The machine illustrated inthe drawings ie particularly adapted for nseinwrapping;` a labeljQ about a cylindrical package 4 (Fig. 1S), the ends `ot the label overlapping and being` glued or pastedftogether.` 'lhisema-` chine may be used inconnection with"` the .machine described and claimed in my pend ingr application, Serial No. 74,292, filed December, 1925, for sealing packages oiihardV camilics and Similar articles that haveat least one wrapper of 'Wax paper.` In said sealing" machine the packages when lcompleted are convcyedifrom the machine by means oi a. sprocket chainwvhich is indi-` cale l at l(i` in Fig. 1, having outwardly @spaced blades 8 upon which the packages are supported as they are carried downwardly. In thepresent machine vertically ar anged guideA `platee 10 are arranged adjacent to opposite sides o the vertical stretch lo'li the chain and serve to hold the packages on the blades S until theyreach thelloweriedge" of the forward zguide plate, where `they are successively picked oli of the blades by a conveying mechanisnr which conveys them to thewrapping mechanism oit themachine which wraps alabel about each package. During' the transfer oli each package from the conveyor chaiir to the Wrappii'ig mechanieui, it centrally engages a label which has previously been positioned acroes the path thereof and `carries theilabel therewith to the wrapping mechaniem, glue or paste being4 applied to` one edge of the label eo as to cause thefoverlapping*ende `oli the label to hesecurcd` together during` the Wrapping` operai-ion.` i i 1 This conveying mechanism comprises a p carrierblock 121` (Figs. 1, 10,` 11 and 12) which isniounted to slide longitudinally on a pair oli' te'uideroi'ls 14; having their ends scoured infln'aclets 16projectingfrom the machine iframe. i Longitudinally extendingr levers; 18 are pivotally `mounted `on vertical pivot pins 20 which extend througlr laterally projectingl ears QQionthe carrier block;v The forward ends oit thelevers areprovided with inwardly project-ing jaws 24; which, when the evers are turned in one direction, `are lo engage the ende lfiji paclmgre positioned between them. The inner ends of the jaws are substantially flat, and are provided with inward projections 26l which, when the jaws engage the article, extend over the ends of the back thereozt'. The inner end'portions of the jaws have their top and bottom surfaces inclined rearwardly and inwardly for clearing parts of the wrapping mechanism. The levers 18 are urged in adirection to close the jaws 24 by means of expansion springs 28, each of which is coiled about a transverse rod 30 that has its inner end pivotall mounted on an upstanding pin 81secure on the carrier block and its jouter end extending through an aperture in an, upwardly projecting stud 32 on the rear end portion of the associated lever, the spring being interposed between the stud and a nut 34 secured on the inner end of the rod 30. The levers are adapted to be turned to open the awsY by means ofV abutmentplates 86 that are adapted to engage rolls 38 mounted on the rear ends of the levers.
' are urged rearwardly with relation to the I. levers 18, by Vmeans of springs 50, each of y which is coiled about a sliding bolt52 having one end secured to astud 54 on the rear end of the rod, and its forward end extendking through an aperture in Vone of the pins or studs'44 so as to be guided thereby, the
spring being interposed between the stud 44 and nuts 56 secured on the bolt. The rearward movement of the inger carrying rods 42, during the rearward or retracting movement of the carrier 12, is limited by the engagement of abutment rolls 58 mounted on the. rear ends thereof with the rear bracket 16. The carrier block 12 is further provided with tworforwardly projecting rods 60 that are .securedin socket-s in the forward side oi the block,`and are adapted to be projected through apertures in ther forward bracket member 16 and in Athe rear guide plate 10 during the advancing movement of the block. Y lVith this construction, during the advancing. movement ofthe carrier block 12 the forward ends of the pins 60 engage one of the packages on the conveyor chain 6, remove it/irom its supporting blade, and push it forwardly therewith upon a horizont-al platform comprising a plate 62, and beneath a downwardly spring pressed holding member 64 that engages the upper portion ot the cylindrical surface ofthe package and holds it in position, the underside of the holding member' being curved to tit the package'.
