MACHINE FOR PILING PAPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,205, dated January 4, 1881.
Application filed September 11, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JosEPH O. KNEELAND, of Northampton, in the county of Hampshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improved Machine for Piling Paper, (which has not been patented to any person in any foreign country with my knowledge and consent,) of which the following is a specification. 7
m The object of my invention is to provide a convenient and effective device for delivering paper in sheets of any desired size from any machine in which it has been operated upon, and place it in a compact pile convenient for handling it for further operations, and I accomplish this result by the mechanism shown in the accom1.)anying illustration, in which- Figure Iis aplan view of my invention shown as connected with a paper-ruling machine.
to Fig. II is a front view of the same. Fig. III is a side view of the same; and Fig. IV is an enlarged transverse section of one pair of the OOIIIOHL rolls which take the paper from the feeding-apron ot' the machine with which the device is connected. I
In the drawings, 0 represents the frame of a paper-ruling machine, in which B is a roll carrying an endless apron, A, ordinarily used to carry sheets of paper from one part of the 0 machine to another, and 0 represents the side pieces of my device, properly framed together, either by bars 5 or by other suitable means; and this frame I prefer to place in a slightlyinclined position when connected with a ruling or other machine from which it is desired to deliver and pile the paper.
Secured upon the side pieces, O, are the supports 4, in the upper end of each of which are three bearings, 7, and in the lower end of each is a single bearing, nearly in a vertical line beneath the middle bearing 7 at the top, as shown clearly in Fig. III.
A shaft, 1, has its ends resting in either of the upper bearings 7, and upon this shaft are two rolls, 2, smallest in diameter at their outer ends and made conical, and a portion of their inner ends made cylindrical and covered with some elastic material, preferably with cloth or felt; and these rolls may be secured at any distance apart and at any desired point along (No model.)
the shaft 1 by set-screws 9, (shown in Fig. IV,) or by any other suitable means. I
A shaft, 10, has its hearings in the lower end of the supports 4, or in the side pieces of the machine, at a point nearly in avertical line beneath the middle bearing 7, and on this shaft 10 are two other rolls, 3, largest in diameter at their outer ends, and made conical to match, approximately, the conical portions of the upper rolls, 2, and with aportion of their inner ends also made cylindrical to match, approximately, the cylindrical portions of the upper rolls, 2, and covered or partially covered with some elastic material, as shown clearly at a, and this elastic material on both the upper and lower rolls may come in contact, so that a sheet of paper inserted between the two sets of rolls 2 and 3 may be grasped between them to carry it through quickly and without soiling the paper. This conical form of the rolls 2 and 3 causes the sheet of paper, in passing through, to assume an approximate curved form transversely, the sheet having approximately a straight or horizontal position in the direction in which it is moving, which causes each sheet to move nearly to its position over the pile where it is to lie before any portion of the sheet has a tendency to drop or curve downward. After the sheet passes between the rolls 2 and 3 it drops upon the slats 6, or upon a platform there arranged to receive it; but in order that all the sheets may fall more uniformly and into a pile, I arrange the slats 6 so that they may be moved along upon the bars -5 into a position either near together or farther apart, and then secured by any desirable means; and if the bars 6 are moved nearer together for smaller-sized sheets of paper the side pieces, D, are also moved inward and nearer together, and at the 0 outer ends of the slats 6 I secure a series of upright bars, 8, of any desired number, and as the sheets of paper pass between the rolls 2 and 3 they drop upon the bars 6, down which they slide, and rest against the upright bars 8, 5 which serve as guides to keep that end of the pile of paper even and uniform, while the two side pieces, D, give the same uniformity and regularity to the sides of the pile.
In passing short sheets of paper between the I00 rolls it might be desirable to guide each sheet downward, or give it a down ward tendency toward the pile, in which case the shaft 1 may, instead of resting in the middle bearing 7 of the supports 4, be made to rest in the front bearing, nearest the upright bars 8. beingtaken out of the middle and placed in the front bearings, as the rolls 2 will then overhang the rolls 3, and will have a tendency to guide the sheets downward as they pass through; but in passing through long sheets the shaft 1 may be placed in the rear bearings 7, or those farthest from the upright bars 8, in which case each sheet of paper as it passes through will have a tendency to shoot upward.
This device may be attached to any machine in which sheets of paper are operated upon, so that as they pass out of such machine they may be packed nicely and evenly in a pile, and is simple, is very much less complicated, and is much more positive in its action than that for which Letters Patent were granted to me November 27, 1877, No. 197,477, and upon which it is a very great improvement.
It is evident that, if the device is to be used in connection with a machine which runs only one size of paper, the matched conical rolls on both shafts may be permanently fixed thereto, as it would not be necessary to change the position of one pair with reference to the other, unless it were desired to pile paper of different sizes upon the receiving-platform.
It is also evident that, instead of changing the position of the upper shaft in a direction at right angles to its length, the upper one may remain permanent and the lower one be changed, when desired, without departing in the least from the invention.
Asmall pulley or band-wheel, 11, is attached, preferably, to the lower shaft, 10, and thefriction of the elastic surface on the lower rolls, 3, against the elastic surface of the upper rolls,
2, causes those to revolve also. If only one size of paper is to be piled constantly the receiving-platform need not be made adjustable in size, but a permanent or stationary platform may be used.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. In a machine for piling paper, the combination of two pairs of matched conical rolls operating on shafts one above the other, each roll provided with an elastic surface on its periphery, and one pair made movable and adjustable with reference to the other pair, and the shaft upon which two of the rolls are secured made movable and adjustable with reference to the other shaftiu a direction at right angles to the length of the shaft, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a machine for piling paper, the cont bination of two pairs of matched conical rolls, one above the other, each provided with an elastic surface on its periphery, one pair made movable and adjustable with reference to the other pair, and an adjustable receiving-platform, which may be enlarged or diminished to correspond with the size of the paper to be piled thereon, substantially as described.
3. In a machine for piling paper, the combiuation of two pairs of matched conical rolls, one above the other, one pair made movable and adjustable with reference to the other pair, and each provided with an elastic surface on its periphery, substan tiallyas described.
4. In a machine for piling paper, the combination of two pairs of matched conical rolls, one above the other, and each provided with an elastic surface on its ieriphcry, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
