The shaft c carries a Worm e intermediateits ends adapted to mesh-With the worm-Wheel f, which is secured upon'ashaft g, suitably` journaled at right angles to the shaft c. f

A crank-wheel i' is keyed to'each end, of the shaft g. A connect'in -rod y' is fastened' at one end to a crank-pini, mounted on each of the crankfwheels i. The opposite end of the connecting-rod is secured', by means of aiballvand-socket joint m, to a link mths o posi'te end of which'link is j ournaled tol the ependj n ing arm n of the bar n2," the arm n bein journaledin and protruding above the b e c. i A coil-sprin A is fitted around. thecircumfere'nce of t e 'de ending arm n of the bar n?, oneend of w ich spring is securely fastened to the arm and the oppositeend B of which is looped around thelink n'. This provides a resilient connecting means be-I'.

Oneend of the. spring is supported at the base 'of the recess, and the `opposite both are operated exactly alike. l To the up Wardly-projecting rib 1a frame 'as is securely attached, the frame comprising a trans versely-extending bar 2, provided at either end with upright bars 3 3, Levers n" are pivotally journalcd intermediate their ends to the transverse bar 2, the inner en d of each lever being connected to the 'transverselyslotted upper end Il of the vertically-moving arm 71? and the opposite ends of the levers being connected to the movable standards nu. A horizontally-extending bar o is provided with boxes 5 5, intermediate its ends, the uprights 3 3 of the frame as passing through the boxes, to which uprights the boxes are adjustably secured at any height A movable yslotted {ingenbar 0"', extending parallel with the baro and. the transverselycxtending base jZ-of the frame,is likewise p ividedwith sleeves 7" 7 intermediate its en adapted to re- -ceive the movable standards n, the fingerbar o2` being adjustably held at any desired height on'the movable standards by means 2S, The adjustment of the bar o is regulated with reference to the height of the boxes under treatment, and the finger-bar o2 may be adliusted in its vertical movement in the hangers o by means of the sleeves 7 and set-screws 8. Depending grooved hangers o areseeured to the ends of the stationarily-inountedv hanger-bar o, the ends of the finger-bar oZ being received in thc grooves in the hangers and being guided bar 'r and arms n" thereby during its movements. -f The lingerbar .isslotted, as at 9, Fig. 7, to accommodate the heads cfa series of collanbolts es, .adapted to adjustably support a vseries of fingers o4, tting in the recessed top 24 of the fingenbar. The npriglits 3 3 of the frame a8 support a second .stationary linger-bar o5, upon which -a series of fingers o are adjusta ly mounted and retained in place by collar-bolts fitted to a "'slot in the same man? secured to the bar o2. The upper fingenbar o5 is provided with sleeves 25 25, in which the standards n are movably received, the bar o5 being adjustably secured to the upright bars 3 3 by means of set-screwsto admit a vertical adjustment of thebar o5 with reference to the height of Each linger is recessed, as at 10, to receive a coil-spring p, which encircles the bolt o", the latter entering upon the' surface `of the annular vshoulder p^ end of they springcontacts with 'the nut p2, carried by the upper end of the' boltfand iit the spring p under fingers in position relative te each other on the bar 02. This provides fora lateral or rocking motion of the fingers, permitting aaai-so.

them to conform t6 any irregular or uneven surface of the box. The ends of the fingers project upwardly beyond the bar o2 and are provided with rollers pf A cam-wheel q is secured to the shaft g between the crank-wheels i, the purpose of which cam-wheel is to provide a means for automatically raising the finger-bar 02. The vertically-moving machine support at their which is suspended below chine and longitudinally thereof. A crossbar r is pivotally supported at right angles to the bar r, upon which l/atterit is supported. yi`he mechanism described operates the iinf gers as follows: ,f

When motion is imparted vto the shaft g, the cannwheel g is rotated, bringing theperipherai cam g carried thereby into contact with the outer end f of the bar r', which is thereby rocked downwardly, depressing the i and forcing'the outer ends lower ends a bar r,

of the levers n" and n upwardly, thereby raising the finger-bar 02 in the hangers o', together with the fingers o", and pasting the margin of the paper coverf ingl the box to the interior surface thereof in the manner hereinafter set forth.

A gear-wheel. r2 is keyed meshes with a gear-wheel r3, having'one-half the pitch, or in the ratio of two toone. The gear-wheel r3 is mounted on a suitably-supported counter-shaft 1A, having the camwheels and r located at either end thereof. A lever r? is pivotally supported on a hanger s, depending from `the bed. One end of the lover '1"7 projects into the path of and is engaged by the cam 12, carried on the camwhcel, and one end of a coil-spring s is secured to the lever near its opposite or outer end, thereby holding the inner end of the lever in contact with the periphery of the camwheel pressure is exerted against theailpner end of the lever 1, the opposite end s2 oi'wliich normally contacts with a curved projecting lug 13, carried by a foot-pedales, the upper end of which has secured thereto a block s, the block received in an annular groove' `S5, formed in the hub of the movable member 26 of a frictional clutch s".

