To a/ZZ whom it may concert-1,'.-

Be it known that I, MAX SCHUPPE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of IOv.

to provide such a rece tacle with means for feeding the contents o the-same in a direction outward from the receptacle, for feeding.

said contentsfgradually, and lfor feeding said contents intermittently. Another object of my invention is to provide means by which the feeding mechanism of said contents may b'e operated My invention is articularly adapted for use with machines or blacking or applying paste to articles such as boots or'shoes.

Inftheaccompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of one embodin'ient of my invention, showing its applpation to a blackingor aste applying mac e, only 4such arts-o the machine being shown as to i ustrate the practical working of the same.. Fig. 2 `,is-a part elevation, art vertical section, the sec' tion being on t e line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 illustrates in plan a vslightly different form of my invelntion from that lshown in Figs. 1 and 2. ,Fi 4 is apart elevation, part vertical section, of the devices shown in Fig; 3, the section ybeing on the line 4 4 o f Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary "detail elevation of some of the parts shown in Figs. 3 and 4f Similar characters represent like parts in all the figures. 1

1 is aboxor receptacle for blacking, paste, or similar article (shown in Figs. 1 and 2) and having a head or bottom 2 `at one end and open at the other end. 3 is a screw passing loosely through an o ening insaid head,- where said screw lis" oosely journaled, as

-shown at 4.

5 is a disk or follower inclosed in receptacle 1 and provided with an opening through which passes the screw 3, said screw engaging with ascrewfthread on the interior of said opening.

Assoon as draw the-arms9 and'7, pawlS, and arm 12'to the left until .the roller 15 will be under said the cam'16 has passed 'over the roller 15`at tthe outer end of the arm 12 the spring 19 will l bracket and outside of the arm 12 for disk -21ad'jacent to said cutters.

forming a stop to the outer movement of said arms 9 and 7 and pawl 8 caused by the ten- 'sional action of the spring 19. 21 is a disk extendingacross the open end of the receptaclel 1 and 'secured tothe outer end of the screw 3. Said disk is provided with one or more cutters 22, extending within the rece tacle y.1, there beingalso openings 23 in't e When the screw 3 is turned, the disk 21 will also turn, andthe cutters 22 Will scrape or` shave off portions of the paste or other material that ,may be in the'receptacle. 1 adjacent to said cutters, said portions passing lthrough said o enin'gs 23 to `the outside ,of the disk 21.` Tliie above apparatus will serve not only to force the material in a; direction outward from the receptacle 1, but will also, as above stated, force onto the plane surface-that is, .the outside of the disk 21-a small quantity oflthepaste, blacking, or other. material, that 2 may be takenv up by any-brush or other device moving incontact with the outside of said disk. The disk 21 is preferably provided with a'fiange 24, surrounding the outer Wall of the receptacle 1, and which flange will prevent'- the clogging of the material at the edges of said disk. The disk 21 is also provided with a diverging flange 25, the divergifng feature permitting a 4full sweep of the disk 21-against a brush or'similar device or of lsaid brush or devicein contact with the outer surface of the disk. j

Referrin "now to Figs. 3, 4, and 5, 26 is a crown-ratcet secured to thescrew 3 outside of the head2. 27 is arock-shaft loosely journaled in a bearing 28 above the head 2, secured-to the receptacle 1. 29 is a spring# pawl laterally pivoted to4 the rock-shaft 27 and engaging with the teeth of ratchet 26. If the shaft 27 turnsinthe direction of the arrow in Fig. 5, the pawl 29 willmove to the left and cause the'ratchet 26 to move in the same direction, (shown by the arrow in Fig. 3,) thus turning the screw 3 so that the follower 5 will mve voutward or away from the head 2. VVhen the shaft 27 is turned in the direction opposite to that shown by the arrow in "'Fig. 5, the pawl 29 will slide over the'teeth of the ratchet 26 to the right and will -not turn. said ratchet, and conse uently the 'screw 3 will not turn and the fol ower 5 will not be moved. 30 is a coil tension-spring surrounding the shaft 27, one end of which is secured to said shaft and the other end to the sco,