When the package has reached this position,
The rodsmovement of the carrier block 12, the rolls 38 riding on the abutment plates. When the carrier block reaches the limit et its retracting movement, t-he jaws 24 are positioned oppositie the ends oi the package that has been delivered to the station beneath the holding member G4, and when the jaws reach this position, abutment plates 8G are retracted to permit the springs 5t) to close the jaws on the ends of the package. During the next advancing movement oi the carrier block the gripping jaws carry the package from beneath the holding member (34 and to the wrapping mechanism. During this movement of the gripping jaws to convey the package to thc wrapping mechanism, the package engages the central portion of a label 2, which has been delivered previously across the path of movement of the package, and the label is carried with the package to the wrappin(r mechanism. rl`he rearnuird movement or the finger carrying rods 42 during the rearward or retracting movement of the carrier block 12 which is limited by the engagement of their rear ends with the rear supporting bracket 1G, as above described, so positions the iingers 48 that when the levers 18 are turned to close the jaws upon the ends o'i' the package, the ends ot the lingers are positioned adjacent to the front side ot the label, so that when the package is advanced by the gripping jaws into engagement with the label, the lingers act to tightly grip the label upon the torward side of the package and then to move with the jaws so as to hold the label in position as the package is carried to the wrapping mcchanism. It will be apparent when the jaws are open to release the package a t ter it reaches the wrapping mechanism, the lingers will be carried with the jaws out of engagement with the label.
The carrier block is actuated through a link 66 which has one end pivotally connected with depending ears on the under side of the block and its other end pivotally connected with the upper end of a lever (S8, which is pivotally mounted at 70 on the lower portion of the machine trame, and its lower end carries a cam roll 72 that engages a groove in a cam 74 carried by a driven shaft 7G journaled in suitable bearings in the lower portion of the machine frame. The abutment plates 3G for opening the gripping jaws are formed upon the upper end oi levers 78 that are pivotally mounted at 80 on the machine frame, and their lowerends carry cani rolls that engage cani surfaces on opposite sides of cam disks 84, the rolls being `held in engagement with the cani surfaces by `means of a coiled spring 86 connecting the lower arms of the "levers,
' The package holding member 64 is formed on the free end of an arm 88 secured onione end of a rock shaft 90, which is urged in a direction to press the block downwardly by means of a coiled spring 92 connected with i an arm 98 secured thereto (Figs. i and 9).
The label which is delivered across the path of each package as above described, is supported in abasket 94,- having its front and rear sides inclined downwardly toward each other with the lower end of the forward side `turned rearwardly to `forni a support for.. the lower edge of the label, the
. rear side of the `basket forming a continuation of the supporting plate 62 upon which the package is supported at the station beneath the holding member 64. The front and rear sides ofthe basket 94`are each pros vided with a series of vertical slots 96 (Figs.
f1 and 10), the slots inthe two sides being arranged opposite `to each other. A glue applying roll 98 is arranged adjacent the rear side of the basket, and'is provided with a series of flanges 100 arranged opposite to the slots in the walls of the basket.` The glueroll 98 has reduced ends (Fig. 9) that are journaled in bearings inthe end walls of a glue pot 102. The glue -potlis mounted on a su )porting arm 104 pivoted on a pin 10G y whici extends through ears on said arm and "wit . driven shaft 12e.
on a supporting block 105 on the base plate` 107 of the` machine frame, and is held on the supporting arm by means of a dove-tail joint connection 108 so as to permit it tobe easily removed and replaced. `The glue is supplied to `the peripheralsurfaces of the flanges 100 of the glue roll, by means of a. r
The glue pot and the rolls carried thereby, are rocked back and forth during the operation of the machine by means of a rod 132 having one endpivotally connected with the outer end of the shaft 120, and its other cud bifurcated to4 straddle a driven shaft 1811 which' carries a cam 186 that engages a cam roll 138 carried by the rod 132, the cam roll being held in engagement with the cam by means of a spring 140 connected with the `rod. The shaft 1811 is journaled in suitable brackets on the base plate 107 and is driven by a sprocket chain 142 that passes over a sprocket wheel thereon and a sprocket wheel` carried by the drive shaft `129,.
)When a label hasbeen delivered into the `basket 9st and previously `to the engagement ofthe package with :the label, the glue pot 102 rocked to carry the glue roll 98 forwardly so as to cause the flanges thereof to "fails to be delivered to the basket previously to this forward movement of the glue roll, the flanges of the glue roll entier slightly the slots in the forward side wall of the basket, and thus the glue roll will not strike and daub glue over any portion of the walls of the basket.
