MAoHINE FOR o'R AMsNr NaTueULAn RECEPTACLESQ srnorrrca'rron forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,678, dated March 24,1891;
Application filed June 19,1890. Serial No. 355,984. (No model.) i i To allrah/m it may c on cernh Be it known that W6,-LUCIUS T. SHEFFIELD and THOMAS M. SINCLAIR, of the city, county,
and State of New York, and Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, respectively, have invented a eertain new and useful Improvement in Machinesfor .Ornamenting Tubular Receptacles, of-which the following is a specification.
' 2. Fig. s a rear endview. Fig. 5 is afront forms in the form of threaded rotary shafts ployed.
This invention relates more particularly to devices for forming ornamentation-or letter ing on tubes of yielding/ material, such as block tin, paper, or analogous substances. v In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a topor plan View of 'a' machine embodying the improvement. Fig. 2' is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a side elevation opposite that of Fig.
end View. Fig. 6 is a'transverse section. at one side of the tube-support. Fig. '7 is a detail showing the formers; and Fig. 8 is a sectionalview of certainclutch mechanism em- Beferring by letter to the drawings, A designates the base, from which areextended four posts A, serving as supports for guideframes A Theguide-frames'are shownas adjustable lengthwise of the posts A, and asa means therefor the said posts are threaded, and jam-nuts a are provided on the posts at each side of the. frames A It is evident from this construction that both of the frames A may be adjusted or that one may remain sta tionary and-the other adjusted relatively to it, as occasion may require.
B B' designate movable forms the inner faces of which may have suitable ornamentation'or characters. to be transferred to a'tube mounted on a rotary support 13 by embossing or printing. When ornamentation is transferred from the forms by ink-impres: sions, the forms maybe inked in'any suitable manner+such, for instance, as from a brush or pad held in the hand. Forconveniencein placing the forms in position the said forms are made in longitudinal sections 1) 6 secured together by means of bolts b and these forms are provided with extensions to engage over the ways 5 of the guide-frames A G O designate carriers for the movable gether and rotate the carriers in opposite directions, so that the forms are moved in. re-. verse directions.
it will be observed that. in this example of the improvement the wheels 0 0 correspond in size, so that the carriers are rotated at a uniform speed. One-of thec'arrier-shafts, in
-this instance the carrier-shaft C is provided on its rear end with a bevel-gear D, engaging 7 with gearingon the driving-shaft D, which is provided witha power-wheel D E E designate bevel-gears on the shaft D, 7o
meshing with the bevel-gear D at opposite sides thereof. The gears E E are loosely I mounted on the shaft D; but as the said gearwheels are intended to alternatelyrotate with the shaft a shifting cluteh mechanism E is employed. The clutch mechanism 0 consists in this instance 'of a sleeve rotating with the shaft D, but having a movement lengthwise of the shaft.- Fig. 8' shows the shaft D 'ashaving a longitudinal'channel d, into which a key on spline d from the clutch E extends. The clutch E is somewhatshorter than the distance between the two gears E E,
and it is shown ashaving conical or convexed ends e, adapted to enter concavities e in the 8 5 gears E, and to have 'a frictional bearing against'the inclined walls of theconcavities. By this means one of the gears E may be rotated 'w'ith the shaft D to rotate the carriers 0 -C in one direction, and by shifting the 0 clutch-sleeve to engage frictionally with the other gear E the carriers may be rotated in the reverse direction, and thusreciprocate the forms B B; A shifting lever E is fulcrumed to astandard E and engages at itsbifurcated end in an annular groove e in the -clutchsleeve E. Thisshifting lever may be' oper- I 'ated by hand or otherwise. The tube-'support 13 extends transversely to the movement of the forms, and has a journalb at one end Ioo mounted in a journal-box I)? ma pillar ex-: tending from the base A, and the supporthas It will be-seen thatthe car- 60 rier-threads are out in the same direction,- and 2 meme afiixed to it adjacent to the journal-bearing a gear-wheel b engaging with racks on lat-' eral extensions from the movable forms B B. It is obvious from this construction that a 5 rotary motion is imparted to the support B from the forms. It is also obvious that the same result would obtain by omitting the rack from one of the forms.
In operation the tube is placed upon the support. This may bedone when the machine is in motion, and the forms impress or imprint the design upon the tube. By employingtwo forms intricate designs may be transferred to the tube either by embossing i1 5 or printing with different-colored inks. Having described the invention, what I claim is-- 1. In a machine for ornamenting tubes, the combination, with driving mechanism, of a reciprocating form and a support for a tube rotated by the movement of the form, substantially as specified.
2. In a machine for ornamenting tubes, the combination, with driving mechanism, of reciprocating forms moving in opposite directions and a support for a tube rotated from and during the movement of said forms, substantially as specified.
3. In a machine for ornamenting tubes, the
combination, with driving-gear having shifting mechanism, of forms deriving reciprocating motion from the driving-gear and a rotary support deriving motion from the reciprocating forms, substantially as specified. 4
4. The combination, with the rotary support for a tube,"of the vertically-adjustable forms and mechanism for imparting a reciprocating movement to said forms, substantially as specified.
5. The combination of the rotary carriers, reciprocating forms moved by said carriers,
adjustable on said posts, reciprocating forms moving in said guide-frames, mechanism, substantially such as described, for imparting motion to the forms, and a support for atube extending transversely to the movement of the forms and rotated by said forms,substantially as specified.
8. In a machine for ornamentingtubes, the combination, with reciprocating forms and a rotary support for a tube, of the threaded shafts geared together, a bevel-gear on one of said shafts, a driving-shaft, bevel-gears loosely mounted on said driving-shaft and meshing with the first-named bevel-gear, and a clutch-sleeve rotating with the drivingshaft, but movable lengthwise thereon to alternately engage with the bevel-gears on said shaft, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this Specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
