UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-

GEORGE W. BEADLE, OF BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO SINGLE SERVICE PACK- AGE CORPORATION OF AMERICA, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

IPAPER-CARTON-MAKING MACHINE.'

Patented Sept. 29, 1914.

To all-wk om it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnoiicn \V. BEADLE, a citizen of the United States,, residing at Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper- Carton Making Machines; 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 invention relates to the manufacture of-tubes for paper cartons or vessels, and has for its object to produce a machine which will make such tubes from a strip of paper after cutting it into suitable lengths,-

wind said paper into form while gluing the parts together, print upon the paper, so it will appear upon the tube in its proper position, any desired legend, and one which will then close the end of the tube and perform other operations, as will appear hereinafter.

Herctofore the various steps required to make paper cartons have been performed on several separate and distinct machines, such for example, as a gluing machine for applying an adhesive to the paper strips, a tube winder for winding thestrips into tubes, a tube cutter for cutting'the tubes in proper lengths, a bottom forming machine for making the end closures of the tube, and a spinning machine for securing said closures to the tube. But, by this invention the cost of these various operations is greatly lessened, and the mechanism is preferably substantially of the shape and construction shown in the accompanying drawings.

The mechanism for placing end closures in the tubes after they are made is not specifically claimed herein, since it forms the subject of my divisional application filed on the 24th day of January, 1912, No. 673,084, but-it will be understood that the machine constituting the subject matter of said divisional case is operated from the same source of power as is this machine. Further the mechanism. claimed in this application including the revolving expansible mandrels and their coacting parts is especially designed for finishing the tubes, pre-' scnting them in the proper positions and firmly holding them in said positions while the mechanism claimed in said divisional application inserts end closures in the tubes thus presented and held, and then crimps the same securely'in said tubes. After the of the right hand side'of the machine; Fig.

2 is a side elevational view of the left hand side of the machine; Fig. 3 is a front elevational view; Fig. 4: is a plan View of the carton forming end of the machine; Fig. 5 is a plan View of the printin mechanism; Fig. 6 is an en arged detail front view of the bottom forming and spinning mechanism ;-Fig. 7 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view of the forming punch tional view taken on the line 88 of Fig. 7 and showin the bottom punched, formed, and inserte in the carton ready for spinning; Fig. 9 is a side elevational view of and cutting and die, and the paper feed; Fig. 8 1s a secrne end of the machine showing the printiug and cutting mechanism with the side frame removed for the sake of clearness; Fig. 10 is an enlarged side elevational view similar to. Fig. 9 but showing the parts in their relative position during the act of' printing; Fig. 11 is a horizontal sectional view showing the type frame and guides; Fig. 12 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 12-42 of Fig. 11; Fig. 13 is a detail perspective view of the printing frame;

Fig. 14 is a detail perspective view of one of the type clamping slides; Fig. 15 isa side elevational view of the gluing and winding mechanism with the side frame removed, and also showing the windin drive and a mandrel in winding position; Fig. 16 is an end elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 15 looking from the left; Fig. 17 is a vertical cross sectional view taken on the line 17-17 of Fig. 15; Fig. 18 is a horizontal cross sectional view taken on the line 18-18 of Fig. 15; Fig. 19 is a detail perspective view of one of the pa er guiding fingers with its operating mec aroll nism; Fig. 20 is a detail perspective view of thecarton ejecting mechanism and spinner driving cam; Fig. 21 is a detail view showing the carton being held by the safety latch in its ejected position; Fig. 22 is a detail.

