SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,498, dated December 30, 1890.
Application filed May 23,1890. Serial No. 352,915. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN W. COLLIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lockport, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Securing Hangers to the Corners of Paper-Covered Books; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the [O invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to the improvements in that class of machinery employed in securing hangers to the corners of paper-covered books, almanacs, and pamphlets, its object being to produce a machine which is automatic in all its operations after the stock has been fed into the same; and it consists in a machine the combination and arrangement of which will enable me to punch a hole'in the corner 2 5 of a paper-covered book, almanac, pamphlet,
&c., and at the same time pass a string or cord through the same, cutting the string at the desired length, an d tying its ends together.
My invention further consists in other details of construction, all of which I will now proceed to definitely describe and claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved punching and stringing machine. Mounted upon the main shaft o 3 5 the machine are three wheels carrying cams, and which for convenience I have numbered 1, 2, and 3. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views showing the operation of the cams on the first wheel. Fig.4 is a detail view showing the operation of the cams or projection on the second wheel, and Fig. 5 is a diagram of the grooved cam on the periphery of the second wheel. Figs. 6 and 7 arcdetail views of the cams on the third wheel. Fig. 8 is a top view of my improved machine. Fig. 9 is an en larged top View showing the shears, nippers, and slide and their operation.- Figs. 10 and 11 are detail views of the nippers employed for drawing and holding the string or cord while the knot is being tied. Fig. 12 is a detail view of the spring-pressed catch for holding the end of the string as the punch or needle rises. Fig.
13 is a detail View of the punch or needle. Fig. let is a detail view showing the knotter as it rests in its carriage. Figs. 15, 16, 17, and 18 are detail views showing the operation of the knotter. Fig. 19 is a detail view of the cast-off for releasing the cord from the knotter. Fig. 20 is adetail view showing the friction-pulleys by means of which the power is applied to my improvement, and Fig. 21 is a detail view showing one of the cylinders of the knotter.
Referring to the drawings, a is the frame, having at its ends the brackets a a, their lower ends being secured together by the cross-bar a Loosely j ournaled in these brackets a a is the main shaftb,upon which are mounted the cam-operating wheels 1, 2, and 3, numbered successively from theright to the left as they appear on the main shaft in Fig. 1.
On the right-hand side of the first wheel is arranged a cam c, which operates a vertical rod 0 having the pin 0 resting in the groove of the cam c. This vertical rod 0 passes up through the frame a, and is secured to the vertical rod cl by a short arm (Z The rod 0 is held in a perpendicularposition bya short band or plate 0 secured to the lower end of the bracket to, and between which the rod 0 slides. The rods d d have a perpendicular reciprocating motion in the brackets f f, which are rigidly secured to the top of the frame a by the rod f. At the lower end of 8 the rod (1' is secured the punch or needle 6, (more clearly shown in Fig. 13,) its upper end 2 being enlarged for securing the same to the rod cl, and its lower end or point e being made V-shaped to facilitateits cutting or punchingin passing through the paper book. A grooved recess 6 is longitudinally arranged, starting from a point near the top of the me dle and running down to its eye on one side, and running from the eye down to the point on the other side for the reception of the string or cord. On the left-hand side of the first wheel is arranged the cam g for operating the pivoted rod 9 This rod g is pivoted at its lower end'to the cross-bar (F, and
having a pin g resting in the groove of cam 9, its upper end being loosely pivoted to the slide 71, which is made to slide back and forth in the frame a. This slide h (see Fig. 9) connected to the levers i, 2",and i by a short upwardly-projecting arm 71., and by which means the shears j are operated. Also, upon this slide 71. are arranged the nippers 75, formed of two steel springs or plates secured to the slide 7t, and having the holes 7.1 arranged in their outer ends (which extend beyond the slide) to allow the punch or needle to pass through them. These steel springs or plates as they approach the paper book or pamphlet to be operated upon are separated by a short wedge k thus placing one plate above and one below the point of operation, thus forming a die for the punch or needle when passing through the same. Two small projections Z l are also arranged on the left-hand side of the first wheel, and are so placed as to open the spring-catch on to receive the end of the spring or cord and release the same.
At the right-hand side of the second-wheel I have arranged the cam or projection 12. for operating the slide 72 in the frame a. A short pivoted lever 12?, pivoted to a downwardlyprojecting arm or hanger a", has arranged at its lower end a short pin nflwhich rides along the right-hand side of the second wheel and operates the pivoted lever a as it passes over the cam 02, the pivoted lever n being connected to the slide a by the rod or. (see Fig. 5,) the lever n and the slide a being returned to their normal position by the spiral spring 92 embedded in the frame a, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 8. The slide a has arranged on its upper surface two metallic bands or strips slightly raised above thesurface of the slide for the reception of the paper book or pamphlet to be operated upon and serve to hold the same in position. Its object in passing back and forth in the frame a is to shove the stock onto the endless belt or carrier 19, where it passes off, and as the slide returns to its normal position it is again fed for the next operation.
()n the periphery of the second wheel is arranged a grooved cam q, into which the pin (1 rests, projecting downwardly from the carriage (1 into which is journaled the knotter r. This knotter 1' moves with the carriage back and forth in the frame a, being operated by the pin q resting in the groove (1.
