Be itknown that we, EMIL SALTZKORN and LUDWIG NICOLAI, subjects of the King of Saxony, residing at Dresden, Saxony, in the German Empire, have invented a certain new and Improved Machine for Riveting Cardboard, Leather, 850., (for which we have obtained Letters Patent as follows: in Germany, No. 70,554, dated February 14, 1893 in Great Britain, No. 3,418, dated February 15, 1893; in France, No. 228,063, dated February 20, 1893; in Belgium, No. 103,576, dated February 22, 1893, and in Austria-Hungary, No.'10,100
and No. 25,576, dated July 5, 1893,) of which the following is a specification.
--The object of this invention is to provide a machine by means of which a great variety of materials-such as cardboard, leather, fab-v ric, and the like-may be joined by metallic staples or rivets, the machine being so constructed as to manufacture the metallic staples or rivets and feed them to the riveting points as required The principal object of the invention is to devise a machine which may be utilized in the manufacture of cardboard boxes for joining together the meeting edges of the sides or walls of such boxes, although it may be used for various other purposes as wellsuch, for example, as the securing together of a number of sheets of paper, cardboard, or other material, or for joining together the edges or surfaces of plates, sheets, washers, bands, or
' other articles made ofsheet material of any kind.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine constructed in.
accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view on the line a a, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an end elevation looking in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 1, the base of the machine being omitted. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line b b, Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a sectional plan view illustrating, on an enlarged scale, the staple carrying and forming disk in the position shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line 0 c, Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a partial transverse sectional elevation on the line (1 d, Fig. 7, illustrating a detail of construction. Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation on the line 6 6, Fig. 6, showing one of the staple or rivet dies. Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 13 are views illustrating in similar manner the different positions assumed by the dieblock at different stages of its travel. Fig... 14 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line ff, Fig. 2, illustrating, on an enlarged scale, the construction of the feeding-rollers. Fig. 15. is an enlarged sectional elevation. on the line g g, Fig. 1. vation on the line h h, Fig. 15. Fig. 17 is a plan view of the parts illustrated in Fig. 16. Fig. 18 is a sectional elevation on the line 'ii, Fig. 1. Figs. 19 and 19 show one of the staples or rivets before and after being bent up into form. Figs. 20 and 20 are similar views of another form of rivet; and Figs. 21 and 22 represent the manner in which such rivets or staples are applied at the corners of a'box, either directly at the angle formed by the junctionof two walls or on thetwo adjoining sides or walls.
The operating'parts of the machine are supported upon a suitable framework 1 2, the portion 1 being provided with a series of bearings in which are supported two shafts 3 4, having their axes coincident and theirabutting ends being provided,respectively, with clutching or coupling disks 12 and 11, which may be thrown into or out of contact, as dejecting tongue 11*, extending beyond the periphery of the disk, and is compelled torotate with the same by pins 11, projecting from the face of the disk. The disk 12 has pins 12, which engage with the ring 11 when the latter is moved toward said disk bythe action of the spring 11 in the disk-11.
The clutching of the disks is governed by a pedal 13,.fulcrumed to the frame and normally held up, with the disks separated, by a tension-spring 13. At. a point on the framework to'one side of the disks is a bracket 114, inthe upper portion of'which is formed a bearing for a shaft 115. On one end of this shaft is an arm 116, having its outer end connected by a rod 14 to the pedal, and on the opposite end of said shaft is an arm 117, having'on one Fig. 16 is a sectionalele' on da recess 118, adapted to receive the projectingtongue 11 as shown in Fig. 17. The side of the recess 1'18 nearest the disk 12 has an inclined face 119, which may act as a wedge to force the tongue 11 to the inoperative position shown.
In the operation of the machine the depression of the pedal 13 will cause the raising of the arm 117 and leave the tongue 11 free, so that the ring 11 may, under the action of the springs 11, be moved into contact with the pins 12 of the disk, and so turn the shaft 4 and effect the movement of the operating parts of the machine.
- To disconnect the shaft it is merely necessary to remove the pressure on the pedal, when the spring 13 will move it to the position shown in Fig. 1, and the arm 117 will then fall with its. inclined face 119.directly in the path of the tongue 11", and as the disk 11 rotates said tongue will engage on the inclined face and will be directed into the recess 118, in
' which position the ring 11 will be out of engagement with the pins 12.
