A feeder is rotatably mounted in cooperative relation to a discharge end of a conveyor system. In a first position, the feeder is in line with the conveyor system so that the path of travel of conveyed articles is not changed. In a second position, the feeder device is disposed at a right angle to the conveyor system so that the path of travel of conveyed articles is changed by ninety degrees. An adjustable length conveyor belt enables the discharge of conveyed articles into the feeder at differing positions, depending upon the size of the articles. A pair of upstanding walls having sloped edges reciprocates as the feeder operates to ensure that all articles are in shingled relation to one another so that the articles are fed into the feeder one at a time in the substantial absence of jamming.
1. An apparatus for vibrating a feeder, comprising:
a vibration means mounted to said feeder for vibrating articles as said articles are deposited into said feeder by a conveyor means, said vibrating means positioning said articles into shingled relation to one another to facilitate one-at-a-time handling of said articles by said feeder;
said vibrating means including a pair of spaced apart upstanding rigid wall members, each of which has an inclined edge adapted to abut trailing ends of said articles as they enter into said feeder;
said vibrating means adapted to cause said pair of rigid wall members to reciprocate over a short range of movement so that said articles are positioned into said shingled relation to one another by said vibration;
said rigid wall members mounted to a first end of a rod that is biased so that a second end of said rod slidingly bears against a rotating cylinder eccentrically mounted on a rotating shaft that rotates when said feeder is operating so that the amount of eccentricity determines the range of the reciprocating motion of said rigid wall members.
2. The apparatus of
said elongate restraint member disposed in overlying relation to said rod to prevent said rod from disengaging from said rotating cylinder;
an elongate restraint member having opposite ends secured to said feeder to hold said rod against movement in a horizontal plane.
3. The apparatus of
said conveyor means having a longitudinal path of travel;
said elongate restraint member being disposed transversely to said longitudinal path of travel of said conveyor means.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates, generally, to high capacity feeders. More particularly, it relates to a feeder positioned at the discharge end of a conveyor that is adapted to enable a a straight through path of travel in the direction of travel of articles carried by the conveyor or to enable a ninety degree change in said direction of travel.
2. Description of the Prior Art
When redirection of articles carried by a first conveyor belt is required, the conventional method is to position the trailing (receiving) end of a second conveyor belt at the leading (discharge) end of the first conveyor belt and to position the second conveyor belt at the desired angle relative to the first conveyor belt.
This procedure requires a second conveyor belt and substantial downtime as the second conveyor belt is positioned in cooperating relation to the first conveyor belt.
There are times when articles carried by the first belt need to be redirected to their original, straight through direction, thereby necessitating the removal of the second conveyor belt and restoring the system to its initial configuration.
When requirements for a change in direction are frequently followed by requirements for the initial configuration, a considerable amount of time is spent with the repeated addition and removal of the second conveyor belt.
What is needed, then, is a means for quickly redirecting conveyed articles from a first direction to a second direction and back to the first direction as frequently as required in the substantial absence of prolonged downtime during the changeover from one arrangement to another.
Conventional conveyor belts have a fixed length. However, applications sometimes require that a belt be lengthened or shortened by a relatively small amount such as a foot or a few feet. The conventional solution to this problem is to install a longer or shorter conveyor belt as needed. Such obvious solution consumes time and money. Specifically, such solution requires ownership of at least two conveyor belts of differing lengths. Each belt uses space when not being used.
What is needed is a conveyor belt construction that enables a conveyor belt to be lengthened or shortened in a brief amount of time. Such an adjustable length conveyor belt would not have the limitations of the prior art belts.
Yet another problem associated with feeders is their tendency to malfunction if the articles being fed thereinto are not perfectly shingled with respect to one another. For example, if envelopes are being fed into a feeder and an edge of an envelope juts out from the stack of envelopes, it will not be able to pass through the feeder and a jam will occur. This causes downtime and the concomitant loss of productivity. Accordingly, a human operator must continually monitor the articles being feed into the feeder and straighten them into a properly shingled stack on a frequent basis.
Thus, there is a need for an automated means that would maintain the articles being fed into the feeder in a properly aligned, shingled stack so that no articles jut out from the stack as said articles enter into a feeder.
However, in view of the prior art considered as a whole at the time the present invention was made, it was not obvious to those of ordinary skill in the pertinent art how the identified needs could be fulfilled.
The long-standing but heretofore unfulfilled need for a feeder that can be quickly redirected between a straight through configuration or a ninety degree turn is now met by a new, useful, and nonobvious invention. The novel feeder capable of redirecting the path of travel of an article as said article is discharged from a conveyor means includes a conveyor system adapted to carry articles along a first path of travel and a rotatably mounted feeder positioned at a discharge end of the conveyor system. The rotatably mounted feeder is adapted to receive articles as they are sequentially discharged from the discharge end of the conveyor system.
The rotatably mounted feeder has a first position in line with the first path of travel so that articles adapted to be carried by the conveyor system along said first path of travel continue to follow said first path of travel upon being discharged by the conveyor system and entering into the feeder. This is the "straight through" configuration of the feeder.
