NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF BOX-MAKING MACHINE.

Patented Feb. 18, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Cannes HOLLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lockort, in the county of Niagara and State of eiv York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Box-Making Machines, of which the followin is a full, clear, and exact descri tion, suc as will enable others skilled in t e art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to machines -for making boxes, and more particularly to the mechanism for applying adhesive to the box elements whereby they may be'securely held in assembled relation.

()ne of the objects of the invention is the provision of a practical means for applying glue to the flanges of boxes in order to retain necks or collars therein.

Another object of the invention is the production of simple mechanism'for eiliciently gluing the inner walls of a box in definite places.

Other objects will be in part obvious and part pointed out hereinafter. I The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will-be exemplified in the construction here'- inafter set forth, and the scope of the ap li'- cation of which will be indicated in the olloiving claims.

In the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 represents a rear view of a box machine, with .the gluing device associated therewith' Fig. 2 represents a side view of a rtion oi the machine; Fig. 8 represents a stall plan of the picker; Fig. 4 represents a box collar in perspective; Fig. 5 represents abox body in pers .ctivey Fig. 6 represents the as scan 10 a sectional elevation of the glui device;

Figs 8 and 9 are detailsyFig. 10 is a plan of the glue tank and the dauber; Figs. 11, 12 and 13am detail views; Fig. 14 is a plan of the mechanism for feedin the boxes to thepicker; Fig. 15 is a s e elevation of Fig. 14; Fig. 16 is an elevation of the picker from the front.

Referring now more. specifically to the box body, collar and cord; Fig. 7 is drawings, it may be noted that the invention forming the subject-matter of this. application is a' division of applicants prior application, filed January 16, 1911, Serial No.

002,862, and is herein described in its relaor neck "being preferab y 'com osed of an open rectan ular element 6 a apted to be inserted wit in the body.and to be ad- 'hesively attached to the inner Walls of the flange 1. The collar projects above the upper c of the flan forming therewith a shou der 3. In or or that the body and collar may be etliciently attached, adhesive is inter between them, and in the present ein diment the adhesive is preferably a plied to the inner walls of the box bodies,

e collars being subsequently telescoped with the bodies, as explained, and the assembled elements subsequently pressed to obtain secure adherence.

Any suitable mechanism may be employed to feed the box bodies into and out of gluing sition, but the present embodiment rovides an endless carrier comprisin a belt 275 'passing over ways 271, which ,ielt feeds the boxes to position beneath a rearwardly projecting plate 288, where they remain at rest and from which position they are fed laterall to the mechanism for applying glue to in interior.

1 28 9 is a glue supply reservoir or at r0- vided with chambered wallsthrougi w ioh steam may-be passed to heat said. pot. This pot is located to the left of the angle irons 270'. idin the belt with its edge approximatel leve therewith, and extending over said pot are two sup rting and guiding plates 290 for the box ies. These plates extend at ri ht an les to the wa s 271, being provid with or tree 291, between and on' which the box bodies slide belt, mechanism. is provided for intermit-- tently moving them successively along the guides 290 to position over the glue in the pot. p

Projecting upwardly from the bottom of the glue fpot at a point corresponding to the center 0 Y the box when placed in glue applying position over the pot. is'a guide rod or sleeve 293 having a deflecting or cam portion comprising an uiwardly and outwardly flaring, preferab y conical, upper portion 294 for a purpose to be hereina ter described. Secured within the sleeve 293 is a rod 295 having a shoulder-296 extending upwardly from the end of the conical portion 294 of the sleeve 293. Mounted on the guide rod or sleeve 293 and adapted to reciprocate up and down thereon is a sup rt or plate 297 preferably elongated, and aving at its central ortion, surrounding the guide rod, prefera ly four lugs 298 spaced 90 apart and servin as journal bearings for the axes of the gue applyin arms or dauber fingers 299 0 an expansib e dauber, the fin ers of which are ivoted respectivelv to saicllm g s.- Each dau r finger is gradually widened or outwardly tapered toward its upper extremity and terminates in a rojecting portion 300 and a preferabl p ain narrow face 301, the length of the g ue line to be a plied, in this case substantial}; correspondin to the length of the si es or walls of t e box body with which they con: tact, respectively. Passing through each of the arms 299 is a cam 302 adapted to co6pcrate with the cam portion 294 and comprising an ad'ustable screw which may be locked in a justed position by means of the nut 303. The inner end of each screw contacts with the sleeve 293 throughout the movement of the pla te 297 up and down thereon. The dauber fingers 299 are connected in diametrically opposed 305 extendin upwardly from pairs by means'of springs 304 which tend to retain the cams 302 against the rod 293. The end portions of the elo ted are secured'to supporting an 'ng rods plate and and downwardly being curv 806. The rods 306 terall into the connecting in connection with the rods 805 are designed to move up and down to introduce the dauber fingers 299 alternately into the box body, and into the glue, submer ng the tingers n the glue, and in order t at this operation may be' performed the following mechanism is provided: The shaft 278 is extended to a convenient point near the glue carrier and on its end portion is provided late 297- with the offset roller 311 which contacts with the cam 307. The other end of the rock arm 309 is pivotally connected to a cross plate 312 at the central portion thereof, said cross plate being yieldin'gly connected to the glue carrier connecting rods 306 by means of the springs313. The rods 306 pass through openings in each end of the plate 312 and ure.retained thereon by the nuts 314 ongagin" the screw threaded ends of the rods 306. s uts 315 are rovided on each rod 306 between which an the exq tremit of the plate 312 the springs 313are locatet. The nuts 315 serve as a means for adjusting the-tension of the springs 313 and may serve at times as stops to limit the upward motion of the glue carrier.

