LABEL-MAKING MACHINE.

Specification of Iietters Patent.

Patented Nov. 20. 1917.

Application filed April 20, 1917. Serial No. 168,471.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Max MEYER, a citizen of the United Rapids, count of Kent, State of Michi an, have invented certain new and useful mprovements in Label-Making Machines, of which the followin is aspecification.

This invention re ates to improvements in label making machines.

My improvements are especially designed by me for use in connection with the label cutting and folding mechanism disclosed in the patent to Michael Petrocchi, No. 1,211,489, dated January 9, 1917.

The main objectsof this invention are:

- First, to provide means for delivering and packing the labels.

Second, to provide means whereby labels are maintained in a packing trough or receptacle in upright parallel relation.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

objects of my invention I accomplish the by the devices and means described in the following specification. .The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure I is a detail vertical section of a label forming machine of the type disclosed in the said patent embodying my improvements.

Fig. II is a detail section of the parts shown in Fig. I with the parts in another position.

Fig. III is an enlarged detail section the label packer or deliver memor delivery positlon, the label retaining member or finger being in its retracted osltion.

Fig. is a similar detail section with the label packer shown in its initial position by dotted lines and the label retaining member in its actuated position. 1

Fig. V is an enlarged detail section on a line corresponding to line 5-5 of Fig. I, showing details of the label holder.

Fig. VI is an enlarged detail section on a line corresponding to line 66 of Fig. IV.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views,

States, residing at Grand of the cam mom and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of. the section lines.

Referring to the drawing frame on which the movable parts are supported. The driving shaft 2 is journaled 1n the frame and provided with a cam member 3 A jaw carriage or support 4 is mounted in the wa 5 for vertical reciprocatory movement. 11 label jaw 6 is mounted on this carriage 4 to coact with a second jaw e ector 8 is mounted upon the jaw 6 to reclprocate thereon. The ejector is shown 1n-1ts e ecting position in Fig. I and in its retracted posltion in Fig. II.

The carriage 4 is reciprocated by an arm or lever 9 pivoted at 10 and provided with a roller 11 engaging a recess 12 in the carnage. The lever 9 1s providedwith a roller 13 engaging the cam groove 14 in the face ber 3. The label ejector 6 1s provlded with spaced lugs 15 between WhlCll is disposed a roller 16 carried by the lever 17, which is pivoted on the carriage 4 at 18, as shown by dotted lines in Figs. I and II. This lever 17 is retracted by means of thecarriage 1 which, on its upward movement, causes roller 20 on the lower end of the lever 17 to engage the cam 19. The ejector is actuated oted at 22 so that it is engaged b the roller 23 carried by an arm 24 on t e shaft 2. A spring 25 actuates this lever in the opposite direction. These parts are arranged to perform the function of the corresponding parts in said patent.

I mount a pair of coacting creasing and

delivery rollers

26 and 27 1n position to receive the labels ejected from the jaws.

1 designates the i by means of the lever 21 piv-v Curved guides 28 are provided to deflect the as they are discharged labels downwardly (the packing trough or from the rollers to receptacle.

I mount a packer arm 29 on the rear end of the carriage actuating lever 9 so that the actuations of these parts are timed. The packer arm 29 is provided with ahead 30 adapted when in its initial position to lie tangential to the lower roller 27 and to re-- ositioned at the rear of and somewhat beow the lower roller. 'llhe pacg trough is formed to provide a slot 83 at its front end in which the packer reciprocates. The trough preferably has a rear extension or part 34': adapted to receive a carton for the labels, that is, the carton may be telescoped I therewith.

, cam member 3.

To retain the labels delivered by the acker arm I provide a reciprocating retainmg member or finger 37 which is supported in a slideway 38 to reciprocate into the trough. The packer head has a groove 39 in its face adapted to receive this retaining I ing finger is released before the packer is till retracted and, owing to the fact that it slides in the groove 39 ot the packer head, it returns to actuated position without disurbing the labels delivered.

The labels are supported in the trough or packing receptacle y means of a block 46, which 1s slidably disposed therein, the block being of such weight that it supports the labels under proper packing tenslon and at the same time is moved along in the packing holger as the labels are successively delivere The part 34 of the packing trou h is designed, as stated, to receive a tubu ar package or carton for the labels, which is sllpped over the packing holder 31 and over the labels packed therein, side by side, so that when it is withdrawn the labels may be pushed into it and the carton sealed I have illustrated and described my improvements in an embodiment which I have found practical in use. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe certain modifications and variations in structural details which ll contemplate, as l believe the disclosure made will enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embody or adapt the same as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: A
