Mechanism is provided for intermittently operating the paper-feed andt agglutinantare to be applied vary considerably and, the

work of applying the strips can be facilitated if each strip of paper severed from the continuousplength is approximately of the length of one end or side of the box. Tlns mechanism is operable by a foot-lever or trea'dle l8 which is pivoted in a .bracket 49,'

which is secured to the floor and'operated inone direction or retr'acted by a spring 50.

A rod 5l has its lower end connectedto lever 48 and its upper end to a sprocket chain 52 which extends around a sprocket-wheel 53 i; and is connectedto a rod 53 to. which a,

spring .54 is applied to retract the chain after each operation, of lever L8. 'Sprockeb wheel 53 has a one-way operating connecf tion with a shaft 57 which is journaled in a bracket 58 on table 10, comprising one-way clutch teeth on the hub of sprocket-wheel 53 and co-acting teeth on a disk ormember 59 which is rigidly secured vto said shaft, the

with said-member. By this means, downward movement of lever 48 will operate shaft 57 in one direction, to operate the shaft '57 and the paper-feed and agglutinant-aplying devices will remain stationary. Shaft 57 serves to drive roll 19, by means of V a gear-wheel 6l secured to said shaft and [meshing with a pinion 62 secured to the Roll 20 is operated by shaft ofsaid roll. gears 63 and 64: secured to the shafts of Roller 43 is 64.3 Endless wires 24 are driven in synchronism with the paper-feed, by a pulley 66 secured to-rotate with gear 64, a belt 67, and a pulley 68 on the shaft of roller '26. jRoller 27 is driven by the wires 24:.

The strip of paper on wires 24: having the agglutinant applied to its underside passes beneath a cross-bar or cutter 69 which is support forthe boxes'to which the strips are tobeapplied, so that they will be in con- 'venient position to have the strips applied thereto."

I The operation of the improved machine will 'be'as follows: During each operation of lever 48, the .rolls 19 and 20 will draw the paper from'roll ll'and roll 20 will apply agglutinant to the under face of the strip as it passes between these rolls. T hejpaper with the aggliitinant thereon, will becarried forwardly under cutter 69, by endless wires 24, into position to be graspedby the operator and to'rnofl at cuter (59. he operator may then apply this strip to'the box; By

discontinuing the downward'movement of lever 48 at different points, the paper-feed "will be varied,so that the length of thestrip in front of cutter 69 will vary 'and the-operator may readily tear off the pasted strips inthe different lengthssdesired.

the combination of a pair of feed rolls for a. Y

continuous strip of material, means for sup plying agglutinant to one of the'rolls, a stationary cutter, anjendless conveyer for supporting the strip after the agglutinant has been applied thereto and extending from one of the rolls to a point beyond the cutter to support the portion of the strip which is to be severed, and mechanism for conjointly operating said rolls and said conveyer, the latter bein disposed to support a portion of the strip where it will be torn off by the sta tionary cutter as said strip portion is removed from the conveyor.

2. In a machine of the character described, the combination of a pair of feed rolls for a continuous strip of material, means for supplying agglutinant to one of the rolls, a stationary cutter, an endless conveyer for supporting the strip after the agglutinant has been applied thereto and extending from one of the rolls to a point beyond the cutter to support the portion of the strip which is to be severed, and mechanism for intermittently and conjointly operating said rolls and said conveyer,said mechanism being operable to advance strips of di'lferent lengths beyond the cutter, the conveyer supporting the strip at a point where the portion to be severed will be torn off by the stationary cutter as said portion is removed from the conveyer.

3. In a machine of the character described, the combination of a pair of feed rolls for a continuous strip of material, means for supplying agglutinant to one of the rolls, a stationary cutter, an endless C011- veyer for supporting the strip after the agglutinant has been applied thereto and exnism for intermittently and conjointly operating the rolls and the conveyer comprising a vertically movable lever, a one-way driving connection and a flexible connection between the lever and the one-way connection, the lever being operable to operate the connection any desired extent according to the length of the strip to be severed, the conveyer being disposed to support a portion of the strip where it will be torn 0E by the stationary knife as the strip is removed'from the conveyer.

4. In a machine of the character described, the combination of a pair of feed rolls for a continuous strip of material, one of which has peripheral grooves therein, means for supplying agglutinant to one of the rolls, a stationary cutter, endless wires for supporting and conveying the strip after the agglutinant has been applied and extending under, adjacent and beyond the nism for conjointly operating said rolls and said wires to feed a portion of the strip beyond the Wires, said Wires being extended to support said portion of the strip and disposed so that said portion will be torn off by the knife as it is removed from the wire.