The rotatably mounted feeder has a second position at a right angle to the first path of travel so that articles adapted to be carried by the conveyor system along the first path of travel are redirected into a second path of travel that is disposed at a ninety degree angle relative to the first path of travel upon being discharged by the conveyor system.
The novel feeder thereby eliminates the need for a second conveyor system to accomplish redirected travel. Moreover, the time required to re-configure the redirecting device from the first position to the second position is nominal.
A locking means selectively locks the redirecting device into the first and second positions.
When a plurality of rectangular articles such as envelopes are carried by a conveyor system, they may be positioned atop a conveyor belt in a longitudinal or transverse position. When longitudinally disposed, the longitudinal axis of an envelope is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the conveyor belt means. When transversely disposed, the longitudinal axis of the envelope is positioned at a ninety degree angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor belt means.
Accordingly, longitudinally disposed articles occupy a greater longitudinal extent of a conveyor belt means than the same number of transversely disposed articles of the same size. An operator therefore can spend less time loading the belt when rectangular articles are transversely disposed atop the conveyor belt means.
It may be advantageous to feed transversely disposed articles straight through the feeder and to feed longitudinally disposed articles at a right angle to the conveyor belt means. Such re-positioning of the feeder may require that the conveyor belt be lengthened or shortened. A need to change the length of the conveyor may also arise not as a function of the longitudinal or transverse positioning of the envelopes or other articles being fed into a feeder but as a function of the size of the article alone. Thus, if a first plurality of transversely disposed envelopes of a first width are followed by a second plurality of transversely disposed envelopes of a different width, the conveyor belt may require lengthening or shortening at the end of the first plurality.
The novel adjustable length conveyor means includes a table having a leading, discharge end and a trailing, loading end. A fixed position trailing roller means is positioned at a trailing end of the table. A leading roller means has an extended position remote from the leading end of the table and a retracted position proximal to the leading end of the table. A primary roller means has a fixed position that is between the trailing roller means and the leading roller means. A secondary roller means has an extended position remote from the primary roller means and a retracted position proximal to the primary roller means.
The extended position and the retracted position of the secondary roller means is between the leading roller means and the primary roller means.
A conveyor belt has a path of travel that extends from the trailing roller means, atop the table to the leading roller means, and below the table to the primary roller means. It then wraps around the primary roller means and extends to the secondary roller means. It wraps around the secondary roller means and returns to the trailing roller means.
The path of travel of the conveyor belt that extends atop the table from the trailing roller means to the leading roller means has a first length when the secondary roller means is in its retracted position and the leading roller means is in its extended position. The path of travel of the conveyor belt that extends atop the table has a second length when the secondary roller means is in its extended position and the leading roller means is in its retracted position. The first length exceeds the second length so that an article transported by the conveyor belt travels a first distance atop the table when the secondary roller means is in its retracted position and the leading roller means is in its extended position and so that an article transported by the conveyor belt travels a second distance less than said first distance when the secondary roller means is in its extended position and the leading roller means is in its retracted position.
Significantly, an operator may adjust the position of the leading roller and the secondary roller easily in a short amount of time. The leading and secondary rollers need not be fully extended or fully retracted but may be positioned at any number of operable positions between their fully extended and retracted positions. To prevent slack from appearing in the conveyor belt, an adjustment of one of the movable rollers must be matched by an equal but opposite adjustment of the other movable rollers. For example, if the leading roller is retracted three inches, the secondary roller must be extended three inches.
High capacity feeders often jam because the articles fed through them are stacked imperfectly, often with an edge of an article jutting from the stack or articles. Such an imperfectly aligned article may appear every few articles. This problem is addressed by providing a vibrating device that bears against the articles as they enter the feeder. The vibrations are of relatively high frequency so that the friction force between contiguous articles in a stack of articles is broken. In this way, an edge that may be jutting out is brought into alignment with the other articles in the stack because substantial removal of the friction force allows the misaligned article to feed into an alignment area with substantially no resistance offered between contiguous articles. Thus, each article flows or slides easily with respect to its contiguous articles because of the vibrations and alignment takes place. The vibrating means includes a wall tilted at an angle that imparts shingling to the articles so that they exit a hopper area of the feeder one at a time.
An important object of this invention is to provide a rotatably mounted high capacity feeder that is positionable at the discharge end of a conveyor system.
A closely related object is to provide a feeder that is quickly and easily re-configured to enable articles carried by a conveyor belt to change directions.
A more specific object is to provide a feeder that changes a path of travel of conveyed articles from a longitudinal path of travel to a transverse path of travel.
Another important object is to provide an adjustable length conveyor belt.
A closely related object is to provide a conveyor belt that does the work of a plurality of belts of differing lengths.
Another object is to provide an adjustable length conveyor belt that can be adjusted in length in a short period of time to minimize downtime.
Still another object is to provide a means for aligning misaligned articles into shingled relation to one another as they enter into a feeder.
