Granted: 1901-08-10
Abstract: 13,966. Mehlhope, C. E. July 9. Trays.-Rolled edges or beads are formed at the top or bottom of paper vessels. Fig. 2 shows the dies and holder for forming a bead on the upper end of a paper pail, and Fig. 3 for turning or spinning over the bottom. The machine employed is similar to an ordinary drill press, being provided with a plunger rotated by counterweighted gear- ing. The die e, attached to the plunger, is fitted with a spring disc f, which enters the pail and pre- vents its rotation, the pail being suitably secured in a holder c. The die continuing to descend strikes the supplementary die i and compels the projecting edge of the paper to follow the section of the groove h. The die i is pushed down below the edge of the inner flange or tucker j, which as- sists in rolling in the edge. For making a shallow vessel, tray, dish, or lid, the operative parts are suitably shaped. To form a bead at the bottom of the pail, the edge is curled inwards. The pail is placed upon the holder m, Fig. 3, which carries the rising and falling disc n. The disc supports the paper as it is turned over by the recess g in the die e, and, as the die descends, the edge of the paper is pressed over the descending disc until the bead is formed. A suitable lubricant, such as paraffin, is used, or, where a rotating die cannot be employed, the die may be heated and the paper moistened. For gripping a dish or tray while the beading is being performed, the dish may be held by means of a band and lever.

Moulding.-A machine for forming cores of green sand upon core bars has roller bearings D to support the core bar C and a reciprocating bar G with a curved or bevelled front edge to press the sand into place upon the core bar, which is rotated by a short shaft Q<1> driven by worm gearing from a pulley shaft L. The sand is supplied to the bar from a slope K. The bar G rests on rollers H carried by brackets J on the bed A, the bearing-blocks J<1> of the rollers being adjustable to and from the core bar by screws l, to determine the size of the core. The rollers may be angularly set and adjusted for the bar to be inclined to the core bar to produce taper cores. The bar is reciprocated by an eccentric and rod s from the pulley shaft. The bearings D are vertically adjustable in pedestals E by rack-and-pinion gearing operated by worm spindles. A collar F of the diameter of the finished core is attached to the core bar at each end of the core, both collars being preferably removable. The connection is conveniently made by means of a shoulder and pin on the core bar and a slot in the collar. The connection between the shaft Q<1> and the core bar is made by a sleeve coupling with a bayonet joint, allowing core bars to be interchanged. An enlargement may be formed on ths core, such as is required for the socket of a pipe, by recessing or shouldering one end of the bar. The Provisional Specification refers to the use of a roller instead of the bar G.
