7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS J. MiLLEn, acitizen of the United States of America, and resident of St. Joseph, Berrien county, Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in \Vire-Bound-Box- Blank Machines, of which the following is a specificatiom,

My invention relates. to mach1nery, for makmg wireybound box-blanks of that kind in which the sheet material for'the' box sides and binding wires are stapled 'to -reinforcingcleats that extend along the side. edges of the blank.

Generally stated, the object of my invention is to provide a novel and efiicient machine-for making box-blanks of this general character.

,Special objects are to provide a machine that will partially or preliminarily fasten the sheet material to'the cleats, wherebypo spacing devices are necessary for separating the ends of the-cleats; to provide a machine having automatic means for interrupting Specification of Letters Patent.

stops for automatically spacing between blanks.

As thus illustrated, my invention comprises a' base A upon which the two upright ,body frames B and C are supported in. proper relation to each other. These 'framesave transverse cross bars or table members Patentea Dec. 3, 1919.

The bindin blanks is conjointly controlled by the cleats and the reciprocation of the staplers; andtq provide certain details and combinations tending to increase, the general eiiiciencyof a machine of this particular character. v

To the foregoing andj'other useful ends, my invention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Each stapler has a staple wire feed device i operated bya pawl 2 carried on the cross head 0, where- ,carried up and down by the cross 'ead b 8O at.the.top, ofthe frame, each stapler having suitable meansfor guiding the bindin below the staple driver thereof, whereby the staples areins'erted crosswise of the-binding material-and into the'cleats 2 of eachbla'nk. .The belt or belts H are arranged to support the cleats 2 .in the'guides D, being mounted .torun on -pulleys; h .ontheframes B and 0,

and are operated at relatii 'ely high speed by by the wire is fed from the reels 2" at the top of the frame C, each wire being converted into staples in the well known manner. The

cross heads 6 and c are-actuated by the usual pltmen and eccentrics 'b and c, which are operated by the drive shafts b and c, i

said shafts being usual in machines for this thereby 3c ing formed.

far

an element which engages the passing or required to throw out the binding wire and together, means K, but the unwired cleats and sheet material in front of the staplers remain stationary against the stops L and M. during this time no staples are belng driven; a but upon the fourth stroke of the cross head. the driving of staples is resumed, and then. the operation of wiring the next blank proceeds as before. In this way the staple wire feed is automatically tripped out by the 19 passing of four cleats in front of the stop L; a space is formed between the blank, and then the idle reciprocation of the staplers while no-staples are being driven is utilized to restore the wire feed to operative condi- 15 tion. In other words, the cleats and staplers conjoint-ly control the mechanism by which the spaces are produced between blanks.

Thus one person can tend the machine, if

desired, as the manual manipulation of the 20 parts in front of the staplers L is all that is required. After this the operation is en tirely automatic in character.

The elen'ient L operates as a stop to interrupt the feeding motion of the work and provide spaces at predetermined in: tervals therein. This, of course, is done without stopping the machine, except the driving of the staples is prevented during each interruption and while the space is be- As shown, the rolls a and pawls c are devices for performing an operation on wire, and in this case each device takes the form of a feeding device; but for the broader purposes of my invention, and so as the automatic control of a device by moving materials is concerned, this feature of my invention may be used for any suitable purpose, and I do not limit myself to 40 the particular constructions and uses shown and described. The element L is operated many times for each blank as there are sides for the box when completed, and in this case there are four of these operations pawls o of the wire feeding devices. It is obvious, however, that this number can be changed or varied to suit the conditions, without departing from the spirit of my invention. lVhat'I claim as my invention is:
