Inventor: COYLE JOSEPH WESTON
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 1912-04-01
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7857. Coyle, J. W. April 1. Paper bags, making. -Machines for making cartons, boxes, bags, &c. are provided with feed-mechanism adapted to deliver blanks alternately to two sets of folding-mechanism. The blanks are folded by plungers e, Fig. 1, carried by heads d reciprocating on pairs of guide-rods, and connected to sleeves h operated from a rocking beam i<1>. The connexion between the heads and the sleeves is made to give way if the plungers are obstructed, and the plungers are moved slowly for the first part of their downward stroke. The blanks are placed on a table m, which is raised by a screw n operating in conjunction with a halfnut formed on one end of a slide carried by the table, the slide being movable to allow the nut to be disengaged when required. The screw n is intermittently operated by means of a ratchet-wheel u<2>, Fig. 3, and a pawl u<1> on a lever u, one end of the lever being held between projections u<3> on a block mounted on a rod t, which is reciprocated longitudinally by chain connexions from the beam i. The end u<4> of the lever u actuates a lever s, a slot in which engages a pin r<5> on a block r<3>, Fig. 5, connected by links r<2> with double pawls r<1> on levers r, mounted between yieldingly - mounted feedrollers o, o<1>. As the block r<3> reciprocates, the pawls r<1> are put into and out of gear, so that the rollers o, o<1> are alternately rotated to deliver the uppermost blank to their respective folding-mechanisms. In order to compensate for the varying thicknesses of the blanks, a lever y<1> carrying a roller y, resting on the top of the pile is connected to a lever y<3>, with which an adjustable pin y<4> on the pawl u' engages, so as to regulate the feed. In a modification, the roller y is dispensed with, and a wire frame bearing on the shafts of the rollers o, o' is connected to the lever y<3>. After the top blank has been removed by the rollers o or o<1>, it passes between continuously-rotating rollers v or v<1> and on to a table between adjustable guides l, and a spring lever w having an extension acted on by the rod t drives it into position against the stop l<2>. The pile of blanks on the table m is retained in proper position by fixed back guides x and by movable front guides x<1>, and pressing-devices, such as brushes x<4>, are provided at the top of the pile.

Abstract: 20,364. Fittipaldi, R. Jan. 10. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block. - Relates to recoiling- barrel automatic guns of the kind having a rotary breech-bolt, operated by a non - rotary firing-pin. According to the invention, longitudinal guide - grooves are formed in the breech-casing adapted to be engaged by the locking - lugs on the breech-bolt, during the reciprocating m o v e - ment of the bolt, as well as by guide-lugs on the firing-pin. A shoulder on the firing-pin is engaged by a catch to retain the firing-pin in its rearmost position until it is released by the firing-button. Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 6 an horizontal section of the gun, showing the breech closed and locked. The rotary breech-bolt 34 has locking-lugs 33 at its front end which enter recesses 40 in the breech-casing 5, and thereby lock the breech when the bolt is rotated by the advance of studs 22 on the firing-pin 13 along cam-slots 21 in the breechbolt. When unlocked, the lugs 33 can enter guide-grooves 41 in the breech-casing 5, which grooves are also engaged by the head 42 of the firing-pin 13, so that, when the bolt is withdrawn to open the breech, the same grooves 41 prevent rotation of the bolt 34 as well as of the firing-pin. The unlocking occurs during the counter-recoil of the barrel and breechcasing when the firing-pin is drawn back by a catch 10 on an arm 12, which arm is rocked on a fixed pivot 27 by a pin 37 at its lower end entering slots in the recoiling side-plates 31 of the breech-casing 5. During recoil, the upper end of the arm 12 is rocked forwards to engage the shoulder 14 on the firing-pin, and during the return, is rocked back again, opening the breech and bringing the catch 10 up to the firing-button 1.
