MICHAEL PARIDON, OF BARBERTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
PROCESS OF TREATING WOODEN BOX-SHUCKS.
Application led March 14, 1916.
To @ZZ whom t may concern Be it known that I, MICHAEL PARIDON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Barberton, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Processes of Treating lVooden Box-Shucks, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple, efficient and economical process of' squaring7 the open ends of wooden box-- shucks for the purpose of facilitating the association of the trays therewith.
My invention 4is more particularly designed for the treatment of the wooden shucks or covers of match boxes.
As is well known a wooden match-box shuck comprises a strip of thin veneer bent into appropriate form having its ends overlapped and glued together to constitute one of the narrow longitudinal sides of the shuck; a thin paper label being glued or pasted to the tubular body. The edges of the material at the ends of the shuck warp or turn inward and thus distort and contract the rectangular end openings, thereby rendering it difficult to insert the complementary match tray into the shuck. Hence in machines for filling and closing match boxes of the type mentioned it has heretofore been necessary to employ mechanical means for spreading the ends of the shucks in order to enable the insertion of the filled trays thereinto.
I have discovered that by moistening the interior of the wooden shucks, the fibers of the wood expand and straighten out the' ends of the shuck; or in other words, the end openings are squared to permit the ready insertion of the tray thereinto without the employment of any mechanical opening device whatever.
In carrying out my invention in the preferred way I arrange the shucks side by side and move them along a path which is intersected by a jet of steam or vapor from a suitably-disposed nozzle in such a manner that the fluid enters thev open ends of the shucks successively presented thereto. Thence the shucks are advanced to a station where trays and their contents are pushed endwise into the successive shucks. The ends of the shucks in their passage to the trays are squared by the action of the moisture or Water of condensation on the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 5, 1916. Serial No. 84,021.
fibers of the wood, but after the association of the tray and shuck the moisture in the shuck material evaporates, and the ends of the shuck thereupon resume their previous inturned or warped condition and tend to lock the tray within the shuck.
In the drawings which illustrate the preferred mode of procedure-Figure 1 is a plan of part of a match-box filling machine employing a tray-and-shuck conveyer and means for endwise pushing the trays into the opposing open ends of their complementary shucks, showing a steam or vapor nozzle arranged adjacent the path of the outer ends of the shucks. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section, as on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse vertical section adjacent the nozzle, as on the line 33 of Fig. Q, showing more clearly the mode of introducing the steam or vapor into the shuck. Fig. Jf is a longitudinal vertical section of an ordinary wooden match-box shuck, showing its in-turned end portions. Fig. 5 is an end view thereof. Figs. G and 7 are views similar to Figs. 4f and 5, respectively, of the shuck immediately after it has been treated according to my invention.
Referring to the drawings, 10 designates a bed, and 11 a continuously traveling trayand-shuck conveyermounted to travel thereon. This conveyor comprises, in the form illustrated, relatively wide metal links jointed together to constitute an endless chain. It is provided with two longitudinally-extending rows of transverse channels or pockets, one row being designed to receive and carry the shucks 12 and the other row to receive and carry the complementary trays 13. At a suitable point on the bed are reciprocable plungers 11 which are carried by a conveyer traveling adjacent to and concertedly with the tray-and-shuck conveyer. A suitably-disposed stationary camway 15 on the bed receives studs 16 on the respective plungers during their travel, and effects their timely reciprocation toward and from the trays in such a manner that the plungers push the opposing trays endwise into their complementary shucks.
17 designates a nozzle which on a bracket 18 affixed to the bed plate adjacent to the tray-and-shuck conveyer, such nozzle being positioned to discharge toward the open ends of the progressive shucks on is supported in advance of the tray-inserting mechanism to insure the eilicient straightening action of the moisture on the in-turned ends of the shucks before the trays are entered thereinto.
The mechanism herein illustrated as an efficient Way to carry out my novel process forms the subject of a separate application iiled simultaneously herewith for Letters Patent of the United States.
I claim# 1. A process of treating Wooden boX- shucks preparatory to their association With trays, which process comprises moistening that end of the shuck into which the tray is to be entered.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for steam or vapor, and hence theV ve cents each, by addressing the Q. A process of treating Wooden boX- shucks for the purpose of straightening the ends thereof preparatory to their association with trays, which process comprises moistening the interior of the shucks.
3. A process of treating Wooden boX-v shucls for the purpose of straightening the ends thereof preparatory to their association with trays, Which process comprises introducing steam or vapor into the interior of the shucks. Y
4. A process of treating Wooden boxshucks for the purpose of straightening the ends thereof preparatory to their association With trays, which process comprises moving the said shucks consecutively to and across the path of a jet of steam or v apor which enters the progressing shucks.
Signed at Barberton, in the county ot Summit and State of Ohio, this 11th day of March, A. D. 1916.
