Filed:
Nov 13, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/093885

Walter J. Sieverin - McHenry IL
Assignee:
American Can Company - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
G01R 3306
G01N 2772
H03K 1790
H03K 1908
US Classification:
324225
Abstract:
A temperature compensating circuit for taking into account operating temperature changes of a Hall effect transducer to compensate for Hall output DC offset changes using a resistance circuit including a thermistor for offset feedback control of an operational amplifier in accordance with varying temperature. The circuit also includes a load response input portion to power the Hall effect transducer to compensate for Hall gain change versus temperature.

Apparatus And Method For Detecting The Condition Of Completed Ends

View page
US Patent:
47243848, Feb 9, 1988
Filed:
Feb 25, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/020137
Inventors:
Walter J. Sieverin - McHenry IL
Assignee:
American National Can Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
G01B 714
US Classification:
324207
Abstract:
Shown is an apparatus for mounting an inductive transducer in position over an intermittently moved belt carrying easy open ends for a beverage container and designed to detect whether or not the tabs for easy opening are provided on the ends. The apparatus is designed to resiliently bias the detection transducer towards the ends with a predetermined gap therebetween such that an electrical signal will result that can be used to evaluate whether a tab is in place. The apparatus includes a camming ramp designed to trigger a limit switch to turn off the system should there be multiple ends positioned below the detector. The detector mounting on a resilient support is designed to back away from any obstruction therebeneath to protect the apparatus during the detection operation. The transducer face is protected by about 1/16 inch of the plastic material. Also shown is a process of monitoring easy open ends in order to determine whether there are tabs on the ends including the steps of positioning the ends below an inductive transducer at a preset position relative to the end, generating an output voltage which corresponds to the distance of the metal mass in the end relative to the inductive transducer and comparing the output of the transducer with a predetermined value to establish whether or not there is indeed a tab on the end.

Side Seam Orientation In Can Labeling Machine

View page
US Patent:
39881822, Oct 26, 1976
Filed:
Oct 31, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/519737
Inventors:
Patrick Francis Urso - Crystal Lake IL
Earl Roger Van Alsburg - Barrington IL
Walter Joseph Sieverin - Buffalo Grove IL
Assignee:
American Can Company - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
B65C 312
B65G 4724
US Classification:
156 60
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for orienting cylindrically shaped containers having a side seam in each which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container so that operations may be performed on the containers utilizing known and oriented reference points thereon. The method and apparatus for accomplishing this result includes feeding the containers seriatim at a first station to a means for conveying the containers to a second station whereat it is necessary that the containers be oriented in order for an operation to be performed thereon. conveying the containers seriatim from the first station to the second station, and introducing a fluid under pressure and at a volume sufficient to buoy the containers to thereby permit gravity to orient the side seams of the containers in preparation for delivery of the containers seriatim to said second station.

Powered Logsplitter

View page
US Patent:
49517260, Aug 28, 1990
Filed:
Feb 9, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/477515
Inventors:
Walter J. Sieverin - McHenry IL
International Classification:
B27L 700
US Classification:
144366
Abstract:
A power device for splitting a log into four pieces avoids the problems of sticking the log on the wedge by positioning the splitting assembly to permit the split portions of the log to separate as vertical is started prior to horizontal splitting.

Monitoring Weld Quality Via Forging Assembly Dynamics

View page
US Patent:
43768830, Mar 15, 1983
Filed:
Jul 30, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/173724
Inventors:
Tan K. Dao - Chicago IL
Vance B. Gold - Lombard IL
Edward F. Kubacki - Marengo IL
Walter J. Sieverin - McHenry IL
Assignee:
American Can Company - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
B23K 1106
US Classification:
219109
Abstract:
To measure the relative power during a welding process, a position sensitive transducer is attached to a welding electrode to submit a signal in response to electrode motion. An accelerometer, carried on an axle of an electrode roll for a Soudronics pulse type resistance welder, will emit a signal indicative of the quality of the weld. The accelerometer measures the forging taking place during welding by means of its position sensitivity and the amount of forging has been found to be a function of the characteristics of the weld.

Container Reject System

View page
US Patent:
43867081, Jun 7, 1983
Filed:
Feb 12, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/233946
Inventors:
Walter J. Sieverin - McHenry IL
Assignee:
American Can Company - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
B07C 536
US Classification:
209549
Abstract:
A system for the reject of a single container from a row of multiple closely spaced containers on a moving conveyor. A circuit supplies a signal to a reject mechanism which is a solenoid actuated air blast to remove the container accurately. The circuit combines a shift register output with blanking signals in a first gate and a container position control sensing signal with the output of the first gate in a second gate to produce the appropriate reject signal. Mechanical fine tuning is provided to enable positioning the container signal within the appropriate time window.

Inspection Apparatus And Method For Detecting Flaws In Serially Fed Substantially Cylindrical Objects

View page
US Patent:
40428770, Aug 16, 1977
Filed:
Oct 1, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/618425
Inventors:
Walter J. Sieverin - Buffalo Grove IL
Assignee:
American Can Company - Greenwich CT
International Classification:
G01R 3312
US Classification:
324 37
Abstract:
An inspection apparatus for inspecting and detecting flaws in serially fed substantially cylindrical objects. The inspection apparatus includes a notch-shaped inspection station formed by a pair of drive wheels mounted on a first shaft and a pair of discharge wheels fixedly mounted on a second shaft, parallel to the first shaft. A hook having a convex back surface is connected to and protrudes beyond the circumference of each discharge wheel. An L-shaped bracket whose body includes a sending surface and whose leg includes an infeed cradle, is mounted above the drive wheels and pivots in synchronism with the rotation of the discharge wheels. A first object in the infeed cradle is positively sent by the bracket sending surface toward the inspection station as the hook convex back surfaces are rotating up through the inspection station. The sent first object contacts the hook back surface which by its clockwise rotational motion imparts a counterclockwise rotational motion to the object while easing it into the inspection station where it is rotated and inspected for flaws by sensors mounted axially on an imaginary straight line drawn from the axial center line of the inspection station to the axial center of the first or second shaft.
