' App1icat"in :1ed December 10, 1915. Serial No. 66,176.

To all whom it may concern:

Be-it known that I, EMIL .JAcENennc, a subject of the German Emperor, ,and resident of 1 07 Himmelgeisterstrasse, Dusseldorf, Germany, manufacturer, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Pasting Sheets on Boxes and Parcels, of which the following is a state ment. The present invention relates to a machine for pasting sheets on boxes and parcels.

The essential feature of the new machine consists in the arrangement of the sheet applying attachment beside a shaft, 1n wh ch the boxes are conveyed from one. conveying means to another. By this arrangement it is rendered possible, that the sheets are pasted on the boites, while these are being transferred from" the supplying conveyor to a secondconveyer.

The invention further relates to other new constructionalfeatures, which are disclosed in a detailed manner in the hereinafter following description and specified in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings a constructional form of the labeling machine has been shown by way of exempliiication.

Figure 1 is a side elevation,

Fig. 2 is a plan,

Fig. 3 a vertical section on'the llne Al3 in Fig. 2;

Figs. 4 and 5 C-D in positions.

Fig. 6 is a section on the line E-F. I

Figs. 7-11 show the sheet in venous positions during the pasting process.

To the bedplate 1 of the machine are seare sections on the line cured four standard bearings 2, in which" rollers 3, 4, 5 and 6 are journaled. These rollers form two superimposed labeling arrangements, as have been substantially de scribed in the United States Patent 860,148 dated July 16, 1907, Patent No. 1,143,968 dated June 22, 1915. The drive is eifected from the shaft 7 by meansof the shafts 8 and the bevel gears 9. As all rollers are provided withintermeshing gears 10 they roll on each other, the rollers 3, 4 conveying the glue from the glue vessel 11 to the segments of the rollers 5 which draw the sheets from the piles 12 and transfer them to the segments of the rollers 6, on which the sheets are held by means of the grippers 14. The piles of sheets stand on Fig. 2 in two' different opelative and the United States I slides 15, which may. be reciprocated in guides 16 on the standards 2 by means of lovers 18. These levers ride with rollers 19 on cam disks 20 fitted to shaft 5.

In'the bedplate 1 a belt pulley 21 is journaled, which is intermittently driven by means of the ratchet gear 22 and the rod gear 23 from a cam, fitted to shaft 7. Over pulley 21 is laid a conveyor belt 24, which feeds the boxes or parcels 25 from any suitable point to the machine. .Behind the pulley two plates 26 are fitted to vertically displaceable rods 27'which are adapted to be simultaneously raised and lowered bythe lever 28 of a cam 29 fitted to shaft 7. The boxes are successively pushed from the conveyer belt 24 onto these plates 26, which thereupon raise such box between the segment rollers 6. During this operation the segmentsn'oll over the surfaces of the box, and paste the sheet in known manner to the latter (Fig. 7). Over these segment rollers rubber pads 30 are secured to levers 31, which are fitted to shafts 32, to which are fitted levers 33 which are rotated by means of cams 34 fitted to the shafts of the rollers 6, so-that the rubber pads are pressed against the boxes and thereby press down the sheet which has been pasted onto the same. Between the said rubber pads and the sheets pasted on project thin rods 35 fitted to a rail 36, in order to lift these sheets from the segments and to prevent their curling in consequence of the glue applied to them. When the pads press against the sheet, these thin rods or wires 35 enter intorecesses 37 in the said rubber pads.

