Letters Patent No. 89,319, dated April 27, 1869; mass April 17, 1869,

moms: hon Esme soon-messalho Schedule referred to in these Letters Extent and. mnkingpart ofcamo- Be it vknown that we, Tnnornmn Lsnsmn and JOHN A; S corr,of theoity of Wheeling, in the State of West'Yirgini-a, have invented a oertainnew and useful Improvement on Machines for Wrapping Sugar- Kisses and. Making Paper Boxes; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of."the construction and operation of the same, reference. being hadto the accompanying drawings and to the letters and marks thereon, which said drawings form part of this specification, and represent a'machincandparts thereof, constructed under our inventiou,

V Figure 1 being atop view of said machine Figure 2,;a side view thereof; Figure 3, a front view of the machine; and Figures 4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9, views in detail of car tain parts of themacli'lne.

In all of thesefignres, where like parts are shown,

like marks and letters are used to indicate like parts.-

This machine is more specially intended for'wrapping sugar-kisses,.but may be used for covering or wrapping other articles of the same form and shape as the kiss, or of other shape and form, and may be used for pressing-paper into form forimaking paper boxes, and other like articles, a former then being used, around which the paper will be pressed, instead ofthe sugar-kiss. 1

, The operative parts-of this machine are'snpported by and attached to suitable heme-bars, or pieces, 'of

which a b c are vertical, and d, horizontal.

' ,In operation, the paper for forming the cover,"or wrapper, is fed along, a piece of the proper size cut ofl,'a.nd the kiss being carriedforward and over the paper, the two are moved downward, the wrapper turned upon and around the kiss, and then, by the continued operation of the' machine, the wrapped, or hovered kiss is delivered from the machine.

A. cross-head,,e, connected, by rods, f, to at upper cross-head, g, is the first, or main means put in motion. In the machine here represented, this motionis to he made by the hand of the operative. In a ma; ohiuomoved'by motive-power, a cam on the end of a fshaft, at about thei'point h, would take the place of the hand, the movcmentrthus produced by the hand,

or by the cam, being downward, the springs 41 causing theopposite upward movement. In machines actuated by motive-power,both of these movements couldbe produced by-an eccentric on the shaft, instead of the cam.

The paper'is fed onward over the roller j, havingits hearings in the vertical bars 0, and between the rollersk'and I, having their hearings in the'vertical bars I), this feeding heingproduced by the ratchet m,

on the end of the shaft n ofthe roller 1. and the pawl.

0, on the lever p.

flat spring, under its rear end.

The lever 11 is pivoted on the shaft n. Its upward and downward movements are caused by the bar Q,

which is operated by the movements of the cross-heads through the interposed bar r, attached. to the cross head 9. i

The blank. piece, toforni the wrapper, is out oh by the cutters, which is, at itsone end, pivoted to the rear side of the cross-beamv t, and, at'its other end, clamped and guided by the spring is, attached to the i'rainevbar a. This cutter is moved downward, tocut, by the vertical bar 1:, aiiixed to it, and upward by a The bar 1:. has upon its upper end a'donble-ieced projection, w, and when the cross-head 9 travels down; ward, the curved face of the studs, attached thereto-,

is traversed by-the outer face of the projection w,'so that the cutter is forceddownward, the other face of the stud, at, being traversed by the inner face of w, on theppper movement of thecross-head.

I The kisses are carried forward under the. presser, vor press-heady, by the receiver, :2, into the box, or

receiving-part, z, of which they may he fed vby hand,

or by a suitably-constructed hopper.

The receiving-part a" has spring sides, with'both" ends, or only one, lippcd, at g/ for the better holding .in, and, at the proper time, o delivering the kiss, or

rather of allowing it to pass on downwards.

- These spring sides may he, as shown by the drawhigh, a; continuation of the sides of the receiver, or independent flat springs, attached thereto.

The forward or feeding-movement of this receiver 2 is caused by the spring of, attached toits outer end and to the cross-beam it, while its backward move ment is efl'ected by the inclined face w, of the her 1:,

acting on the roller 1t,th'e bar v travelling through the slot in the receiver, shown by fig. 6 of the drawings.

The ba'r v is attached to the cross-heed g, and moved with and by it. 7 v

Both the forward and backward movements of the receiver might be produced by a vnoitably-faced bar,

'and'thns the spring 2: be dispensed with.

The presser y is afliiged' to a cross bar', t, holes in the ends of which show it to traverse up and down on the rods f.

Springs 8, attached to the bar t" and to the crosshead g, have a tendency to draw upward the bar t and the presser.

.-A flat bar, 1*, is so pivoted on the upper side of the cross-head g, controlled-by a spring, 4, on the one hand, and by an inclined-faced-npright, p', and a screw,

a, on the other'hand, that when thecross-head g is at the end of its upward movement, and for a brief term of its'downward movement, the end of theirs! r is over apart of the head of the presser y, as is shown by fig. 1 of the drawings. By this arrangement of means, the presser, for a short period of the downward movement of the cross-head, is carried downt carrying up the presser, is brought up against the cross-head 9. During this movement ,of the presser downward, the wrapper is turned up, by the sides'of the kiss, and, over the top of the'kiss, the lastniamed turning being effected by the recesses It, fig. 4, and j, fig. 8, the first being in the fixed back-plate i', and the second being. in the spring front plate It, the springs g and f of which force the kiss and wrapper under the edges of the recesses' The continued-downward movement of the cross- 7 heads carries the presser down again, the upper part,

or surface of the bar t, then being in contact with the lowersurihce of the cross-head g. During this further downward movement, the ends in, of the hinged plates of the presser, turn down the upper ends of the wrapper, while the plates 2 are forced down, bringing out their toothed sides, 8, as indicated by thered lines of fig. 8, which press in the edges of the wrapper, and the lower surface of the ends of the wrapper, being in contact with the face of the curved springs b, are also forced up, so that this further downward movement completes the wrapping of the kiss.

The delivery of the kiss from the machine is caused.

by the downward movement acted upon. A spring, a, restores the plates 2' to the horizontal position, on the upward movement of shown by the black lines of fig. 8. p

A stud, or pin, at a", on the inner surface of'the prcsser, on the upper movement, comes in contact with the surface b", of the 0108811382131 t, and prevents the further upward movement of the presser.

In thecompleting movement of the kisses, the springs c" finish the wrapping of the kiss.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv 1. The arrangement of the cross-heads g and c, with the guide-rods f and springs t, and the presser y, with the bar 1, spring q, screw 0', and upright p, for operating the press-er, substantially as herein recited.

2. The hinged plates m and 'n, on the end of the presser, as and for the purposes described.

3; The kiss-receiver herein set forth. 4. The hinged plates 2', constructed and operated as described.

5. Therecessed plates h','in combination with the presser, for the purposes recited.

6. The arrangement of the springs 37 and d.
