  • Patent number: 5277016
    Abstract: A method of and apparatus for bagging ice cubes produced by a plurality of cubers with only one bagger when the cubers are stacked side-by-side with the ice produced by each cuber falling into one of two hoppers. The ice is moved from each hopper alternately to the bagger. There each batch of ice cubes is dropped into a bag, the bag sealed, and moved to a storage bin positioned below the bagger. The bags have a short side and a long side with the long side having holes to allow the bags to be supported by horizontal parallel rods extending through the holes. A platen is moved against the short side of a plurality of bags hanging from a first set of parallel rods extending through the holes in the long side of the bags. The air pressure between the platen and the short side of the bag is reduced to cause ambient atmospheric pressure to hold the short side of the outside bag against the platen.

  • Patent number: 4481541
    Abstract: A camera for photographing the image on CRT monitors is disclosed that locates a magazine containing a roll of film below a vertical aperture plate and a cassette above the aperture plate to receive the exposed film so that the film exposed through the opening in the aperture plate will not sag and distort the image received from the lens due to gravity. Magnets hold a pressure plate against the aperture plate to keep the film flat and properly positioned against the aperture plate. Apparatus is provided to cut the film between the aperture plate and the cassette to allow the cassette to be removed from time to time to develop the exposed film contained therein.