The `labels are supplied to the machine from amagazine 146 in which they are held in upright position in a stack. The labels are forced forwardly againstflanges at the forward endof the magazine, one of which is shown at 148 (Fig. 1) ,by means of a plunger head 150 which is pivotally mounted on the rear end `of a horizontal stud 152 having `its forward end secured 1n the lower end of a depending arm 154- carried by ahorizontal -rod 156.` 'ihis rodis mounted to slide in ,i suitablebearingsl in the top of the machine frame and 1s pressed rearwardly by means of a weight 158 "connected with the rear end thereof by a cord 160 that passes over suitably varranged guide pulleys 162.
The labels are adapted to be ouel by `one fed fromthemagazinm by mcansof a roll 164- which carries a segmental friction pad `168; for engagement with the labels. The
friction roll 164: delivers each label to apair offeed rolls 17 0 which in turn feed the label `between rolls .1.72and cooperates therewith to deliver the label across the path of movement ofthe package and into the basket 94, the llabel being guided during 'its passage from'the upper tot-he lower feed rolls by upright guide pins 173., The feed rolls 172 Vare each provided with a series of spaced flanges 17 4, the flanges of one roll being opposite to thek spaces between the flanges of the otherl'roll, and enteringsaid spaces slightly.
The feed rolls172ten'dto feed the label into the basket'9'4, but ythe engagement thereof with the label isso light, that when the lower edge of the label strikes the bottom of the basket' theyk edect' no further appreciable feeding action onthe label, they then Vmerely serving to supportthe upper end of the label until yit isengaged by the package,
whereupon the label is freely 'drawn from between the rolls and outof the basket.
-The vfriction roll 168 is rotated intermittently one complete revolutin,and the feed rolls 170 are rotated simultaneously at the fsamey surface speed therewith, the label feeding and supporting rolls l72-being rotated continuously. .The friction roll 164 is shown *in Fig. 1in the position it assumes when the rollzis at rest,the rfriction pad of the roll beingin engagement with the outer label 1n fthe-stack and havingcarried the lower end ff'of thelabel a sufficient distance out of the magazine to cause it to beengaged by the feed rolls 170. The label is in this position when the gripping jaws areat the limit of Y their advancing movementto present a pack- Vageto the wrapping mechanism, the package conveying mechanism Valso having delivered the next. package to be acted upon to the station beneath the holding member 64. The
friction roll 164-together with the feed rolls 170 remain at restzduring the first part of the reti-acting movement of theH gripping jaws to engage .thel package at said station. Before, however, the gripping jaws have advanced the latter package, the friction roll 164-isagain rotated one completerevolution to cooperate lwith `the 'feed rolls 170 to feed the label protruding from the magazine, be-
' tween the supporting rolls 172 and into the .f supporting basket 94, ready to be engaged by ysaid' package yas it is conveyed tothe-wrapping mechanism. Also during the revolu- -tionof the friction roll 164, the next label l:inthe stack is rvcarried downwardly bythe rrollso kas to position its lower end portion l between the"feed.rolls 170., whereupon the roll is brought-to rest as above described.
The friction roll 164 is'carried ionone end ofv a shaft'l75, the otherend of which eX- tends through and isjourn-aled in a bearing `176 -'(Figs`.' 4 .and 8),l on the machine fra-me.l
l f' A ratchet wheel17 8 is loosely mounted on 1 Ethe shaft 17 5, anda gear 180 isseeured ony "its vhub and-isloperatively engaged by a `rack 181 which is mountedlto slide verticallyY cured on the shaft 175.
in bearings in the machine frame.. The ratchet wheel 178 is provided with a single tooth that is adapted to engage a tooth on a pawl 182 pivotally mounted on an arm 184the pawl being held toward the periphery of the ratchet wheel by a spring 186 connected therewith. The arm 184 is selVith this construction, during the upward movement of the rack 181 the ratchet disk 178 acts through the pawl 182 to rotate the friction roll carrying shaft 175 one complete revolution, the shaft being at rest during the downward movement of the rack.
The feed rolls 17() are driven with the friction roll 164, through a gear 188 secured on the hub of the pawl carrying arm 184, and connected through an idler 190 with a gear 192 which is secured on the shaft of one of the feed rolls, and engages a. gear 194 secured on the shaft of the other feed roll.