treadle 15 being provided to admit of the manual operation of ,the clutch, if desired. The pedal is so pivoted, however, that its weight tends to automatically swing the upper end of theI pedal away from the pulley d and withdraw the block 8^. lt is normally prevented from such movemena however, by reason of the engagement of the end s? of the lever 'P7 with the curved lug 13 of the pedal. As the cam-wheel rs revolves the cam. l2 is brought in contact with the lever rl, thereby moving the vend s2 out of engage ment with the lug i3 to permit the pedal carand pasting the margin of the paper covering eeaese rying the movable member 26 lot the clutch to swing away from the pulley d to release the latter from irictional contact with the shaft c upon every revolution'ol' the shaft rt, which .completes the'operation otter-ning in the born l A. cam-Wheel r also secured to the .shaft r4, is provided With a cani 16, adapted to conw tact With one end of a lever S8, the lever be ing pivotally supported intermediate its ends by means of a hanger S7.

The' outer end oi the lever 38 is pivotally,connected to bar s", Which bar extends upwardly and is connectkeyed to this pivotal rod and serves to oscill late it in its bearings in the standards t. The transverse' members t2 t2 i the double T- vshaped frame are connected by means oi' the -endthereo the collars each carry rod t, the outer tree transverse member having collars t3 t, adjustably mounted at either a hat 'spring-linger 1.4, slightly curved,preferably,

Connected to the crank 15 is a strong spring 17., Which normally retains the'outer end of the lifting member in elevated position away from the box. Nhen the cam 16 engages the lever sa, as before set forth, the

spring-tingers it are swung downward and brought into engagement with and clasp the :outer surface of' the box, the spring 17 returning the lifting member to its normal elevated position, together with the b'oX, as soon as the camp' 16 leaves the lever n t. remove the` box from the holder preparatory to removing it `from the machine and permitting ar luther bir to be placed Vbe described.

a holder fw, from Which the slotted arms fw diametrically extend. The holder is prefereblysecured to the upper 'end of ashait y?.

27,'l adapted to receive similarly-shaped ribs 17', secured to the bases w", to which are plv'- o'ta'llysecured. the vertical standards w3. The

upper, ends of the standards are iiexed outwardly and are provided at their ends with inner surface of the sides ofthe box, 'holding it inplace' While the operation ot turning in ate as a'cliclr or dog. a cam. D, adapted to engage the paWl y and on the box-holder, new lo Centrally of the bed is rotatably supportedV and pasting is performed. it Will be noted that two' of' the standards instead of being iiexed outwardly are straight, and each is provided with aVboX 18,' adjustably secured thereto, the box provided With oppositelyprojecting arms 19 19, adj ustably held in the bei; and provided vWith rollers at their'onter ends, the object of `which construction is to al'iordmeans-'for receiving boxes of varying srzes on the standards.. The lower portions et the standards w3 are. each 'formed ith a toot 20, extending at right angles ivith the body portion, the standards being pivotally secured to the bases Q05 by means of the pins w, the feet superimposed upon the bases and yieldingly held in place by the coil-springs 0.07, nencircling the studs 21carried by the bases and projecting through slotted aper` tures in the feet. This construction permits of a lateral play of the standards to accommodate' any irregularity in. the `r`ize or shape of the box. Thebases are adj.r hably secured to the arms w byineans of set-screws 22.

The aft fy-is mounted in a Washer y,A provided iidth the peripheral no' :hes gz," and if, the. notches adapted to recei the end of a patri Iy, pivoted upon a.siiitably-si1pported pin The pawl normally rests in the notch y` to retain the Washer and work-holder steady, the shaft if having a spring S0 coiled therearound, one end of the spring secured to the shalt yB and the. opposite end secured to the bed a of the machine. This spring is under'a slight tension, tending to rotate the disk vy and move the Worleholder w toward the lett (in the drawings) and the paw] by ena inir the notch revente such rotation the pawl being held in engagement with the periphery of the 'disk y by means of the spring 29. The normal position of the disk is shown in Fig. in Whi ch the stud fm1/2 is in engagement With the inclined planeq/13, so as ,to project above the disk y in advanceof the arm if. 'it is also to "be observed that the tooth oi the pawl and the faces of the notches are both squared and squarely engage each other, so that the paWl must actually be forced away by the cam D anddoes not operM The shaft also carries release th'e latter from, engagement With the disk g/ just prior to the engagement of the radial pin if with the arm y2. 'Vhen the parts are in the vwssition shownv in Fig. 6, the loose stud if is in engagement With the inclined, plane if? preparatory to the engagement ofv the pin 'if and thearm y2. Separate and independent arms y2 1/14 are journaled on the shaft y, attached tothe Washer, and are adapted Ito rotate on the shaft independent oi' each other, as 'shown inFig. 5. Studs 'g4 and g5 are rigidlyvsecured to the washeryand project above its surface, againstivhich studs the loose arms y2 y are normally held by means of the springs y, secured' to the arms IOC IOS

