An anti-short bushing, for use between a tubular metal sheath and an electrical conductor carried within the metal sheath, comprising a tubular insulative unit configured to be inserted between the sheath and the conductor. The tubular insulative unit is formed as a single molded piece having three connected segments. Two of the segments are generally semi-cylindrical and each has a shoulder projecting radially therefrom at one end. The two segments are connected by an elongated hinge which permits them to be folded relative to one another to form a tubular configuration with their shoulders forming a partial circumferential shoulder. The third segment is connected to the elongated hinge by a second hinge to permit the third segment to be rotated to project radially outwardly so as to form with the two shoulders of the other two segments a complete circumferential shoulder.

This invention provides apparatus and a method for forming, filling, sealing and cutoff of a package in which a thermoform film rigid bottom member is formed in a forming station adjustably positioned on a base. A loading station and a sealing station like the forming station, also adjustably positioned, are also provided. Both the forming and sealing stations have an adjusting guide means in which the roll supply is carried on a tubular support and the guides are carried on a hingedly secured threaded rod. The lower film and sealing cover as a strip are advanced by edge clamp means, with a first pair of clamps adjustably positioned and carried by a support and a second pair of clamps adjustably positioned on a support reciprocably moved along slide rails by a rotary actuator with an actuated drag link and crank arm. The acceleration and deceleration are produced by the drag link and alternate clamping and unclamping of the strip by valve means.

There is shown an inking apparatus for stamping on a localized area, and with a speedy application, a selected reproduction to a travelling or advanced product. This inking roller is free-turning with a light brake to prevent free wheeling. A four-bar linkage is used with two eccentrics. One eccentric is preferably rotated with at least twice the revolutions of the other eccentric. The four-bar linkage carries on an extending end of a first bar the stamp which is moved into peripheral engagement of the inking roller and then to the surface of the product. The movement of the stamp is in a path prescribed by the eccentrics and the four-bar linkage. The stamp in its peripheral engagement with the inking roller causes said roller to be inched forward rotationally to present a fresh surface to the stamp when next brought to the inking roller.

This invention includes apparatus providing for continuous motion and constant velocity to a traveling web usually including at least one film. A pair of grippers are arranged to grasp the film and are alternately actuated to advance the web. Each of the grippers are carried on the distal end of a reciprocated member. A motor is connected to a first shaft to turn four sprockets carried thereon. Each sprocket engages a roller chain assembly arranged in an endless manner and disposed to be moved in an oblong path. The roller chains are moved in a reciprocable path by one of a pair of crank arms driving and moving Pitman arms connected thereto. The oblong roller chains are operatively connected to and move lever arms pivotally connected to drag links which in turn move the reciprocated members. The apparatus includes a crank arm, a Pitman arm, drag links and reciprocable member with each as an assembly moved one hundred eighty degrees out-of-phase with a like assembly. The reciprocable movement of the frame carrying the oblong roller chains lengthens the forward stroke and shortens the rearward stroke while the speed of the roller chain remains constant. An overlap of the gripper actuation is provided by reciprocably moving the frame carrying the roller chain while moving the roller chain at a constant speed.

There is shown apparatus and method for producing a container preferably made or constructed of heat sealable material. Shaping of the container is by forming and not heat stretching or other distortion. In the depicted examples of the container the travelling strip is formed with a midwidth transverse cut leaving on and at each edge a carrier strip. The formed container is preferably filled with a product and then a cover to retain the product is brought to this container and heat sealed in place by the apparatus. After this filling and sealing, the package is further severed at the prior transverse cut to make separate packages.

A package comprising a receptacle cup of semi-rigid plastic having a top of semi-rigid plastic sealed to flanges of the receptacle and formed inwardly to press against the packaged product and hold it in place with or without evacuation of the interior. Different techniques and apparatus are disclosed for forming such packages. Package configurations also are disclosed providing improved recloseable characteristics, wherein the semi-rigid nature of both the top and the cup are utilized to enable the reclosed top to be held securely in place.

Automatic packaging apparatus and methods for packaging food products such as bacon in evacuated or gas-filled packages. The disclosed machine is capable of convexly thermoforming two webs of packaging material into respective sets of pockets which are brought together in opposed positions to enclose the product. One preferred package made by the disclosed techniques comprises a transparent semi-rigid cup-like shell and a back-formed flexible film sealed over the shell opening. In operation of the disclosed machine, the product is loaded into the semi-rigid package shell from below, so that the upper sides of the product as introduced into the machine are pressed up against the inside surface of the shell, and after evacuation are held in that position by atmospheric pressure acting through the flexible film beneath the product. Thus, such upper sides of the product are visible through the transparent shell which serves as the display side of the package.

This invention pertains to a disposable tubular cartridge and apparatus for expelling the contents from said cartridge. This novel apparatus does not employ the conventional U-shaped receiver into which the cartridge is placed but provides a self-contained handle to which the rear of the cartridge is attached. This handle is usually a pistol grip in shape. Rather than a rigid ratchet expelling shaft and an exterior twist handle the present apparatus provides a curved trackway and an expelling drive train, a portion of which is flexible in one direction. The drive train has a ratchet engaged and moved by a lever handle and a pivoted pawl leaf. A stop finger is carried by this lever handle and is disposed to prevent counterflow movement of the drive train. Several methods are shown for attaching the tubular container and the drive train is also shown employing several alternate constructions. In each embodiment the lever handle and associated members are swung to a disengaged condition whereat and whereby the piston disc carried by a rigid shank portion may be manipulated for moving the drive train to a retracted position and condition.

The rotary dispenser of this invention includes a plurality (such as ten) of outer disk-like members of which each is formed with a plurality of like-sized and spaced pockets. Each outer disk is supported and positively positioned by an inner tubular supporting member. This member is carried by a tubular shaft carrying all rotary dispensers. Each pocket in the outer disk is closed by a spring strip having resilient side supports. Pins are carried in guideways and the outer end of each pin engages the bottom spring-like strip and the other end of the pin is carried on and is moved in and out by a conical ring carried by a spine shaft movable within the tubular shaft. This spine shaft is moved longitudinally by a threaded portion rotatably carried by a nut secured to the tubular shaft. The dispenser is rotated with the same peripheral speed as a travelling web of material.
