To all whom it may concern:

' whichthe following is a specification.
This invention relates to machines for.
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein .there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure'l is a side view, partlyin section, showing a por tion of the machine embodying the invention, Fig. 2 is a side view showing a further portion of the. machine; Fig. 3 is an enlarged ongitudinal sectional view through the plunger and die portion of the machine;

I
One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a machinewhich is capable of performing allthe necessary operations in making the complete boxes or trays from a continuous wb of paper, including the f rune-Box June a, 1913.
printing orornamenting of the same, which is performed on the web in its passage through the machine, cutting and scoring the, same, applyin adhesive material to the vchanging or substitutin some parts, as for instance one set of dies or another, and adjusting the relations of the other parts.
Experience has ta ht that-when a web of material is deliver eg to a machine of this character and manipulated in the manner set forth, it is exceedingly advantageous touse a rotary printing, apparatus which is continuously operating, while of course manyof the other operations ,are intermittently performed, necessitating that the Web'be in a state of rest during said opera-' tion. So, too, in intermittently feeding the web to submit it to different operations, it is absolut'elg necessary, in order to make good work an produce proper register between the various operations performed on the articles, to feed the material the exact amount necessary at each movement, for if the error in feeding .is only slight it is Specification ct leissued Letters Patent. 'Reiggued O t. 13 1914 Seriallo. 298,806. Application or reissue filed rapidly multiplied so that the parts will not properly operate to perform theirfunctions on the material at the proper places.
T There will be first described the means whereby the machine is adapted to intermittently feed the material from a continu ous web or roll. The material A is in the form of a roll A mounted upon a suitable support A arranged adjacent the machine,
and the shaft A supporting the] roll is under 1 a constant friction through any suitable device, as indicated at A, which prevents the roll from overrunning to any great extent. From the roll the paper passes to a slack take-up device B which is 'adjustably mounted with relationto the printing apparatus,
and the other operating parts of the ma- Y chine, and while this slack device may be variously constructed, it is shown as com-" prising suitable column supports B, each having a longitudinal bar B onwhich are adjustably mounted the auxiliary frames B B. These frames carry in suitable bearings guide rollers 6 b, b, I), and prefer abl the outer guide rollers, as b, b, have col ars, as b", at their ends to aid in guiding the web=of material between them. Interposed between each pair of guide rollers, as between 6 b and b, are dandy rollers .b, and b, which. are guided in elongated slotted bearings 6 b, and-are free to rise and fall in these bearings and to act as slack take-up rollers in the manner hereinafter described. i
The printingdevices, as above intimated, mayvary indetails of construction according to the requirements of any particular case, but in the'form illustrated thereis a printin cylinder C and an impression cylinder g. mounted in asuitable frame C which is adjustable with relation to the boxforming parts of the machine in anysuitable way, and is shown as having arms U ad- 'justa-bly secured to the-main frame of the machine. Also mounted in the. frame C is a suitable inking apparatus comprising among other things an 1nk applying roll C and proper ink supplying and distributing rollers, such, for instance, as are generally outlined in the drawing but need not be specifically described. Also mounted in the frame C are the rotary feed rollers D, D,
' further to be driven in harmony with the other'parts of the machine, as will appear and these feed rollers are connected to be driven in unison or harmony with the printing rollers C, C, by any suitable means, such as indicated in the drawing, and are hereafter.
As above'indicated, it is desirable that the rinting rollers should rotate continuously n order to get effective distribution of the ink, and consequently the feed rollers D, D
are driven continuously, and as the material is intermittently fed through the machine to receive the subse uent operations, some means must be provi ed to allow this to be done. In the present instance the printing cylinder C is of. less diameter 'than the impression cylinder C, and mounted on the printing cylinder C is the printing form C which extends around the surface of the printing cylinderto a greater or less extent according to the size of the articles to be.