TAO

and to the disky. Located beneaththe disk y is a stationary arc-shaped inclined plane y, carried by a washer 31 and adapted to engage the lower end of a long stud y, loosely held in the disk y and of such a length as to project above the surface thereof 'when enl washer 7 which carries thepholder 'w until the arms y2 ym are in the positions shown by the 4 dotted lines in Fig. 6, when the notch ya is brought in contact with the pawl y", by means of which the holder is retained in place until the work is finished, the length of the pin y being i)ietletcrniiiied, so that it will wipe past the arm if when the pawl engages the notch @/8. The termination or lowest point of the inclined portion oi the washer is also reached and the pin y drops down out of the way ot the arm y. 0n the succeeding rotation of the shalt g the cani l) contacts with the pawl, 'forcing it out of contact with the notch g/S to release the washer upon which the holder is mounted, and the holder is rotated in the opposite direction by means of the coil-spring 30, which has been placed under greater tension when the arms were rotated to their dotted-line position, bringing the holder. back to its original position shown` in Fig. 6, the holder n1 airing a quart Afrturn only in each direction` When the holder is returned to its normal position, the pin y is brought back into engagement with the inclined surface y and raised into position in iront of the arm y2.

The pin v@/7 is used vfor the purpbse of retarding the n'iovement of the holder when the latter is returning to its original position, which is accomplished. by the arm y contacting with the pin 1,1/7, upon th e release oi the holder by the pawl and cam, the spring 30 causing arm 3/4 to bear against thepiny7 as the latter is rotated until the p awl rcngages the notch 'y'.

The operation of our device is as follows:

j' The carriages n? nl are fitted ina suitable way formed in the bed oi the machine and are re-V ciprocated simultaneously toward and from the holder by means oi the mechanism jfirst described, the holder being journaled cen-.

trally ol the bed'oi themachine and 'being partially rotated as above described in per- Yforming the function oi turning in and pasting. The box to be treated is first covered with paper, leaving a margin projecting above and below the box, and is then placed in an `on through the levers and .links fh, n10.

, eeaeso inverted position upon the upright standards w3, which are secured to and carried by the holder, the standards having rollers 'w4 journaled in the ends which are adapted to contact with theinterior'surfaee of the boX and retain it snugly in position; The standards. are adjustably secured to the holder to. provide a means for holding any size or shape ot box. When movement is impartedto t e carriages, they move forward in the. way to'- ward the holder, and in approaching the box the/lingers mounted on the stationary standards turn in and paste the projecting margin. oi the paper-to the bottom ofthebox, which completes the turning in and pasting of the margin projecting over the bottom of the box, since the paper is coated with an' adhesive and the rolls p3 intheir ends bend the margin el' paper over and press it down on the bottom oi the boit. The lower series of iingers which are mounted'on the' Inova-ble supports engage and turn the margin of the palper in at right angles with the top of the'box and immediately subsequent thereto an upward movement is transmittedto the fingers, 9o as described, to turn the marginf paper upward and press it against'the inner surface of the top oi the box to. paste it thereto. The movable fmger-baro2 is raised primarily by reason ofthe engagement of the cam g with the cross-rod r', which latter as soon as released is brought back by gravity, the weight of the finger-bars o2 o2 operating therIen rising the edges' of. the box are received between the upturnedfmgeijs o4 and the face of the bar o, the downwardmovement of the bar occurring when the cam q has passed the cross-bar 1f and the continued rotation of the shalt g causes the return or simultaneous back movement of the carriages to their normal positions at the ends of the table through theconnectingbars, levers, and-p sts'hitherto set forth. As the shaft y approaches the end of its second rotation the cam-tooth I 1o 16 wipes the lever s8- to causeth'elifting-bar to move downward againstthe tension ofthe spring 17, bringing the spring-finger t4 down over the box, the further rotation of'cam- IOO whefl rl moving the cam-tooth l'away from 1 15 a second box is placed over `the-upper ends of,"

the standardsw3 and the treadle 15 depressed to bring the clutch members once more into, engagement.

In practice the momentum or inertia of 13o the gearing carries the cam 12 past the lever "T7, so that the spring s brings theend of the lever r? back into engagement with the lug 13 to causea practicallycontinuous operation ofthe niachine With but the. slightest V'possible stoppage or halt. Upon the commencement of the second rotation of shaft g,the'disk y being in its ro- I tated position With the pawl y engaging the notch ys, the cani D'Wipes against the pawl to release thedisk y and permit its return to the position shown in Fig. 6 by the tension lof spring 30, and the pin @/7 is engaged by thev loose arm y14 to restrain the disk froma too rapid rotation, the speed of the disk y being brought down to that of the shaft g. The

commencement of the-,succeeding rotation of shaft g the cam D engages paWl 1/gto release disk y and immediately subsequentl thereto the pin if engages they arm y2 in the4 manner heretofore set forthto rotate the' disk y, during the rotation of which the pin y is brought into engagement with the arm i/14, forcing the latter backward against the tension oi its spring y 4until the pawl has engaged notch y ofthe disk, at'which timel the pins y? y7 wipepast the arms y2 y and-t the spring yu returns arm ym toits normal of finger-bars supported on th'e carriage, one Having fully described ourinventionavliat; -weclaim as new, and ,desire tolsecure by Let-,
