Our invention relates to improvements in machines for making book matches or matches such as are usually made ofpa'pe'r and wire stitched in a paper cover.v More particularly, the invention has reference to means in such a machine for feeding, cutting, and placing in position rows of matchsplints preferably in several layers to be secured in a match cover. I
In the accompanying drawing, we have-illustrated a section of such a machine embodying an application of our invention.
Referring thereto, 5 indicates a. suitable source of power suchas anelectric motor havingapinion 6 meshing with the pinion 7 upon the shaft 8 mounted inthebearing 9, said shaft also having apinion 1O meshing with the pinion ll loosel'y mounted upon the main shaft 12 and being provided with a drum 13.
14 indicates a suitable, clutch mechanism pivotally connected bythe bar 15 to the rocker 16 pivoted upon the support 17 and pivotally connected'to the bar 18 which in turn is pivotally connected to the bar. 19 pivotally supported at 20, a handle21 being provided,
so that when the handle 21 is operated, the
cone 22 of the clutch is shifted'between'the fingers 23 Which'in turn drive the -disc 24 against the disc 25, overcoming the spring 26, thereby causingthe drum 13'to frictionally engage the disc 27 pivoted to the shaft 12 at 28 as shown. 1 I
29 indicates an endless belt or other suitable conveyor mechanisin having spacing blocks 30 which move leftwardly beneath the tray 31 passing through'the tunnel or passage 32. 'Uponthe tray or chute 31slitted cards or match combs 32 are placed preferably double, that is to say, two, one upon the other, preferably by hand, the matches in the combs being preferably separated by the re moval of every tenth or eleventh match, as indicated at 33.
Upon said drive shaft 12 is provided a cam 34 upon which rides the roller 35 in the end of the rocking lever 36 pivoted at 37 and at the opposite end pivoted to the link 38 which in turn isp-ivoted to the reciprocating carriage 39 upon the bearing 40 and which carries a bracket 41 which is provided with pins 42 and 43 upon each of whichis pivot- "allyr'nounted fingers and respectively,
gravity serving to keep said fingers uponthe cards 32 'upon the tray 31, so that the said carriage '39 reciprocates laterally such distance as to have the-fingers drop intothe spaces'33, thereby feeding'successively and intermittently a card or cards of, ten or eleven matches, each. 7 46inclicates a light spring which bears uponthe tops" of the matches to keep them fiat in position-upon the tray 31. i
As the covers 47 for the matches arefiea left'vvardly beneath the tray '31, asinore particularly set forth in a copending 'application Serial No. 660,781, filed September 4',- 1 923,
or application Serial No. 27,110,1iled'APfil 30, l925,'the knife 48 cuts theinatches from the card at the point of separation such as at 33. This knife 48 is secured to th'e vertically re'c'iprocatingblock 49 in the frame 50 and is pivotally connected tothe lever 51, the outer end of which is pivotally connected to the link 52, thelOWer end of fwhic'h is provided with a roller 53 which rides in the cam 54 upon the shaft 12. 54f is another rod provided with a roller 5,5,adap-ted to ride upon the cam 56, against the. action of the spring '57, andc'auses thepresser footj58to vertically reciprocate in the guide-59. 'It will be noted from the-drawing thatthe cam 54 is advanced with respect to the'cam 56 on the shaft 12 and ittherefore follows that the knife 48 operatesslightlyin advance of'the.
pressure foot 58. Accordingly, when the knife 48 severs a portion of the match strip, the downward movement of the knife to er fe'ct the severing'operation Will be followed by a si'milarmovement of the presserfoot which willoperate in a slightly retarded'r'elation to'the knife, so that as soon as a portion of the card is severed the presser foot.
will immediately engage the card and force it downwardly upon the subjacent cover portion. It therefore follows that the severed. match card is positively depressed by the presser foot and is not dependent for its pcsitioning operation upon gravity. After the card has been positioned on the cover in the manner described, the cover and its associated card are adapted to be fed left-wardly through the machine together and beneath the light spring 60 into the forming tunnel tion and arrangement of or passage 32 while the covers are folded over the matches and the same are stitched together.v r 7 Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be made in the construcarts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claime We claim 1; In a match strip feeding mechanism for match book machines, having a cutter operable to sever successive match cards from the strips, a wei htedfeeder reciprocable toward and from t e cutter and operative in its movement toward the cutter to engage a strip between the splints thereof and feed it to the cutter, and adapted when moved from the cutter to slide freely over the strip without engaging the same, said feeder having a substantially flat smooth base and depending finger, said base being adapted to rest upon the s lints and said finger adapted to engage there etween.
' '2. In a match strip feeding mechanism for match book machines having a cutter opera ble to sever successive match cards from the strips,'the combination ofa stationary feed table positioned in advance of the cutter and on which match strips are adapted to be supportedto be fed to the cutter, a carrier mounted for rectilinear reciprocating movement toward and away from the cutter and in advance thereof, and a plurality of pusher fingers pivotally mounted in tandem on the carrier and impelled at all times toward the stationary table, said pusher fingers being shaped to engage with transversely extending edges of the strips on thetable andoperable during movement towardthe cutter to engage such edges of said strips to feed the strips successivelyto the cutter and adapted, when moved from the cutter, to slide freely over the strips, and means for reciprocating the carrier. '3. In a match strip feeding mechanism for match book machines having'a cutter operable to sever successive match cards from the strips, the combination of a carrier mounted for rectilinear reciprocating movement toward and away from the cutter and in ad- Vance thereof, and a plurality of weighted pusher fingers pivotally mounted in tandem on the carrier and gravitating at all times into the path of the strips to the cutter, said pusher fingers having blunt noses adapted for engagement with transversely extending edges of the'strips, and operable during movement toward the'cutter to engage such edges of said strips to feed the strips successively to the cutter and adapted when moved from the cutter to slide freely over the strips, and means for reciprocating said carrier.
