In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved adhesive-applying machine by the use of which the coating of articles such, for example, as molded counters may be facilitated and which will produce the requireddip-lines on the articles, provision being made for var] ation in the angular relation of the dip-line to a surface or corner of the a'rticle.- i

To this end and in accordancewith a fea' ture of the invention, the'illustrated adhesiveapplying machine comprises a receptacle for fluid and a support for articles tobe coated,

which support. and receptacle are relatively adjustable to determine the angular relation of the article to be coated and the surface of fluid in the receptacle into which the article is dipped upon relative movement of the support and receptacle.

. V In accordance with a further feature of I vision being made for holdmg them in their adjusted positions.

the invention,the illustrated machine is provided with aplurality of work-supporting grids adapted to hold rowsof individual, counters,'said grids being simultaneously adjustable relatively tothe level of the fluid into which they are to be. dipped and pro- These and other objectsand features of the invention, including certain details of construction and combinations of parts, will 'be described as embodied in an illustrative machine and pointed out'in theappended claims.

IA frame 10 adapted a}. be mounted upon a column of a machine with which the illustrated coating machine is to be used has associated with it a receptacle in the form of a generally rectangular pan 12 to receive the paste or other I adhesive which is to be applied. Arranged to slide vertically-in alined openings. in the frame and passing through openings in

extensions

14, 14 at opposite ends of the pan are carrier-

rods

16, 16 connected near the lower portions 'ofthe frame by a cross-bar Ifidesired, the dimensions of the pan 12 and frame 26 may be such that any number of grids-may be similarly mounted on the frame 26. Each grid is made up of a series of bars 32 intersecting each other at right angles and has at one side thereof an: upstanding rib or stop 34 which serves .not only to keep the counters from sliding off the grid but acts also as a gage to position the counters in jalinement on the grid. The grid frame% has. an upstanding portion 40 in whicha circular groove 42 is formed concentric with the fulcrum 27 of the right-hand grid 30. In order simultaneously to move the grids into the same angular position with respect tothe surface of the fluid in-the pan a rod 38 is provided to whichare pivotally connected arms 3636 the lower ends of which are rigidly secured to the grids 30. For the purpose of holding the grids 30 in their adjusted positions a binding screw.44 and nut 46 are provided to lock the arms 3636 and rod 38 in their adjusted positions against the upstandin'gportion of the frame 26.

LThe right-hand extension 14 of the pan 12 has a boss 56 through which is threaded an adjustable set screw 48 adapted to cooperate with the under' surface 58 of an extension on the right-hand bracket'22 to limit the downward movementof the grids 30 and supporting frame 26.. Normally the grids are held with their upper faces near the top of the pan conveniently for the application of the work-pieces by'the operator bysprings 48, 48 (Fig. 1) which surround the rods 16 between the cross-bar 18 and a bottom bar 50 of the frame The grids may be lowered for their immersion with the work in the fluid contained in thej'pan by a lever 52 fullcrumed .at 53 upon the frame and resting at itsunderside against the cross-bar 18.

In coating. molded counters, for example, theloperator .places arow of separated unnested counters side-bysside'on each grid30 r with the upperedgesoftheir bodies resting thereon and their flangedynormally lowermost edges uppermostymoves. the rod 38 either tothe "right or left sufliciently to position the flanged edges of the counters in the desired plane relativelytothe surface of the fiuid in the; receptacle, andstightens the nut 46: to. hold the grids in .theiradjusted positions. Adjustment of the screw 48, regulates the depth to which the grids maybe .im-'

mersed in the fluid; Depressionof the-grids is effected 1. through pressure by] the Operator upon a pad 54 at the forward extremity of thexlever52. I 1 1 i a .1 Thus, according to the angular position of a; grid relatively to the surface of the fluid in thexreceptacle, the upper edge of that portion counter B.

( ofthe counter on the grid whichisimmersed in thefluid, herein referred to as the dip-line 60, may be either parallel to the flanged edge of thecounter,asshownin Fig. 5,- when it iscd esired to coat a short counter A or the dip-line 60 may be inclined relatively to the flanged edge of the counter, as shown in Fig. 6, when it'lisdesiredto coat an extra long YHaving described myinvention, what 1 claimas-new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: I V 1 1.1 In a coatingmachine, a receptacle for fluid, a support for an article to be coated,
