PAPER TURNING-IN AND PASTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. ma dated October 13, 1903.

7 Application filed August 21, 1902. Serial No: 120,587. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES F. ROOT and BYRON O. CONN,citizens of the United States, residing at Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Automatic Paper-Pasting Machine, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a paper turning-in and pasting machine which is especially adapted to be used in the manufacture of paper boxes. It is well known to those skilled in the art that in the manufacture of such boxes the exterior of the strawboard which" constitutes the body portion of the box is covered with paper or other suitable material for the purpose of giving the box a neat and attractive appearance, as well as affording additional strength and rigidity' thereto. In covering the box the paper or other covering material is pasted to the exterior thereof, leaving a projecting margin or overplus of the covering material extending beyond the up per edges of'the box and the lower edges of the cover.

The principal objects of our invention, therefore, are to provide a machine which will automatically perform the. operation of bending over and pasting the overplus or margin of the covering material to the interior surface of the box; secondly, to reduce the cost of manufacturing such boxes, and, thirdly, to insure uniform and perfect work. To this end we accomplish such objects by means of an automatically-operating and adjustable mechanism more fully described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete machine. Fig. 2 'is a view in vertical cross'section of Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the bed-plate and carriage, showing the method of operating the clutch mechanism, portions being removed to better disclose the operat-' ing mechanism. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the carriage, showing the adjustable clamps for retaining the box in position. Fig. 5 is a view in vertical cross-section'of the carriage, taken on line x a: of Fig. 4:. Fig. 6 is an end view of the carriage-base, disclosing the journaled trip-shaft. Fig. 7 is a view in vertical the line 0 0 of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 shows a detailed side and end view of one of the folding-fin gers, disclosing the spring-pressed pin. Fig. 9 is a view in front elevation of the tilting bar and fingers. Fig. 10 is a view in side elesupport, the tilting bar, and the finger. I Fig. 11 is a detailed perspective view of one of the adjustable box-clamps, and Fig. 12 is a detailed perspective view of the trip bolt and plate.

' The bed-plate or table 1 is supported by legs or standards 2 and constitutes the body portion of the machine. The center of the tending slot or way 3. The one shown is V- shaped; but any other suitable conformation may be used.

Received within the slot 3 and adapted to reciprocate therein is a carriage comprising a base portion 4, conforming to the shape of the slot or way 3. This base portion has a fiat top 41 and is provid'ed'with a longitudinally-extending opening or groove in its lower portion, across which opening and jonrnaled in the walls thereof is a trip-shaft 8. This shaft is provided with pairs of oppositely-extending pins 7 7, projecting radially from the periphery of the shaft 8. A stud 17, located equidistant between the pairs of pins 7 7, is secured to and projects outwardly from the shaft 8, and to the outer end of this stud is secured a spring 18, the opposite end of the spring being secured to the base portion of the carriage. This arrangement serves to normally retain the pins 7 7 in vertical position.

Located centrally of and projecting vertically upward from the top 41 of the carriagebase 4 is a cylindrical shaft 40, and received upon this shaft is the carriage proper, comprising a hollow sleeve 12, surrounding the shaft 40 and the oppositely-extending slotted from the sleeve 12; The outer ends of these vation, partly in section, of the tilting-bar arms 11 11, secured to and extending radially cross-section of the carriage-base, taken on table is provided with'a longitudinally-exbody portion 14, provided with slots for the reception of the slotted arms 11 11 and also provided with a threaded aperture 14". The body portion is provided with lateral extensions having L-shaped upwardly-extending gripping-arms 14 14 formed thereon to engage the side of the box to be covered. Each of the four radially-extending slotted arms carries one of these box-clamps. Suitablysupported differentially-threaded adjustingscrews 15 15 are received in the screw-threaded apertures 14 14 of the box-clamps, one screw engaging the apertures of two opposite clamps, the right and left screw-threads on the screws permitting the simultaneous adjustment of each pair of box-clamps toward and from each other, the box-clamps being equidistant from the center of the carriage proper. A spring 59, suitably secured to brackets59' 59, secured to the base portion of the carriage, is adapted to have frictional contact with the exterior of the sleeve 12 to regulate and prevent a too free rotation.

