Abstract: A food mixer comprises a base, a supporting structure or column upstanding from the base and an arm projecting from the upper end of the column and carrying a mounting member for a mixing tool. The column is provided with a vertically extending V-section channel on its bowl-facing side which, in use, receives part of the periphery of the mixing bowl so that the necessary horizontal extensions of the head from the column is minimized. The mixing bowl is supported on a mixing bowl support vertically movable on the column to bring the bowl up to the mixing tool and lower the bowl therefrom. Except in the fully lowered position of the bowl support, the bowl is held captive on the bowl support by a pin which is extended upwardly through a hole in a flange of the bowl, the flange being received in a slot in the bowl carrier. The pin is carried by a lifting mechanism for the bowl support and is arranged with a degree of vertical lost motion relative to the bowl support, thus ensuring that the bowl is automatically locked into the bowl support before any lifting movement takes place and is not released until the bowl support has been fully lowered.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for printing and applying labels to packages which can vary in height over a large range, for example from a minimum height of 0.5 inches to and including a maximum height of 5.5 inches. A label applier is pivotally mounted and gravity biased toward a lowermost position adjacent a package conveyor with the label applier being upwardly pivoted by packages passing thereunder to accommodate the wide range of package heights. Packages are sensed on the conveyor as they move toward the label applier which prints and holds labels with the adhesive coated sides of the labels unexposed until the expiration of periods of time based upon package sensing. By timing label application to occur upon the expiration of such time periods, the labels are applied to preferred areas of the upper surfaces of the packages adjacent either the leading side edges or the trailing side edges of the packages as defined by direction of package conveyance. The label applier also can move laterally relative to the package conveyor to further define the preferred areas of label application on the top surfaces of the packages.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种方法和装置，用于将标签印刷和应用于可在大范围内高度变化的包装，例如从0.5英寸的最小高度到最大高度为5.5英寸。 标签施加器被枢转地安装并且重力偏向邻近包装输送机的最低位置，标签施加器通过其下方的包装向上枢转以适应宽范围的包装高度。 当传送带移动到标签施加器上时，在传送带上检测到包装，打印和保持标签的粘合剂涂层侧面未曝光，直到基于包感测的时间段到期。 通过定时标签应用在这样的时间段期满时发生，标签被应用到与包装输送的方向所定义的包装的前侧边缘或后侧边缘相邻的包装的上表面的优选区域。 标签施加器还可以相对于包装输送机横向移动，以进一步限定在包装的顶表面上的标签应用的优选区域。

Abstract: A steam generator is formed by a plurality of similar heat accumulator units stacked vertically. Each heat accumulator unit of the stack has an orientation different than any adjacent heat accumulator unit so that multiple heat accumulator elements of the each heat accumulator unit align with respective open spaces of any vertically adjacent heat accumulator unit.

Abstract: An elevator-type package wrapping machine which determines as by premeasurement the length of packages fed at a first level thereto, comprises a film gripper for initially drawing a fixed length of stretch film horizontally from a supply roll to a fixed stop position in the machine. While the film is held by the film gripper, a package which has one edge thereof at a predetermined distance from the fixed stop position is elevated to a second level above the level of the gripper into the film such that the package draws a first addition to the length of film drawn by the gripper, according to the height of the package. A vertically-moving horizontal bar is moved into contact with the film remote from the fixed stop position to pull a second additional length of film from the film source in accordance with the measured package length, if required. A film cutter is provided for severing the film from its source while the film is stationary, following which, film side and rear underfolders fold the lateral edges of the film and the rear edge of the film extending from the film source under the package. The underfolders and horizontal bar are operated independent mechanisms, enabling separate timing of each. The package is then pushed essentially horizontally in an outfeed direction, at which time the gripper releases the film and allows the released portion to be underfolded beneath the package as it is pushed. The package is then passed over a heated belt to seal the overlapping edges of the film beneath the package.