produced or the extent of the printing upon said articles. Sometimes the printing is limited to the-bodies of the boxes or rece tacles, while again the end portions or t eside portions, either or both, receive printing, and the size of the form C varies accordingly. It is necessary, however, that the form should be less in circumference than the face of the printing cylinder so as to leave a blank space 0 on .the surface of the cylinder between the-ends of the form. It is of course necessary that the paper while being printed should be fed forward at a rate of speed corresponding with the travel of theprinting surface, and consequently the feed rollers D, D, are arranged to produce this feed. It is further necessary that the printing cylinders should make a complete rotation to each complete reciprocation of the other parts of the machine hereafterto be described. 7
' In many instances it is desirable'that the printing should commence at least, if not be completed, while the main body of the web is'stationary, and this tendsto buckle up or gather the web between the feed rollers D,
D and F, F. It is then desirable to take up this slack thus formed, and to permit this to be done the feedrollers D, D, or one of them, maybe provided with cut-away portions, but preferably it is onlynecessary to cut away portions of the upper feed roller D. Thls feed roller is preferably made up of disks set at ditferentdistances apart upon the shaft d, and they are provided with cut-away portions d. These dlSkS can be adjusted on the shaft so that the 'cut' away portions will overla each other to a greater or less amount. he advantage of using disks is apparent, as they can'be adjusted at different distances apart so that in feeding the printed web they will not come in contact with the printed matter. There w1ll now be described briefiv the operation of the parts so far described, and
for this purpose will assumethat the web A beyond the feeding rollers D, D, is in a. stationary condition. As the feed rollers D. D and printing rollers G, U, rotate, the paper will be gripped preferably first between the feed rollers D, D and moved forward and receive the printing as the printing rollers C, C rotate, the excess of paper bein buckled up or gathered behind the feed ro lers D, D. This forward movement of the web 'A first draws up the dandy roll .b'until it is at or near the top of the elongated bearings, and then, further drawing the web, raises the dandy roll I) and thence tends to unroll the paperfrom the roll A. As soon as the paper passes the printin form C? 'or the uncut-away portions 0 the feed'roller D, the dandy roll b by its weight tends to draw back the slack, and as the inertia-of the roll A may carry it beyond the distance necessary, the dandythe roll of paper tosupply material for two printings, although of course this may vary according to the relative tension of the prising the rollers F, F, arranged in bearing which also support the raw:
parts and length used. As a matter of fact the operation's of the whole machine are performed with such rapiditythat the roll A may be said to be practically unwindingall the time, and the dandy roll I) may be said to take up the unwound excess or slack from the roll, while the dandy roll I) may take up the slack drawn back through the rinting and feeding rolls -after the printing is done. .The more nearly this ideal operation is attained, the more )erfect and satisfactory it is. From this it ollows that when the paper is gripped be tween/the feedingrollers D, D, to be fed forward and rinted, there is no strain upon the paper except that due to the weight of the dandy roll I), and the danger of slipping or inaccurate register is avoided. Having thus explained how the web is primarily fed and printed, there will now be explained the further manipulations of the web to make the completed article. Mounted adjacent the printing apparatus is-an intermittently operated feeding device comand these are cutting and scoring rollers G, G, and these rollers rotate in unison byany suitable -in-' termittently 0 rating means. In the present instance t ere is indicated a referred o crating means, such as is more. ully disc osed and claimed in Patent No. 1,030,183 and so it is only necessary to describe the same, in this'application, sufiiciently to enable the operations to generally understood. Connectedto the main driving shaft H is a crank disk H to whichis connected it rack-bar H which operates in connection with a pinionHIloose on the shaft H and having a suitable clutch device whereby as the rack-bar moves rearward the feed rollers F, F are operated, while when the rack-bar moves forward, the feed rollers remain stationary. The cutting and scorin devices are of a well-known type indicate in the drawings, and of course are adjustable indifferent relations to cut and score the blank longitudinally according tothe re-' quirements 0 any particular case.