Four equidistant rods42 42 project radially from the sleeve 12 of the carriage, and located within the arc of movement of the rods is an L-shaped post 43, extending upward from the bed-plate 1, upon the laterally-projecting portion of which post is journaled a tapering wedge'shaped plate 44, with which plate the rods 42 42 are adapted to contact in their forward travel-that is, toward the left of the drawing Fig. 1.

Located at either end of the slot or way 3 is a post 10, adapted to enter the slots in the divided arms 11 11 and engage the box-clamps 14 14 to serve as a stop for the carriage and also to guide and retain the carriage in direct alinement. I

The movement of the carriage is caused by a sprocket-chain 6 passing over sprocketwheels 39 39, keyed upon shafts 39' 39, journaled at each end of the body portion of the machine beneath the bed-plate 1. This chain passes above and below the trip-shaft 8 between the pins 7 7 7 7, and carried by one of the links is a laterally-extending trip-pin 5. This pin is adapted to engage the verticallyextending pairs of pins 7 7, the tension of the spring 18 being such as to prevent the rotary movement of the trip-shaft 8 until the post 10 engages one of the box-clamps 14. Hence the carriage will travel in the way 3 until such engagement occurs, whereupon spring will yield, permitting the shaft 8 to partially rotate and allowing the pin 5 to pass over the ends of the pins 7 7. The shaft Sis then returned to its normal position by means of the spring 18. The carriage of course remains at the end of the way or at its'adjnsted limit of movement, which limit is controlled by means of the adjusting-screws 15 15, which regulate the distance of the box-clamps 14 14 from the center of the carriage, according to the size of the box which is to be held by the clamps.

Projecting above and below the bed-plate the 1 at each end thereof are a pair of supporting-shafts 52 52, the inner sides of which are provided with rack-teeth 53 53, adapted to,

mesh with and bear against gear-wheels 54 54, keyed upon shafts 51 51, journaled in the supports of the bed-plate. The engagement of the rack-teeth with the gear-wheels serves to retain the supporting-shafts in vertical position and aids in the adjustment thereof, set-screws 55 55 being located in the bedplate 1 and adapted to engage the shafts 52 52 to retain them in their adjusted positions. Idle rollers 50 50 are loosely journaled on the shafts 51 51 and bear against the lower portion of the sprocket-chain 6 to maintain it at a uniform tension and at a uniform distance from the upper portion. A supporting-bar 26 is secured to and supported by the ends of each pair of supporting-shafts in any suitable manner, the upper face of the bars 26 26 being rearwardly inclined, and downwardly projecting ears 25 25 are secured to the lower surface of the bars 26 26. The front faces of these bars 26 26 are provided with grooves 16 16 for the reception of the projecting ends 14" 14 of the box-clamps 14 14 in order that the box carried thereby may be brought against the faces of the bars 26 26, so that such faces will provide a rigid platen against which the edge of the box is pressed when the fingers are forced against the interior thereof during the folding and pasting of the surplus margin. Tilting bars 29 29 are connected to the bars 26 26 by means of hinges 3O 30, and projecting upwardly from each bar 29 are a pair of cars 28 28. Each bar 29 supports a plurality of folding-fingers 31 31 of substantially right-angular shape in cross-section, the tilting bar received in the recess of the fingers formed by such conformation. bearing-surface of the body portion of each finger is provided with a recess for the reception of pins 37, behind which are located springs 38 for forcing the pins outward. These pins bear upon the upper face of the tilting bars 29, which bars may have slight depressions, as 37 37, for the reception of the outer ends of the pins 37 37. The upper faces of the fingers 31 31 are provided with notched recesses 34 34, and standards 35 35, secured to the supporting bars 26 26,are adapted to carry retaining-bars 33 33, the lower edges of which are received in the notches 34 34 to retain the fingers in position upon the tilting bar. The fingers maybe moved laterally of the tilting bar beneath the retaining-bar to conform to the Width of the box being covered and permit the edges of the box to pass between adjacent fingers. The rearward inclination of the upper face of each tilting-bar support 26 26 natn rally operates to throw the tilting bars and the fingers carried thereby at an angle to the bedplate 1. The folding-faces 57 of the fingers are thus located at a slight angle to the bedplate 1 and to the box supported in the carriage, which inclination permits the edge of The the box to pass thereunder and bends the surplus margin of the covering material in to a position at right angles to the side of the box preparatory to folding it downward and pasting it to the interior surface of the box.