The necessary driving motion is imparted to a belt-wheel 5, mounted loosely upon the shaft 3 and provided with a pin 6, projecting laterally from the face of the wheel and adapted to engage apawl 8, fulcrumed at 9 to a projecting lug formed integral with a sleeve or hub 10, rigidly secured to the shaft 3. The pawl 8 is movable in one direction only and is normally held up in such position as to be engaged by the pin 6 by a spring 7, and when the belt-Wheel is rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow, Fig. 1, the contact of the pin 6 with the pawl will effect a corresponding rotative movement of the shaft 3. If by accident the belt-wheel 5 be rotated in the opposite direction injury to the operating mechanism is avoided, as the pin 6 will insuch event depress the pawl 8 against the action of the spring 7 without rotating the shaft 3. p
In suitable bearings at the front of the machine is mounted a shaft 49, carrying at its lower end a disk 50, in which are a number of dies 61four in the present instance-each of precisely the same construction and each removable, so that dies of different shape or size may be substituted for the manufacture,
of different staples or rivets.
Each die 61 comprises a substantially rectangular block having acentral staple-receiving chamber extending entirely through the block, and in which the staples or rivets are bent into form and retained in position until the die has been traveled to the point where the staple is to be driven into the material being acted upon. Projecting latterly from the opposite sides of each block 61 are pivotpins 65,-ad'apted one to a suitable opening formed in the body offthe disk and the other in a removable plate 50*, secured to the periphery of the disk in such manner that it may be readily removed when access is to be had to the die-block, or' the latter is to be repaired or replaced by one of difiierent size or shape. On one of the pivot-pins of each block is secured a gear or friction wheel 62, the teeth of which project somewhat above the bottom of a groove 66, formed in andconcensite sides of each die-block 61 and serving to' normally retain the latter in proper position. On the hub of the disk 50 isloosely mounted a collar forming part of a die-carriage 54, and
held in position by suitable nuts in such manner as not to interfere with the movement of the carriage during its travel. In the carriage is secured a die-block 154, of any suitable size, and having formed therein a female blank-forming die of a contour corresponding to the shape of the staple or rivet being manufactured, and the male cutting-die being of corresponding shape and operated at predetermined intervals to cut from a strip of metal blanks for the manufacture of the various staples or rivets as they are used by the machine.
The bottom of the female die is formed by a plate 175, which may be integral with the carriage 5%, or separate, as shown. This plate 175 has an opening 176 of the same diameter as the openings in the die-blocks 61, and the staple-blank contained in the female die is forced through such opening by the'formingdie and is received by the die-blocks 61, each block receiving one staple in its proper turn. At one side of the carriage 54: is hinged a plate 57, having one of its edges curved in hook-like form and adapted to engage successively in radially-arranged slots or grooves 59 in the upper surface of the disk 50, so that as the latter is rotated it will carry with it the carriage 5t until such time as the hooklike plate is disengaged from the slot 59. The
plate is normally held down in engagement with the radial slot by a spring 177.
The staple-carrying disk 50 receives a stepby-step movement through the medium of beveled gears'5l and 52, Figs. 1 and 5, the gear 51 being secured to the upper end of the shaft 49, and having eight teeth or grooves, with which engage alternately two teeth provided at diametrically-opposite points on the wheel 52, the latter being secured to and revolving with the shaft 4, so that four complete rotations of the shaft 1 are necessary to effect one complete rotation of the disk 50. During the intervals between the successive partial rotations of the disk 50 the latter is locked in position by means of a lever 60, fulcrumed at 160 to a fixed pin on a bracket 161,
, The operation of this portion of the mechanism is as follows: 'With the parts in the position illustrated in Figs.-1 and 6 the blank cutting-die 42 will first descend and cut from a sheet or strip of metal a rivet or staple blank of a character dependent upon the contour of the female die 154 in the carriage 54, forcing the blank down into contact with the plate 175, and with the blank still in position in the female die the disk 50 will be rotated oneeighth of a revolution by the engagement at the proper point of the wheels 51 and 52. The
hook-like plate 57 of the carriage 54 is at this time in engagement with one of the radial slots or grooves 59 in the disk 50 and is carried with the disk as the latter rotates, the eighth part of a revolution being sufficient to move the female die 154 of the carriage 54 and one of the die-blocks 61 immediately beneath the forming-die 45; On the descent of the forming-die 45the blank is forced from the female die 154 into the opening in one ofthe blocks 61, the pointed ends of the staple or rivet being bent upwardly, Fig. 10,,and the central die-chamber, as shown. During this movement the disk has been locked in position by the engagement of the arm 162 of the le ver with one of the eight peripheral notches 163 of the disk. v\Vhen, however, the wheels 51 and 52 are again engaged and the disk started on a further movement the lockingarm 162 of the lever 60 will be forced out of the notch, causing its opposite arm to move toward the carriage 54, and the inclined face of this arm of the lever engaging with the hook-like edge of the plate 57 will lift the latter outof engagement with the slot or groove 59 against the action of the plate-spring 177, which normally holds the plate in engagement with the slot. The carriage is then free to move back to itsinitial position for the reception of another rivet or staple blank, and this movement is accomplished by means of a, cam 15, to which is adapted an antifriction-roller 18, held on one end of a bell-crank lever 17,. .the opposite end of which is connected by a flexible cord or chain 19 to the carriage 54,
the cam 15 being so timed as to effect the withdrawal of the carriage immediately after the hooked edge of the plate 57 has been disengaged from the slot 59.
