Bon-bon crackers.-In a bon-bon wrapper machine, any number of sheets or webs are successively gummed and pressed together, explosive snaps are inserted by hand at any desired parts, and the composite sheet is cut so that each part contains at least one snap. In the apparatus shown, a sheet of paper a<1> is unwound from the roll a and guided over a gumming-device a<3> to a roller a<6>, where it is met by a web b of crepe or the like from the tension device c and the roll b<1>. The two-part web a', b is passed under an adjustable pressure roller d and joined to webs e, f, which are unwound from rolls e<1>, j<1>, are passed over the gumming-rollers e<3>, and receive the explosive snaps at A. The composite web is met by the gummed webs h, i at the spring- controlled rollers g, g<1>, and by a web k<2> at the pressure and feed rollers k, k<1> of the cutting-device. A conveyer n carries the cut parts to an adjustable receiver 0. The tension devices, such as c, used for regulating the feed of the crepe or other web comprise a bar c' fulcrumed on a spindle c<2>, to which are connected two uprights c<3>, joined by a cross-bar. The end c<12> is held to the framework of the machine by a spring c<13> A cord c<6> attached to the end c<5> passes round a pulley c<7> to a wheel c<8> connected by a cord c<9> to a pivoted lever c<10>. The other end of this lever is joined by the adjustable spring c<11> to a lever p<11> carrying the cutter. As the cutter rises and the web is fed forward, the cord c<6> is drawn taut and the cross-bar of the uprights c<3> brought against the sheet ; when the feed is stopped as the cutter falls, the cross-bar is thrown back, and the web hangs loose. Each gumming- device comprises a hopper e<5>, in which is rotated a thin adjustable milled wheel e<4> adapted to engage any one disk of an adjustable and fluted roller e<3> over which the web is passed, and so transfer adhesive to any part of the web.

Abstract: 14,306. Justice, P. M., [Plant, T. G.]. June 18. Loose-nailing. - In a nail assorting and delivering mechanism of the type described in Specification 11,119/09, the nails are fed sideways to the receiver. The nails move down a raceway, Fig. 8, and pass singly into an oscillating nail-feeder 80, by which each nail is carried to one side and snapped into a chamber in a rotating nail-receiver 47 by a series of stationary bevelled fingers, which pass into slots in the nail-feeder. When one nail has been fed, the receiver is rotated to bring the next chamber into nail-receiving position. When the desired number of nails have been fed into the receiver, a bottom plate is released, and the nails fall into a carrier for removal to the nailing - devices. The nails are contained in a hopper which is provided with adjustable lateral shelves, an adjustable door, and an agitator to prevent clogging. A bucket-wheel lifts the nails on to a raceway formed by two outwardly rotating fluted rolls 5, Fig. 3. A couple of spring plates 34, 35 above the flutings, and a spring- supported nail stop 44, ensure that only properly - positioned nails pass to the external raceway. The external raceway is provided with an adjustable cover-plate, and has at its lower end an independently pivoted cover-plate, which may be lifted to observe the passage of the nails into the receiver. This lower coverplate has a nail-stop and a side extension 65, Fig. 8, to control the heads of the nails as they pass into the receiver. A spring arm 108 projects through a slot into the raceway, and is moved to accelerate the passage of the nails by a spring and a projection 113 on the nail-feeder 80. The nail - receiver 47 is provided with a worm-wheel engaging a worm fixed to a shaft which has a rotary movement and a longitudinal movement, the longitudinal movement in one direction causing the worm to turn idly in the cogs of the worm-wheel. The nail-feeder is oscillated by a cam on the main shaft which yieldingly operates an adjustable pitman 89 having a rounded end seated in a 'bracket 86 extending from the nail-feeder. A spring 104 gives the reverse movement to the feeder.