At the same level with the raised plates 26 two parallel rails 38 are provided beside rests in guides 40, which are fitted to rods 41 vertically displaceable in the bedplate of the machine. These rods 41 adapted to be simultaneously raised and lowered by means of bell cranks 42 and rods 43 operated by a. cum fitted to shaft 7. '1 11(3 slide 39 is coupled by a rod 44 to the lever 45, which is rocked to and fro by means of a rod 46 attached to it and a cam fitted to shaft 7, so that the slide is reciprocated. The movement of the slide and that of the rods 41 are so timed that the slide, when in raised position, will be moved away from the plates 26, then lowered and will, in such lowered posi tion, return and thereupon rise again. To the slide are fitted cars 47, which, when the such means the articles are transferred slide is raised, project upward between the [slides 50. These slides have pins 51 over ,which engage the bifurcated ends of levers 53, to the shafts 54. of'whiehlevers 55 are fitted, which are rocked by means of rods 56 from cam disks 57, so that the slides 50 are reciprocated. The slides have cross beams 58. to which arms 59 are fitted, which have .-bifurcated-heads 60 at their ends, in which arms 61 are pivotally journaled. The inwardly projecting ends of these arms 61 .are provided with recesses 62, into which disks 63'project, which are fitted to the ends of rods 64. These rods 64 project displaccably through the ends of the cross beams 58 and through slotted arms 65, fitted to the brackets 48. By means of springs 66 around pins 67 and adjustably held by nuts 68 the ends of the said slotted arms are pressed against the rod 64. The two attachments which are opposite to each other and are fitted t0 the ends of the cross beams turned toward the labeling devices are similar to each other but different from the other two attachments. To each arm 61 of the two first attachments is fitted a rail 69 to which brushes 71 are secured by means of straps 70. The other two attachments, on he contrary, have the rails ()9 with straps 70 and-brushes 71 fitted only to the arms 61 at the side. A'xwe and below these brushes ades 73 pivoting on shaft 72 are provided, which are drawn toward each other bymeans of springs 74 and which rock simultane usly with the brushes toward the inside or outside respe, ively. At top and bottom bifurcatedhe de 75 me fitted to the arms 59 in which arms 112 are journalcd, which with their slot ed inner ends engage over the (33, and ave at their outr ends rails 77, to which blades 78 are fitted.

When the articles are pushed onto the rails 38 the edges of the paper sheets projecting at top and bottom abut against curved rails 79, which fold over these edges onto the article and press them thereagainst. At the next advance by means of cars 47 the respective article arrives in front of the brushes 71 and the preceding article in front of the brushes 71. and the blades 73, 78. Now the two slides 50 advance simultaneously. The clamps (35, (36, 67 hold the r0ds64, so that the disks 63 move toward springs 100.

the cross beam and thereby rock the brushes and blades 73, 78 toward the inside and against each other, so that they pass over the edges of the box and fix down the sheet pasted thereon, besides folding over any still projecting parts against the box and fixing such parts thereto. (Fig. 9). The blades 73, 78 therewith bear against the still, projecting cars 80 from above and below, so that these ears are sharply folded over. Then the slides 50 reccde, the clamps (55-68 again holding the rods (34, and in consequence thereof rocking the brushes and blades 73, 78 toward the outside, so that the parts of the sheets which have been folded over are not torn off again. I

For the blades to glide exactly over the ears 80, it is necessary that the box lies quite straight. This is insured by means of two hooks 81, which are fitted to a common shaft 82, and are raised and lowered by an arm 83, which bears on a pin 84 in a vertically displaceable rod 85, which itself is raised and lowered by means of a lever 86 and a cam disk 87.

()n the bedplatc l are fitted vertical columns 88, on which slides iii) are disposed, which carry rails 90, on which bifurcated heads 91 are carried and in these arms 92 are arranged. The arms arccoupled to rails 93 to which by means of straps Ell brushes 95' are secured, and the other cndsof said arms are provided with notches 96, into which engage disks 97, which are fitted to rods 98. These rods project through slotted arms 5)!) fitted to the columns 88, the ends of which arms are pressed against each other and against the rods )8 by means of ()n the ends of rods 98 which are beside the disks 97 are secured rubber pads 101. About the middle of euch column 88 is pivoted a double-armed lever 102, the ends of which are coupled by rods 1023 to the slides on said columns. To the lever 102 are furthermore linked rods 104, to whichbell cranks 105 are coupled, which by meansof rods lflfi are operated from cam disks on shaft When the rods-104- are raised, the slides 8!) simultaneously move toward each other. The rods 98 are, howver, held back by their friction, so that the brushcsflb rock against each other and therefore pass along overthe edges of the box and fold over the cars 80, fixing them down (Fig. 11). When the slides thereupon recede the clamps 9!), 100 will again hold the rods 98, so that the brushes are rocked toward outside and are lifted from the box. The furtluu" advance of the articles by means of slide 39 then transfers the articles to a conveyor path or some other device. i

It is obvious that many modifications regarding the construction of the hereinbefore described machine may be made without, however, departing from the essence and spn'lt of iny invent-ion.