In the present nstance, shown in Fig. 7, the web is cut to trim. the edges on the lines 9 and scored on'the lines (7. Interposed between the feed rollers F, F, and the feed I rollers D, D, is an adjusting device comprising the roller E mounted 1n slotted bearings E and capable of adjustment in those bearings'by'any suitable device, as a hand wheel E and beveled ear connections with the bearings of the rol er E. The PUP-1, pose of this arrangement will be apparent to those skilled in the art as it is well known that it is difiicult to. feed a continuous web bytwo'difi'erent positively operating feed devices, intermittently operating on the web, and get perfect register unless nre'ans are provided sothat each feed can practically act independently of the other. Moreover, in order that the parts shall properly register, the distance between the feeding devices-has'to be accurately adjusted under different circumstances, and the purpose of the roller E, which is out of the line or path of the web, is to lengthen or shorten the path of the web so. that the proper part of said web will be presented to the intermittently operating feed rollers F, F, and register be maintained. Again, as before seen, in operating the feed rollers I), D, a certain amountof slack is produced in the web behind the rollers, and in actual operation it'ispreferable to adjust the relations ofthe two sets of feed rollers D, D
and F, F so that the latter shall commence to feed the material slightly after the feed rollers D, D have commenced to feed the same, so that when the feed rollers F, F
start to feed the web there will be no slip and it will have to move bodily but a small section or portion of the web in front of the feed rollers. In ractice, after the feed rollers have starte in this way both sets'of rollers D, D and F, .F operate concurrently for a portion of their feed, and when the web is released from the feed rollers D, D by coming 0. posite the cut-away portion 03, the feed rol ers F, F still continue to move a certain extent and act in opposition to the dandy roll I) which tends to take up this slack, and by properly adjusting the roller E, when the web stops moving it will be in. proper registr both for the next printing operation an the nextintermittent feeding operation.
The next operation upon the blank in the machine illustrated consists in cuttin or punchin out pieces at the adjacent en s of the blan to form the parts which are fold ed over or interlocked and fastened together in making the box, an operation whichis ordinarily termed dieing. There is shown at I a dplaten moving on posts I and reciprocate by the connectionI operated from suitable connections on the main shaft H.
This "platen is arranged to operate suitable supplementary dies which are inserted between the platen and the bed I and for the sake of clearness in this particular instance the dies are notfshown, they being of any usual construction and varying in their contour according to the particular parts to be cut or formed in making any particular box.- It will be understood that these dies'are operated while the blank is intermittently resting in its motion" throughfthe machine,
and the dies in thisparticular instance are arranged to form the fla s 2', i, on the adjacent ends of the box blan s, as shown in Fig. 7. Each-blank is thus formed bytwo .successive operations of the dies and therefore it will be evident that any given arrangeth'roughwhich the web ment of the dies is. adapted to-make boxes' of different lengths by merely changing the feed of the web between successive operations of the dies. While this operation is being performed by the dies the preceding blanks are receiving the adhesive material.
While various forms of devices may be used for-applying the adhesive material, there is shown a vat J containing the material, in which are arranged pins J, and these are arranged to be lifted by a rod J 2 operated in the present instance by a lever J 3 connected with the platen I and moving concurrently therewith. In this way the adhesive material is lifted up on the ends of the pins J and impressed upon the under side of the blanks, the parts being adjustable to so 10- cate the pins J 'that the adhesivematerial will be placed on the proper portions of the different sized blanks. Over the vat is an arm J beneath which the blank passes and which serves as an abutment in applying the adhesive.
Arranged 7 beyond the vat are the feed j rollers K, K in suitable hearings on the frame of the machine, and these feed rollers are preferably driven by positive gearing connected to the feed rollers F, F, and there is shown a sprocket chain K for this purpose, there being an' adjustable idler roller K for taking up the slack of the chain. Also mounted on the shafts carrying the feed rollers K, K are the cutters L, L which operate to make the longitudinal cut Z between the two series of blanks. As these cutters are apt to depress one of the cut edgesand raise the other out of the longitudinal plane throu h which the material passes, guides L l are provided, the. former consisting of a series of arms secured in the present instance to the bar L, and the latter, L being shown in the form of a plate secured to the bar L forming a passage moves. yMounted in the plate L is a series of pins or screws Z which can be adjusted so as to cause the adjacent cut edges of the web to again lie in the longitudinal plane through which it passes, so that the material will be practically flat as it passes to the cutters hereafter I to be described. The slittedweb is fed along for the next series of operations, which consist in forming the box 'or tray and severin the blanks therefor from the longitudina web. In the present instance there is shown an improved mechanism for accomplishin these results which will now be describe Mounted on the main frame of the machine is an auxiliary frame M shown in the form of a cast iron bed, the upwardly projecting end portions being further secured by the stay bars or connecting rods M.
is a die piece/N having openings N to receive the plungers and boxes hereafter described.
