To all 'whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH T. Bonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Spencerville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Mar land, `have invented certain new and usegil Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Receptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the Same.

This inventionV relates primarily to paper packing or storage vessels, has especial ref- A erence to machines for making paper receptacles, has for its object improvements 1n the cation and claims.-

In the accompanying drawings, whichy form part of this specicationz--Figure 1 represents a side elevation of so much of the machine as is necessary to illustrate the invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3

is an elevation on line AB, Fig. 2. Fig. 4, is a detail vertical section on anfenlarged:

scale illustrating the transforming ring and the plunger. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of 'the capor closure as it comes from the press, and Fig. 6 is a like view of the same .after'i-t-bas been conformed to fitthe end of the body of a receptacle or cover.

Reference bei .meral 1 indicates the up r end of the co1- umn of the machine. 2 t revoluble platen or table supported on the column, 3 the mandrels attached to the table and on which the bodies and the covers of the receptacles are supported while the cap or closure is inserted and secured thereto by a lock-joint.

'4.- indicates the revoluble 'and vertically movable crimping-head, 5 the extension or bracket of the machine having a bearing 6, through which extends shaft 7 to which the vhead 4 is secured.

8 is the roller-bearing casing enagiesd by links 9, pivotall' connected to 'n 10, which are pivotal y connected to the bracket 5 at 11, as shown 1n Fig. 1 of the drawings, .only Aone of the links 9 and 10 being shown.

l2 indicates the rod attached to links 9 for imparting vertical motion t0 the bead 4,

had to the drawings vandV the-designating c aracters thereon .the nu,

` revoluble motion being imparted thereto by a pulley notshown, attached to shaft 7.

l? indicates the clamping-bands for securing the bodies or covers of receptacles to the mandrels 3, while the cap or closure 1s being lnserted. 14, 15,A and 16, the`o erating leversfor -the clam ing-bands, 1 the supporting-plate to whlch said levers are secured, 18 the cam for operating the levers 14 and 15, for applying the clam ing-bands, and 1 9 the cam suplportings aft. The clampmg-bands and t eir operating levers have been omitted from Fig. 1 to make improvements more conspicuous.

All of the foregoing parts are fully described in the ap licatlon of Joseph T. and Charles E. Bon Serial Number'613,337, and form no part of the present invention and need not therefore be furthenherein ellcidated.

n operating the machine, reat ditlicult has been experienced in lacixgl the caps oi" closures in the ends of t e `bo ies or covers of the receptacles by hand, and it not `infrequentlv occurred that'throughV the carelessness of the operator, more than one capY was placed in position for -enterin a body, and

thatthe cap would ynot enter t ebody under pressure by the hand, thereb resulting in waste of the cap and the ody, for the reason, the improperly placed ca and body passed on in the revolution ofA tlhe table to the crimping-head, which in its descent crushed and destroyed the cap and the body, resulting in great waste :ci material and fre quentlyinjuryl' To remed t is serious defect a cap conveyer an conformer has been provided, whose construction .will be described.

20 indicates a horizontal plate or capsupport which is secured to an extension 21 of the bracket 22, which supports the conforming ring 2 3, whose internal diameter Iis egual to the internal diameter of the body 24 o the rece tacle or the flange of a cover of a receptac e. The bore of the`x 23 ,is enlarged or beveled at its upper en 25 to facilitate the entrance ccf the ca 26, (the flange of which cap, in its norma condition is flared, as shown in Fig. 5) to the interior of the ring.

' 27 indicates an `arm attached to the shaft 19, is provided with a curved outer end 28 to conform to the external diameter of the caps, and is intermittently operated in the to the machine by choking.

serted in the upper end ofthe bodyof a receptacle 24, as shown in Fig. 4. The ring 23 is secured in the bracket 22 by means of clamping-bolt 32, shown in Fig. 2.

