MACHINE FOR PRlNTING ROLLER WRAPPING-PAPER.

Specification of Letters 'ratent.

Patented May 8, 1906.

Applicaticvnfiled June 1,1905 Serial No. 26330 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, I'IARRY BARNARD, a citizen of Canada, and a resident of Hamilton, in the county of I/Ventworth and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Printing Roller rapping-Paper, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a machine for printing roller wrapping-paper in which is a pivotal spring-frame carrying a printingroller and inking-rollers adapted to be revolved by the action of a wrapping-paper roll journaled on a stand by means of taking off a length of paper from the roll.

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide means whereby a printing-roller prints commercial matter on a roll of wrapping-paper every time that a length of paper is taken from the roll; second, to provide means whereby the inking-rollers may be removed and replaced for printing purposes; third, to provide means on the printing-roller whereby'said roller is revolved; fourth, to al low the printing-roller to assume a central position on the paper-roll, as shown, or to be removed toward either end of the paper-roll, and, fifth, to afiord facilities for ad usting the tension of the printing-roller to the paperroll. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the printing side of the machine. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, the sides of the frames being removed and as viewed from the right-hand end thereof.

Similar characters refer to similar throughout both views.

In the drawings, A represents standards, which support a horizontal stationary bar B, and a' roll of wrapping-paper C is journaled between said standards and adapted to revolve loosely therein.

D is a horizontal paper-cutting blade, forming a part of the spring-arms E, which are connected to the bar B in the usual manner of paper-roll machines which include the above-mentioned trainei girk-and mechanism andwhich are not new.

The parallel printing-roller, is indicated by 2 and has end flanges 3 of larger diameter than the roller. The periphery of the roller 2 is adapted to receive lines of rubber or parts other suitable type 4, secured thereto and The roller 2 shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

is journaled in the frame 5 and adapted to revolve loosely therein. The upper end parts of the frame 5 are loosely connected to the horizontal shaft 6, which passes through said end parts of the frame 5 and throughthe lugs 7of the slidable plate 8, which rcstson the bar B. The plate 8 has an under lip 9 on the opposite side to the lugs 7 to allow the plate 8 to be moved either way on the'stationary bar B and to be held in adjusted position by the weight of the printing device on the opposite side of the frame A. v The plate 8 with its hp 9 tit the bar B very snugly and securely. The shaft 6 has a central pin 10, to which retains the middle part of the spiral spring 12, which spirals around the shaft 6, and the two ends of the spring 12 press against the studs 13 on the inner sides of the frame 5 to press the flanges 3 and the type 4 of the roller 2 against the paper-roll C.

The end part 14. of the shaft 6 is four-sided I and has a ratchet-wheel 15, secured on the shaft, and a dog 16 is pivotally connected to the lug 7 and adapted to engage the opposite side of the ratchet-wheel 15 and stopthe same, together with the shaft 6, after the same has been revolved either way in order to give more or less tension on the ends of the spring 12 and on the frame 5. The shaft 6 maybe revolved by means of a wrench on its end 14. The intermediate inking-roller 16 has and flanges 17, which engage the periphery of the printing-roller '2 and the periphery of the roller 16 is adapted to ink the-type 4 on the roller 2 when the roller 16 is revolved by the printing-roller. The upper inking-roller 18 is in contact with the periphery of the roller 16. The rollers 16 and 18 have , end journals 20 and 21, respectively, and shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

The inner sides of the frame 5 have suitable recesses or slots 22, which extend from the outer edges inward and downward to bediate roller 16 and said intermediate roller to' the printing-roller II is a brace-bolt through the lower part or the frame 5. 1

The operation of the machine is as follows:

When a desired length of Tapping-p aper is removed from the aper-r0110 by means of pulling by the end C, the roll 0 is revolved. Consequently the printin -roller 2 is revolved by the friction of the rol on the flanges 3 and the type 4 prints on the roll of paper being taken from ofi the roll C. At the same time the intermediate roller is revolved by means of itsflang'es engaging the periphery of the roller 2, and the upper roller is revolved by contact with the intermediate roller. The

.printing-roller is given more or less tension or adjustment against the paper-roll by means of adjusting theshaft 6 in either direction,

as the case may be. 'Said shaft when adjust ed inereases or diminishes the tension of the I sprin '12 on the frame 5.

at I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a printing device for papererolls, the combination with a frame for the paper-roll eiavoa having a fiat cross bar or member, of a plate resting on said cross-bar and provided with a lip-Which hooks over the front edge and underneath the crossbar, whereby the plate is secured to the cross-bar so that it may be slid longitudinally of said cross-bar, lugs projecting from the plate toward the rear and opposite side of the pape ii roll frame from the HARRY BARNARD.
