetic actuator comprises a coil, a magnetic actuator member mounted in the coil, at least one ring of magnetic material placed around the coil, and at least one permanent magnet adjacent to one end of the ring and disposed overlying a portion of the outside surface of the coil, the permanent magnet having a magnetic field that extends in an axial direction of the coil, the magnetic actuator member being slidably mounted in a non-magnetic guide member extending inside the coil, and the ring having an end opposite from the magnet which is spaced apart from the non-magnetic guide member by a non-magnetic gap.
Abstract:
An article transfer device includes a rotating structure bearing cantilevered gripping tongs, each including two jaws each on one side of a longitudinal axis of the tongs and movable relative to each other to maintain a central axis of the cylindrical portion of the articles intersecting with the longitudinal axis of the tongs regardless of the transverse dimension. The jaws have ends in the same plane, provided with bearing surfaces facing one another to form together a centring V of the cylindrical portion and a length such that they extend back from a transverse axis of the cylindrical portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tongs and to a central axis of the cylindrical portion. The end of one of the jaws is extended by a first finger extending offset from the plane and is supported on the cylindrical portion beyond the transverse axis. A system includes such devices.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a plant for processing packaging sealing elements having a peripheral edge, the plant comprising a processing area and a device for transporting the packaging sealing elements, the device comprising a slide having two opposite longitunal rims slidingly receiving two opposite portions of the peripheral edge of each sealing element, and a means for moving the sealing elements along the slide, characterised in that the device comprises at least one transverse blowing nozzle mounted in a hole of one of the rims of the slide in order to eject a flow of air towards the opposite rim, the transverse nozzle being associated with a control element for selectively authorising or interrupting the air supply of the transverse blowing nozzle and in that the slide has a first section upstream of the processing area, a second section in the processing are and a third section downstream of the processing area, the transverse blowing nozzle being mounted on the second section.