' Each pair of supporting-legs 2 2 of the bed-plate or table is connected by means of brackets or bars 58 58, and passing through an opening in each bracket or bar is a post 22, to the upper end of which is pivotally secured a bell-crank lever 24, one end of which lever is pivotally connected to the ears of the tilting-bar support 26, the other end of the bell-crank lever being pivotally connected to the ears 28 on the tilting bar by means of a link 27. An adjustable collar 23 is carried by one of said posts 22, and a support 20, also carried by'the bracket or bar 58, bears at its upper end a pivotal double yoke 19, one end 21 of which embraces the post 22 beneath the adjustable collar 23. The opposite post 22 g is similar in every respect to post 22, with the exception that it carries a combined collar and yoke 23', adjustably secured thereto by means of a set-screw.

One of the shafts 39, to which are keyed the sprocket-wheels 39 39, projects outward from the machine and has loosely secured thereon a drive wheel or clutch pulley 60, provided with any suitable clutch mechanism 49. A lever 47 is pivotally supported on the bed-plate, one end of the lever being connected to the clutch mechanism 49. Secured to the free end of the lever is a plate-spring 46, with the inner end of which one of the pins 45, carried by the projecting slotted arms 11 11, is adapted to contact as the carriage completes half a revolution upon the shaft 40, whereby to move the lever 47 and disengage the clutch from the drive-wheel 60. Notches -61 are provided to receive the edges of the clamps when the machine is used in pasting shallow boxes or covers.

The operation of our machine may be gathered from the foregoing; but a brief description is here given. The box being covered is secured in the box-clamps 14 14, which are adjusted by means'of the screws 15 15. The machine is then started by moving the pivoted lever 4'7 in such manner as to throw the sults in the movement of the carriage as before described. When the pin 5 slides out of engagement with pins 7 7, it is carried along and brought into contact with the free end of the double yoke 19, rocking it upon its pivotal post 20 and causing the end 21 to engage the collar 23 on post 22 This operates to raise'the post 22, which by means of its bell-crank and link connection with the tilting bar 29 swings such bar on its hinges 30 30 into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 The supporting-shafts 52 52.having been adjusted to a suitable height relative to the box carried between the clamps 14 14 and the carriage having been arrested by the stop pins or studs 10 in the proper adjusted position, so that the upper outer edge of the box contacts with the side face of supporting-bar26, such a swinging movement of the tilting bar will cause the foldingfaces 57 of the fingers to fold and press the pasted surface of the margin against the interior of the box, to which it adheres. When the free end of the yoke 19 has been sufficiently depressed by the pin 5, the latter slips by it and the weight of the tilting bar 29 and the fingers operates to swing the bar back to its normal position on the supporting-bar 26,

the inclination of the bar 26, combined with the position of the tilting bar, facilitating such movement. The pin 5 on its return travel now engages the lower projecting pins 7 7 on the bar 8, and thus moves the carriage toward the opposite end of the slot or way 3. In the rearward movements of the carriage (toward the right of the drawing) the projecting rods 42 engage the tapered portion of the pivoted plate 44on post 43 and raise it slightly, the movementpermitting the passage of therod 42 beneath the plate; but upon the forward travel of the carriage one of the rods 42 contacts with the pivoted plate and is held there against until the carriage has made a quarterturn on the stud 40. The pin 5 is disengaged from the pins 7 7, as hereinabove stated, and passes into engagement with the combined collar and yoke 23' on post 22', which is raised thereby and causes the fingers 31 31 to fold the margin over and against the interior surface of another side of the box. The springpressed pins 37 37 serve to permit a slight vertical movement of the fingers and aids in giving a slight pivotal movement to the fingers. This is quite important, as the corners of the box being covered (in many cases) overlap and are of double thickness. This pivotal movement also provides a means of maintaining a uniform pressure of the fingers in pasting on the cover irrespective of any irregularity of the edges or thickness of the boxes.

The adjustable collars 23 23", in combination with the adjustable bar supports or standards 52 52, provide a means of lowering and raising the tilting bar and its mechanism to conform to the size of the box being covered, and the adjustment of the collars 23 23' will regulate the throw of the tilting bar.

From the foregoing it is plain that many changes might be made in the form and arrangement of the parts described without de parting from the spirit and scope of our invention, and hence we do not desire to limit ourselves to the precise construction'herein set forth; but,
