Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Bags.
Inventor: HOLWEG CARL
IPC: B31B29/00
Filed: 1909-02-18
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 4025. Holweg, C. Feb. 18. Paper bags, making. - In a machine for making flat-bottomed paper bags, a sheet of paper, ready cut and pasted, is folded round a former of the type described in Specification 2752/09, and is then fed forward on the former to the mechanism for folding the bottom of the bag. The sheets are conveyed under the former 14, Fig. 1, in the usual manner by strings 3. A driving-shaft 5 actuates vertically reciprocating tubes 10, which carry at the top a rail 13 and bent fingers 12. A plate 15, grooved to pass the strings 3 and mounted on spring-pressed rods 16, which slide in the tubes 10, lifts the sheet off the strings and presses it against the underside of the former 14. The fingers 12 and the rail 13 turn the edges of the sheet round the former as shown in Fig. '6. The upturned edges of the sheet are folded, as shown in Fig. 7, and pressed together by rollers mounted at the ends of pivoted rods 31, 32, which are swung to and from the sheet by eccentrics on the shaft 5. The paper tube so formed is then seized by a reciprocating gripper 46 and drawn to the end of the former, where it is held firmly by the descent of a gripping-plate 54. Two crushers 60, 61, pivoted to the frame and actuated by cams on the shaft 5, turn through 90 degrees and tuck the ends of the paper tube between the triangular tongues, Fig. 10, at the ends of the plates 53 which make up the former. The lower plate 53 of the former is advanced periodically by a cam on the shaft 35, so that the folded blank is pushed off the former and is then drawn beneath a pressing-plate 78 by a gripper 72. The blank moves forward until its mouth rests against a spreader 90, Figs. 1 and 13, and then the plate 78 descends and presses the blank. The spreader next turns through 180 degrees, and spreads out the bottom flap. The plate 78 has pins 79 which, as the plate descends, engage in the forked end of an oscillating rod 80. When the bottom flap is spread, the plate 78 is advanced by the rod 80 until the blank is seized by endless-feed bands 92, 93. The blank then passes under a rotating creaser, Fig. 14, consisting of a grooved shaft 106 and two blades 102, which creases the bottom to facilitate folding the corners. The bottom is next pasted by any suitable means, and the bag is carried by a second feed-band 107 under a cross-bar 108, Fig. 17, which turns down one corner of the square bottom. The other corner is turned down by an oscillating folder 104, and the finished bag is delivered from the machine.

Filed: 1909-06-12
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 13,837. Williams, J. K. June 12. Vulcanizing tyres &c. - In a vulcanizing- mould for tyres and the like in which a layer of pervious material is used for holding the article in position, means are provided for eliminating unequal tension in this layer. Mould sections 3, 4 with lugs 5, 6, for clamping them together, embrace a mandrel 1. The sections contain cavities 9 with steam inlets 10, and cavities 11, 13 having inlets 12, 14 respectively, the steam from which comes into direct contact with the tyre. Layers of pervious material, reinforced by material such as wirecloth, are held in grooves 22 by rings 20. This fabric is supported by ridges 27 between which are openings 28 for the passage of steam from the chamber 11. As an alternative, the fabric may be supported by rings of heavy wire 31, openings 30 being provided for the passage of steam. In assembling the mould, a former is placed on the mandrel 1, and the mould sections are placed in position. The fabric is thus stretched into shape, the ends passing through the opening 16 between the sections, and being held in position by clamping - rings 18 on sloping shoulders 17. If the mould is to be used for completing the vulcanizing of a partlycured tyre, recesses 34 with steam inlet 35 may be provided for admitting steam to the sides of the tyre, the provision of a layer of fabric in this case being unnecessary.

Abstract: 14,263. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Jan. 25. Distributing matrices. -Fount separation, prior to distribution, is effected by means of a switch-like device co-operating with notched matrices to force them aside into engagement with separating-bars, which are subsequently moved apart. In one arrangement for two founts, basal notches 19, Fig. 7, in the matrices are engaged by a triangular blade 26, Fig. 3, which diverts the matrices so that notches 20, on opposite sides for the two founts, engage either of two bars 27, 28. The matrices are advanced by a driving- device 22, Fig. 5, having three drivers 23, 24, 25, of which the two outer ones are spring-pressed so that they yield on striking the frame. The matrices are carried by the central driver 23 over the blade 26 and on to the bars 27, 28, which are then moved apart by a rack-and-pinion device so that the two groups of matrices lie in the path of the outer drivers 24, 25. The driving-device, which has retired, then makes a second stroke and carries the matrices up to the distributers of the two magazines. The matrices are lifted singly into engagement with t ie distributing-bars in known manner. In a modification, the basal notches 19 are raplaced by notches formed in either side of the matrices and adapted to be engaged by sorting-ribs 53, Fig. 9, on the sides of a box formed of two separable parts 51, 52. The ribs 53 are bevelled at their ends so that as the matrices are pushed into the box they are diverted to engage by their notches 20 on the receiving-bars 27, 28. Similarly the sorting of the matrices may be effected by bevels on the bars 27, 28, in which case only the upper matrix notch 20 is required. More than two kinds of matr:ces can be separated by means of additional sorting-bars arranged at different levels or of different heights. The blade 26, Fig. 3, may be arranged at the side of the sorting-device so that the matrices are shifted vertically. In order to make room for the sorting- device on existing machines, the second elevator which lifts the matrices to the level of the distributer is given a lateral movement during its ascent.