The box bodies are placed in an inverted position on the belt which leads them 'toward the glue carrier. That is, they are placed on the belt with their open sides down, and when they are fed into position 0 over the glue applying device.they present their open sides to said device, and the flanges of the plates 290, which support the boxes in glue applyin position, are of such width as not to interfere with the application of glue to-the inner sides of the Walls of the box. As the shaft 278 rotates, the high portion of the cam 307. will operate the rock arm 309 to elevate the plate 207, and as said plate rises the cams 302 will be 11:; pressed outwardly by the flared up )er end 294 of the sleeve 293 carrying the Q( ges 301 of the dauberfingers outwardly against the inner face of the walls of the box opposite thereto, the glue on said arms being thus deposited upon the walls of the box, preferably in a thin line. As the glue is deposited on the walls of the box the lllillt'h' 290 serve to brace, or, as it'were, reinforce the walls, preventing any substantial beud- 1!: ing of said walls or movement thereof away from the gluing fingers; The position of the flaring portion 294 is such that the arms 29!) will not have been pressed outwardly u sufficient distance to en age the walls of the 11-5 box until said arms shall have entered the box. It is preferred to so proportion the pzrts of this gluer that the line of glue shall applied to the inside wall of the box a short distance from its edge and it will be 'counter of abnormal resistance, such, for in- 1 stance, asmi ght' be occasioned by the improper article ield in the path of the dauber. i

sitioning of agbox' or by'any other .In connection with ithej glue applying mechanism 'just described, means are provided for throwing the same into "and out of operation without interfering with'the continued operation of the other portions of the machine. This is'apcomplished by malr-i ing the arm 309 in two' parts 316 and 317 pivotally connected at 318. Preferably the part 4316 consists-of links pivoted "at 318 p P s end of e latter.- Piv'otally supported. between the pair of links 316 is a latch 319, which may. engiage'a shoulder 320 on the part 317, and w e'iithe latch 319 engages the shoulder 320 the parts 316 and 317 arelocked in ition and to ther form an arm of the lever 309. 'hen the latch'319 'is disengaged from the shoulder 320, movement of the part 317 by the cam 30? will no longer be effectively communicated to the part 316 so as to raise the cross plate 312 and, in con: sequence, the glue car-gin device. Aspring 321 is connected to e fiateh and the arm 316 to yieldingly maintain the latchin engagement with the shoulder 320. Thus the atch may be readily disengaged, as will be obvious. When the. roller 31]. on the rock arm309 is en aged with the .low part of the cam 30?.the g ue carrier has dropped to its lowest position and is submerged in the glue, the lowering of the glue carrier being due to gravity assisted by a spring 322 attached at one end to the extremity of the rock arm near the central portion of. the cross plate 312 and at its other end to aconvenient point on the frame of .the machine. In order' to provide for the smooth and accurate operation of the rods 306 an elongated bearing sleeve 324 projects upwardly from the interior of the glue pot, the same being secured to the inner bottom portion of the pot by a screw threaded connection, permitting its removal. One of the rods306 extends through thesleeve 324 and throu h the bottom of the pot. The other simi r rod engages vertical and elongated bearings 325 in the flanges provided at the to and hottom of the pot. The upperi end -o the bearthat not only is a. practical and efiicient glu e ng mechanism provided, but also over the gluepofia'prefera ly constructed l'sl'epvfh 324 is tiituated' above tllile glue -eve o e pot, uspermitting e free pass'a ofthe' rod 306 without contacting the g no, and also avoiding leakage. .-It will be observed. {mm -the-forego ing escription pp whic may bereadily taken apart and packed or repaired-as may be desirable. 'The mechanism for moving or feed ng the bo'x'bodifinw glue-ap lying position as follows: At the u perrighthand portion of the machine is a ame portion consisting 'te sides of the arm 317 at the of substantially an I-beam horizontally arran ed and extending'transversely of the mac ine; and comprising the upstanding ,web 326.. The upper flange of the I-beam supports a guideplate in which is a longitudmal groove having an undercut wall 327, between which and 'a spaced removable plate'328, slides a guide rod 329 of a rec-i rocatory cross head. Besides rod 329 the reciprocating cross headcomprises an inclined cross bar 330 connecting one end of the-rod 329 with a lowenrod 331 su ported and sliding on the bottom flange oi the I- beam and in the angle where said flange joins-the I-beam. The rods 329 and 331 are in proper alinement during its reciprocation and to permit the cross head to have an ulnplitude of reciprocation eorres ending with the distance from the end 0 the feeding: channels for the bodies to the glue applying positionof said bodies. Pivotally connected to the bottom end portion of the cross head is a picker rod 332 extending longitudinally of the,cross head and provided with a transversely projecting arm 333 and a downwardl v'and laterally projecting picker 334. the latter being adapted to engage and mow: the box bodies from the feeding guideway' to-glue applying position as the cross head reciprocates. In order that the picker may accomplish this result, the inner end of the guideway is provided with a supporting and guiding plate 335, on which the arm 331-, plays when moving in one direction. switch comprising a tapered rod 336, one end -of which'is pivoted to an ppstanding wall at 337, has its other end resting .upon the guide-way 335 at the end toward which the box bodies are fed and is yieldingly pressed against said guideway 335 by thev skiing 338 engaging a pin 339 projecting t ough a curv slot 340 inthe upstanding wall 341. As the cross head reeiprocatesthe picker'334 at the beginning of its inward movement is in a position to engage an outer wall of the box body which is at the end of the guideway formed by the bars 270, the arm 333 re'stin upon the guideway 335. As the cross hea moves inwardly the picker feeds the box into glue applying position on lp'ortm bar 333 has pa beneath and beyond e switch 336. As the picker reciprocates in the opposite direction the switch will be yieldingy held .in the path of the rod'333- by its spring 338, and the picker will accordingly be ifted as the rod 333 follows the upper surface of the switch and thuscarriedover the succeeding box body, which at this time has been brought to the end of the feeding gaidewa'y. The rod 333 atthe end of its reci tion drops. from the end of the switch onto the guideway 835, thus' carrying the picker into position of a sutlieient length to retain the cross head the guides 290, at which 'tion the sup- 55 1 plying position and feeds it-forw to another box which is abouttolbe 347 adjustahly connected -to a disk wheel formed by the plates 351.

