PRINTING-PRESS ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,124, dated December 31, 1901.

Application filed July 20, 1901. Serial No. 69,079. (NO model-3 T (0% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK C. STOCKHOLM,a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia j in the county of Philadelphia and 5 State of Pennsylvania, have'invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printing- Press Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to mechanism for sealing together adjacent sheets of newspapers, whereby when opened for reading the papers are so marked or mutilated as to be readily detected should their return to the publisher as unsold copies be attempted.

The invention has particular reference to certain improvements on the mechanisms shown in the patents granted to L. L. Carson June 13, 1899, No. 626,965, and January 8,

1901, Reissue No. 11,881.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved paste-receptacle and paste-delivering mechanism which are readily removable for the cleaning necessary at the end of each run of the press.

A further object is to provide improved means for coupling the removable paste-delivering mechanism with a rotating element of the press, whereby the former is actuated.

0 In this improvement, as in the patents before referred to, the sealing mechanism is mounted on a printing-press and is designed to operate on the webs while passing therethrough.

5 The invention consists in the novel features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation of mechanism embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Figs. 4, 5, and G are detail views of the paste-font. Fig. 7 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View of the font andpasting mechanism. Figs. 8, 9, 10, and 11 are detail views of font-supporting members of the frame.

The mechanism may be mounted on a press at any convenient point between the cylinders and folder and in such position as to operate on the paper before the webs thereof have been superposed one upon the other. The mechanism is capable of being shifted transversely of the press, so as to operate on the web at any desired point in the width thereof, whether at one edge or the other or between the edges, according as it may be desired to locate the sealing-points.

Referring more particularly to the present to embodiment of my invention, the only portions of the press which I have illustrated are the two opposite sidebars 2 of the press-frame, to which are secured the

opposite frame portions

3 and 4, carrying my improved mechanism. 'Traversing the press and journaled in frames 3 and 4: are the parallel shafts 5 and 6 and adjacent the same the parallel supporting-bar 7. Shafts 5 and 6 are connected at one end by gears 5 6, and meshing with gear 6 is gear 8 on short shaft 8. This shaft is journaled in frame 3 and carries gear 9,which meshes with a gear or pinion (not shown) carried by a rotating member of the press,whereby rotary motion is imparted to shafts 5 and 6.

A paste-applying roll 10 is secured to and longitudinally adjustable on shaft 6 and 00- operates with a similarly-adjustable rubberbound roll 11 on shaft 5. The peripheries of rolls 10 and 11 are sufficiently separated to pass web 12, upon which they operate in applying the seal, as will be understood. Roll 10 is provided with a peripheral projection 13 for applying paste to the under side of web 12 at each revolution of said roll. The means for supplying paste to projection 13 will be presently explained.

Depending from and supported by shaft 6 and bar 7 are the frame members 14: and 15, the same being formed at their upper ends 0 with sockets to embrace the shaft and bar and be adjustable thereon, as shown. Said The lower extremity of frame member 15 is formed with two lateral extensions 18, disposed toward support 17 and preferabl in the plane thereof.

Removably positioned between

frame members

14 and 15 is the paste font or receptacle 19, having on its under side the depending foot 20, which rests on support -17, and the slotted bottom projections 21, which bear on the lateral frame extensions 18. Said frame extensions are provided with Vertical clamping-bolts 22, which are embraced by and secure the slotted font projections21. With the latter slotted, after the clamping-bolt nuts are slackened the font may be readily slipped laterallyfrom between

frame members

14 and 15 and entirelyremoved from the press.
