delivery mechanism for paper folding ma'-V chines and the like, and has for its object the provision of automatic. means for consecutively delivering folded sheets of paper or signatures as they may be dropped thereon in any desired manner.

Moreover, it has been my intent to avoid as far as possible, the necessity for adjust-- ing my improved machine to suit the requirements of dlfferent classes of work. ln order to accomplish this, it has been necessary `to depart from the features which distinguish timed, mechanically-actuated delivery tables and resort to the principle of initatingthe cycle of operations with the entrance of a signature to the machine; retaining the mechanism inert during its passage and release the machine for completing its cycle, upon the expulsion of said signature, as by the delivery rolls thereof.

Again, I have sought to control the movement of a traveling delivery table directly by the passage of the several 'sheets or signa-v tures, and have further provided against damage to the machine itself and the product handled thereby, through the provision of means for automatically controlling the driving power, as hy'an electric switch controlling a motoror relay.

The delivery mechanism about to be described is not restricted in its -use to any particular associated machine or driving mechani and in consequence l willn'ot describe these adjunct-s further than to make'A reference thereto for the purpose of explaining my invention and` its preferred structure and operation.

The embodiment of my improvements will be more readily understood by making reference to the accompanying drawings wherein i Figure 1 is a plan view of the delivery mechanism embodying my improvements, partly broken away and in section; omitting the lower extremity of the traveling delivery table.

Throughout the Several ligures of the drawings, I have employed the same character of reference to indicate similar parts, and various section-lines are indicated upon vthe drawings by the appropriate dotted lures, which are self-e-planatory.

As indicated above, my improvements are adapted for use in issociation with printing and folding appare-ens of any desirable or suitable type, which need not be explained herein, except to point out that preferably they are oriven by a common motor device, such as an electric, motor. The installation which l shall describe as embodying my invention., is electrically driven and an automatic controlling switch-therefor constii tutes a part of my improvements herein disclosed.

Referring rst to Fig. 3, the iving gear associated with suitable f "dii echanism, is indica-ed o5/'dotted time@ and this is positioned at the right hand of the-machine and is not snown in said section. Driving power is transmitted to the machine through the lower of the two delivery' rolls 1, 2, which receive the'paperorsignatune from the folding machine. Roll 1 is stationarily journaled in the frame 3, while roll 2 is joui'- naled in a pivoted arm .2, connected by link 2 with the release or escapementl. The eseapement directly controls the cam-shaft through which the delivery mechanism and delivery table are directly actuated. This cam-shaft normally has a constant Atendency' to be. rotated in a clock'wise direction through the train of gears 6, 6, 6 and 7 7.

Referring 'particularly to Figs. 4,-6 and 10, it will be seen that the cam-shaft is composite in its character, embracing the sleevemember 8 mounting the Ifear 7', which is loose upon shaft 5 and isadapted constantly to drive the friction-clutch 9 during the op eration of the machine by means of the pin 8. Normally, the shaft 5 is held against rotation by the lower arm 4 of the escapeA ment member, which engages with one or the other of detents 10, mounted upon shaft 5 in the plane of said member 4. These detents are positioned at 18() degrees and are keyed upon shaft to rotate or be withheld from rotation in common with duplicate cams 1l and l2. also positioned at 1H() degrecs, but timed to engage their respective controlling arms l1' and 12' at different intervals, as will be later explained. The mutilated gear 115 also rotates in common with detents 11') and rams inst mentioned` and is cut vwith ratchet teeth and two plane faces 13', each of the latter permitting,r a rotation of some 30 degrees before meshing with the cti-actingr ratchet ojear lil.

Referring particularly to Fig. i), the relation of the ratchet and mutilated gear duringvtheir meshing or driving period is liest illustrated for the purpose of further cxlilanation. The gears 6, 7 and lil are mounted upon a eonnnon shaft l-l, and are ea'intinuously driven duringr the operation of the machine. The right hand end of said shaft 'is ]ournaled in a pivoted bracket lil' and a tension springsr lll serves to secure sullirient'flexibility of the drivingr migraine nient between l:gears 13, 13. to avoid break am at the moment mrhing.

From the foregoing. it will be understood that the controlling shaftl 5 has a constant tenda-nov to be`driven through the gear l and l'rietion-rluteh although the. latter normall)1 imparts merely the initial tendenev to rotate, while the positivedrive of said shaft is intermittently seeured through the :millet-rut gearsrl, lil". when Athrown into mesh. ln other words. the several rauzs are withheld from operation duringr fluI passagiof a sheet or signature between the deliverv rolls. but surh passage initiales the release liv the eseapeuu-nt. so that iinmedian-lv the .snnalure is expelled l`rom` said rolls, the delivery mechanismisthrown of their intermittent into operation. This results from the mounting of the upper delivery roll in such manner as directly to control the escapement-member 4, first to release its lower detent and engage the one uppermost, and then release the upper detent and permit a half revolution of the controlling-shaft with its actuating cams.

