Title: A New or Improved Paper Bag Making Machine.
IPC: B31B23/00
Filed: 1910-11-17
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 26,726. Nichols, J., Nichols, W. B., and Bibby & Baron. Nov. 17. Paper bags, making.-The invention relates to the kind of paper bag shown in Figs. 14 to 17 of Specification 1879/06, and consists of a machine in which the folding, pasting, and other operations are effected by cylinders of the usual type. A web of paper from a roll 1 passes round a roller 3 to a printing-apparatus driven by the shaft 4. After being printed the web passes over a roller 6, and one edge receives, from a paster 7, lines of paste equal in length to the bottom seam of the bag. A thumb-piece is next cut out of the paper by cutting-rolls 10, 11, and the pasted edge is then folded over on to the body of the paper by folders 12, 13. The web passes between a pair of draw-rolls 14, 15 which press the folded edge, and the roll 14 applies to it a continuous line of paste. The paper now passes between cylinders 18, 19 and receives a transverse line of paste for the side seam. This is effected by a rotating wiper 22 conveying gum from a feeder 21 and applying it to a raised part of the cylinder 19, which presses the paper into a corresponding channel on the cylinder 18. A transverse fold in the paper is next made by a folder 31 on a cylinder 23 pressing the paper into a gripper 29 in the cylinder 24. The cylinder 23 also carries a cutter 32 which severs the bag length from the web. The bag paper thus held by the gripper 29 is carried round by the cylinder 24 and passed between this cylinder and another 25. While the paper is passing between these cylinders, the gripper 29 is released and the side seam is folded and gripped by other grippers 33 on the cylinder 25 and is then pressed by a roller 26. Rollers 27, 28 finally press the seams of the bag and pass it on to the drying-apparatus.
