Tubes or containers, collapsible.-Relates to a machine for closing the open ends of flexible tubes or capsules such as are used for paints &c:, and for stamping or printing upon the closed end. Secured to and between the side members A<2> of the frame A is an anvil a', and sliding in slots a in the side members is a plunger a<3>, which is caused to slide by the rotation on a shaft C of members B' having cam-slots b<3>, b<4>. The grooves b<3> engage arms on the plunger a<3>, while the grooves b' engage the cranks D' of a shaft D, journaled in the side members A<2> and shaped as shown to act as a folder. Mounted on a shaft E is a ratchet, which is rotated during the back travel of the cams B<2>so as to operate a lobe-wheel E', which in turn operates levers F<2>, F' so as to lift a socket H carried by a saddle G. The socket H has an adjustable bottom h<2> and serves to carry the tube &c. during the closing of its end. The end of the tube &c. is stamped between a cross-head I operated by an eccentric on the shaft C and a socket I<2>, carrying steel type, an angularly adjustable yoke K<1>, Fig. 5, on a rod K serving to hold the tube. The end of the tube is given a double fold by operating the lever B, so that the plunger a<3> first flattens it, the rotating folder D folds the end first through ninety degrees and then through another ninety degrees, and the plunger, returning during the back travel of the lever B, again flattens the end. The second fold is made by repeating the operation, the tube being automatically lifted a little for this purpose by the ratchet. By a modified adjustment of the tube, its end may be folded three times during two operations of the lever B. Rubber cushions y are inserted in the cam-slots b<3>; the pressure of the cross-bead in the stamping operation is varied, by adjusting the stroke of the plunger a<3>.
