UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE V GEORGE B. DUNBAR, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
CAN-LABELIN G MACHIN E.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 548,703, dated October 29, 1895.
Application filed March 4,1895. Serial No. 540,474. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. 'DUNBAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gan-Labeling Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention consists in the construction of a can-labeling machine comprising an inclined runway made in two parts hinged together, one section having a gum ming-pad and the other adapted to receive the labels which will adhere to the gummed can as it passes over.
The invention further consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the various parts, all as more fully hereinafter described.
In the drawings, Figure l is a Vertical 1on gitudinal section of my device as in. use. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line to as. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my device folded up as when not in use; and Fig. t is a detached perspective view of a portion of the runway, showing the cans thereon.
A are two side plates, between which is the inclined bottom board B, extending from the bottom at one end to nearthe top at the other end, as shown in Fig. 1. These sides extend above the bottom to form substantially a trough-shaped runway.
O is a bottom board similar to B, having side flanges D, which have the end extensions E, which are pivoted to the upper end'of the sides A. These two sections may be turned one upon the other to form substantially a rectangular box, as shown in Fig 3, for convenience in carrying it about. In this position the free ends of the two sections are secured together by the hooks Gr.
When extended for use, the lower section rests upon the sides A, while the upper section is supported on the leg or frame H, hinged to the bottom thereof. By arranging this leg at difierent angles to the upper section the inclination of this section may be varied as desired.
On the face of both bottom boards I secure a suitable textile or porous facing I, prefer ably of felt. Y
Jare transverse guides-countersunk in the upperface of the bottom board of both sections, and in which the heads of the clamping-bolts K engage. L are winged nuts, by means of which the bolts may be held in any adjusted position. These bolts pass through one flange of angle-iron bars M, the vertical flange of which when arranged parallel with the side of the runway forms an adjustable gage or guide for the cans. The trough or runway can be adjusted to any desired width to provide for cans of different lengths.
Between the ends of the two sections of the runway is an aperture or crack N, below which isthe drip-pan O, slidingly engaging in guides P on the inner faces of the sides A, as shown in Fig. 1.
The parts being thus constructed the runway-sections arranged in line, as shown in Fig. l, the guide M being adjusted to the desired point, the operator covers the felt in the upper runway-section with liquid paste and places alabel at the top of the lower runwaysection, as shown in Fig. 4. The cans are then allowed to roll from any desired receptacle into the upper end of the upper section, down which they will roll, covering their faces with paste. Thence the can rolls onto the lower section where it will pick up the label, which will be rolled or pasted on as the can rolls down the runway, at the same time cleaning the can of any surplus paste which may be exposed on portions of the can not covered by the label.
When the lot of cans islabeled, the felt can be cleansed and the device folded up, carried to any other part of the factory, and again put in use.
Any excess of paste on the pasting-section will drip through the aperture N into the pan 0, and thus will not reach the labelsection.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a can labeling machine, the comblna tion of a runway formed in two independent inclined sections arranged to be folded one upon the other andseparated byaslot,a pasting pad or cover on the upper section, and a pador cover on the lower section on which thefsurplus paste may be cleaned from the cans as they roll down the runway, substantially as described.
2. In a can labeling machine, the combination of a runway formed in two inclined sections separated at their meeting ends, sides on one section extending to and overlapping the sides of the other section and pivoted thereto, a pasting pad or cover on the upper section, a cleaning pad or cover on the lower section, and transversely adjustable guide flanges or rails on both sections, substantially as described.
3. In a can labeling machine, the combina tion of a runway formed of two inclined sections separated at their meeting ends, and hinged together, adapted to be folded together, or to be arranged in line, the leg or frame hinged to the upper section and the transversely adjustable guide flanges on both sections,in line, substantially as described.
4. In a can labeling machine, the combina- In testimony whereof I affix my signature 0 in presence of two witnesses.
