ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT FOR GLU Iii-TANKS.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Mosns B. DrsKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable l Supports for Glue-Tanks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to paper box machines and has for its object to provide a new and useful support for a glue tank for such machines and for other machines requiring glue tanks.

With this object in View the invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement and combination of the parts of a device of the character specified, which will be hereinafter fully described and afterward specifically claimed.

In order that the construction and operation thereof may be readily comprehended, I have illustrated an approved embodiment of my invention in the accompanying drawings, and will now proceed to fully describe the same in connection with said drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a paper box machine in side elevation with my invention applied thereto,

Fig. 2, a transverse vertical sectional view of the glue tank, and attachments, detached from the machine, on an enlarged scale,

Fig. 3, view of the same, in side elevation, and

Fig. 4, a view in elevation of a slightly modified form of support.

Like reference characters mark the same parts wherever they appear in any of the figures of the drawing.

Referring specifically to the drawing 5 indicates the frame or stand of any ordinary paper box machine, covering machine, or gumming machine, the machine proper being shown at 6 at the right of Fig. 1 and as my invention relates entirely to the support for the glue tank, no description of the box machine is necessary.

Mounted at the ends of the frame 5 of the machine are standards 7 which carry bars 8I extending beyond one end of the frame which support depending brackets 9 which carry a roll 10 of paper or other material used in box making, which material, in ribbon form,

serial No. 231,532.

vpasses over and in contact with a roller 11 journaled in a glue trough 12, whereby it is coated with glue, said ribbon then being suitably guided and supported under and over rollers to the box machine.

At y13, 14, are indicated brackets mounted slidably on the extended ends of the bars 8, said brackets being provided at their lower ends with rings 15, 16 which pass on to the vbars 8 and are held thereon by set screws 17,

18, and also provided with shelves 19, 2() on which is supported a glue tank 21 provided with a spigot or valve 22, adjustable as to quantity of discharge by a screw-stem 23, said spigot being located, when in use, over the trough 12 so as to continuously supply a regulated amount of glue thereto.

In between the brackets 13 and 14 are turnbuckles 24, which are provided with the usual right and left threaded bars 25, 26, passing through the brackets, and held in adjusted positions, clamping the brackets against the tank by means of nuts 27, 28.

By adjusting the brackets farther apart or nearer together, larger or smaller tanks may be held in position.

As ordinarily done, the glue has been fed to the trough by hand which resulted very often in faulty coating the ribbon with glue owing to irregular feeding of the glue, but with the construction and arrangement hereinbefore described, this trouble is obviated and a regular and correct supply will always be supplied to the trough and such supply can be readily increased, decreased, or entirely cut off as may be desired or necessary.

In Fig. 4 I have illustrated a modification by means of which the tank may be suitably supported where there are no bars 8 on the machine. In this construction, I use two brackets 29, constructed to be secured to the floor, or the machine base, by screws or bolts to be passed through openings 30. At the upper ends of the brackets are parallel vertical arms or standards 31, having openings in which are placed pins or bars 32, which may be passed through the rings 15 and 16 and secured by set screws 33, the brackets being thereby firmly held in position to properly support the tank, being held on the pins 32 instead of on the bars 8.

When this modification is used, the other parts heretofore described, and the operation thereof will be unchanged.

The utility and simplicity of my invention Will be evident from the fgregoing and,

I desire to be understood that changes and variations may be made from the speciiic construction described, Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. A support Comprising parallel brackets having slidably supported eyes at their lower ends for longitudinal adjustment and inwardly projecting shelves at their upper ends to support a tank, and an adjustable connection disposed between the eyes and shelves of the brackets for drawing them toward each other to clamp the tank in p0- sition.

2. Asupport comprising parallel L-shaped brackets having a depending portion at one end provided With an eye to slidably support the same, means for clamping said eye in position, screw members secured to the upper portions of said brackets and held against rotation thereon, and a turn buckle connection engaging the adjacent ends of said screw members.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
