Definitions
- Another object is the provision of an ejection mechanism in the can sorting mechanism whereby the ejection lever is mounted on a shaft with such adjustable force that it slips under extreme pressure, such as would be caused by ajam.
- FIG. 7 shows a leak-proof can being positively held in a pocket of the can sorter by means of a clamp which has been rotated into the clamping position when an associated cam roller dropped into an undercut in the cam disk;
- FIG. 10 is an end elevational view of a portion of a hub showing depressions wherein the gears are disposed, the depressions being arranged in an alternate sequence-one on one side of the hub and the next one on the other side of the hub;
- FIG. 1 there is set forth a can tester 10 in which are provided various test chambers 12 containing cans 14.
- Such can testers are well known in the prior art, as disclosed by the Cameron U.S. Pat. No. 2,013,402.
- cans 14 are removed from test chambers 12 and sorted as to their qualities, i.e., the leaky cans are rejected and the cans which are leakproof are sent along the production line for receiving the contents to be placed therein.
- roller 60, 60' is attached to a cam gear 62, 62' mounted on shaft 68 in an accentric position by a bar 64, 64' at the opposite end of which is a biasing means forcing said bar upwardly by coil spring 66, 66.
- Rollers 60, 60' are pressed downwardly against the cam surfaces of cam disks 44, 44' by means of biasing coil springs 66, 66'. Upward or downward movement of rollers 60 or 60 causes gears 62 or 62, together with shafts 68, to rotate.
- the engaged microswitch closes a circuit which energizes solenoid 154 and induces movement of piston 155, the latter being pivotally connected to crank arm 157.
- the crank arm 157 is mounted for rotation at point 156 and is connected to valve 143 to open and close same to allow gas to pass therethrough.
- Gas is supplied to valve 143 from a source (not shown) by conduit 144, and conduit 142 conveys the gas, when valve 143 is open, to cylinder 52.
- clamping means and said ejection means are each provided with cooperating abutments which serve to maintain the angle between said clamping means and said ejection means such that a can could be clamped therebetween and to limit relative rotation of said clamping means and said ejection means on said first shaft.
- Apparatus of claim 12 including a rotatable discharge shaft for mounting said conveying means, said conveying means being circular and including a pair of spaced starwheel disks.
- said conveying means includes a hub mounted for rotation on said discharge shaft, the pair of starwheel disks being rigidly affixed to said hub for rotation therewith, said starwheel disks being arranged so as to form said pockets.