I The shaft4 is provided with a series of grooved cams 40,43, and 46, the cam 40 acting through an antifriction-roller 41 to effect the movementof the blank-cutting die 42, and the cam 43 acting through 'an antifriction-roller 44 to effect the movement of the staple-formin g die-45. The cam 46 is located near the end of the shaft 4 and acts through an antifrictionroller 47 to efiect the vertical movement of the ejector or driving-in stamp 48, the latter acting simultaneously with the blank-cutting die 42and serving to force the formed rivet or staple fromits position in the chamber of the die-block 61 into the material to'be acted upon,
the die-block 61 having previously rotated to the'extent of half a revolution by the engagement of its pinion 62 with the fixed rack-teeth of the block 63,Fig.1 1, so that whenit reachesthe ejector 48 the rivet or staple will haveassumed a position (shown in Fig. 12) with its a pointed ends extending in a downward direction. ,After the rivet or staple has been ejected the continued rotative movement of the disk 50 will bring the (lie-block under the block 64, and the fixed rack-teeth of the latter, Fig. 13, engaging the teeth of the pinion 62, will rotate the die-block until it assumes its initial position and is again ready to receive a second rivet or staple; or, if necessary, this further half rotation of the.die block may be omitted, as both sides of the die-block may be made of preciselythe same construction, so that a rivet. or staple may bedriven into its receiving-chamber from eitheriend.
Immediately below the disk 50 is a worka table 25, preferably detachable from the machine, so that thev tables of different size and shape may be substituted for different classes of work. This table is provided on a line co incident with the center of the ejector48 with a vertical rec,ess,in which is guided an anvil 26, the lower or foot portion of which is supported on a block 124, having an upper inclined face and forming part of or connected to a rod 24, one end of which is connected toa lever 23, fulcrumed at 22 to the frame and at its upper end'being provided with an antifriction-roller 21, adapted to a peripheral cam or groove in a cam 20, secured to the shaft 4, the I cam being so timed that as theejector descends the block 124 will be drawn backward and itsv upper inclined face will raise the anvil 26 and aid the ejector in bending down the pointed-ends of the staple or rivet.
The rivets or staples are formed from a strip of suitable metal, which is fed in under the blank-cuttingdie 42 by two feed-rolls 134 135, mounted on shafts 34,35, adapted to suitable bearings in a frame 136, supported by a bracket 137, the bearings of the upper shaft 35 being formed by the blocks 138,'adapted to guideways 139, and adjustable by means of screws 38 toward and from' the lower roll. The shafts 34 and 35 are provided with intermeshing gear-wheels 36, so that both will ro-.
tate and positively feed the -strip,and after each operation of the, blank-cutting die ,42 these rolls rotate asufficient distance to feed the strip to'an extent necessary for the manufacture of a single rivet or-stapleblank.
Motion is imparted to the shaft 34 by a cam Ico 27, through the medium of a lever 29, fulcrumed at 28 to a bracket on a frame and provided with an antifriction -roller 129, adapted to the cam-groove, the opposite end of the lever being connected by a rod 30 to a lever 81, which latter has a loose sleeve 139 surrounding the shaft 84: and carries a pawl 32,adapted to engage the teeth of the ratchetwheel 135, secured to such shaft, so that the .movements of the lever will act through the pawl and ratchet-wheel to rotate the shaft and pull the punched strip away from the blank-cutting die, a single rotation of the shaft 4 being sufficient to manufacture a single staple or rivet and asingle rotation of the cam being sufficient to feed the strip a sufficient distance to bring a fresh portion of the strip beneath the blank-cutting die.
It is considered of course that certain unimportant changes may be made in the details of the machine herein described. Thus, for instance, another form of coupling may be used in place of the disk 11 and 12 described, or the number of cams may be lesscried and their Work accomplished by the remainder, or the apparatus, to guard against the reversal of direction of rotation of the apparatus, may be changed or even omitted altogether without departing from the spirit of our invention.
