To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUcUs'r F. RoEssLn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elmira, in the county of Chemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sheet-Jogging Machines, of whichthe following is a spec1fi cation.

This invention relates to improvements inl machines for jogging into pro er register in both directions the leaves o books, pads, and the like, or any loose sheets that are' to be stacked or piled for bundling, binding, etc.; and the object of my improvements is to produce a machine which will effectively and rapidly accomplish this purpose by combined vertical and horizontal jogging means, and which willhave a capacity for jogging any desiredinumber of sets of leaves in separate compartments simultaneously.

`A further object is to provide a machine of this character which can be readily adjusted to various sizes of sheets and to different thicknesses in the sets of sheets.

I attain my objects by constructing the machine in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine, parts being shown sectioned longi- A y through the center of the machine; Fig. 2, a plan view, with parts of the upper of the machine broken away.; Fig. 3 an end elevation of the machine; and Fig. 4, a vertical transverse section through the center of the machine. y e

Like numerals designate like parts in the several views. e

Above a skeleton table 1, there are mounted two horizontal slat fra-mes, 2 and 3, the

slats of one frame alternating with the slats of the other. The slats of. frame 2l are fastened together b end pieces 4, and the slats of frame 3 are astened adjacent theirV ends by cross pieces 5, which are bent downward to provide clearance room between them and the slats of frame 2, as shown in Fig. 4. These slat frames rest at each end upon triangular cams 6 and 7, respectively; the outermost slats on each frame being provided with downwardly projecting kblocks V19 and y20 to engage the cams. These cams are mounted .upon transverse shafts 8, j ournaled in bearings fastened to tlfe ends of the table. A longitudinal shaft 9v provided with fast and loose pulleys lOvat one end drives the bars being notched means of strap hinges 35 shafts 8 by means of bevel gears, as shown -in Fig. 2. The rotation of these shafts causes the alternate rise and fall of the slat frames 2 and 3.

Below the slat frames is a stationary frame composed of side bars 11, and a plurality of transverse bars 12, the ends of said into the side b'ars 11, and being supported by longitudinal rods 14, whichpass through the cross bars adjacent their ends. The end cross bars are fastened to the ends of the side vbars by screws, as shown at 39 in Fig. 1. Fastened to the cross bars 12 are stakes 13, which rise between the slats on thetwo slat'frames, thus forming a series of transversev compartments from one end of the machine to the other. This stake frame is supported at the four corners upon posts 15, said posts passing through guides 17 attached to cross pieces 18, fastened to the legs of the table. The posts are screw threaded, so as to be adjusted up and down in the guides 17, hand nuts 16 being provided above and below the guides 17 for so adjusting the posts and locking them in adjusted position.'

The stakes 13 holdthe slat frames against transverse displacement, and longitudinal displacement of the Slat frames is prevented by angle plates 21, fastened at each end of the slat frames, and adapted to slide against the inward faces of the end frame members `of the table.

' At one side. of the machine is" a side jogger board 22, which, adjacent each end is fastened by angle piece 23 toa hub 24, adjustably mounted on a rod 25, said rods being slidablymounted in brackets attached to the inside of the end frame members of the table. These rods 25 are reciprocated by means of eccentrics 26 fastened to shaft 9, the ends of' therods being provided at`27 with bearing pieces to en age the eccentrics. The return motion of tie rods is accomplished by means of springs 28 mounted on the rods ybetween a supporting bracket 29 and an adjustable collar 30, whereby the tension of the springs may be properly adjusted to regulate the joggerblows. At the other side of the machine is a board 32 provided at 33, opposite each row of stakes, with vertical division strips. 'At its lower edge, the board 32 is fastened at a sli htly acute angle to aboard 34, which is astened by to the upper side strap of these hinges is slotted, and a bolt 361 asses through the slot and throu h the tab e member, on the underside of w ich it is provided with a clamping nut 37. The board 32 may'thus be set toward or away from the slat frames, as the work may require.v `Coiled sprin 38 are set in sockets on the frame mem er adjacent each end thereof, said springs engaging the underside of the .board 34, thereb ermitting the board 32 to spring s h y Eack and forth on its hinges, when t e sets of leaves are acted upon by the jogger board 22. The function of this spring board is to cause a slight rebound after each stroke of the side jogger in order thatthe leaves may stand free to be acted upon at the next stroke of the jogger. ,f

By changing the side bars 11 for other side bars having notches for'the cross bars 12 set nearer together or farther apart, and

moving the cross bars upon the longitudinal rods 14, to fit said notches, the compartments between stakes may be made narrower or wider as the work may require; addltional cross bars and stakes bein added where the notches are closer toget er, and cross bars and stakes being removed ywhere the notches are farther apart. The ivision strips 33 will also be moved along the board 32 and fastened thereon to correspond to the adjustment of the com artment stakes.

The legs of the tab e on the spring board side of the machine are cut shorter than the others to so tilt the machine as to give the sets of leaves a tendency to slide down the compartment and rest against the face of the spring board, while under the action of the joggers, thus preventing too much rebound after they strike the spring board.

When the machine has been properly adjusted in its several parts to correspond with the length, width and thickness of the sets of leaves to be jo ged, these sets will be fed into the machine y an operative at one side, the sets bein placed in the compartments from one en of the machine to the other: and after being brought into proper register, the sets will be removed by an operative at the other side of the machine; freshsets being placed in the machine as fast as sets are removed, the work being tiously accomplished, with the employment of but two workmen.
