SAMUEL C. VEIKE, OF AURORA, INDIANA.
MATCH-BUNCHING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 612,218, dated October 11, 1898.
Application filed September 2'7, 1897. Serial No. 653,242. (No model.)
To Ya/ZZ whomf zit/'may concern." v
Be itknown that I, SAMUEL CVEIKE, a citi zen of the United States, and a resident of Aurora, Dearborn county, State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Match- Bunching Machine; and I do declare the following to be a clear, full, and exact description of-the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, attention bein g called to the accompanying drawings, with the reference-numerals marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. l
This invention relates to improvements in match bunching machines, which are machines used in the manufacture of matches. Their particular function is to deliver the wooden sticks called splints in a manner that they are received between two bands or ribbons, which are then wound around a hub and coiled upon themselves with the splints between. The width of these bands is less than the length of the splints, so that the ends of these latter project beyond the bands and which ends are also all in a level plane, so that while so held in a bunch a large number of splints may at once be quickly and conveniently dipped for the purpose of providing them with igniting-heads. After the splints have become sufficiently dry the coils are unwound and the matches are released from the bands, which latter become then again available for reuse. reeled up and placed on the machine, after which their free ends are connected and started to receive again splints between them, as mentioned before.
The improvements relate tomeans and features of specific construction whereby many parts considered hitherto absolutely necessary in the construction and operation of such machines are entirely dispensed with, whereby their manufacture is greatly simplified and correspondingly reduced as to cost.
In the following specification and particularly pointed out in the claim is found a full description of the invention, its operation, parts, and construction, which latter is also illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view of the machine with For such purpose they are parts inv operation. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. is an enlarged longitudinal section of the central portion of the machine. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3.
9 is the hopper, which receives the splints lO.
1l are the delivery-wheels, mounted side by side upon a shaft l2 with a space between and l grooved on their faces, which grooves are opposite and in line with each other, as shown. They receive rotation from a gear-wheel 13, driven by a pinion 14 on driving-shaft l5, which receives power from a pulley 17. These wheels are further so located as to rotate partly through and within a part of the lower part of hopper 9, forming to that particular extent a part of the bottom for closure of the latter and against the grooved faces of which the splints are lying. These grooves are of a depth which retains a splint when once received, so that as the wheels pass through the hopper they readily receive and advance the lowermost splints which rest against them. The splints so caught by the grooves of the delivery-wheels are now carried beyond the contines. of the hopper, a pair of rollers 1S holding back such which are not resting in grooves. Of the two bands between which they are received one band, 19, is of considerable thickness to give to the coiled bunch when completed suflicient rigidity to permit handling without collapse. The other, 2l, is merely a tape, being thinner and narrower and only required for the purpose of holding the splints to the band first mentioned. For use this latter is wound upon a hub 22, which is carried on a spindle 23, mounted in a bearing 24, formed on the machine-frame and provided with a suitable tension device 25 to prevent it from unwinding too freely or in advance of the action of the machine. The other is mounted on a similar hub 26 and in asimilar manner on a spindle 27, supported at the upper end of an arm 28, secured in any suitablemauner to the machine-frame.
The bunch is formed by winding band and tape, with the splints between, around a hub 29, supported upon a winding spindle 3l. Action for the latter is obtained by a sprocketwheel 32,connected by a chain 33 to a sprocketwheel 34, mounted on a shaft 35. This latter is driven by a cog-wheel 36, the proper speed IOO and direction of rotation for which are obtained by a gear-train 37, driven fromV cogwheel 13.
finding-spindle 3l is carried in a bearing 3S at the upper end of au arm 39, which is 43, whereby it is supported on shaft l2, which passes loosely through it. It is lthen extended downwardly and at connects to the machine-frame. It is preferable that this roller revolve at a peripherical speed equal to the loosely mounted on shaft 3o, so that as the bunch increases on hub 29 the latter may yield to give room for the accumulation. Sprocket-wheel 32 is mounted by frictional contact only, so that the speed of the winding-spindle may accommodate itself to the varying circumferential speed of the increasing bunch.
Fig. 3 shows the position of the parts at the beginning. The end of band 19 is brought around a roller 4l and connected to a loop 42, set into a cut-out in the peripherv of hub 29. The end of tape 2l is now brought dow-n, and as soonk as caught, between hub'29 and band 119 the4 machine is ready for operation. As will be seen, the grooves in the periphery of the delivery-Wheels bring the splintsl right intotheconverging space between tape and band and produced by theparticular location of roller 4l,vand as the. two. approach eachother theyta-ke the splints'oneafter the other out of the grooves and transfer them onto the bunch asit iis formedfby coiling tape and band around hub `29 a-nd-aroundeachother. When' band and tape-have been exhaustedy and the bunch is formed, the machine is stopped,` the endsof the former are secured. toprevent 11n-Winding, the. bunch is taken o, a-nd another band and tape'are, placed onspindles; 23'r and' 2T, respec.ti.vely,.after which the machine' is ready tofresume action.

speed ot the delivery-wheels at their periphery. This rotation is obtained bya cog-wheel 4G, mounted upon the roller-spindle 47 and driven by an internal gear 48, formed on the inside of the face of one of the deliverywheels.
49. is a guide around which tape 2l passes, so as to cause the same to maintain its proper angular position withr reference to the band.
As will be seen, there is a clear and open space between the delivery-wheels and below the hopper, permitting short sticks,splinters, sawdust, &c., to drop-through.
5l is. a support for arm 2S to rest against when the Winding-spindle is not in use.
f Having described my invention, I claim as new- In a match-bunching machine, the combination of a receiving and coilingV hub 29, two delivery-Wheels ll, a hopper 9 through the lower part of which they rotate, a guide-roller between them, a cog-wheel46' to rotate it, an internal gear 48 to drive cog-wheel 46, said gear being formed on the inside of the rim ofone'of the delivery-wheels-ll, anda coilingband which, guided byl the guide-roller is caused to operate in a manner and for the puri poser described.