' spinner; Fig. 24 is a horizontal cross sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 23 with a carton and bottom inserted therein ready for spinning; Fig. 25 is an end'view of the mandrel, and winding and ejecting sleeve. and showing the mandrel and forming plate removed; Fig. 26 is a cross sectional view taken onthe line 2626 of Fig. 24; Fig. 27 is a side elevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 28 is an end elevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 29 is a detail View of the spinner; Fig. '30 is a detail view of the mandreland forming plate; Fig. 31 is a detail plan view of the mandrel expanding and contracting cams; Fig. 32 is a side elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 31; Fig. 33 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3333 of Fig. 32; Fig. 34 is a diagrammatic view showing the working of the complete machine; Fig. 35 is a detail view showing a convolutely wound carton; Fig. 36 is a detail sectional view of a carton showing a bottom inserted therein; Fig. 37 is a detail sectional view. of a carton showing a finished bottom formed thereon; and, Fig. 38 is a perspective view of a finished carton.

The general operation of this machine may be understood from the diagrammatic View shown in Fig. 34 in which paper from the roll 36 is first severed into suitable lengths to form a convolutely wound carton, While a suitable legend is printed by the means'47 on the paper before it is wound and in the right position for it to appear at the proper place on the outside of the finished article. The printed strips of paper are next su plied with glue and wound as at A into to es, which are transferred to the point B, then, to position C, then to position D, where a suitable mechanism punches out and forms bottom closures from the paper carried by roll 155, and inserts these closures in the ends of the tubes. The tubes with the closures in place, are next transferred to position E where the closures and tube are subjected to a spinning operation to firmly fix the closures in thetube, and the finished cartons are finally ejected from the machine at F. These various mechanisms will now be described in detail, and their relations one with the other will also be pointed. out.

I I Referring first to Fig.2, power may be supplied by any suitable means asby a belt to the pulley 8. mounted on the shaft 7, carrying the pinion 6, meshing with the gear 5, mounted on the shaft 4, carrying the pinion 3, meshing with the gear 2, carried by the main power shaft 1, which latter distributes powcr to the various parts of the machine. The shaft 1 also carries the intermittent gear 9, meshing with the intermittent gear 10, mounted on the shaft 11, carrying the bevel gear 12, meshing with the bevel gear 13, carried by the shaft 14, which operates the press for forming the bottom closures, as will appear more fully below.

On the end of the shaft 1 opposite to that carrying the gear 2, is the gear 15, see Fig. 3. This gear meshes with the gear 16, and through the same operates a Geneva mechanism performing an operation and of a construction to be more fully described below, and said gear 16, through the shaft 17 operates a bevel gear 18, meshing with the bevel gear 19, carried by one end of the shaft 20. The shaft 20 shown in-Figs. 1 and 3 extends the entire length of the machine, and has on its other end the bevel gear 21, meshing with the bevel gear 22 mounted on the shaft 23, which latter shaft distributes power to the printing, cutting and paper feeding mechanism, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and now to be described. Mounted on said shaft 23 is the intermittent gear 24 meshing with the intermittent gear 25, mounted on the shaft 26, carrying the gear 27 meshing with the idler gear 30, driving the gear 28 on the shaft 31 and meshing with the gear 29 on the shaft 32. Carried by the shaft 31 is the paper feed roll 33, and carried by the shaft 32 is the feed roll 34, Figs. 5-and 9, while paper from the roll 36, carried by the bracket 37, is forced by said rolls into position to be cut into suitable lengths and to. have a suitable legend printed thereon by mechanism, as will now appear. A screw tensioning means 35 for adjusting the feed roll 34 is provided, as shown in said figures; while the mechanism for cutting the strips of paper 36 into suitable lengths is operated by the intermittent gear 38, also mounted on the shaft 23, which drives the small intermittent gear 39 mounted on the stud 40 which likewise carries the gear 41 meshing with the gear 42, mounted on'the outer end of shaft 43, see Figs. 1 and 5.

Carried on the inner end of the shaft 43 is a disk 44 which is provided with a crank pin 45. This crank pin, Figs. 5, 9 and 10, through the connecting rod 46 reciprocates the printing frame 47. The said printing frame 47 is preferably of the shape and construction shown in Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, and slides to and from the paper 36 between the guides 48, which are mounted on the cross frame 49 held to the sides of the machine.
