To all whom it may concern Be it knownthat we, LEO l/Vinss, ,a. citizen of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, and AnoLPrI l/Vnrss, a citizen of the United States, and both residents of the borough of Brook- .lyn, city of New York, in the county of .Kings and State of New York, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improve- ..rnents in a Method of Making Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to .a method of making boxes. Itsobjectincludes the steps, by means of which a box, preferably of cardboard ismade of a blank folded to formthe bottom and neck of the box, and a frame preferably of cardboard, with suitable strips preferably of paperfastened to the neck and bottom of the box. The steps include the folding of one edge of one of said strips over an edge of the frame and the foldingofthe other edge on to the bottom ofthe box. The steps also include the fastening of the second strip with its main portion to the outer face of the neck of the box and with one of its-edges turned over the edge of the neck and fastened to the inner faces of the latter.

The method includes the winding of the frame with its strip around the neck and the winding of another strip around the neck, while one end of the latter strip is free, to avoid any creasewhile the latter strip is fastened in place. The method includes steps to fasten together the frame and its strip with an adhesive, steps to fasten a strip to the neck with an adhesive and steps to fasten the 'frame to the neck with an adhesive. 7

An arm 256 has'one end fastened-to the shaft 255 and its other endisPinned-to .a reciprocating lever 258. .A sleeve I260f=is supported on the shaft 255 an'd'has extending therefrom the :arm.:261 which is pinned-to a reciprocating .llever 262. An :3111'1263 with a cam groove extends I from the sleeve 2'60.

A pin 265 (see Figs. 6 and 8) is supported in brackets extending from the slide plate .241. The said pin extends through the cam groove of the arm 263. An arm 266 is fastened to the shaft 255 and extends under the cross piece 239. Rotating rollers 268 are journaled above-the plate 250. A guide bracket 270 with the roller 270 extends from the platform 20 and a guide roller 271 is ournaled in the guides 200.

A glue pot 275 with the glue distributing disc 276, the guide Wheel 277 and the reel 278 are located adjacent 'to the platform and to the left thereof. In the drawing theglue pot 275 is shown below the platform 20 to be enabled to show it on the same sheet .of drawing. A second glue pot 285 withthe glue distributing disc 286, the guide wheel 287 and the reel 288 are located under the platform 20.

To carry out the steps of the method'to make the box a strip of material A, of pa per in this instance, is unwound from the reel 288 and, coat-ed on its face a, by means of the disc 286 of the gluepot and located upon the guide plate 244 with its end about under the right hand end of the stationary member 210 of the cutter.

Next a piece of card board B preferably scored at Z) is located upon the horizontal plate 250, and brought under the rotating rollers 268, which moves its edge against the stop plate 232 and its extensions 233, the presser foot 235 being at this time in its raised position. This locates a requisite amount of the cardboard B upon the stationary member 210 of the cutter. The presser foot 235 is now brought down upon the card board B- with the downward swing of the arm 266, caused by the oscillation. of the shaft 255. This causes the gripping pins 235 to grip the card board and. the latter is securelypositioned uponthe men] her 210. The knife blade 211 now descends and cuts a strip from the card board "B to produce a frame C. The presser foot 235 together with the stop plate 232 now moves forwardly by reason of the forward move ment of the slide plate 241. The plate 241 slides forward by reason of the coaction of the arm 263 and the pin 265. With the forward movement of the presser foot 235, the gripping fingers 235 force the frame C to move with the said presser foot. The latter now descends and locates the frame C upon the side a of the strip A. The presser'foot 235 remainsin its lowered position until :the three gripping fingers 1151 on the left hand end of the oscillating shaft 149 bear down on frame'C, after which the presser foot 235 rises and together with't-he stop plate 232 both return to their original positions.

The slide bracket 137 now moves in the direction of the arrow X and carries v the forward end of the frame C in line with the cutting edges of the lower shears 197. While the bracket 137 moves the strip A it is folded over an edge of frame C by means of the folder 199. as indicated at a 13 and 141).