These and other important objects, advantages, and features of the invention will become clear as this description.proceeds.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the description set forth hereinafter and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view depicting a first configuration of the novel direction-changing feeder;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view depicting a second configuration thereof;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the circled parts denoted 3 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4—4 in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a view like FIG. 4 but depicting the parts in a displaced position relative to their FIG. 4 position;
FIG. 6 is an end view taken along line 6—6 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the base upon which the feeder is mounted;
FIG. 8 is a first side elevational view of the novel conveyor system when in its extended mode;
FIG. 9 is a second side elevational view of the novel conveyor system when in its retracted mode;
FIG. 10 is a view taken along line 10—10 in FIG. 8; and
FIG. 11 is a view taken along line 11—11 in FIG. 9.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, it will there be seen that the reference numeral 10 denotes an illustrative embodiment of novel apparatus 10 as a whole.
Conveyor means 12 includes table 14 and a pair of parallel belts, collectively denoted 16. The leading or discharge end of each belt wraps around a roller 18. Roller 18 is mounted for rotation and its opposite ends are retained in brackets 20, 20 which are movable in a longitudinal direction as indicated by double-headed directional arrow 22.
Belts 16, 16 carry articles, not shown, in the direction indicated by single-headed directional arrow 17. For discussion purposes, this direction is considered to be the first or longitudinal direction.
Support table 24 is depicted in FIGS. 8 and 9. It is positioned at the leading end of conveyor means 12 but it lies in a horizontal plane spaced downwardly from the horizontal plane of conveyor means 12.
Feeder 26 is rotatably mounted atop support table 24. In a first position, depicted in FIG. 1, feeder 26 is positioned with respect to conveyor means 12 so that articles carried by said conveyor means in the direction indicated by directional arrow 17 are carried away from conveyor means 12 by feeder 26 along a first path of travel that is in line with longitudinal path of travel 17 defined by said conveyor means. Thus, there is no change in the direction of travel of said articles when feeder 26 is in its FIG. 1 position.
In FIG. 2, feeder 26 is positioned with respect to conveyor means 12 so that articles carried by said conveyor means are carried away from conveyor means 12 along a second path of travel denoted by single-headed directional arrow 19 that is at a right angle to path of travel 17 defined by said conveyor means. Second path of travel 19 is transverse to first path of travel 17.
Feeder 26 is generally square in configuration as depicted. In FIG. 1, articles being carried along path of travel 17 exit belts 16, 16 and encounter first barrier 28 so that said articles drop onto belts 30. Said belts 30 are rotating in the same direction as belts 16 so the articles are propelled by belts 30 to belts 32 and hence through feeder 26 without changing direction.
Motor 34 rotates driving shaft 36 and hence driven shaft 38, said driven shaft being connected to said driving shaft for conjoint rotation therewith by means of belts and pulleys collectively denoted 40.
Second barrier 42 is adjustable along the length of first barrier 28. Handle 44 is manipulated to enable sliding travel of second barrier 42 along the length of first barrier 28 and said handle is locked when second barrier 42 is in a preselected operable position. The position of second barrier 42 is a function of the size of the articles, not shown, being transported by conveyor means 12.
It should also be observed in FIG. 1 that the area bounded by roller 18, first barrier 28 and second barrier 42 would be made smaller by advancing roller 18 in the direction indicated by directional arrow 17. Such forward movement of said roller could be advantageous where a second plurality of smaller envelopes were to follow a first plurality of larger envelopes, for example.
The bounded area may be thought of as a hopper means because envelopes or other articles accumulate in said bounded area as they await engagement by rollers 32 that discharge them from said bounded area.
FIG. 2 depicts feeder 26 when it is re-configured to discharge articles along path of travel 19 that is at a right angle to original path of travel 17. Note that second barrier means 42 now performs the function performed by first barrier means 28 in the FIG. 1 configuration. The size of the area into which the unillustrated articles are deposited by conveyor means 12 may thus be adjusted by movement of said second barrier 42 along the extent of first barrier 28 and by advancing roller 18 from its illustrated position into said area. Again, the size of said area is adjusted as required by the size of the articles being deposited into feeder 26.
Reference numeral 39 denotes a photoelectric eye mounted at the free end of arm 41 the length of which is adjustable by loosening and tightening set screw 43. Cord 39 a supplies power to photoelectric eye 39. A "Stop" signal from photoelectric eye 39 stops conveyor belts 16, 16 when a stack of articles, such as envelopes, not shown, reaches a predetermined maximum height in the hopper area of feeder 26. Feeder 26 continues to operate during such stoppage, thereby reducing the height of said articles. Such height reduction causes a "Start" signal to be generated by photoelectric eye.39 to re-start said conveyor belts 16,16 when the height of the stack reaches a predetermined minimum height.