bearing 28. Said spring will tend constantly to'turn shaft 27 in the direction opposite to l that shown by the arrow in Fig. 5, so that when the shaft 27 is turned in the direction of said arrow and then released the spring 30 will turn the parts to their former and normal positions. 31 is a bracket to which the receptacle 1 is secured and which bracket may be secured by screws 32 to a machine for applying blacking, paste, or other substance on an article or articles. 33 is a projection or in extending' above the bracket 3 1 and outsi e of the shaft 27 for forming a stop Afor the'rotation or movement of the shaft 27 in the return vdirection opposite 'to that shown by the arrow in Fig. 5, or'the normal position of shaft 27. In order to provide-a device somewhat in the nature of a crank, so kthat the shaft 2 7 can be readily turned, I bend said arm as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the raising and lowering of such bent portions 34 35 will cause the shaft 27 to turn. Any means may be employed for raising or lowering said parts 34 35, and conse uently turning the shaft 27, and I have simply indicated in Figs..3 and 4 a projecting part 36, which may be upon anymachine on which my apparatus is to be used; If the projection 36 be moved in the direction of arrows 37, or ifi-said projection be stationary and all of the other devices shown in Figs. 3 'and 4 be moved in the direction opposite to the arrows 37, the parts 34 35 Willbe raised by said projection 36 and said projection will pass under part 35 and cause shaft27to turn, so as to cause the teeth 29 to rotate the ratchet 26, and thereby move outward the follower 5. As soon as projection 36 has passed under the part 35 or as soon as the part 35 has passed over the projection' 36 the spring 30 "will draw the'parts back to their normal positions, with the shaft 27 or-its part 34 coming in contact with pin or stop 33. 38 represents blackin paste, or similar material, i which is secure to the follower 5 in any a propriate manner. This material 38 may Se compressed and in the form of a cake, so that when the follower 5 moves outward it would also move outward the cake or pad 38, so that it will be in a position toact upon the brushes or similar devices adjacent to the outer or open end of the receptacle 1 or would ,be in a position to have said brushes or other devices act upon said cake or pad.

When the receptacle is round, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the follower 5 would be rotated when the screw rotates instead of being fed outward if it were not for some means to prevent such rotation. In Fig. 2 I have l shown a featherS secured to the inner wall of the box 1, which fits into a corresponding groove (not shown) in the follower 5. Suc construction Will cause the follower 5 to move in a direction inward and outward of the receptacle by the rotation of the screw 3. This feather 38 terminates at a point far enough from the outer end of the receptacle 1 so that IOO IOS

when the follower "5 has com@ ill Contact the disk 21 orv the cutters 22'saidfollower,lwill have passed beyondsai'd feather', ffand` Y V Y v by `Letters. Patent is4 s 'i therefore there being nothing to preventthe turning of the follower 51 itv will rotate lwith the screw Sand not feed'any farther, andl said screw has a plane outer end 39, whichv consequently all danger 'of straining the partsv by afurther feeding moyement of the follower 5 against the disk 21 ,will be. avoided.

,In` the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4,-

the receptacle 1 bein angular, suchA construction will prevent t lower 5 during the rotation of the screw 3; but in order to keep the follower y5 in connection with the screw at the oint wherethe follower should vno longer e 'fed outward will be in the threaded holein the follower 5 after said hole has assed Vbeyond the thread 0f the screw 3 an as long as there is anything beyond the mouth of the receptacle'to prevent the 'follower rece tacle. 1 v

T e paste or contents -of the. receptacle 1 may be provided with a retaining device ex-A tending acrossand securedto the, open end of the receptacle', such as a piece of netting. orA

cross-wire, as shown at 40 in Fi 4.

lIn the case of b oth constructions shown as the paste or other material inthe receptacle is used up it can be fed forward or tothe open ortion of the receptacle ,1,by means of the ollower 5. If-it be desired to move said follower up to or nearer the head 2, this can be done -by rotating the ratchet 6 or 26 by hand, `so that the receptacle may `be refilled with the proper material or for any other purpose.

Myinvention provides an'nnproved receptacle for blacking, paste, or similar material and one having very simple means for feed-y 1 ing said material gradually and intermittently. My inyention also provides means e rotation of thefoli vreceptacle for moving said follower toward the mouth of said rece tacle, and devices fory opera'tin saidv means mtermittently and automatica ly irrespective ofany movement of the receptacle.` i e v2. In combination with a paste or blacking receptacle, a follower vinclosed in said receptacle, a screw extendin through the `head or lbottomof-said receptac e, and engagingwith said follower, a disk" secured to the outer end of said screw and provided with cutters extending within the receptacle, and openings p .in Said disk..

3. vIn combination witha paste orblackng `receptacle-,fa follower inclosed insaid receptacle, a screw-extendin through the head or bottom of said receptac e, and engagingwith said follower, and a rotary cutter extending across the mouth of said receptacle.