At this time a strip E of paper has been unwound. from the reel 278, coated on the side 6 with an adhesive from the glue pot 275 and located upon the guide plate 205 with its end in line with the cutting edges of the upper shears 192 and advanced horizontally a short distance beyond the cutting edges of the lower shears 197. The clamping fingers 182 and 184: now descend and locate the end of the strip E upon the frame C and the already folded over portion a of the strip A. The gripping finger 151 now bears down on the frame C and the strips A and E. The three gripping fingers 151 on the left hand end of the shaft 149 grip a second frame C with its strip A while the remaining gripping fingers 151 grip the frame C with its strip A. The clamping fingers 132 and 1341 now rise in an open position and permit the strip E to move between them. The slide bracket 137 now moves forward to the position shown in Fig. 9 and carries forward the frames C and C with their strips A in conjunction with the strip E. The first frame C with its strip A and the forward end of the strip E are located below the folding block 35. The lever 164 now rises which permits the guide bracket 139 to swing up under the tension of the spring 1 18, which causes the swing ing end of the plate 139 of the bracket 139 to force the frame C with the strips A and E against the neck of the box to be described located on the forming block 35. At the same time the gripping finger 72 which can swing through a notch in the plate 139 bears up against the frame C and the strips A and E to hold them in place. Just before the. forming block 35 turns, the clamping

fingers

182 and 184 clamp the strip E. Both shears 192 and 197 now operate and the upper shears 192 sever the strip E while the lower shears sever the strip A between the adjacent ends of the two frames C and C The shears 192 are somwhat advanced horizontally beyond the shears 197 to allow a small length of the strip to form an overlap a when finally located in place on the neck of the box that is being formed.

Blanks H for the combined neck and bottom are located on the guides 84: and by means of the sliding carriage having the walls 86 and 87 are pressed against the cross head 98. The latter forces the blanks H one at a time into the guides 71 of the rotating frame 69, when the forming block is in its first position indicated at 1, Fig. 2. The forming block 35 now moves horizontally forward and forces the blank H through the opening of the die 70, and by means of which the sides of the blank are turned at right angles to its body to form the neck H of the box. lVhile in this position suction is produced in the forming block 35 by means of an air pump coac-ting with the cock A9 and thereby the blank ll temporarily adheres to the end and sides of said block 35. The forming block with its blank is next moved to the second position indicated at 2, F 2.

The frame C and the strips A and E are now brought into contact with the neck H of the box and the forming block 35 begins to turn and simultaneously the folders 60 to 6A one after the other fold the extending portion of the strip A on the bottom H of the partially formed box. Each of the folders 60 to (Set performs its function when opposite one of the lower sides of the forming block The forming block 35 with its partially finished box is now moved to its third position indicated at 3 (Fig. 2) and is located in the die 117 of the slide 116. The plug of the cock 19 now turns to release the suction. The forming block 35 next returns to the first position, and at the same time the knockout plate 41 retains the box in the die 117 until the forming block 35 is out of contact with the box and moves back into the forming block 35. The slide 116 now moves to the right to locate the partially formed box axially in line with the cup shaped head 121. The head 121 with its folding wings 124: advance toward the box. The wings 12st close in and bend the extending portion 6 of the strip E around the edges of the neck H of the box. The head 121 advances the wings 124- and forces the extending portions of the strip E against the inner faces of the neck H. The plate 1.12 now advances and bears against the bottom of the box. At the same time the head 121 with the box thereon moves out of the die 117. When the box is clear of said die the presser plate 112 returns to its original position. As the head 121 recedes the strippers 128 detach the box from the head 121 and it is ready for use.

It will be noted that the roller 153 only. coats the frame 0 with an adhesive while it is moving. It will also be noted that when the frame C with the strip A is under the guide plate 142 the latter at its swinging end bears on the frame C with its strip A without coming in contact with the adhesive on the frame. The guides 1 13 at the same-time gauge the strip E to locate the parts in proper position just before contacting with the neck H on the folding block 35 of the partially formed box. The arm 17 2 bears down on the strip E at the proper time with the coaction of the cam 17 5 and the roller 173. It will be also noted that as the frame C is wound around the neck that the strip E will follow the neck as it is wound, avoiding creases as it is located in position.

The ends of the frame C when in position around the neck H form a butt joint and theo-verlap a joins the said ends.