Since the articles must pass through feeder 26 one at a time, they must be properly shingled as they exit conveyor 12 and fall into the hopper means of feeder 26 in a waterfall fashion. The term "waterfall" is best understood by making reference to U.S. Pat. No. 6,164,046 to the present inventor which is hereby incorporated by reference into this disclosure. As best understood by comparing FIGS. 1 and 2 with the enlarged view of FIG. 3 and the sectional views of FIGS. 4 and 5, this invention includes a vibrating means that ensures that the envelopes or other articles that proceed by said waterfall into feeder 26 are properly shingled in a uniform and aligned spacing relative to one another.
The vibrating means includes a pair of upstanding rigid walls 46, 48 each of which has an inclined edge 47, 49. As articles are deposited into feeder 26, the respective trailing edges of said articles land atop said inclined edges 47, 49. Walls 46, 48 are secured at their respective lower ends to bearing rod 50 that has a concave leading end 52 adapted to bear against sleeve 54. Said sleeve is eccentrically mounted to rod 56 so that Walls 46, 48 are alternately displaced in the direction indicated by single-headed directional arrow 58 in FIG. 4 and in the direction indicated by single-headed directional arrow 60 in FIG. 5 as rod 56 rotates. A suitable bias means, not illustrated, urges bearing rod 50 to bear against sleeve 54 on a continuous basis so that walls 46, 48 and hence inclined edges 49, 49 reciprocate whenever feeder 26 is running. Rod 56 upon which sleeve 54 is eccentrically mounted is driven by belts 30, 30.
The reciprocation indicated by said single-headed directional arrows 58, 60 causes the articles to enter into a shingled relation where no edges of any article protrude in a manner that could cause jamming of feeder 26. In the absence of walls 46, 48 and the associated means for causing them to reciprocate, feeder 26 jams frequently.
Elongate restraint member 62 is immovably mounted at its opposite ends to an outer frame of feeder 26 and performs the function of constraining bearing rod 50 in a horizontal plane as it reciprocates so that said bearing rod 50 does not disengage from sleeve 54.
There are numerous means for mounting redirecting feeder 26 so that it can be moved between the configurations of FIGS. 1 and 2 in a short time. For example, as depicted in FIGS. 6 and 7, a peg 64 could depend from each of the four corners of feeder 26 and peg-receiving bores, formed in support table 24 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) and collectively denoted 66 in FIG. 7, could receive each of said pegs 64. Accordingly, feeder 26 is simply lifted from support table 24, rotated ninety degrees (90�), and returned to said support table with pegs 64 entering their appropriate bores 66.
The time required to re-position feeder 26 is nominal.
Referring now to the side elevational views of FIGS. 8 and 9, together with the bottom plan views of FIGS. 10 and 11, it will there be seen that the reference numeral 70 generally denotes the means for extending and retracting belts 16, 16 of conveyor means 12.
A primary roller assembly, denoted 72 as a whole, includes primary roller 74 that is mounted for rotation on primary axle 76. The opposite ends of primary axle 76 are mounted in tracks 78, 78.
A secondary roller assembly is denoted 80 as a whole. It includes secondary roller 82 having its opposite ends rotatably held by movable base 84. Secondary axle 86 carries movable base 84 and the opposite ends of secondary axle 86 are movably mounted in tracks 78, 78.
Double-headed directional arrow 88 indicates that secondary roller assembly 80 is movably mounted. The first, fully extended position of secondary roller assembly 80 is depicted in FIGS. 8 and 10. The second, fully retracted position thereof is depicted in FIGS. 9 and 11. Secondary roller assembly 80 may also be mounted in any position between the fully extended and fully retracted positions.
Conveyor belts 16, 16 wrap around primary roller 74 and secondary roller 80. As best understood in connection with FIG. 8, belts 16, 16 are in their extended configuration when secondary roller assembly 80 is in its retracted configuration, and belts 16, 16 are in their retracted configuration when secondary roller assembly 80 is in its extended configuration.
The respective trailing ends of conveyor belts 16, 16 are wrapped around trailing roller assembly 90 and the respective leading ends of conveyor belts 16, 16 are wrapped around leading roller assembly 92.
The means for displacing secondary roller assembly 80 is best understood in connection with FIGS. 10 and 11. Manually-grippable control knob 94 is rotated counterclockwise to extend leading roller assembly 92 and clockwise to retract said assembly. There are numerous mechanical gear arrangements or linkages that may be designed to connect control knob 94 to leading roller assembly 92, and all of such designs are within the scope of this invention. One way to accomplish the desired movement of said leading roller assembly is to mount control knob 94 onto a first end of control shaft 96 as depicted and to mount a pinion gear, not shown, onto a second end of said control shaft. A rack gear could then be mounted to plate 98 to which leading roller assembly 92 is connected by rigid arms 100, 100 so that rotation of said control knob effects the desired movement of said leading roller assembly.
