Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Pasting Together Sheets of Paper, Board or the like.
Inventor: HARTMANN PAUL
Filed: 1910-07-13
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 16,700. Hartmann, P. July 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets; sheet separators. - In a machine for pasting sheets of paper on the surafce of paste-boards, the pile 2 of paper sheets is supported on a table 1 capable of reciprocating vertically under the influence of a weight 3 and a cord 7 attached at one end to the table and at the other to a pivoted suction box 10. The box 10 is pivoted on an axle 14, and is encircled by a normally - moving endless web of felt 15 passing around the rollers 12, 13, the former of which is driven by a chain or cord 21 and a jaw clutch from a constantly - driven wheel 20. The box 10 is oscillated by a counterbalanced lever 16, which is moved to take a sheet by a cord 26<1> attached to a handlever, the clutch controlling the feed of the roller 12 being simultaneously disengaged. As the box 10 descends to meet the rising table, the suction causes the top sheet to adhere to the felt band, which, on the ascent, is fed forward to deliver the sheet between rollers 22, the controlling clutch being thrown in by the re-ascent of the lever 16 under the influence of the handlever. To guide the sheet between the rollers, a lever 24 is brought into the position shown by the engagement of the roller 13 with a crank on the axle of the lever 24. Passing between the rollers 22, the sheet receives a supply of adhesive from a roller 33, and is then turned over by a device 34 on to a travelling band 35 passing over a suction box 36, a transverse central strip of which is imperforated to allow the sheet to extend sideways. The pasteboard is fed on to the pasted sheet by any suitable means, and the two pass together between fast-running rollers 38, 39, the former of which are provided with rubber bands running in a trough of water to prevent spreading of the adhesive. The faced board may then pass between felt pressing - rollers, and may be delivered by any suitable device.

Button - attaching machines. - The buttonattaching machine, described in Specifications 4051/04 and 14,011/05, which is arranged to stitch on a four-hole button by a set of stitches concluded with fastening-stitches and with the thread ends cut and brought to the underside of the work is modified so as to secure a fourhole button by two separate sets of stitches each set being concluded as described above. This is attained by causing the controlling-cam to trip the stop-gear at the completion of each set of two stitches; the movement of the buttonclamp being stopped and the operation of the thread cutters and the thread-end holder being occasioned in the manner described in the abovementioned Specifications. The button-clamp, comprising upper and lower members 14, 17, pressed together by a spring 19 is vibrated laterally to locate the stitches alternately in each of a pair of holes by means of a cam-lever 36 and a cam-groove on the rear of the disk 30. When six such stitches are formed, the lateral movement is suspended and the fastening-stitches are made. Then, one of the four lugs 69 trips the stop-gear which brings into operation the thread-cutters and the thread-end holder. The longitudinal movement of the clamp to carry the needle from one pair of holes to the other is effected by a cam-lever 49, the box-shaped end 46 of which engages adjustably with a block 51 secured on a pin 45 of the clamp. If the block 51 is raised into line with the pin 47 of the lever, the clamp is brought into a central position and is ready for stitching-on two-hole buttons.
