Abstract

1344424 Opening cans OPTREX Ltd 31 July 1972 35697/72 Heading B8D Cans, e.g. one gallon cans C, are opened by a cutter 8 which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth 16 and is lowered on to the can and rotated relative to the can to free a section thereof. The teeth have bevelled outer surfaces and planar inner surfaces and are attached to a base-plate 9 carried by a pistonrod 11 secured to a crosspiece 12 guided for vertical movement by rods 14 which have end stops 15. The cutter 8 is positioned above a can supporting platform 1 rotated by an actuator 20. Clamps 7, 7<SP>1</SP> are carried by the platform 1 to engage and rotate the can. The cans are fed to the platform 1 via a conveyer C1 provided with retractable stops 24a, 24 and 25. A stop 26, carried by an actuator 23 pivoted by an actuator 27, is operative to push a can from behind the stop 25, when this is retracted, so as to push a preceding can on to the platform 1. Opened cans are fed along a conveyer C2 and past a device 37 having a permanent magnet secured to an arm pivoted by an actuator 32, which device 37 removes the freed section of the can. A pneumatic control circuit is described (Fig. 5).
