APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING WIRE STAPLES IN COHERENT STRIPS Fil ed Oct: 13. 1930 Patented Jan. 2, 1934 UNITED STATES,
PATENT OFFICE APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING WIRE STAPLES IN COHERENT STRIPS Oscar Kleinsclunit, Leipzig-Plagwitz, Germany,
assignor to Gebruder Brehmer, Leipzig- Plagwitz, Germany, a firm of Germany 20 Claims.
The present invention relates to wire staples and is more particularly concerned with a method of producing such staples in coherent strips of the required length for insertion in the magazine of a wire-stitching or like machine.
The production of such strips is already known to the art, the staples, when secured m this form, being handled and fed to the machine much more conveniently than when loosely arranged on a bar. In the known forms of staple strips, the interconnection of the individual staples is effected by soldering the adjacent staples together or by applying a strip of solder or cementitious material along the back or horizontal surfaces of, the assembled staples. Methods of interconnecting the staples by applying solder or strips of paper to the outer angles of the staples have also been disclosed.
In the above known methods where solder is employed the disadvantage is experienced that the soldering flux which is indispensable for the operation causes discolouration of the outwardly situated soldered surfaces of the staples. This is particularly noticeable when the staple strips are left for a considerable time and not only spoils the appearance of the staples but also tends to render them unfit for use.
On the other hand, connecting the staples together by cementing the back surface has the disadvantage that the contractive action of the cementitious layer, when drying, warps the staple-strips and entails the supplementary work of trueing the strips after drying, thus entailing extra work and a proportion of rejected strips.
In any of the known methods above described, the securing means is left on the outer exposed portion of the applied staple and so spoils the finished appearance of the latter.
The object of the present invention is to connect the staples together, in the course of manufacture, in a manner which will produce staplestrips which are both perfectly straight and will remain unwarped and which also are unsoiled on the surface displayed by the applied staples.
According to this invention apparatus is provided for carrying into effect a method of producing a coherent strip of staples whereby an inner side of a row of staples, assembled-in a manner known per se, is coated with quick drying adhesive the contractive force of which, during the drying thereof, causes the several sides of the adjacent assembled staples to press together, so that the resulting staple-strips remain firmly connected in a straight line.
Apparatus for carrying this method into effect,
is shown in the accompanying drawing, embodied in a staple producing machine.
Fig. 1 illustrates diagrammatically the method of isecuring the row of staples into a coherent s r p.
Fig. 1a is a perspective view of a staple-strip so formed.
Fig. 2 is a. side elevation of part of a staple forming machine showing the apparatus used for assembling and securing together the rows of staples, and
Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the staple forming anvil 10, projecting from the machine in the longitudinal forward direction, is associated with a wire-supply reel 11 and staple forming mechanism 12, of known type. The latter cuts the wire, periodically fed from the reel 11, into suitable lengths a each of which is bent into rectangular channel form over the anvil 10, by means of the staple-former 12. The staple, thus formed, is moved forward along the anvil 10 by means of a reciprocating pusher member 13, in common with the staples subsequently formed. In this manner, a row of staples is progressed along the anvil 10 and caused to pass over a vertical recess 14 formed at a convenient point of the anvil.
An adhesive applying roller or disc 15. is rotatably mounted in a tray or bath containing an adhesive such as lacquer and positioned immediately below the recess in the anvil 10. The roller is arranged to project through the recess 14 and so contact at its periphery with the underside of the row of staples being pushed past the recess as above described. The roller 15, which is preferably faced with an absorbent material, is slowly rotated continuously or intermittently so that a freshly moistened'portion of the periphery engages each of the staple-strips that 96 are progressed past.
One means of intermittently rotating the adhesive roller is shown in Figs. 2 and -3. An extension of .the'shaft, upon which the adhesive roller is mounted, carries a ratchet wheel 1'7. A pawl member 18 connected to the mechanism which actuates the pusher member 13, eng es the ratchet wheel as shown. In this manner, the adhesive roller 15 is carried round one step during each stroke of the reciprocating pusher member 13. The adhesive tray or bath is continuously replenished with adhesive by known means as shown. v The roller 15 could be moistened, if preferred, by a drip feed or other known means.
'In this manner the staples in the slowly moving row are coated on the underside of .the transverse portion with a strip of adhesive such as quick. drying lacquer as shown in Figs. 1 and 1a which provides the binding force as above described.
Positioned at the delivery end of the anvil, is an automatically controlled severing device (not shown) which severs the interconnected staples, thus joined, into coherent strips of the desired length.