The rack 181 extends downwardly through an opening in the base plate 107 and has its lower end connected by a link 196 with rone end of a cam lever 198 pivoted on the machine frame and carrying a cam roll that engages a groove in a cam 202 carried by the drive shaft 129.
The label feeding and supporting rolls 174 (Figs, 4 and 9) have their shafts extended through and journaled in bearings in the machine frame. rJrhe shafts are operatively connected by gears l204 secured thereon, and are driven by a belt 20G that passes over a pulley secured on one of them and a pulley secured on the continuously driven shaft 124.
.In the illustrated construction in case, for any reason, the conveying mechanism fails to deliver a package to the station beneath the holding member G4 during the advancing movement of the carrier block 12, the label feeding mechanism, comprising the frictimi roll 164 and the feed rolls 170, is rendered inoperative to feed a label into the basket 94 during'that cycle of operation of the vconveying mechanism, and this is accomthe bell crank is adapted, when the bell crank is turned in one direction and when the. pawl 182 is at rest, to engage a tail piece'210 on the outer end of the pawl to swing the pawl out of engagement with the tooth of the ratchet wheel 17 8, lllhen a package is positioned beneath the holding member 64the end of said arm of the bell crank is held out of' engagement with the pawl 182, but when there is no package thus positioned the spring 92 is permitted to turn the .bell crank to disconnect the pawl. It will, therefore, be apparent that as the conveying mechanism normally acts to deliver a package to the station beneath the holding memberI 64 before a label therefor is delivered to the basket 94, in case the conveying mechanism fails to thus position a package during any one of 'the cycles of operation thereof, the label feeding mechanism will be rendered inoperative to deliver a label during the remainder of that cycle of opera.- tion of the said conveying mechanism.
.lhe wrapping mechanism of the machine illustrated in the drawings is provided with wrapping rolls 214 preferably of rubber or other resilient material (Figs. 1, 3 and 5), that are mounted on a turret 216. This turret is secured on one end of a shaft 218 that has its other end portion extended. through and journalod in bearings in upright supporting frames 22() mounted on the base plate 107. The turret is provided with flanges 222 on its ends. j
The wrapping rolls 214 are arrangedin a series of four sets, with four rolls in each set which in. turn are arranged in pairs. Each set of rolls adapted to receive a. package and. its label between them, and adapted to be operated to wrap the label about the package. Each pair of rolls of each set is associated with a swinging carrier 226 which has inwardly projecting ears 228 pivotally mounted on a shaft 230 which extends through and is journaled in the flanges 222 of the turret. Une ofthe wrapping rolls of each pair is secured directly on the shaft 230, and the other wrapping roll which is the outer one, is secured on a shaft 232, having its ends extended through and journaled in projecting ears 234"at theends of the swinging carrier. The left hand outer `wrapping roll of each set, viewing Fig. 1, is
made in sections that` are spaced apart to permit the ends Vof tucker fingers236 to extend between them, the other ends of the tuckerl lingers being secured to aweb or bar 238 connecting the ends of the swinging car rier. The swinging carriers 226 associated with each set of wrapping rolls are adapted to be turned about the axes of their pivot shafts 230 to move the outer rolls thereof away from each other so` as to permit a package and its wrapper to be inserted between and against the inner rolls. The can riers of each set are, however, pressed toward each other, by means of a coiled spring 240 having its ends connected with the carriers.
flhe inward movement of the carriers, when there is no package between them, is limited by the engagement of projecting lugs 242 thereon with stop pins 244 secured on the inner' flange of the turret.
The swinging carriers 226 of each pair are adapted to be thus turned to swing their outer rolls away from each other when the turret has carried the rolls into position to receive a package from the gripping jaws as shown in Fig. 1, by means of a cam plate 246 (Fig. which is provided with an in wardly and downwardly inclined cani surface 248 for engaging a cam roll mounted on the upper swinging carrier, and an upwardly and inwardly inclined cam surface 252 for engaging a| cam roll 254 mounted on the lower swingingV carrier.
