Description
J. J. Q UIGLEY. ENVBLOP MOISTENING AND SEALING DEVICE;
APPLICATION FILED MAR. 6,1913. 1,086,081. Patented Feb. 3, 1914.
I a v ATTORN-EYI JOHN J. QUIGLEY,
0F VERONA, PENNSYLVANIA.
ENVELOP MOISTENING AND SEALING DEVTCE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 3, 1914.
Application filed March 6, 1913. Serial No. 752,355.
1 b all whom, it may concern Be it known that L'Joniv J. QUIGLEY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Verona, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envelop Moistening and Sealing Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. 1
This invention relates to an envelop moistening and sealing device, and the primary object of my invention is to provide a novel d vice for expeditiously and economically folding, moistening and sealing the flaps of envelops, thereby obviating the necessity of using a sponge, or licking the flap of an envelop.
Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the above type that can be advantageously used in large oflices and mer cantile houses where a large number of letters are daily mailed and ordinarily require considerable time to be sealed.
A further object of this invention is to provide an envelop moistening and sealing device consisting of comparatively few parts that are inexpensive to manufacture, durable and highly efficient for the purposes for which it is intended.
lVith the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.
Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a device in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of a platform adapted to form part of the device.
Further describing my invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts throughout: 1 denotes a rectangular base and secured upon said base, at the ends thereof by screws 2 or other fastening means are the lateral flanges 8 of end walls 4.
5 denotes an oblong receptacle riveted or otherwise connected, as at 6 to the confronting sides of the end Walls 4, said receptacle having an inclined and rounded bottom and a flat top plate 7 The receptacle is adapted 4 in proximity to the receptacle.
11 denotes a rectangular casing having a front wall 12, a rear wall 13 and end walls 14 of less depth than the walls 12 and 13,
said end walls resting upon the upper edges of the walls 4 and coeperating with the base 1 in supporting the casing. The front wall 12 is an oblong entrance opening 15 and the rear wall 13 has an oblong outlet opening 16.
Pivotally connected to the walls 4: by a rod 17 are the apertured ears 18 of a tiltable platform 19. This platform, adjacent to the ends thereof, is provided with sockets 20 and secured in said sockets are the upper convolutions of coiled compression springs 21 that have the lower convolutions thereof mounted in the base 1, as at 22. The inner edge of the platform 19 has angularly disposed bearings 23 supporting a lower revoluble roller 25 that cotiperates with the upper roller 10 in sealing an envelop.
25 denotes an envelop that has been diagrammatically illustrated and this envelop has a flap 26. lVith the flap 26 open, said flap is inserted through the opening 15 to engage the roller 10 and said flap is directed upwardly between the roller and the receptacle 5 until the envelop 25 rests upon the platform 19. As the envelop is further pushed into the device the flap 26 is shifted against the upper edge of the wick 9 and by pushing the envelop between the rolls 10 and 24, the moistened flap is gradually closed and sealed by the rollers. The platform 19 and the roller 24 are yieldably supported in order that these elements can adjust themselves to envelops of various thicknesses.
By removing the casing 11 the receptacle 5 can be replenished and the device maintained in a clean and sanitary condition.
One embodiment of my invention has been illustrated but it is to be understood that the structural elements are susceptible to such variations and modifications as fall Within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is 1. A device of the type described comprising a base, end walls carried thereby, an oblong receptacle supported by said end walls and adapted to contain a liquid, a wick arranged within said receptacle and extending over an end thereof, a sealing roller revolubly supported by said walls, a casing fitted over said walls and having entrance and outlet openings, a platform, a rod connected to the platform and mounted in said walls whereby the platform is pivotally supported, and a revoluble sealing roller supported by said platform and adapt ed to cooperate with the first mentioned roller in sealing an envelop.
2. A device of the type described comprising a base, end walls carried thereby, an oblong receptacle supported by said end walls and adapted to contain a liquid, a wick arranged within said receptacle and extending over an end thereof, a sealing roller revolubly supported by said walls, a casing fitted over sa d walls and havingentrance and outlet openings, a platform pivotally supported by said walls, a revoluble sealing roller supported by said platform and adapted to cooperate with the first mentioned roller in sealing an envelop, and means within said casing for yieldably supporting said platform and the roller thereof.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JOHN J. QUIGLEY.
