Figure 8 is a sectional view ota box as made by the machine.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. V 1n the machine vrepresented in the accompanying drawing, the box or its lid, of circular foi-unis made hy thst` suitably centering the dish which'i'orms its end or bottom, and then feeding into the machine, on

. or around a. suitably-arranged revolving block or former, a strip of pastebcard to for-m the body of the box, and simultaneously therewith a paper covering, having paste applied toits one surface, and of greater width than the body, so that beingwrapped around the body, as the same are rotated in common, said covering is not only made to forma pasted wrapper to the body, closing the seam or joint in the pasteboard, but is turned over the edges or ends ol' the bodyvto unite the bottom with 4the latter, and to give a turned-over nish to the open or opposite end. This is the same or general principle of action of the invention, which includes .various peculiarities in the construction of certain parts or devices, and novel combina-tions of de'- tails for carrying ont the same in a practicable and advantageous manner.

Referring to the accompanying drawing- A is a revolving brush, which is arranged to dip or -work in a paste-receptacle, B, and over which the pa per strip C, that co'versand closes the body of the. box, also unites its bottomi or end, is passed'simultaneously with the feed of the pasteboard strip I), to a' revolving blocker former, E.

Arranged opposite this revolving block E is a sta-V tionary face-plate or block,F. .In making` a box, .the disk which forms its end or bottom vis laid against this lace-plate F, and ,supportedA and centered` by being placedon adjustable gauges G, which are acted upon by springsat-'theirbacks, so ac to admitot'their being, pressed back or iowa .'d. The revolving block or't'ormer E is of sectional construction, for the purpose of allowing of its expansion and contraction, to facilitate its hold o'n the box while being matlc,and removal of the same when made. `V

Said sections, which are radial as regards arrangement, are closed and held together by elastic bands H I, in conjunction with a front ring, a, provided with "prickers, to eiiect the rotation of the end along with the body of the box, and secured to the sections hy 'scre\vs," ittcd so as to admit of radial play to the sections;

The taper socket J, carrying the block or former Valso the pasting-brush A, and sundry rollers and de# vices, as hereinafter described, connected with the guidinr and laying ofthe strip or strips, are arranged within a frame, L, that is made capable ot' sliding along suitable ways c c, in a direction or directions parallel to the driving-shaft K, and is drawn back by a hand-lever, M, and rod d, Vwhen it is required to slide the block E and its pertaining parts or devices away from the fixed face-plate F, but is forced up toward the latter by a spring, N, arranged around the shalt K. The frame L may be hingedas at' e,so aste open where it encir' cles. or covers the block or former E. A I f i.

arranged across and otherwise in connection with saidv frame L are sundryrollersand*disks orwheels, `operating in connection with similar devices arranged to project from the block that carries the face-plate F, all of which will be found hereinafter particularized in describing the operation of the machine.

Also, the face-plate F is provided with rollers' f to,

t and serving to close the paper in its lap over the end or bottom ofthe box.

' The former E is constructed at its' rear end with au inwardly-projecting collar-portion, g, and the taper" free to move'a given distance before it pulls on or draws' back the former,. the object ot' which will be hereinaiter explained.

Furthermore, said formel-77 E is provided, on the periphery of one of its radial sections, with a hingedv or elastic flap-like clamp, o, having its root as att, and sitting, when closed, into a recess formed in said section, so as to lie flush, or thereabouts, with the periphery of said section. This clamp, which is serrated at its forward or mouth-end, serves to hold the strips C and D at their one end, to secure their being wrapped on the revolving formen SaidI clamp is made automatic in its action. That may be elected by means of a spring hook or catchrod, k, arranged to project from itand to bite under a lip, l, formed on one side. of a slot, m, in the forward end ofthe socket J This lip l is not only made'sloping in direction of the taper of the` socket J, but beveled olf iu a eioss)\'ise direction thereto, as seen in figs.` 3 and 7, so that.. while on drawing back the socket J in advance of its pulling on the formen as hereinbefore described, the lip lclears the hook It and opens the clamp o. A reverse motion given to the socketJ causes the hook k to be thrown by the bevel or bevels ofthe lip I, under and in loek with the lat-ter, closing the clamp. Said clampo is thus opened at each fresh feed of papel' and pasteboard to the formcr, and

opened alter the box is made to allowoi its re'moval from the formel-f which is effected by a stripper, P, through the continued further back-sliding action given to the socket J after it has commenced to pull on the lbrrneiy by the collar and recessed construction of thesbdcrices, kas at r/ and h, the. stripper operating to remove the: box, as the latter in the sliding of the formerl is brought against it.

I t may here be remarked that, ou starting the socket J back, and until, by its shouldered construction, it pulls ou the former, the frictional hold of the box on the latter, as caused by devices used in forming the box, prevents the former E from being drawn by frictional contact along with the socket, which secures the opening ofthe clamp o to release the box, for its after removal by the stripper, as described.

In making the box, the' former E and socket J are, of course, pressed forward with thc disk Q, that forms the end or bottom to the box, between said former7 and the faceplate F, the pasteboard D and` covering-paper C, which form the body of the box, having previously been fed to the former when the clanip'o was open, or the socket J may be temporarily drawn back to effect the opening of the clamp for that purpose.

The strip of pasted paper C for each box should be so adjusted relatively to the pasteboard body piece or strip D as'to secure wrap of the paper over the pasteboard at the joint or seam in the box.

l Said paper also-requiresgto be considerably wider v -than tbe pasteboard, to allow of its being folded or turned at itis edges, as represented in figs. 5, 6, and 8, for the, 'purpose of connecting the body of the box with its bottom Q, and for giving a turned-over finish to the open end of the box. The paper is properly guided and bent to effect this, and made to bear with its pasted side on the pasteboard; also, the close fit of the latter on the former secured, by means of rollers and disks, or wheels, as follows.

R R is a series of guiding and pressing rollers carried by the frame L, and' S S similar rollers, arranged to project from the block carrylin g the 'face-plate F.

.lese several rollers are arranged to surround the former E in directions parallel to its axis, and serve to make the strips C and D conform to the rotundity of the former, and to cement or paste them together as the formerf E is revolved.

On `the rollers S S are disks T T, which operate, the tiist in a preparatory and the second in a finishing manner, to break and turn the one edge of the paper C over the end or bottom Q, after which the rollers j' f, hereinbefore described, flatten '0r complete such lap by pressing the pasted surface of such turned-overedge portion ou to the disk Q. This unites the bottoni or end with the body'ct' the box.

The opposite edge of the pasted strip'C is folded or turned over the open -eud of the box, .jas shown in lig.. 8, first, by breaking it into a right-angled position by a disk, U, on the advance roller It, afterward turning such bend inward by its passage vover a beveled wheel or disk, V, and subsequently, during the rotation of the former passing such inwardly-bent edge, together with the mouth-end of the pasteboard body-aud outer portion of thc covering-paper, between the-after rollers R and supplementary rollers \V. This causes the pasted paper to be turned over, and to he cemented or pasted to the open end of the-box, both on its inside and outside, as represented in fig. 8. The rollers R are provided with suitable -ilan ges or shoulders to guide the paper.

After the box has been thus made, it is removed from ott' the former E by drawing back the socket J, as hereinbefore described. l

What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the sliding frame L with the paste-brush A, and the revolving block or former E, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with the former E, of therollers S S, with their .disks Tr'l", and the rollers ff, essentially as herein set forth.

3. The combination, with the former E, of the rollers It R, the revolving disk U, the beveled wheel or disk V, and the rollers W, substantially as described.

4. The combination of the stripper P with the revolving and sliding former E, essentially as specified.
