1' all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, EZRA T. HAZELTINE and JOHN JACOB BENzINo, both of Warren,

in the county of Warren and State of Pennsylvania, together with FRANK A. WELD, of Stanton, in the county of Stanton and State of Nebraska, have invented anew and Improved Hand Pasting-Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved machine for pasting to: gether the sheets forming a pamphlet.

The invention consists in a pasting-machine constructed with a sliding table and with a swinging paste-box provided with a disk for distributing paste on a line across sheets held on the sliding table; The sliding table is provided with a cam-ridge for raising the pastebox during the movement of the table in one direction, and with a spring-standard for holding the paste-box raised, so that the sheets can pass under it during the movementpf the- 0 in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all'the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of our improved hand pasting-machine on the line at x of Fig. 4. Fig. 2is a cross-sec- 3 5 tional elevation of the same on the line y y of Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a side view of the paste-box, partsbeing shown'in section. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the machine.

A table,-A, is held to slide on a base-board,

40 B, the said base-board being provided in its sides with grooves for receiving the side edges of the sliding table A. The sliding tableis provided at its front end with a transverse undercut piece, A. Two standards, 0, project 5 upward from the sides of the baseboard, and in the upper ends of the said standards a transverse shaft, D, is held, and on the said shaft D a loose sleeve, E, is mounted, which is provided with a binding-screw, F, for holding it in place. On the sleeveE a rocking block, G,

-is mounted, which is provided with a segmental slot, I, through which the screw F passes, thus permitting the screw F to limit the rocking movements of the said block. On the said rocking block G a plate, H, is held by screws H, which plate projects slightly upward and toward the rear, and to the front of the block G a downwardly-inclined arm, J, is fastened, on the lower end of which a pastecup, K, is secured, which is provided in its bottom with a longitudinal slot, L. In two arms, M, projecting downward from the bottom of the cup K, a disk, N, is journaled in such a manner that its edge passes into the slot L, but does not project above the top surface of the bottom of the said paste box or cup. The edge of the disk Nis preferably serrated.

An inclined gutter or trough, O, is provided with a screw-threaded stem, P, projecting from the innerend at one side, which stem passes through asuitable guide-casing, P, on the under side of the box K, and the said stem is screwed through a nut, Q, held to revolve in a plate, Q, held on the front of the box. The 7 5 gutter is provided at its inner end with a slot, through which part of the disk N- can pass.

On that end of the sliding table A opposite the one provided with the handle-piece A an upright spring, R, is secured, which is bent downward at its upper end, R, in such a manner that the free end of the plate H will be higher from the surface of the table A when the disk N rests on the sheets on the table than the free end of the spring It. Plus S project upward from the table at each side for facilitating the adjustment of the sheets.

On the upper surface of the table, and near the end provided with the upright spring, R, a cam ridge or projection, T, is arranged in'such a manner that it can strike against one of the arms M of the paste box or cup when the said table A is reeiprocated. The cam-ridge T is preferably held in such a manner that it can be adjusted according to the width of the pa- 95 per and to correspond with the adjustment of the sleeve E.

The operation is as follows: The sliding table A is drawn in the direction of the arrow at as far as possible, whereby the cam-ridge T [00 is passed under one of the arms M, or under the shaft of the disk N, and raises the same so high that the bottom of the said disk will be above the uppermost sheet, IV, placed on the perfluous mucilage or other paste.

table. The spring-standard R will then be near the shaft D, and the free end of the said spring R will be directly over the plate H. A sheet, W, is then placed on the table A, or on the other sheets, in such a manner that the registering holes in the said sheet are above the pins S, which pass into the said holes. The table A is movedin the inverse direction of the arrow a, thus causing the spring-standard R, which slides along the plate H, to press down the free end ofthe plate H, thereby raising the paste cup or box and its disk, and the disk N will be carried over the sheets without coming in contact with the same or distributing any paste on the said sheets. When the springstandard R passes the free end of the plate H, the said plate is released and the paste-cup drops of its own weight, thus causing the rim of the disk N to rest on the uppermost sheet, W. If, then, the table is again moved in the direction of the arrow a, the disk N will run over the uppermost sheet and deposit a line of paste on the middle of the same. When the disk arrives at the end of the sheet, the camridge T strikes one of the arms M on the shaft of the disk N, and raises the said disk and the paste-cup, so as to prevent the paste from being distributed onthe table. The free end of the spring R then snaps on the plate H, and if the table A is moved in the inverse direction of the arrow at the spring holds the disk N raised, in the manner previously described, and so on.

The scraper or trough 0, through which the edge of the disk passes, scrapes off all the su- By means of the nut Q and the screw P the scraper, gutter, or trough can be arranged to scrape off more or less of the paste or mucilage. As the rim of the disk N does not project above the upper surface of the bottom of the paste-box, and as the rim of the disk fits quite closely in the slot L, the rim of the disk only will carry the mucilage or paste from the box, and no mucilage or paste will adhere to the sides of the disk.

The above described machine gums the pages in a straight line along the center, and in order to form the pamphlet all that is necessary is to gum a sheet in the manner described, place another one on it, gum the second sheet, and so on, and when a sufficient number of sheets have been united the completed pamphlet is removed.

The paste-distributing device can be adjusted according to the length of the pamphlet.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A pasting-machine constructed, substantially as herein shown and described, with a sliding table and with a pivoted paste-box provided with a disk for distributing the paste on a line across the sheet placed on the table, as set forth.

2. A pasting-machine constructed with a swinging pastebox provided with a paste-dis tributing disk, and with a spring acting upon a plate of the paste-box for holding the pasteboX and its disk raised when the sheet is passed under it in one direction, said paste-box being lowered by gravity when the sheet passes in the inverse direction, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. In a pasting-machine, the combination, with a swinging paste-box and a distributingdisk, of a sliding table for carrying the sheets, and a spring-standard secured on the said table and adapted to hold the paste-box and its disk raised, substantially as herein shown and described.

4. In a pastingmachine, the combination, with a paste-box and apaste-distributing disk, of a sliding table for carrying the sheets, and a cam-ridge secured on the table and adapted to raise the paste-box and its disk, substantially as shown and described.

5. In a pasting-machine, the combination, with a swinging paste-box having a paste-dis tributing disk, of the swinging block G, on which the paste-box is held, the sleeve E, on which the block G moves, the shaft D, on which the sleeve is mounted, and a screw for locking the sleeve E in plaee,'the said screw passing through a slot in the block G, substantially as herein shown and described.

6. In a pasting-machine, the combination, with a transverse shaft suitably supported, of a block swinging on the same, apaste-box held on one end. of the block and a plate on the other, a sliding table, and a standard secured on the table and adapted to press down the plate secured on the abovementioned block, substantially as herein shown and described.

7. In a pasting-machine, the combination, with a paste-box having a slot in its bottom, of a paste-distributing disk journaled below the box, and a combined scraper and gutter for scraping off the superfluous paste from the disk, substantially as herein shown and described.