As mentioned above, extension of belts 16, 16 causes retraction of secondary roller assembly 80. Note in FIG. 10 that a plurality of springs, collectively denoted 102, have their collective leading ends secured to transversely disposed anchor bar 104 that is fixedly secured at its opposite ends to tracks 78, 78 so that it cannot move. Accordingly, as secondary roller assembly 80 is retracted into its FIGS. 8 and 10 position in response to the extension of leading roller assembly 92, springs 102 are extended under tension. Springs 102 therefore provide a bias that pulls secondary roller assembly 80 back into its FIGS. 9 and 11 extended position when leading roller assembly 92 is retracted. Springs 102, or other suitable bias means, thus take up the slack in belts 16, 16 when leading roller assembly is displaced from its extended position to its retracted position or any other position of functional adjustment therebetween.
The ability to adjust the length of belts 16, 16 thus enables high capacity bulk feeder 26 to accommodate articles of varying sizes or articles of the same sizes in differing orientations (such as envelopes of the same size grouped into transversely disposed or longitudinally disposed groupings as may be dictated by printing or other requirements). Coupled with the novel vibrating means that ensures proper shingling of all articles before they are grabbed by the rollers of the feeder, the belt-length adjustment means enables feeder 26 to be used to its highest capacity when in its straight through or ninety degree turn configuration.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained. Since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matters contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention that, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
Now that the invention has been described,

At the end of the day, Peter Chiarelli determined that Jarome Iginla wasn't worth the roster shakeup it would have taken to sign him.
Literally, at the end of the day Monday, with the Bruins aware of their leading goal-scorer's value and strapped for cap space ($5,697,500 with Torey Krug and Reilly Smith, among others, unsigned), Chiarelli opted against dumping multiple pieces of his roster in order to sign the 37-year-old. So he told agent Don Meehan that Iginla and the Bruins, the perfect marriage, was over.
"I ended up talking to Jarome's agent last night, and I said, 'Look. It doesn't look like it's going to be a fit,' " Chiarelli said Tuesday evening. "It was late last night when we had the discussion and we said, 'Maybe let's circle back if we think there's anything else we can do.' "
That was that. No contact between the two sides until Avalanche right winger Jarome Iginla sent Chiarelli a friendly text message Tuesday in the 4 o'clock hour. It was an amicable parting of ways, but a disappointing one, and one that won't fully be known as a good or bad decision on the Bruins' end until the end of the offseason and years beyond it.
Chiarelli, who aggressively traded young stars Phil Kessel and Tyler Seguin, isn't afraid of bold moves. If he thought it was the right decision, he wouldn't have hesitated to trade pieces off this current roster. In fact, Chiarelli said there were discussions of a bigger deal like the Seguin one of a season ago, but that the team opted against it. The Bruins opted against all deals.
Most notably, Chris Kelly and his $3 million cap hit survived. Even if the Bruins were to have traded Kelly for picks and took on no more salary, they probably still wouldn't have been able to afford what Iginla ($5.33 million in each of the next three seasons) got from Colorado.
For Chiarelli, it was a combination of cap concerns present and future that turned him off from the idea of trading multiple guys in order to give Iginla a big contract. As things currently stand, David Krejci, Carl Soderberg, Johnny Boychuk, Dougie Hamilton and, depending on whether they take one-year deals or multi-year deals this summer, Torey Krug and Reilly Smith are among the players who will command new contracts -- and raises -- next summer.
The Bruins, who should be keeping an eye on the Chara window, don't want to be in this same predicament next summer and lose players, so they chose to lose Iginla now. That decision in and of itself was something of a bold move, as Iginla provided an upgrade over Nathan Horton and scored 30 goals as a highly productive player on Boston's first line and power play.
Chiarelli said the team explored ways to make space for Iginla, but he didn't like what he saw.
"I'm not going to get in to the details but yes, I was," Chiarelli said when asked if he was trying to move contracts leading up to Iginla's departure. "At the end, I made a decision that -- I felt that there were moves I could have made that at the end I didn't want to make. I thought it was for the betterment of the organization, of the team, not to do it, and that's kind of where it's stood."
The offseason is young, so it's early to say for sure that the Bruins are content with letting Iginla go without attempting to replace him. With their surplus of defensemen, perhaps a trade could be swung. Chiarelli said Tuesday that the Bruins are in on a pair of trades, though he isn't sure when or if they will happen.
If the roster stays as is, the Iginla-less Bruins will not have any right-shooting wingers. Current right wingers Loui Eriksson (who is penciled in to play on the top line) and Reilly Smith are both left shots, and the youngsters projected to compete for spots on the wing — Justin Florek, Matt Fraser and centers Alexander Khokhlachev and Ryan Spooner — are lefties, though Craig Cunningham is a right shot. Krejci has not had a left-shooting right wing since becoming the team's first-line center, as Horton, Rich Peverley, Seguin and Iginla are all righties.
After one day of free agency, and with 99 days until the start of the season, there is no celebrating the B's offseason. Iginla is a great player with plenty left in the tank and the Bruins lost him. They may come to regret not doing more to keep him, but Chiarelli has said all along that difficult decisions were going to be made this offseason.
In the meantime, the Bruins will explore whatever avenues are within their means to ice a better team next year than the one that got bounced in the second round in May.
