CHARLES A. WRIGHT, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
MACHINE FOR GILDI'NG CARDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,303, dated December 18, 1883. Application filed October 20, 1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom itmay concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. WRIGHT, of the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Machines for Gilding Cards, &c., of which the following is a specification.
My invention has reference to machines for gilding cards, paper, 810.; and it consists in a wheel loosely supported on a stationary hearing, and having its periphery provided with a series of clamps, by which the cards are clamped, and in many details of construction, all of which are fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, which form part thereof.
Heretofore it has been customary to clamp the cards, 820., in separate stationary benches, which required much space and the employment of much needlesslabor, rendering the process of gilding expensive and slow.
The object of my invention is to overcome these difficulties and objectionable features in the old method of gilding byproviding suitable mechanism which takes up but'little space, allows of rapid manipulation, and increases the production of work with the employment of less labor. Vith my improved gilding-wheel I am enabled to have as many as twenty-eight or thirty clamps in the space formerly required for two or three, and I am also enabled to work rapidly, as it is not necessary to shift about for every clamp, as they are successively brought before the gilder without his moving from one position. The advantage of this form of gilding apparatus is especially obvious in gilding the oblique edges of cards, as pointed out hereinafter.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved gilding -wheel, showing all but three sets of clamps removed. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of same on line 00 a7, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation of one of the clamps.
A is thestationary shaft. B is the clampwheel, and is loosely carried thereon, and-is provided with lugs O, to support the clamps G from displacement. The shaftA is supported by a frame or support, D, and the wheel B is prevented from displacement by collars E F, secured to said shaft. If desired, the wheel B may be secured to the shaft A and the latter supported in frames D, made integral with the collars E F; but I prefer the former construction, as I am enabled to place a number of the wheels B upon the sameshaft and allow each to be rotated independently of the other.
The clamps G consist of two jaws, H and K, the former of which is clamped to the wheel B by bolts I and kept from displacement by two or four lugs, O. In place of these lugs, another bolt may be used. The lower jaw, H, is provided with forked prongs h, to support the board R, and the j aw K is provided with a cross clamping-piecak, whichpresses down upon the board R. The cards or paper S are clamped betweenthe boardsRB. The jawKis hinged to the jaw H at J, and is provided with an arm, K, which, during the rotation of the wheel B, moves againsta stationary roller, L, j ournaled on the end of a spring-arm, P, secured to the rigidarm F of the collar F or frame D; or it may be secured to the floor. If the clampingpressure is removed, when the wheel B is turned so as to bring one of the extending arms K against the spring-wheel L, the upper or hinged jaw, K, is forced away from jaw H, unclamping the cards. These jaws are clamped in the following manner: The jaw H is provided with a hub, M, through which a screw, N, works, which latter is provided with a hand-wheel, O, and bearing-point n, and is arranged to press down on the jaw K immei the card.
The joint J between the jaws H and K, be-
ing below the clamping-line of jaw K, causes the end k to clamp in a line tangent to the are described about the said joint J, or in a direction toward the end of jaw H, as indicated by dotted line, Fig.3, thereby insuring the oblique edges of the cards to be gilded being pressed firmly together. A pivoted bar, U, supported on the floor at U, and provided at the top with a notch, u, may be used to hold the wheel B in a stationary position and in the right place during the gilding operation. The end of the jaw H rests in the notch, as shown.
The operation is as follows: The clamps are all furnished with cut cards, and then those of each clamp are gilded in succession, and when the cards are all gilded the wheels 0 are turned and the spring-wheel L forces up the jaw K, and the cards are removed and replaced by ungilded ones, and the operation takes place again.
I do not limitmysclf to the details of construction, as my invention comprehends, broadly, a gilding-whecl provided with a series of clamps upon its periphery; but I prefer the construction shown as being most practical.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
