Abstract: 17,617. Sterling, F. H. July 29. [Addition to 16,002/08.] Seals and sealing.- The machine for sealing newspapers &c. described in the parent Specification, is modified particularly in that a second disk carrying cam - operated plungers is provided for clinching the seals, the falling weight being dispensed with, and one or two cams only are used to reciprocate the sealforming punches, the stroke of the punches being inoperative until wedges come into action between the cams and the punches, so that the spring pistons described in the parent Specification are not required. The seal-forming punches 1, 2 are reciprocated by cams 11, 12, Fig. 5, mounted upon a shaft carrying a rapidly-rotated fly-wheel 9, but only make an operative stroke when wedges 14, actuated by a cam 19 on a shaft 20, are interposed between the punches and the cams. The cams are such that the outer punch is depressed first, but a projection is provided on the inner punch so that it is withdrawn first. In a modification, the cams act upon levers which in turn act upon spring-returned punches. In this case, the wedges come between the levers and the cams. As before, the seals are formed in a disk 3 provided with two plungers 22 raised to admit one lead pellet at a time by a projection 24 on a fixed cam 23. The cam is, in the present case, provided with a second projection 25 to force out the plungers 22 to drive the seal through the papers, or through the aperture formed in the papers by the punch in the feed-rollers 36, 37. The seals are clinched by plungers 26, 27, mounted in a disk 4 and forced outwards by a cam 29 rapidly rotated in the opposite direction to the disk, one of the plungers 22 acting as a bolster during the clinching. The disk 4 may be provided with one plunger only, the disks 3, 4 in any case being geared to have the same circumferential velocity. The disk 4 is provided with spring-pressed perforated plates or forked arms 52, 53 to hold the papers while the seals are passed or forced through them.
