Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A switchpoint type of deflecting device for effecting the undisturbed distribution of continuously moving bodies which have been preliminarilydeflected by a selecting station to different tracks or paths marked by special guide members.
  • a distributing tongue prevents head-on collisions which would otherwise occur between a body and the stationary guide members as a result of insufficient preliminary deflection.
  • the guide members are wedge-shaped with the pointed end serving to separate the individual paths, and are preceded by the vertically deflectable distributing or deflecting tongue, fitted at one end to the wedge-shaped end of the guide and pointed at the other end facing the selecting station, and whose top surface is doubly inclined downwards toward the pointed end and the deflection path side face.
  • This invention relatesto a switchpoint-ftype of deflecting device for the undisturbed distribution ofeontinuously moved bodies which have been deflected or redirected by a selecting station to different tracks marked by guiding means.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a developed projection, the randomly controllable circular paths and the position of the device according to the invention in relation thereto, in a schematic representation; 1 V
  • FIG. 2 shows the deviceaccording tothe inventionin a sideview
  • f 1 FIG, 3 shows the subject matteriof FIGJ-Z in a topview.
  • DESCRIPTION OFTHE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIGJ permits recognition of the, general arrangement of the inventive typeo'f devicev within the scope of a printing.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the device according to the inven on in detail.
  • the deflecting device substantially consisting of the parts 3 and 4 projects in such a way as not to have an influence upon those. of the bodies 1 which either follow the normal circular path as indicated in FIG. 3 by the dot and dash line, or which have been properly deflected into the path as indicated by the dotted line.
  • the deflecting device substantially consists of the distributing tongue 3 which is arranged ahead of the stationary guide member 4, and which is mounted to a flat spring 7 which is held in position on one side, as shown in FIG. 2, and is retained thereby in the shown normal position.
  • the tongue 3 is supported in a guide 6 permittingthe tongue to perform only a vertical movement in opposition to the action of the flat spring 7, which is restricted by a limiting stop 8'.
  • the tongue 3* which, accordin'g'to FIG. 3, has a pointed end, is designed at its opposite end to have a width corresponding to the guide member 4.
  • the two oppositely lying face surfaces 3a and 4a of the parts 3 and 4 extend in a closely adjacent manner and parallel in relation'to one another at an acute angle in relation to their longitudinal extension, so that there will result a' wedge-shaped overlapping. From this overlapping range towards the pointed end 30, the tongue 3 is inclined downwards, whereas the surface 3d is inclined downwards in the direction of'the longer longitudinal edge-3b.
  • the body 1- meets in a direct line, via the point end 30, upon the doubly inclined surface 3d of the distributing tongue .3, the latter will be pusheddownwardly, on one .hand,-in the direction indicated by the arrow B by the-ac? .tion of .the body 1 "meeting thereupon.
  • the tongue 3 is'acted upon by the pressure of the flat spring 7 and, via the surface 3d which is'downwardly inclined towards the longitudinal edge 31:, exposes the body 1 to a transversely actingpower component attempting to press the body 1 into the intended path (track).
  • the face sides 34' and 4a'of the parts 3'and 4 are arranged at acute angles, so that the body 1, in the course of its further movement, and owing to the pressed down tongue 3, will come to lie agains't'the face side 40 ,of the 1 of the edge 4b'of guide member 4.
  • Aaswitchpoint type deflecting device for a distributing apparatus comprising:
  • a distributing station for'deflecting-a preselected one of a number of moving bodies-from a first path toward another path;
  • stationary 'guidrmember means having a wedge-shaped face for'guiding said one deflected body into said other path; ancl r distributing means preceding said stationary guide member means including a vertically deflectable pointed tongue extension having a wedge-shaped face mated to said guide means and having a doubly inclined top surface sloping downwards towards the said pointed end and said second path.
  • a switchpoint type deflecting device in which said distributing means further includes a flat spring fixed at one end and having said tongue extension mounted to the free end thereof, whereby the vertical deflection of said tongue extension is in opposition to said flat spring.
  • a switchpoint type deflecting device in which said distributing means further includes a guide positioned to have said tongue extension rest therein so as to permit only vertical movement of saidtongue extension.
  • a switchpoint type deflecting device in which said tongue extension has a longitudinal edge adjacent to said first path for maintaining the undeflected moving bodies therein.
  • a switchpoint type deflecting device in which said stationary guide member has a longitudinal edge adjacent to said first path so as to further maintain the undeflected moving bodies therein.
  • a switchpoint type deflection device in which said flat spring has a limit stop restricting the vertical stroke of said tongue extension.
