Abstract: 3841. Theodoli, Alfonso, Marquis. Feb. 27. Toothed gearing; linkwork; screw-and-nut mechanism; mounting articles on shafts. - Relates to mechanism for varying the position of a part connected to a rotating shaft. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, it is required to rotate the pin 1 in the block 2 which is fixed to the shaft 5. A wheel 32 likewise fixed to the shaft is connected, by trains of loose wheels 7, 8, 9, 10, to a similar wheel 24 loose on the shaft and formed in one with a wheel 11 in gear with a wheel 6 on the pin. The wheels 8, 10 have handles, which may be provided with spring catches adapted to engage with annular racks, for the purpose of retaining them in any position in which they may be set. Normally, the wheel 24 is rotated at the same speed and in the same direction as the wheel 32, and the pin 1 remains unaffected. Upon moving the handles, the wheel 24 receives a motion relatively to the shaft in one direction or the other, and the pin is rotated. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement for moving the sleeve 4 endways along the square shaft 5 ; the sleeve is screwed externally to engage the boss of the loose wheel, 24, which is geared to the fixed wheel 32 by two trains of wheels, controlled by handles as before. Figs. 5 and 6 show a construction for varying the angular position of the arm 33 upon the shaft 5. The arm is pivoted on a block 43, and is slotted to engage a pin 31 on the loose wheel 24, which is geared to the fixed wheel 32 as shown. The adjustment is effected by turning the train arm on the shaft or by turning one of the pinions around the train arm.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for use in the Manufacture of Paper Boxes.
Filed: 1901-01-22
Granted: 1901-02-23
Abstract: 1447. Lake, H. H., [Merrell-Soule Co.]. Jan. 22. Making paper boxes. - The bottom flaps 3, 4, 5, Fig. 19, of paper boxes are pasted and folded by apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1, 5, and 13. The blanks, Fig. 19, are carried in open frames or holders D, Figs. 1 and 5, which are secured to an endless belt B mounted on polygonal wheels b, b<1>, of which b<1> is intermittently rotated by ratchet mechanism. The inside of the flap 5 and both sides of the flap 4 are first pasted by means of a brush G, Fig. 5, carried on an arm g, which takes up the paste from a pasting-roll f<2> and then recedes, being lifted above the flap 5 until it arrives between the flaps 4 and 5, when it is depressed so as to paste the flap 4 on the inside during its further backward movement. In its return movement, it pastes the flap 4 on the outside, and the flap 5 on the inside. The rod g is actuated horizontally through the pivoted lever H by means of a cam, and the vertical movement is given to it by means of a guide I in which moves a roller i<3> mounted on the arm g, the slide having a nose i<4> which engages with a sliding cam J operated by means of the lever H, through a link K. The flaps next pass before a folding-device, Fig. 13, consisting of folders N, by which the flaps 3 are folded, operated by a slide M which also serves to fold the flap 4 over the flaps 3. Pivoted to each box-bolder is an arm E having a flange e by which the front flap 5 is folded. This folder is now operated to fold the flap 5 partially, by means of an arm suitably actuated. The box next passes under a roller, which presses on the flap 4 and thus also on the flaps 3. The arm E is next operated by a suitable cam to fold completely the flap 5, and at the same time clips e<1> thereon engage with the sides of the box to hold the flange e, and thus the folded flaps, in place. The box is then carried by the endless chain until it reaches a cam R, Fig. 1, at the front of the apparatus, by which time the paste is supposed to be sufficiently dry to secure the flaps. The cam R then abuts against a projection r<1> on the arm E, and withdraws it from engagement with the box. Gripper arms T, actuated by a cam and carried on a carriage S sliding on an arm, then engage with the box and withdraw it from its holder, the gripper arms afterwards opening to permit the box being thrust from the machine by an arm W. When the flaps at the mouth of the box are adapted to be folded like those at the bottom, they may, after the box is filled, be folded in a similar manner in a corresponding machine.
