Il PROVmRT n( MACBIINEB POR PAPER Bxlc"4F m sensor. :sums w in om Lem:- rmnr ma To all whom it may concern Be it known that Sims B. Tonny, formerly of Terrysville, in the county of Litchlield and State of Oonuocticnt, but now of Waterbury', in the county of Xen Haven and State aforesaid, has invented n new and useful Machine for Making Paper Boxes, of which the following is n full, clem', and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the said machine;

Figure 2, a vertical transverse section through the same at the line z x of tig. 1;

Figure 3, a vertical longitudinal section at the line y 'g of fig'. 2, showing the relative position of the socket, mandrel, guide-ring, pressure-roller, and clamp while forming the box;

Figure 4, a similar section, showing the position of somo of said parts when moved away from 'the press- 4urrsroller;

Figure 5, a view in perspective of an apparatus for folding the side strips oi' the box;

Figure 6, a vertical transverse section through the same, showing the positionof the parts before the strip is folded;

Figure 7, a similarriew after tbe strip is folded;

Figure 8 shows the form of the pieces which compose the box; :md

Figme J is a vertical section through the finished box, showing the projecting ends.

T he machine is designed to manufacture paperboxes :nnl lids for the same, the bottom of the boxnnd-the top of the lid beingnf greater diameter than the body of either, or, in other words, the bottom und the top projecting beyond the periphery oi the box,

and fonningwhat is known tu the trade ns n. Flencb edge, as shown in tig. 9, and, toattain this end,

lMy invention consists-' First, in providing means for adjusting and retain-V lng, in its proper relation to the operative mechanism, the disk of paper which oonstitutes'the hond or end of the box.

Second, in providing means for applying to the disk of paper the strips which form the side or bqdy ofthe The mechanism -ls mounted on a strong frime or` bed-plate, A.

A shaft, B, st its outer end with a. crank, b, by which to turn it, und ntits inner end with' a clamp, O, having spurs c,

part nl the sama' projecting from its face, to insure its turning the disk or cud ot' the box, as hereinafter more fully explained.

The shai't )l is capable not only of turning freely,

ward movement heilig limited by the bosse', iig. 3, whiuh abnts against the bearing B, and acts ns a stop to the endwise movement of the-clamp C.

A slinit, D, rotate freely, and also to more cnllwise therein toward or from the clump C, the shaftsD and B being in thel sume axial plane.

A mandrel, E, is mounted ou the inni-i' end oi' the shaft D, with which it revolves, and spurs e are provided on its face for a purpose similar to that of the spurs on the face o. the clamp C.

Pins f, toward the rear ot' the mandrel E, act as stopslo prevent a ring, mandrel, from slipping oif the outer or rear end oi' .the mandrel.

This mandrel slides endwise, and turns freely withipvn. cylindrical socket or casing, G, fixed to the bearing Studs g, projecting inward through this casing, serve 'as stopsto thebnckwald movement oi the ring 1-,\within the casing, but permit the mandrel to be withdrawn further back than the ring, and the finished box is thus pressed olf from the mandrel by the ring,

as the mandrel is withdrawn pastvtbe studs g.

A lever, H, rocking on a iiilurnm, 7|, is secured at one end to a tension spring,l, shown in dotted lines Ain iig. l, the tendency of which spring is always `to and thus keep the mandrel or way, J, haring a which serves to hold the lever out ol' contant with the shalt D, so as to permit the mandrel to'be retracted within the casing G.

Au inclined plate, K, is secured upon the frame in discharging the finmounted in uprights 1 B B, is provided l front ofthe casing Gr, and is provided atits inner edge with a flange, k, and also with a ledge, k', arranged parallel to the Gauge k, and projecting across the ofthe mandrel when in operation, so as to bear upon the strip o n the mandrel with its face, while its edge smooths the strip upon the projecting edge of the disk ou theside opposite the ange iu the pressure-loller, thus forming a groove or guideway for the strip which ybinds the edges of the side and head ofthe box together.

A grooved pressure-roller or shaping chuck, L, is mounted in bearings in a. rocking-bar, M, vibrating vertically on n pivot, m, and counterbalanced at its outer end by a weight, N.

One of the bearings, m', is removable, sans to permit chucks of different sizes to be substituted for L.-

The pressure-roher or chuck L is thus mounted dibut also of sliding endwise in its bearings, its bnckis mounted in bearings D` Dz, so as to F, which moves freely on the keep the free or rear end of the lever pressed against