in the nectionyas at 342.

'yieldingly held scribed, i ntermi the glue applyingface of the dauber "'is caused; y

into glue applying position. In order that the picker may be accurately positioned with 'respect to the box bodies as theyrest guideway it is'adjustably connected to the picker arm 332 by a pin and slotcon- An, in order to provide for the accurate placing of the box in glue applying position the picker arm 332 is adjustably connected to the cross. head 331 by means of a pivoted arm 343 having an opening through which the arm 332 extends and in which arm means of the pin 344. Thearm 333 is in contact with the guideway 335 by means of a spring 345 attached to the upper partof the cross head and to the member 343," preferably by means of the screw 344 which passes through a perforation in the lower 'end of the spring Reciprocating motion is communicated to the picker through the cross head by means of a connecting rod 346 pivoted at one end to an intermediate portion of the cross bar 330 of the cross head, the other end of the connecting rod being joined to a crank pin 348 journaled through an intermediate portion of the web 326mm] located in front thereof. The rear end-of the shaft of the wheel 348 is provided with a bevel pinion 349 which meshes with a bevel gear 350 on the shaft of the carrier. As the carrier shaft intermittently rotates, as previously dettent rotary motion is 'com-. municated t0 the wheel 348 andthe picker thus intermittently reciprocates in accordance with the movement of the carrier.

The box bodies, after glue has been applied thereto in the manner hereinbefore described, are fed-'successively and automati cally from glue applying position into a downwardly open channel or guideway in lino with the channel formed by the bars. 290. This channel is:practically a continuation of the channel 291 and is formed by depending plates" 351 secured to opposite sides of the lower head of the I-beam. The plates 351 are pro'ided with flanges 352 to support the edges of the boxes'in' their passage through the guideway. As the picker reciprocates and draws a succeeding box body into'glue applying position the forward end of said y .e'nfages the box which had been previously ed glue ap l away.

from such position and to the 'gu eway n will be observed that the as am ment of- -the.-dauher, or more particularly 4118 .u ward movement 0 the late izfl'i aiidthe ateral deflection-caused )y. the cam; 294', beingthus aresultant of movements in paths at an angle toeachgl ibec'adjustably secured by supporta other. Thus the dauher'tingers move upwardly and simultaneously outwardly so that when the it is not only-pressed a buti'ubbed thereon, e rubbing-not only more efliciently glues the box, but the more ment'causing the rubbing enables a dauber with a thin edge to beemployed andyet a relatively wide line of glue to be applied. Thus by the above described construction are accomplished, among others, the objects 'hereinbefore ref to,