Vhen the outer wrapping rolls of a. set are opened as described, the gripping jaws position the package against the inner two wrapping rolls ofthe set, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 15. Then this occurs the cam plate 246 is retracted from the cam rolls carried. by the swinging carrier which permits the spring 240 to cause the outer rolls to be brought toward each other and against the package. The cam surfaces 248and 252 are so shaped that the upper swinging carrier is moved inwardly in advance of the lower swinging carrier, which causes the tucker fingers 236 carried thereby to bend the upper edge portion of the label downwardly over the back of the package, and at substantially the same time as this is effected, the upper wrapping roll engages the adjacent portion of the label and holds it against the package. After the tucker lingers have thus acted to tuck in the upper edge portion of the label over the back of the package, the lower wrapping roll bends the lower edge portion of the label upwardly over the other edge portion, as indicated in Fig. 16. As the edgeportions of the wrapper are thus tucked in an overlapping relation, the gripjliing jaws are released from the package and are returned to their position to receive the next package that is delivered to the station beneath the holding member 64. lVith all four rolls thus in engagement with the-package the rolls are ro tated to cause the package to revolve in a clockwise direction, viewing Fig. 1, so as to cause the label to be tightly drawn about the package and the overlying .edge of the label to which glue has been applied to be pressed tightly down upon the inner edge ofthe label. After the set of rolls that have thus received a package have been rotated a predetermined. number of times, the turret is .rotated 90 in a counter-clockwise direction,
. viewing Fig. 1, so as to positionthe next succeeding set of wrapping rolls in a posi tio-n to receive the next package that is advanced by the gripping jaws. In a similar manner, the other sets of wrapping rolls are successively positioned to receive the packages from the gripping jaws. All of the wrapping rolls are rotated to rotate the package after a set has closed upon the package, and the rolls continue to rotate during each movement of the turret, they being stopped when the turret is brought to rest, and remaining in stopped position'until the last package received has been engaged by the four rolls of the set to which it is presented.
By'ltlie time a set of rolls has reached a position directly beneath the axis of the turret, the package held thereby has been i'otated s'uiiiciently to cause the label to be tightly wrapped thereabout and to permit the glue that secures the overlapping edges of the label to dry. Vhen the package reaches said position, theV swinging carriers are opened to permit the package to drop by gravity down into a forwardly and downwardly inclined chute 256 which delivers the package` to a conveyor belt 258 for conveying the packages from the machine. The swinging'carriers are adapted to be opened .to thus discharge the package by means of a vertically movable wedge shaped cam plate'260, the inclined cam surfaces of which act on the'camv rollsh250 and 254i. Vhen the packagehas been discharged the cam plate 260 is retracted to 'permit the carriers to close.
` The cam plate'246 is secured on the upper end of arocker arm 262 which has its lower leind secured on one end of a pivot shaft 263 (Figs. 2 and 3) which is mounted in a bracket secured on the `under side of the base i plate 107.' An arm 264 is secured on the l Geneva connection.
lthereof comprises a cam 'roll 284 which is other end ofthe pivot shaft and carries a vcam roll which engages a cam groove 266 in a cam carried by the drive shaft 129.
Thecam plate 260 (Fig. 5) is provided with a vertical guide slot 268 through which the shaft 134 extends. This cam plate is secured on the upper end of a rod 270, the
lower endV of which carries a forked guide plate 272 n (Figs. 2 and 3) that straddles the vshaft 129 and carries a cam roll that engages a cam groove'274 in a cam disk cari'ied by the shaft 129. f
The driving connection for the turret 216 comprises agear276 secured on the further end of the turret shaft`218, that is operatively engaged'by a gear 278 secured on a short shaft 280 which extends through the outer supporting frame 220 and carries on its inner` end the driven member 2 82 of a The driving member carried by a rotating'arm 286 secured to the shaft 134i, the driven member of the geneva being provided with suitably arranged pocketsv287 for .receiving the cam roll.
The mechanism for driving the wrapping rolls carried by the turret comprises a pinion 288 which is secured on one end of the shaft that carries the outer roll on each swinging carrier 226. Each pinion 288 engages an idle gear 290, which in turn engages a pinion 292 on the end of the shaft 230 that carries that are adapted to receive actuating cam rolls 308 carried by the actuating arm 286.
r)lie pockets in the driven. members 282 and 301 of the two Geneva connections are in each case six in number. lrhe provision. however, of two actuating rolls 308 for the driven member 301- that are spaced 120 apart, instead of a single roll as for the driven member 282, results in the wrapping rolls being driven both during each move@ ment of the roll carrying turret 216` and also just previous to said movement and immediately after a set of rolls have closed upon the package presented thereto, as above de,- scribed.