"It doesn't mean I've stopped looking to try and improve our team and to try and find our right winger," Chiarelli said. "We've got extra D, we've got D that teams covet, so this is Day 1 of maybe 30 or 40 that you try and improve your team."

Recent reviews:
July 17, 2015 - I love this shirt! The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score is because it's too small for the size listed - I would have gotten a size bigger if available. I'm tired of black t-shirts and those were the only ones available in the larger size. :-(
June 11, 2015 - Good quality shirt. Sizes run true to the chart - unless you want a snug fit, buy a larger size.
December 6, 2014 - I have the white one and the writing colours are great. I love all your t shirts because they are made with light weight cotton and really suite the summers here in Australia. All the shirts you buy here are thick and hot. Will definitely buy more of these.
August 17, 2014 - I like this top very much. It is comfortable and fits well.

Do you remember being breastfed?
Started by H3X , Jan 31 2013 05:59 AM
61 replies to this topic
Posted 31 January 2013 - 05:59 AM
Do you remember yourself or your siblings being breastfed? Are your memories positive? Do you think it affected your intentions/ability to breastfeed your own children?
I don't remember myself being breastfed, nor my younger brother (despite being more than 4 years older than him). I don't remember him being bottlefed either though so I guess I wasn't paying attention! I can't ask my parents if we were breastfed as they're both dead.
Breastfeeding has been important to me with my son, and he is still breastfed at 2years9months. I guess I'm curious if he'll remember anyhting!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:05 AM
I remember mum feeding my youngest sister, and my other sister and I copying her. It did not last that long because I remember making soy formula (prescribed) bottles for Rach as she was allergic to milk protein.
I don't believe I was breastfed, as a traumatic birth where the doctor tried to deliver me vaginally out of my mother's extraordinarily small pelvis, resulting in a senior pushing me back in and doing an emergency ceasar, left mum comatose for quite a few days and me a special care due to some paralysis.
I was always going to at least attempt exclusive breastfeeding with children, to me it seemed like the only choice - I was successful with 2 of them but with the 3rd I had to stop at 9 weeks as she was allergic to milk protein so it was onto soy formula for her.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:13 AM
No, I don't remember being BF. My youngest Brother had bottles and I remember making them up for him (I am 9 years older). tbh I don't remember if mum tried to BF with him, but she had an emergency c-section for him and had a lot of issues later.I believe she breastfed my sister, other brother and I, but I do not remember. I know she had to try almond milk, soy and goats milk for me as I had lots of tummy issues.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:15 AM
My mother breastfed all 8 of us until 9 months when we were weaned.
In addition, mum also breastfed another baby born at the same time as my brother. The other baby's mother died just after giving birth from eclampsia, and mum was asked by the nurses if she would feed the other baby too as baby was quite poorly. I think she continued to feed the baby for 4-5 weeks until the dad moved away to be closer to his extended family.
I don't remember being breastfed but I never questioned that I would breastfeed my baby as it was the accepted thing in my family.

I don't remember being breastfed - but because my mother was a breastfeeding counsellor I do remember hundreds of other babies being breastfed at my house!
I also 'breast fed' my dolls when I was little.
I may have had some residual memory though as when my Mum got her breast cancer diagnosis I went "NO! But that is my FAVOURITE breast!" and Mum laughed and said "Why yes it was!" (but we both decided that as I was 30 this probably shouldn't impact on her decision to have it removed!)
Mum was so involved and passionate about breastfeeding and supporting breastfeeding mothers (she was made a life member of the ABA) that there was never a doubt in either mine nor my sister's minds that that is what we would be doing.. (I haven't had a chance to yet but I have two beautiful breastfed nephews).
My mother has since passed away but I hope that if I ever get in a position to need to feed a child of my own that there will be breastfeeding support available to me similar to what she was able to give to all those lovely women and babies who filled our home.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:25 AM
My mother stopped after two weeks and put me on watered down cow's milk, so I don't remember. I have a faint recollection of her feeding my sister during the six weeks she did that. Needless to say, she turned up at my hospital bed with bottles and a steriliser.
At the rate my almost three year old is going, she'll be writing multi-volume memoires about being breastfed.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:29 AM
I don't recall my own breastfeeding but I was 8 when my brother was born and 11 by the time he stopped breastfeeding so can remember it vividly. I saw lots of breastfeeding. I always thought of it as a routine part of caring for a baby and it has been, more or less.
I also heard my mother talk about advocating for herself and her babies. I've often heard her relate the story of being asked to feed her baby in the toilet (this was before the days of parents rooms) and her replying with the question "I don't think so. Would you like to eat your lunch in the toilet?"
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:30 AM
I was breastfed until six weeks. My grandfather was the local GP in a rural area where I was born and got in all six local midwives/LCs to help mum but for whatever reason, i was failing to thrive, so they started comp feeding, and then changed to exclusive formula.
My sister was born nine years later in a large urban city in the western world, and also failed to thrive despite all efforts of several LCs, who ultimately concluded that my mother is probably one of the rare people who don't produce enough milk despite all efforts. She was comp fed until 12 months, and I do remember that. I knew at the time that I had not been breastfed for as long as she was, and it made no difference.
