Definitions

  • a machine for processing articles in open containers by means of a fluid the machine comprises a housing, conveyor means to convey each container into and out of the housing, at least one member within the housing arranged to engage the container opening to retain the articles within the container, means to rotate the engaged container and member about a substantially horizontal axis, and means to pump the fluid through the container during such rotation.
  • a machine for processing articles in open containers by means of a fluid comprising a housing, conveyor means to convey each container into and out of the housing, at least one member within the housing arranged to engage the container opening to retain the articles within the container, means to rotate the engaged container and member about a substantially horizontal axis, and means to pump the fluid through the container during such rotation, the container-engaging member being provided with at least one valve operable to control a passage which will communicate with the container for discharge of processing liquid.
  • valve or each valve is biased in a sense to open the associated passage and is movable against said bias in response to liquid pressure in a processing-liquid feed line.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic front elevation of a cleaning apparatus
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus
  • FIG. 3 is a detail showing a dump valve.
  • the cleaning apparatus comprises a generally rectangular frame 1 supported on trunnions 2, 3 carried by bearings 4 (FIG. 1).
  • the foot on the frame has a pair of support plates 5, 6 to receive a box 7 of parts to be processed, a pair of buffers 8, 9 on the frame sewing to center a base 10, on the particular box shown, provided for engagement by a forklift truck.
  • the upper cross member 11 of the frame are two jacks l2 engaging a clamping plate member 13 movable by the jacks to engage the open mouth of the box.
  • a fluid supply line 14 for moving the jacks in one sense runs through trunnion 2 to a tapping 15 which branches at 16 to a like end of each jack.
  • a second fluid line 17 extends through line 14 to the frame and thence to branches 17a which are connected to like ends of the jacks.
  • a processing liquid line 20 is provided in trunnion 3 to a chamber 21 defined by the frame from which six offtakes are provided, two of which, indicated at 22, are coupled by flexible hoses 21a each to a dump valve 23 and four of which, indicated at 24, are coupled by hoses 21b each to a nonretum valve 25.
  • the liquid in chamber 21 also passes through offtakes 22 to dump valves 23.
  • These each comprise (FIG. 3) a housing 28 mounted on but clear of member 11, having a bore 29 containing a piston 30 exposed on one face 31 to offtake pressure and oppositely biased by a Spring 32.
  • the piston carries a valve 33 which under pressure of liquid in the offtake will be pressed on to a seat 34 about an aperture 35 in the member 11.
  • Nonreturn valves 24 prevent any used liquid feeding back through offtakes 22 when pressure therein falls on completion of a liquid-processing stage.
  • a machine for processing articles in open containers by means of a fluid comprising a housing, conveyor means to convey each container into and out of the housing, at least one member within the housing arranged to engage the container opening to retain the articles within the container, means to rotate the engaged container and member about a substantially horizontal axis, and means to pump the fluid through the container during such rotation, the container-engaging member being provided with at least one valve operable to control a passage which will communicate with the container for discharge of processing liquid, each valve comprising a valve body, a bore therein, a piston in the bore, a line between said bore to one side of said piston and a processing liquid feed line to said member, a valve controlling passage carried by said piston and biasing means urging said piston in a sense opposite to liquid in said line and in a sense to move said valve to open said passage.
  • a machine according to claim 1 including four valves in said member.
  • a machine according to claim I in which said member includes a liquid inlet passage coupled to said feed line, a oneway valve being provided upstream of said inlet passage.
  • the member includes container-engaging pieces projecting from the container-directed face of the member, the member between adjacent pieces, the upper edge of an engaged container between said adjacent pieces and said adjacent pieces defining a passage for processing liquid.
