Abstract: 3231. Lake, W. E., [Staude, E. G.]. Feb. 8. Feeding-sheets. -Relates to a machine for making envelopes from previously-cut blanks, and consists in providing means for centring the blanks as they approach the creasing and folding devices in order that these operations may be performed evenly and accurately. The blanks, of the shape shown in Fig. 8, are arranged on an inclined feed-plate 3, Figs. 1 and 4, and are fed into the machine intermittently by means of a feed-roller 4 in the surface of which rubber plugs 5 are inserted. The blanks are fed on to a number of endless conveyer belts 11, which carry the blanks to rolls 19. Endless chains 16 provided with stops 21 are arranged between the belts 11, hut move at a lower speed than the belts. In consequence of this difference in speed, the forward edge of the blank will be held in contact with the stops 21 by the faster moving belt until it is engaged by the rolls 19 and fed by them between the creasing-rolls 28, thus ensuring that the blank passes evenly between the creasers. Instead of moving at a lower speed, the chains may move at a higher speed than the belts, and in this case the stops will engage the rear edge of the blank. After leaving the creasers, the blank is carried by feed-belts 29, 30 past a pasting-device which pastes the edges of the flaps, and then past folders 39 which turn over the flaps. The partly folded blank next passes between rollers 46, Fig. 1, which deliver it against a stop 49 on a table 47. A rotating roller 48, which projects slightly through the table keeps the blank in contact with the stop. The blank is conveyed from the table by feed belts 53 having projecting pins which engage the edge of the blank and ensure that it passes evenly between creasing, folding, and pasting devices similar to those already described. Finally, the folded envelope is packed into a hopper.