My mother was never breastfed, despite her four siblings being breastfed. My grandmother is still not sure why her milk 'dried up' and my mother was given water buffalo milk from about two months. My father fed until he was four and can remember it, but doesn't have any strong emotions associated with it.
I don't think it really makes a difference to a person if thy were breastfed or not; I think it makes a much bigger difference to a woman if she is able to or not, but only because there is a strong cultural expectation that women do.
ETA - I DO think that seeing breastfeeding is important, whether your own family or in the wider world. I DO think that breastfeeding should be the 'norm' (but also that women can make a free choice within that paradigm where breastfeeding is normalized.

My mother breastfed my sister, i think for some time. My memories (sister was seven years younger than me) are neither positive or negative about this; and i don't believe they had any influence on my decision to BF or not. I was bottlefed, don't know with what, as i was not with my mother from birth, returned to her about 1 1/2 years (and i don't remember that).
I did not see a lot of women breastfeeding as an adult as i did not really hang around families with young children. I went to a BFing class before DD was born and had read a lot about BFing in pregnancy books. I had not considered not BFing DD before she was born and had not read anything on bottlefeeding etc.
Circumstances made the decision for me when it came to BFing DD and i chose to use EBM. I had a traumatic birth and things were not going well (on a whole range of issues). I could not bear DD being near my breasts (we were seperated for about a week in different hospitals) and BFing for me was a nightmare.
If i had been involved with more BFing women would it have made a difference? I don't think so. Not many women go through what i did, so it is hard to compare different experiences. I felt very damaged from my surgery when DD was born, as well as being manually expressed by midwives, and could not bear anyone touching me, including DD and i think that was increased due to my history of sexual/physical abuse and that i generally don't like people touching me (unless i trust them very much). None of this was discussed when i had problems with BFing DD (well trying to) and perhaps someone should have asked me about how i was feeling about the BFing attempts, that might have been more helpful. I think if i had better memories of my childhood (and had had better experiences) i might have been able to perservere with BFing a bit more (and this does not relate to watching my mother BF).

No but my cousin and her two brothers remember being breastfed. They were breastfed until around age 4. They're all very pro breastfeeding as adults. All if their children were breastfed until around age 3.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:39 AM
I was the youngest & have no memory of being breastfed. I do remember my aunty B/fing when I was quite young and being absolutely fascinated by it. Mum put it down to me being the the youngest for quite a few years within the extended family so I hadnt seen anyone up close until then. It did have a positive impact because my aunt was so comfortable & at ease ( & this was early 70's- when lots of babies were bottlefed) about it that years later it left a strong impression of being easy - so I just thought it would be- & it was for me anyway.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:49 AM
I don't remember myself - I'm pretty sure I was bottlefed from about 6 months.
I remember my 2 youngest siblings as I was 10 and 14 when they were born. I think it influenced my decision to breastfeed when I became a mother. To me it was normal.
My Aunty (mother's sister) did extended breastfeeding. One of her children breastfed until they started going to school.
All in all breastfeedng was very normal in my family - thankfully!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:52 AM
I remember a lot of ladies in the extended family sitting around drinking cups of tea, eating fruitcake and breastfeeding babies on the verandah on those hot summer evenings. Everyone would chat, kids would play together and eventually it would cool down enough to go back inside and go to sleep.
I also remember my poor mother nearly hitting the roof when my youngest sister bit her!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:54 AM
I am the youngest, I was breast fed until I was 16 months old. I have no memory of being breast fed.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 06:58 AM
I wasn't breastfed for more than a few weeks; I believe mum would have liked to but had no end of issues. My brother (4 years younger) did much better, and I have very vague memories of him being fed. Mum says I used to sit and glare at him in jealousy...
It was really important to me to stop feeding DD before she would be old enough to remember it. Honestly, I think other childhood experiences and memories impacted on my experience and potential enjoyment of breastfeeding far more.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:00 AM
I dont remember being being breastfed. I know I was bottle fed for a while as mum almost died because of a trainee Doctor and a little mishap being sewn up.
She jokes because I took to the breast straight away despite them telling her I probably wouldn't because had been bottle fed for a week.
My sister is 5 years younger, I dont remember her being breast or bottle fed. I'm thinking she was bottle though because she was prem. Will have to ask mum, now I'm curious.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:03 AM
No, I was only breastfed for 2 months and I dont remember it with my siblings. My son is 7 and he was breastfed till he was 3, but he does not remember it. But he will remember his sister being breastfed as he's old enough to remember and he's very aware of it. We also talk about it a bit, including me telling him stories about breastfeeding him.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:07 AM
My mother and extended family are all pretty icked out by breastfeeding and never did it. My mother said breasts are for men and my grandmother said breasts are disgusting and should never be acknowledged.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:21 AM
I was BF only til 6 months when mum got sick. I cant remember ofcourse and ehm not sure if thats a bad thing lol.
Im the youngest as well, so haven't seen my sister being breastfed either. I have not seen another family member breastfeeding or being breastfed either.
