llED STATES SHELTON J. GUNN, F GUNNTOWN, FLORIDA.
FEEDING HOPPER FOR BOX MACHINES.
Application iled March 29, 1922. Serial N'o. 547,939.
To all whom t may cof/wcm:
Be it known that I, SHELTON J. GUNN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gunntown, in the county of Levy and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feeding Hoppers for Box Machines, of which the'following is a specification.
This invention relates to feeding hoppers for box machines.
The object of the invention is to provide a hopper adapted to feed a plurality of strips or boards consecutively to a reciprocating carriage which in turn feeds the boards through the machine for different operations.
Figure 1 is a partial sidefelevation of the machine with the hopper attached.
Fig. 2 is an end View of the machine and hopper.
The numeral 1 indicates the main frame of the machine supported upon suitable legs 2. The numeral 3 indicates the parallel side bars constituting a reciprocating carriage which is supported upon suitable guide ways l-t supported upon a transverse member 5 arranged beneath the main frame.
Arranged above the main frame is a hopper preferably consisting of a substantially 30 rectangular frame 6 supported by rackets 7 above the main frame. Extending vertically from the rctano'ular frame are a plurality of guide members S forming the sides and ends of the hopper preferably being flared outwardly at their upper ends to facilitate loading the hopper. Pivoted as at 9 to the rectangular frame 6 is a pair of presser arms 10-10 having their inner ends l1 bent inwardly over the@ strips of the material. A arranged in the hopper. The outer ends 12 of the arms 10H10 are connected by links i3- 13 to afoot actuating lever 14- pivotcd as at 15 to a stationary member 16. A spring 17 serves to hold the foot actuating member normally in the upper position exerting a downward pressure upon the arms 10-10 pressing the material downwardly upon the main frame. Dogs 1S carried by the reciprocating carriage serve to withdraw a strip from beneath the pile at predetermined intervals, the arms 10-10 forcing the material downwardly as they strips are withdrawn fromthe under side of the stack.
Vhen refilling the hopper the foot lever 14: is pressed downwardly causing the arms 10-10 to swing outwardly past the edge of the hopper after which the hopper may be readily filled.
It will thus be seen that I have constructed a feeding hopper which is simple in construction and effective in operation, consist-v y hopper, a foot lever, links connectinor said foot lever and presser arms for extending a downwardly pressure upon said pivoted presser arms.
2. A feed hopper comprising a main frame, a substantially rectangular frame mounted upon said main frame, a horizontally movable carriage mounted within said main frame, presser arms pivotally connected to said frame having their outer free ends bent inwardly into the feed hopper, and means exerting a downwardly pressure upon said arms whereby the contents of said hopper are held in contact with said horizontally movable carriag 3. A feed hopper comprising a substantially rectangular frame, guides extending vertically from the frame, supporting members arranged beneath the frame adapted to support the frame and forming a bottom therefor, arms pivotally connected to the frame having inwardly projecting portions extending' into said hopper and means exerting a downwardly pressure upon said arms.
4. A feed hopper comprising a substantially rectangular frame, supporting members arranged beneath the frame, presser arms pivotally connected to said frame having their inner ends projecting inwardly into the feed hopper, a foot actuated lever connected by suitable links to said arms, a spring connected to said foot lever for exerting a downwardly pressure upon said pivoted arms.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
SHELTON J. GUNN.