Vertical motion is imparted tothe plunger 31, by means o'f an arm 33 secured tov theupper end of the plunger-rod 34, pivoti ally secured to the bracket 5 at 35, and connected by rod 36 to one ofthe links 9, as shown in Fig. 1, by which connections the vertical motion of the crimping-head 4 and the like motion of the plunger V31 is synchronous; r1`he arm 27 is arrested at the proper time by the lower side thereof en-v gaging a cam 37 on block 38, raising the arm and` disengaging the projections29 andy 30, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, when the torsional s ring 39 on shaft 19, instantly returns t e arm 27` to its normal positionagainst stop 40, see Fig. 2. The plungerrod 34 is supported in a bearing 41 onl bracket 22, and is pivotally connected at 42 to the arm 33, as shown 1n Figs. 1 'and 2.

42 indicates a rail or flange on .each edge of the cap supporting-plate 17, to prevent caps being pushed ofi the plate by the operator when inserting them on the plate.

43 is a top-guard-rail which acts in conjunction with rails 42', and 44 is a guide or guard to prevent the caps tipping in their approach and entrance to t e formingring 23.

45 indicates a resilient member attached to the bracket 22 'in the path of revolution of the mandrels 3, and serves to press' down or return any receptacle bodies which` may have been raised by frictional contact or engagement of the plunger 31 withthe inner the plunger rises.

46' indicates means for wiping-od or displacing caps'26, which may rest on the upper end of the mandrels 3, on which failure has been made to place bodies 24, and remove them from the path of travel of the mandrels in the revolution of the table 2. rl`he member 46, which is preferably a resilient arm may be secured to the bracket 22 orto any other part'ofthe machine found con-` venient or preferable.

It is obvious that changes may be made in details of construction, without departin from the spirit of my invention.

avin thus fully described my invention, what I c aim is- 1. In a machine of the class described, a revoluble member, mandrels on said member wall of the vertical ange of the caps 26, as

Losanna for supporting the lbodies of receptacles, means for conveying caps or closures, a graduated cap conforming member, means for projecting caps through said conforming member and `into one end of each body engaginga mandrel, and a revoluble and vertically movable member for forming a joint between the body and the cap.

2. In a machine of the class described, a revoluble member, mandrels on said member -for supporting the bodies of receptacles,

means for conveying a cap or closure, a graduated conforming member, a plunger for projecting caps through said conforming member and inserting the ca s in one end of the bodies and means a jacentto said mandrels for forming a joint between the body and the cap.

3. ln a machine of the class described, a revoluble member, mandrels on said member forv supporting the bodiesof receptacles, means for conveying a cap or closure, a graduated capconformer adjacent to the mandrels, means for projecting a cap through said conformer and means for insertin a cap in one end of each body, and a revo uble and vertically movable member for forming alock ioint between the body and the cap.

4. 1n a machine of the class described, a means for supporting bodies `of receptacles, means for conveying caps or closures, a graduated cap conformer, means for projecting caps through said conformer and inserting them in one 'end of said bodies, and a revolubleand vertically movable member for forming a lock-joint between the body and the cap and operating in unison with the .means for inserting the caps in the bodies.

5. 1n a machine of the class described, means for supporting the body of a recep-l tacle, means for conveying a cap or closure, means including a ring. and a plunger for conforming and inserting a cap or closurein one vend of said body, a revoluble and vertically movable member for lforming a' lockjcint between the body and the cap, and means for connecting the plunger of the conformer and the support .of said revoluble member.

6. ln a machine of the class described, a revoluble table, supports for the bodies of receptacles, clamping-members for engaging said bodies, means for operating the clamping-members, means for conveying caps or closures operatively connected with the means for operating the clamping-members, means for conforming and inserting said caps in the bodies of the receptacles, and means for forming a lock-joint between the bodies and the caps.

7. In a machine of the class described, a revoluble member, mandrels on said member for supporting the body of a receptacle,