Adj ust- These openings N, two being shown in the present instance, have three sides formed in the'die piece N, the other side being movable and shown as a transverse bar or plate N and this bar N is mounted on pins N secured to the body N. The movable side N can be operated by any-suitable means, and as shown there are provided toggle levers N connected to the side N and-to adjustable bearings N 5 in the rear end M ofthe auxiliary bed. These toggles are operated by a cam N on a shaft N driven in a manner as at n, and mount in recesses in these dies" spring arms n having projecting. flanges n on the two opposite sides of the die', the purpose of which will appearlater.
The die piece N is adjustably mounted in the auxiliary frame M and, .(for the pure pose. of making boxes of different sizes),
may be adjusted therein in any suitable way, as by means of the screws M Cooperating with these dies N are the plungers P which are mounted in a cross piece P supported by the uprights P secured to the main frame. These plungers are adapted to be adjusted in any suitable way, for example, as shown in Patent No. 539,480, to cooperate with'the die piece N, in the various positions of the latter, to make boxes of different sizes and are reciprocated to perform their function in a peculiar way and by the mechanism which will now be described. The unserved blanks to formthe trays are fed over the openings in the die piece N in.
proper. relations thereto, and when the plunger operates it is first moved downward sufliciently to engage the blanks and lightly hold them in their proper places while the hereafter described to move the side N to blanks are severed from the web by the cutters O, O. The next operation of the plungers forces the blanks int-o the dies N and forms the trays, and in order to facilitate this operation and cause the parts to fold in properly, there are provided blocks a at each of the corners and these are preferably adjustably mounted on the die piece N and the bar N as shown. The function of these blocks is to insure the inward folding of'the ends of the. lap portions of the sides of the box against which'the end portions of the boxare folded, and the beveled edges. 11; on the sides of the openings are preferably slightly less in extent than the beveled portions 71. on the ends, so that the side portions of the box blank'will first be turned up before the end portions of the box are turned up as the blank is forced into the die. Thls is of particular advantage to prevent any wearing orrubbing of the adhe-- their normal positions, and then they are pressed directly against the adhesive material without previously rubbing or disturbing it. \V hen' the plunger reaches its lowest position and the box has beenfolded in the manner just described, 1 the plunger rests or dwells in this'position in order to give an opportunity to press the -parts'.of the box together. While the plunger is in thisposi- 15 'tion the bar N is operated by means of the "toggles to exert a heavy pressure onthe ends ofthe box while held by the plunger in the die--N,"and in this way it is possible f to give a very heavy pressure to those portions of the box to which the adhesive is applied and insure the parts adhering. As but one side of the die moves, that'is, the bar N, in order to get an even pressure upon both ends of the box the plunger isarranged so that it can move longitudinally in the die, and to .permit this movement there is provideda spring bearing P in connection with the support 'P,-' which allows the plunger to move forward slightly while in the die. When this is accomplished the toggles are loosened and the bar N moves backward; the plungers rise to the full extent'of their upward movement and are held 1 in'thisposition,*and the springs n grasp 3 the box and strip it from the plunger as it moves upward. While this operation of folding and securing the parts of the box has been taking place, the blanks are severed by the cutters O, and, as before intimated, these operate after] the first downward movement of the plungers while the material is grasped between the plungers and dies. i
v While different forms of cutters may be usedfthere is shown a well known form of shear cutters which are normally held openby a spring'o on a guide pin 0" at each end, and the upper cutter is moved downward v at the proper time to sever the blanks. In this instance there are shown pivotally mounted on the uprights Pt, levers O which rest upon the upper cutter bar 0', and these levers 0 preferably have friction wheels 0 again'strwhich the cams 0 impinge, they being mounted on a shaft 0 operated by a sprocket chain 0 so as to,
depress thecu't-ters quickly and sever the blanks at the proper time. This arrangement of the cutter actuating mechanism permits the necessary adjustment'of the cutters on the auxiliary frame M, "to suit the different sizes of blanks.