I just learned about it at school during biology classes and it sounded like it was the done thing.
So I never have thought about putting DS on formula unless there was a problem with DS in one way or another.
My mum told me my sis was born with jaundice and didn't want to feed, mum tried and tried and tried.
The nurses would not let her go home until my sis had had some kind of breastfeed.
So the last day they were there, mum managed to put my sis on the breast (she wasn't properly attached nor suckling whatsoever) in a way that it looked like she was breastfeeding.
Thus to me formula has always seemed to be a last resort and only to be used when the child is too weak or completely incapable of latching properly.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:29 AM
I don't remember, as I was only about 4 weeks old when my mother switched to formula. My brothers were breastfed a bit longer, but I was still quite young when they were born.
I was 5 years old when my second brother was born, and I do remember walking in to mums room while she was attached to a breast pump - I still remember being embarrassed, which I never want my kids to be.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:29 AM
I dont believe I was, my brother wasnt.
I remember my mum franticly ringing the shop 2 towns open if they could hang around half hour after close cos she was almost out of formula.
No extended family close to see BF either. It wasnt something I saw as a child.
I didnt BF for many reasons but none to do with not seeing BF.
I have no issue with BF and am a protart supporter lol
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:49 AM
I don't remember being breast fed, bottle fed or having a dummy.
I have vague memories of wearing a nappy. Only because I was a late walker due to an abnormality with my toes that needed corrective surgery. I bum shuffled everywhere meaning my nappies wpuld get shredded and damaged. In our old house in Port Melbourne the backyard was paved in rough bricks that would damage the nappies. My poor mum was so frustrated lol.
I remember being pushed around in a old red vinyl pram. I also remember how my mum placed it infront of the heater with me in it and how the back of it melted ndhow for the rest of my time in it I could never rest my back due to the massive sooty melted hole!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:56 AM
I was breastfed till around 9 months(or 12, I've heard both lol) and mum had to BF twins. she could only feed at home as she fed us both at once on her bed, with 2 pillows. I'm amazed she lasted that long frankly.
She said she only weaned us because my brother wanted more solids.
I don't remember being BF, but I've seen photos of it, and I grew up being told how natural it is and the best thing. Plus it was drummed into me to join the ABA when pregnant as mum was in the Nursing Mother's assoc. when I was born.
I've jut recently weaned my daughter at 2yrs 9 months. yay!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:58 AM
Nope. Mum's GP told her that breastfeeding me was making me fat, so she switched to formula at 5 or 6 weeks. My sister wasn't breastfed, but my brother was. I was old enough to remember Mum feeding my brother, but I have no memory of it at all, so it's likely that she sneaked off into another room to hide while she did it.
Another protart here, I breastfed mine till they were each a bit over 1 year old, while out and about.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 08:03 AM
I don't remember.
DD was breastfeed until 21 months yet a year later she saw a baby at daycare being fed and had no idea what the mum was doing. When I explained it to her it all seemed completely new.

Global music fans welcome brands
29 July 2015
PARIS: Brands can benefit from associating themselves with music because active fans are more likely to buy their products and to recommend brands involved in their passion, according to a new global survey.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of music fans around the world believe a brand improves its image by associating itself with music while almost two-thirds (62%) say it encourages them to test a brand's products and services.
However, reaching these consumers is not straightforward because there are wide differences across nations and generations about how they engage with music, and brands need to recognise there are eight "logics" underpinning fans' behaviour.
These are some of the key findings from the
study, conducted by Havas Sports & Entertainment, the global brand engagement network.
Written in partnership with the University of Southern California's Annenberg Innovation Lab, the survey covered 18,000 people across 17 countries.
The study applied eight "logics of engagement" to music fans and said the most engaged fans live out their passion mainly through five of them – what it identified as immersion, mastery, advocacy, play and exploration – and, in order to reach them, brands need to recognise national and age differences.
For example, Brazilians are the fans who most strongly engage through the "logic of social connection" (62%), or a feeling of being connected to a community, whereas 89% of Chinese fans engage through the "logic of play", the virtual or real life participation in activities related to music.
Young fans aged 13-17 engage most strongly through the "logic of immersion" (64%), or losing oneself in the emotion of music, while fans aged 35+ engage most through the "logic of exploration" (59%), the discovery of new artists, songs and genres.
"Music is an extremely effective marketing tool for brands looking to connect with people, as long as you can understand this passion and what drives it," said Lucien Boyer, president and global CEO of Havas Sport & Entertainment.
Separately, with so many new formats now available, the study found that 56% of global consumers listen to at least 10 music genres while 36% use at least three different social media networks a day.
It also broke down patterns of behaviour among 1,000 respondents from the UK,
Music Week reported
Generally, British music fans appear to have quite a traditional approach with 73% of them continuing to buy CDs compared to the global average of 67%.
Only 43% of UK fans buy from iTunes, Google Play or other digital services, and just 30% use free streaming sites, like Spotify, compared to the global average of 49%.
