IIIBAPRO'YTEIMENT IN MAGHINS'TOR'MKINGMPAPER CQLLAISp The Schedule referred to in than Pafentand partl of the samal rangement of the feed-rolls, so that the paper mustH pass 'the embosscrs before it enters between the feedrolls, the object being to draw thc paper from the embosseis, instead of pushing it through from the front.

The other parts of our invention relate to the arrangenieufof the cutters and embossers upon two separatc heads, the :ma ngexnent of the feed-rolls between these heads, andthe'nechauism for actuating these heads', the objects ,being to make the machine more certain in dits operation, less likely to become deranged,

and generally better and more practical.v

In the accompanying drawing- ".*Figure 1 is a side elevation;

Figure-2, a central vertical section-from front to i Figure 3, a front elevation.

The other iignr'es show details.

B and C arc two cross-heads, each operated at the .same time by the levers G G, which are pivoted .at their fnlcrnms H H, to the tia'meeA.

These levers are connected'wththc heads by means of thedjustable connecting-rods D E. '.Lhellejgids'cxfy 'is'obrionsly highly preferable to the former.

tend ,through ways 'in the frame A.

. The? rodsare made adjustable by means of the thnmlrscrews fj, in order to regulate the rise and fall of the heads.

The levels .G v(.lr areoscilated bymeznis of eccentrics upon the'shaft J, to which they are connectedby thc rods d d, and to this shaft the motive power is applied.

' The feed-rolleis g Ii. are actuated by means of the,

wheel P, which is connected by. the rod 0 to the seg mental lack M, and thus oscillates thc rack and its pinion L.

This' pinion is connected with thc latchet-wheel K by the pawl S and the -aria r, and this ratchetwhcel is attached directly to the roller h, so that, when the pinion L-'is revolved by thc rack in one direction, no motion is imparted to rthe ratchetfwheel l, but, when in the other direction, its motion is imparted to this ratchet-wheel, and to thc. roller to which it is attached.

'lhc button-hole cutters' and the enibossers are :ichV

, andthe, shown in liga. 4 unl c a areithe end button-hole cutteracapable of adjustment for the dirent sizes of collars. .The matrix of the central button-hole cntter'is shown in iig. 5, and both punch and matrix in iig-2.

The paper is fed into the machine beneath the head G, and between the feed-rolls. The head@ descends and embosse's c ne collar and button-holes another, while the headB descends and' cuts cnt theecllar, which 4hasbeen cmbossedand button-holed, so' that each isacted upon three times; twice by the head O,

.rsa to' button-hole it, andl second,- to emboss it, 'and thirdly, by thc head B', to cnt it out, three separate collars being acte'rl npcn at'each revolution of the machine. While the heads rise, the feed-rolls are ref volved, and thus feed the paper the proper distance,

to lniu'gr the collarwhich .hasjnst been einbnssedjntatA the proper position to be out out'.

- vThe button-hole cutters may beurrenged in relationA to thc embossers, so that the same' collar .maybe I button-holed andenibossed at the same time, ory the button-holingmaybc done in the old way,on a sepzw rate machine; we prefer, however, the way shown.

So far as'ive know, the paper has,heretofore,alwaysv passedbctween the feedrolls before it was actednpon by the einbossers`, or, indeed acted upon at all, except i'n thcscases .wh cre 'the cmbossers were a part ot' the feed-rolls; conseqnen tl y, it was always pushed toward,

L and. never has heretofore been drawn away from' the embosselrs by the feed-rolls, which latter arrangement When the cutters and embossers are upon the same head', the cutters are liable to be disarranged by the actionjof the einbosScrs. To-obviate this diilicnlty, we

are also enabled to a'range the feed-rolls between these two heads, and to apply to the headsa varying amount of power, as it is well-known that less power i s required" to'actnate the cutting-liead than the embossing-head.

' We do not claim all means of imparting a different `degree of power to the heads, as the principle of this part of our invention consists in theuse of a lever,

which drives the heads, so that one head shall have' less motion and more power than the other, by reason ot' thc heads' being .connected at diierent points of the' leren'. lhc mechanism for connecting, the levers and the heads is the best Aknownamln sfl'rnt it is obvious .thatot-hcr lncchanismsefor this purpose may be devised.

We dc'not claim the combination of a feeding-mech- Y anisin with an cmbosser and plunger, and punch and die, as this ieoldgand is described inthe patenttgmnted to l). M. Smyth, Decemberv 5, 1860; .but the mech- :miem described in that Nient WM impcrfect.'fnr' the ,i propei"relation between the stitching :md the edge of the Cohan'. v

This puiof our im'ent-ion is an impx'oxement Yupon the Smyth machine, ami consists wholly in substituting for the reciprocating mbie and -giiping fingers of Sinjsih's machine, the feed-mils, whoreby'we make n much moreaccuiaiie :md practicai machine, thenuniber of inperfect eoliars, i. .,'imperfect.Y by reason of thestitcningnoi. being in the proper relation to tho alge, being'duced more #han ihren-quarters.

imm

1. The arrangement, as above described, ofthe feedrols ami the. embossexs, so that the paper Iba be drawn away from the emhossers by the feed-rolls.

2. The arrangement of -'che feedroiis between two separate heads, the fn'sb of which nctnates the embosscm, :md the second the cutters, as desclibe.

3. The combination of the overs and the two sep- :1ra te, hoods. substantially as described.