- \Vhile different means may be used to operate the plungers, there is shown a preferred construction which accomplishes the results satisfactorily-i In order to facilitate the operation of theplungers they are counterbalanced by means of weights Q connected by'suita-ble connections. as a chain Q passing over the sheave Q and these coun terweights are guided by the pins or rods Q? in brackets Q? and are preferably pro- "vided with take-up springs Q The plungers P are provided at their upper ends with'a cross-slotted bearing P in which operates a crank pin R on the crank wheel R suitably supported in the uprights P These crank wheels are driven by gears R on a shaft R, on which shaft is mounted the variable stop motion for producing the different movements of the plungers, as heretofore described.
The variable stop motion consists of a disk S fast on the shaft R, and this is provided with a dog a projecting beyond its periphery and normally forced outward by a spring 8'; Loosely mounted on the shaft is the cappiece S, provided with a series of notches .9 adapted to be engaged by the dog a. Mounted on the hub of this cap-piece and secured thereto is a-sprocket wheel S which is driven by asuitable sprocket chain S so that it rotates continuously and carries with it the cap S. Slidably mounted upon the shaft 'R is a clutch portion S having'a disk S provided with a series of pins or projections s according to the number of stops desired in connection with the plun'gers. These pins 8 can be variably spaced on the disk S. This clutch portion S is moved longitudinally on the shaft R under the stress of a spring S and is moved in the opposite direction by "the-lever T connected to a rod T on the uprights P, the other end extending into position to be operated by lugs t on a disk 2 mounted on a sleeve T rotating upon a stud T and carrying a sprocketwheel T connected to be driven by the sprocket chain S so as to move-infunison with the other portions of the stop motion. The lugs t are adj ustablymounted in the disk T and there may be any desired number of them corre- "the inner periphery of which is y sponding to the number of stops desired. 1
while loosely mounted on the shaft is under the stress of a friction device shown as the lock nuts S -with a suit-' able washer orfriction gasket between them and the cap-piece, so that there is more or less friction betweenthe to tend to rotate "the sha to carry the dog beyond the stop pine after it has been knocked out of engagement by said pin.
It will now be seen that when the parts are in their normal position the dog engages the notches s and the shaft S is rotating, but hen the dog reaches one of the ins s 1parts and sufficient it is knocked out of engagement with the tooth s and the shaft R immediately stops in this conditionuntil, through the medium of a lug t, the lever T-moves the clutch por-' tion S longitudinally on the shaft R so as to withdraw the pin 8'? out of the path of the dog's, when it immediately again engages the tooth s and the shaft is rotated until 'the dog reaches another pin 3, when the operations are repeated. It will thus be seen that by properly positioning the pins 8 and the lugs i), any desired number of stops or spaces of time between the stops can be obtained. In order to drive these various parts of the die and plunger, there is provided a cut sprocket 'chain connected to the main shaft and sprocket wheel on the shaft U, and from this shaft are driven the cam operating toggle, the cutter and the stop I mechanism, so that the parts coiiperate todevices including a rotating cylinder,
gether in proper times and relations.
Such being the general construction and arrangement of the mechanism, 1t will be seen that it provides'a complete a paratgs e ma e whereby boxes or receptacles may from a'contin'uous web, which web may be printed, cut, scored, adhesive material applied, folded and the adhesive parts attached under heavy pressure in one continuous o eration, and the various devices can be a justedwith relation to each other to make boxes or receptacles of different sizes and characteristics and so as to produce rac-.
tically perfect registry throughouta operations.