On the left side of the third wheel is arranged the cam 0, which operates the pivoted rod 0', which is pivoted at its lower end to the cross-bar a and having a small pin 0 secured to its center, projecting into the groove of the cam 0. A segmental gear 3, mounted in the bracket g projecting from the carriage is connected to the pivoted rod 0' at its upper end by the connecting-rod 0. This connecting-rod 0 is jointed, so as to admit of its perfect operation while the carriage is passing back and forth in an opposite direction to the lever 0. It will be seen that the motion given to the pivoted arm 0 by the cam 0 gives a reciprocating motion to the segmental gear .9.
On the opposite side of the third wheel are arranged the cams or projections M. A short lever u, pivoted to the end of the brackets q and having its upper end resting against the rear end of the knotter 1', its lower end extending downwardly and coming in contact with the projection 25 I on the left-hand side of the third wheel, causes its upper end to press against the rear end of the knotter 'r. This knotterr is constructed of two cylinders "I" 1*, one within the other, the outer cylinder 1 being loosely jonrnaled in the carriage but securely held from lateral displacement, and having at its rear end a small pinionwheel r", which inter-meshes with the segmental gear s. The forward end of this cylinder r is cut in cross-section, having a narrow tapering segment 'r, the end of which is formed into a spiral-shaped hook r'", as shown in Figs. 1% to 18. The inner cylinder 0' is held within the cylinder r by a pin 1", but given a limited lateral play by reason of the elongated slot through which the pin 4" passes, as shown in Fig. 21. At the rear of the cylinder r and encircling its outer surface is the spiral spring 9' which presses against the rear end of the cylinder 1" at one end and a projecting head 1' at its otherend, upon which the pivoted lever it also acts. The forward end of this inner cylinder r is formed the same as that of the cylinder 0', having the segmental tapering projection 7" and spiralshaped hook r These spiral-shaped hooks and tapering projections appear as but one hook and projection when in their normal position, as seen in Fig. 15; but as the pivoted lever to passes over the projection t on the third wheel it will cause the inner cylinder-r to be moved forward within the cylinder 2", thereby grasping the ends of the string or cord, as seen in Fig. 17, and as the lever passes over the second projection t, the knot then being tied, the ends of the string are released.
To the rear of the main shaft and running parallel with it is the shaft u, resting loosely in the brackets a a and having rigidly secured thereto the short arms or brackets 11: 11;, extending upwardly, and into which is loosely journaled the auxiliary shaft 10 upon which is mounted the pulley-whcel w" and friction-pulley u".
Rigidly secured to the shaft 10 is the manipulating-lever w", by which means the friction-pulley {U4 is brought to bear against a larger friction-pulley .70, mounted on the main shaft 1), thusimparting themotiou to the machine.
At the left-hand side of the main shaft (see Fig. l) is mounted the small grooved pulley g, which is connected to the pulley 3 by the cord or belt 3 which operates the conveyer or carriers 19, which carries oil": the stockas the operation is completed.
In operation the paper book or pamphlet is first placed upon the slide m',being held in position by the metallic strips or bands projecting over it. The nippers Zr, arranged on the slide h, which is operated by the cam 9, then approaches the book and are opened or separated by the wedge k one of the plates passing above and the other below the book at the point of operation and forming a die for the punch or needle e,which is now caused to pass down by the action of the cam c. This needle 6, having the cord or string threaded through its eye with end protruding, passes down through the holes in the ends of the nippers k, punching the openingin the corner of the book, and at the same time carrying the string or cord with it. As the punch or needle e approaches its lowest point, the springcatch at is opened by one of the projections Z on the left-hand side of the first wheel, and the needle passing between it, the protruding end of the string or cord passing between the parts m m of the spring-catch, and as the catch is released from the projection l the tension of the spring holds the end of the string or cord, which is now drawn through the eye of the needle as it rises. After the point of the needle has reached its highest point, which is above the shears j, the slide h, with the nippers It, starts to move back to its normal position, by which action the shears are made to close, cutting the cord or string slightly below the needle-point, and the other projection Z on the first wheel of the main shaft opens the spring-catch, releasing the lower end of the string, which is drawn back by the nippers 7r, as shown on Fig. 11, holding the two ends of the string or cord, which is now out from the spool. While the string or cord is held in this position the knotter r, by means of the pin q resting in the grooved cam q, is carried under the string, which drops into the spiral-shaped hooks r 1' as seen in Fig. 15. The cylinders r r, with their tapering segments and spiralshaped hooks, are then caused to revolve by means of the cam 0 on the third wheel, being connected therewith by the pivoted rod 0', having the pin 0 and being in turn connected to the segmental gear 8 by the rod 0 this segmental gear 8 intermeshing with the pinion r of the knotter r, and as the knotter revolves the string or cord is wound oncc around it, as seen in Fig. 16. The lower end of the pivoted lever is now brought in contact with the projection ton the third wheel of the main shaft, thus causing the spiral-shaped hooks r r to separate,
the nippers still holding the ends of the string or cord and drawing them between the hooks, where they are released from the nippers (see Fig. 17) and firmly held by the hooks, the pressure of the pivoted lever 16 having been released and the hooks brought together by the action of the spiral spring 1. The carriage qthen returns to its normal position, and when in that position a stationary point or scraper rests against the outer surface of the spiral-shaped hook r in a groove 0'. The segment, returning to its first position, causes the pinion r to revolve with its cylinders 'r r in the opposite direction, and the stationary point or scraper comlng in contact with the string or cord forces it over the ends of the hooks, immediately after which the hooks are slightly separated by the short projections 25, which releases the ends of the string, as seen in Fig. 18. The wedge k employed for opening the nippers 7c, is secured only at one end, the other end being free for the loop to be released as the book is shoved upon the carrier 1).
