JOHN A. ADELL, OF ORANGE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR 'IO ADELL MANUFACTUR- ING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS.
- TAPE MOISTENER.
Application filed September 21, 1922.
1 T all whom it may concern:
r downward projections 13 Be it known that I, JOHN A. ADELE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Orange, in the county of Franklin, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Tape Moistener, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device for use in moistening gummed paper or the like in the form of tape for use in sealing packages and the like. V
The principal objects of the invent-ion are to provide a base or frame for a moistener in such form that it can be made of pressed metal, steel, brass or the like; to provide means whereby an extra large water pan can be provided for in such base; to provide an improved means for supporting the tank adapted to be formed of the sheet met 1 parts; to provide a simple and convenient roller support formed integrally with the sheet metal base; to provide an improved means for holding and insuring the permanent alignment of the standards; and in general to provide a construction which will be light and inexpensive and can be manufactured in large quantities and assembled very inexpensively.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a planet a tape moistener constructed in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. l; and
Fig. 3 is perspective view showing parts broken away. i I have shown the whole base or frame'of the device as consisting of a single sheet metal stamping. This is formed up in dies to provide side and end walls lOsloping slightly. The base has a horizontal flange 11 around the bottom and an inwardly extending horizontal flange 12 around the top. The flange 11 may be provided with constituting feet and integral with the flange.
At one end I have provided an opening between the edges of'the flanges 12 below which is located a water tank 14. This tank also is of stamped metal and is held in posi- Serial No. 589,680.
tion by bent over lugs 15 extending in a horizontal direction from a part of the top of the frame and projecting inwardly so as to extend through perforations in the end of the tank 14-. This positively holds the tank up at this end and at the other end its vertical wall at the top is forced in between the end wall 10 and a flange 16 bent down from the top flange 12 and located in substantially vertical position. slopes and as the tank is hung in a positive manner at the other end this end of the tank can be forced into the recess thus produced. It will not be capable of swinging down about the support at 1 of considerable pressure. So it is kept raised 01f the table on which the device is supported. The tank can be held in this way largely because it does not support the finger roll 19.
In the opening above the tank 14c at the two sides I have provided two flanges l7 opposite each other and projecting down vertically into the opening below. Each of these flanges is provided with a vertical slot 18 having a rounded bearing at the bottom. These flanges constitute bearing supports for the finger roll 19 which has studs 20 at its ends extending into the slots 18 and supported by the rounded surfaces at the bottoms thereof.
The tank 14 extends. out beyond this roll under a series of longitudinal strips 21 formed from the sheet metal of which the base is formed. Above these strips and spaced at a convenient distance from them are cross bars 22 screwed on the top flange of the base to provide a space for the tape to pass under them and over the longitudinal strips. This is all the guide that is necessary. The bars 22 are secured in place by screws, bolts, or the like.
For supplying the tape to the finger roll I have provided the base with a depressed recess extending across it beyond the longitudinal strips 21. This recess is rectangular in shape and carries within it a bottom plate 26 which has two ears 27 projecting upwardly from it in parallel relation and perforated to support the spindle 28 of 5 without application '7 As the wall 10 4:
.top, said ment of the standard and insures its remain ing in position.
This device is used in the same way as other tape moisteners on the market, the invention residing in the construction but it will be obvious that it is inexpensive to build and assemble; that the finger roll can be removed very readily for cleaning and the like and independently of the tank; that thetank can be drawn out at the bottom by pulling down the left hand end as shown in Fig. 2 and then detaching the right hand end for refilling and cleansing purposes; and'thatthe tape roll is effectively secured in position and prevented from turning or getting out of alignment.
Although I have illustrated and described onlv asingle form of the invention I am aware of the fact that modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. herefore I do not wish to be limited to all he details of construction herein shown and described, but what I do claim is 1. In a tape moistener, the combination of a pressed metal base having an opening in its top with a tank positively supported at one end and at the top from-the base so'as to depend therefrom and having means at the top of the opposite end for frictionally holding that end of the tank, thus prevent; about the op-= iug its swinging downwardly posite end accidentally.
2. "In a tape moistener, the combination with a pressed metal base constituting the frame thereof and the support therefor, of a pressed metal water tank detachably conuected at its top with the upper portion of saidbase and depending therefrom, integral means'on the base for supporting a finger roll in the tank in position to be removed therefrom upwardly, longitudinal guide strips an the tape integral with the base extending over said tank, and means on the base for receiving a tape roll support and preventing its getting out of alignment.
3. In a tape moistener, the combination ot'a sheet metal base constituting the frame of thedevice having sloping sides and ends and provided with an internal flange at the flange having an opening therethrough, means below said flange for positivelysupporting one end of a water tank underit, means at the other end for frictionally hold'ng the other end of the'tank and preventing the accidental swinging of the tank on its pivot downwardly, and
3 means on the base for supporting a finger one end wall for receiving said lug and positively supporting the tank at that end and having a vertical edge at the opposite end for projecting intotlre space between the end ofthe base and said bent overv edge to friotionally hold that end of the tank and prevent its swinging-onthe said lug as a pivot accidentally.
5. In a tape moistener, the combination'of a base having an opening in its. top, with a tank positively supported at one end; from the base and having means atvth'e opposite end for frictionally holding that end ofthe tank and prevent its swinging about the opposite end accidentally, said base having longitudinal strips over one end of the tank for guidmgthe tape and being provided 7 with two opposite ears projecting down into the tank at opposite sides thereof. beyond said strips and in a cent to but spaced slightly from the side walls of the base, said ears havingvertical slots therein extending downwardly from the top and open at the topand provided with concave porting the'studs of a finger'roll and per- .mitting the roll to be removed from the tank by an upward motion.
6. In a tape moistener, the combination of a base witha tank supported fromthe base, said base being provided with two opposite ears projecting down into the tank at vertical position adj-a surfaces at the bottom for'supopposite sides thereof in a vertical position adjacent to the side walls of the base, and spaced therefrom, said ears having vertical slots therein f extending downwardly from the top and; open at the topfand provided with concave surfaces at the bottom for supporting thestuds of a finger roll and permitting the roll to be removed from the tank by an upward motion, the tankjbeing removable bya downward motion without.
removing the roll.
(1. In a tape moistening device, the com bination with a sheet metal base'constitufl ing a frame or support'for the device, of means for detachably supporting a. tank within said base, means for supporting a V finger roll in the tank in position to profor supporting a roll of tape for supplying the device, said base having a depressed recess for receiving said bottom flat bottom and two upwardly ex ject slightlyhb ove it, and a standardcon- 2 and to which it is secured, whereby the standard is prevented by the walls of said recess from getting out of alignment.
8. In a tape moistening device, the com bination with a base, of means for detachably supportinga tank within said base, and a standard having a flat bottom and two upwardly extending ears for supporting a roll of tape said base having a depressed recess for receiving said bottom and to which it is secured, whereby the standard is prevented by the walls of said recess from getting out of alignment.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
JOHN A. ADELL.