Referring to Figs. 4 and G, it will be seen that link 2, connected with the long arm of lever 2', is attached'to lever 15 upon the shaft 15', which mounts the escapementmember 4. Lever l5 is secured to said shaft and is connected to actuate the escapement-member 4, through the medium of a spring l6 and sleeve 1G', which is loose upon said shaft. Stop 16 carried by the. lug 1T affords a lower rest for the eseapementmember, which 1s thus resihently connected.

to be actuated in a ratio of approximately 20 to l, as compared with the movement of the upper delivery roll 2. A coiled spring;r li at the end of shaft 15', reacts against a collar 17 thereon, to secure the normal engagement of arm -l with either one of the detents 10 whichhappens to be in the lower position. Accordingly, the escapenientmember will have an appreciable movement sufficient to clear the engaged detent, both upon the entrance and exit of a folded sheet of paper o'r signature to or from the delivery rolls. Shaft lb carries the actuating lever l2' and shaft 1f) actuating;r lever ll'. which respectively are adapted to be engaged by the timed cams l?. and l1 mounted upon the controlling,r shaft 5. lever lil and link lil" operatively rouneet shafts l) and 2() (Fig. l) for simultaneous actuation. Shaft lo is equipped with a plurality of curved grippers 2l, which normally lie within grooves l" rut in the lower delivery roll lie-.A lever arm 22 mounts a pin 122', which palsses within a slot '.l rut in the reriproratingr bar 22'. rl`his is pivoted to a 2gripping,r eluteh-nuuuher 2l. and is normally held against the adjusting screw 22 by means ol' the eoiled spring,A il (see Figs. -l and :7). '.l`he member il is pivofed in turn upon the ring or sleeve 25, which is equipped with a loingr tension sprinpr 155 lending: to rotate said ring and'clutch-mem lier. 'l`luupper roll 2f; of the delivery table is formed with a terminal flange 't' and a slot Z-l" in the el:Itoh-member :il of slightly greater width than said flange, fits thereon and is rramped against the. sides of the flange by' means of the springs L'l'. livoted upon the journal bearing of `roll 2G, there is provided a similar clutch numher 2T. engaging the flange. within its slot :37"V

and grrippimgr the same through the medium` of the spriir;r a'. lt will he seen that springs 2l and JT art in opposite directions to frauip their resprrtive elolrlruirlu` bers upon the flange 2li. ly reason of its IBO pivotal mountinr upon the sleeep, clutchmeinber a. ptedto be actuated by lever arm and. link 23, and thereby imparts 'a predeteirined adjustable movement to the clutelrmember and roll 26.

Eefilnf new to Figs. 3, 11 and 12, it is seen that the bed of the delivery table comprises a. canvas band 23, extending the ull wirV l of the mC bine and provided at interval" with transverse strips 23', through me um of which roll serves in turn 39'.' The upper end of the delivery table is provided with standards 31, which support a sha/t31 carrying the depressing shoes 32 at the ends of weighted arms 32. It was previously mentioned that the link '19 serves to connect shafts 19 and 20 for simultaneous actuation. Asbest shown in Figs. l and'l, shaft 2O ext.

the machine and is provided with a plurality ot' depressing members 20', which are l with'said shaft, but are normally in their elevated position by i of the terminal spring Link .19, hlmfever, is not rigidly connected with shalt, but has a flexible or spring connection, best shown in Figs. 13 and 14. liinl' 39"" i." ivoted to lug 33, which is sleeved upon shaft 2O and ari'ords an actuating .stud and stop 33", reacting against the end of the spring 33". The opposite end of said .spring engages a pin 3l carried by the collar 2.14, .'hic'n is secured to shaft 30 and thereby 'series to oscillate the saine, together with its depressing members 20. A frame 35, also rigidly carried upoir said shaft, insulatingly mounts the gripping contacts f'r an electric switch blade 36. Said blade is pivotally mounted upon the extension .of lug 33, vand is provided with a snapzspring 3tending tio open the switch, which normally is resisted oy-the gripping contacts 35.

The diagram of Fig. 14 illustrates the -iand sides of a power circuit, wherein the electric motor3r and its rheostat 37 are. Connected for ctuating the folding machine and associated deliveryT mechanism herein explained.

Vith the .structural features abovedescribed clearly in mind, it is seen that the intermittent operation of the delivery mechanism must depend primarily upon the movement of the delivery roll, and more directly upon. the rotationpo" the composite cam-shaft 5 10). The sleeved gear 7 audits connected friction-clutch 9, are constantlyA driven upon shatt, during the operation of the machine. This clutch is a toste the travelin Y deliverv table. The- ...ds the entire width separately illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, comprising two opposing blocks 38, 39, which are semicylindrically recessed and faced with leather bushings 40 to engage shaft 5.

