Latest Patents
Walter D Ayres holds a patent for a vacuum feed mechanism. This pneumatically operated mechanism is designed for feeding envelopes or similar stacked articles from a stacked position into a second position where stamping, gluing, or other processes may be performed. The feed mechanism includes a pneumatic cylinder with a fixed piston rod and a movable cylinder driven by a slide wheel mechanism. This design creates a vacuum at a reciprocating, article-engaging slide shuttle when the cylinder is moved in one direction. When the cylinder is moved in the reverse direction, the vacuum is released, allowing the article-engaging shuttle to return to the stacked articles for reapplying the vacuum for removing an article. Walter's innovative approach has streamlined the feeding process in various applications.
