Annlication filed January 27, 1912. Serial No. 673,823.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatl, J arms H. AMEsBURY,

"a citizen ofthe United States, residing at boards and tubes, such as are employed in packing'bot-tles and other frangible articles, the invention also relating to improvements in packing boards and tubes of this class and consisting, in connection with a facing sheet of a corrugated sheet or strip provided with corrugations which are arranged diagonally with respect to and extend across the facing strip, one object of the invention being to provide an improved machine of this kind which forms -a sheet or strip of paper with diagonal corrugations, another object of the invention being to provide an improved packing board or tube with a sheet or strip Which is formed with diagonal corrugations whereby the strength of the packing board or tube is very greatly increased.

The invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices, hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawingst-Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a corrugating machine and tube forming machine constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same on the plane indicated by, the

' line 8-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a detail per spective view of one form of packing board constructed in accordance with my invention with diagonal corrugations. Fig. 5 is a similar view, showing another form of my improved packing board. Fig. 6 is a sectional perspective view, showing a packing tube constructed in accordance with my invention.

Referring particularly to the machine shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, in accordance with my invention, I provide a pair of corrugating rolls 1 which are arranged side by side and are mounted for revolution in a suitable supporting frame 2 which is provided with bearings 3. These rolls are provided with corrugations 4 which are spiral, the pitch of which is about 45 and which gations engage.

is run between them to be corrugated thereby. In connection witlrthe pair of corrus. gatlng rolls, I provide feeding means such for instance, as a series of rollers 5 which are arranged to one side of the corrugating rolls.- Atthe opposite side of the corrugated rolls is a spindle 6 which is arranged at an angle of about 45 with respect to the rolls, is appropriately spaced therefrom and is provided with a suitable support 7. For

the'purposes of this specification, a crank handle 8 is shown connectedto the axis of one of the rolls to enable the rolls to be ro. tated in the direction indicated by the arrows, so as to cause them to provide a paper strip a fedbetweenthem, with bias or diagonal. corrugations Z). The paper strip or sheet fed to the rolls is initially gathered to some extent by the feed rolls;

In the operation of the machine, the tension on the strip or sheet of paper running between the corrugating rolls is such on the far side of the corrugating rolls as to tend to wind the strip or sheet spirally so as to form a tube 0011 the spindle. This tube is backed on its outer side by a paper backing d, glued or otherwise united thereto. hen desired, I can also put an inner facing on the sheet. The tube thus formed is provided with longitudinal corrugations on its inner side which extend therethrough from end to end and render the tube exceedingly strong. .lVhere the spindle is not employed the paper, as it'issues in corrugated form from between the corrugating rolls passes between forming rolls or devices 8 which are employed to paste either a single or double backing sheets on one or opposite sides of the corrugated sheet.

For the purposes of this specification, I show a packing board constructed in accord ance with my invention, which comprises a corrugated sheet a and a single-backing sheet 0, the corrugations I being diagonal, that .is to say, being substantially atf -an angle of 45 with respect to the edgesofthe packing board. In Fig. 5, I how another form of packing board in accordance with my invention in which two backing sheets indicated respectively at e and f. are employed, and