, Screws 33, rQand an interposed spring 39" positive drive is desirable for actuating thecains and their associated mechanism.

The operation of my improved machine may-,now be quite easily comprehended. The signatures may be individually supplied to the delivery rolls in any desired manner, as from'aprinting press, a folding machine, a delivery table, or even by hand. As each signature is entered between the delivery rolls 1, Q, the latter is elevated by the thickness or body ot the folded paper and this move; ment ismultiplied by the arm 2 link 2 and its connection with 4the escapement 4, so that the' arm 4' is at once released from the engaged detent 10. The arm 4 of said escapement, ho\\ever,is simultaneously drawn down sufficiently to engage the uppermost detent 10, which is pivotally rotated to engage said arm, together with the camshaft, approximately through an arc of 30 degrees. By means of the spring connection, the es- `capement-member has considerable latitude of movement with respect to roll 2 and its connecting mechanism, regardless of the thickness of the signature. The cams are. so positioned upon shaft that neither of the actuating levers is engaged during its initial rotation, which, however, has placed the mechanism in condition for Iimmediate and independent operation as soon as the rear edge of the signature has passed from the delivery rolls. Immediately this occurs, the upper roll drops slightly into engagement with the lower roll and this movement releases the upper detent 10, and permits shaft to be further rotated. Instantly the ratchet gears 13', 13 are in mesh and shaft with its connected cams iS positively driven through an arc of approximately 150 degrees with the followingsequence of actua-tion.

Cam 12 first engages lthe lever 1Q', which serves immediately to retract the curved grippers and thereafter actu-ate the lower clutch-member 24 upon the upper roll of the deliverytgiblo. This is accomplished through the mdium of the lever 22, bar 23 and the slotted clutch-member 2l, which grips the flange 2G and rotates the roll 2G, together with attached band 2S, the desired distance for receiving each signature in turn. This controllable through the medium-of the .adjusting screw Q3", which regulates the position of engagement of pin 22 with slot 23 (Fig 4) The upper clutch-member, it ivill be remembered, is stationary and permits the lange to slip through the slot. when rotating in a clock wise direction (Fig. 4),'hut prevents any reverse. rotation of the roll, ny its grip upon the flange 2G. The continued rotation'of shaft 5 (and of course these operations occur in very rapid sequence) serves to engage cani 11 vvith the lever arm 11', lie-fore the operations aliove described haveheen completed. This in turn actuates shafts 19 and 20 through the connecting link 19, and nor mallyengages the depressing niemhers 2U ivitli the signature which has just heen expelled from the delivery rolls and "r-allen upon the delivery table iu its slightly advanced position, The lshoes 32 are upwardly inclined at such an angle as to permit the passage of the forward edge of each signature heneatli the same, as is Well shown in Fig. l1. The positions of these shoes 32 may he adjusted upon the deliver)7 tahle to correspond with vthe length of the Jfold,- ed signature. lnltially a wooden hlocl: ll is positioned upon the deliver)Y 'tahleg the. saine hav-iupr an inclined face to receive and maintain the signatures approximately iii horizontal layers.

Referring to Fig. 12, which showsthe `lower end of the delivery table, it iS seen that the traveling band will carry the overlaid stack of' signatures directly upon the curved sheet-metal receptacle or chute 30, which causes them to assume approximately an edgeivise position and enables the attendant to gather quantities of stacked sig` natures more readily from time to time, as they have accumulated. During their progress down the delivery table, said si atures are initially depressed hy the mem ers 20" held hf.' the curved grippers 21 and retained evenly iirplace by the hlock 41 and the Shoes the table as soon as it is carried to the lower end thereof hy the travel of the canvas band.

Consideration of the foregoing description of the mechanism employed and the resultant 'functions of the operations thereof, will` serve -sharply to differentiate my improved delivery mechanism .from those which are timed to operate at definite inte!` vals. liistead. it is seen that tli'e entrance of the paper or signature between the delivery rolls immediately serves to place the mechanism in condition for performing its sequence of operation and as this is not at all dependent upon the length of the signature. or its thickness, my improved mechauism requires no individual adjustment for each successive run of work. This results ll'rom the l'act that the release or expulsion of ein-h successive sheet or signature from hetiveeu the delivery rolls serves instantly to release the actuating mechanism and rauses the machine to complete its Cycle of operation.

"l`lie simple automatic. disconnection of pon-er a highl",v advantageous feature;

In ma7 elunes of this class, which ordinarily act upon folded sheets' or signatures having several l'olds` hotli the gripping and depressing devices are commonly used to prevent the .signatures from opening. and thereby cause them to lie evenly upon the 'delivery table. However. with certain classes of Work, vthe grippers and depressing: members have been dispensed ivilli.
