Making Paper Boxes.

Wonoertul Is the paper-box making
machine that an inventor has lust put
into running order at a paper box fac.
tory in Auburn, Maine. The operator
feeds in at one end Of the box-maker a
squared piece of card board, and in less
than three seconds out IL comes at the
other end, made up into neat box, the
corners neatly framed together and firm.
ly sealed. IL promises TO revoluuonize
the paper-box making industry.
In the machine are 500 pieces, and
when in operation there are fifty distinct
motions, each Of which is dependent
upca itself, there being no springs about
It whatever. II has a capacity Of turn
ing out over twenty boxes per minute.
from the time the board enters the
feeder TO the time il is delivered TO the
first floor above. The machine can easi-
ly be adjusted to nearly any size Of
a pasteboard box. The smallest box
that can at present be made is 25x6
inches, and the largest SKIS inches. The
depth of the box must be under six
inches.
The operator starts the machine and
takes his station at the back, seated
upon high stool. First he takes about
hve hundred pieces of pasteboard, of
perhaps 3x6 inches. One-half of these
he puts in at one side of the box-shaped
mold, and the other half at the other
side. Then he takes the fiat squared
sheet of pasteboOrd, that has been prop
erly fitted, and lays il on the machine
table, in a position where the feed roller
will drag it into the machine over the
mold. The wheels all start simultsne-
ously, aud while one part Of the machine
is doing its work, another branch,
further on, is getting ready to take a
turn at the box.
After the pasteboard has been drawn
in by the feeders, they at once are ele-
waited out OF the way, and the part
called the "plungern comes down and
drives the pasteboard, which lies fiat
over the mold down toward the bottom
OF the machine. At this stage of the
work the sides of the box are formed,
and also about half inch on the end OF
the sides and bottom is turned up and
pasted as the plungcr forces it down
past the paste rolls. Then comes the
end pieces which are drawn into posi-
ton by chain passing under them with
n weight attached, so that when two
end pieces slip down into the box mold,
the chain urges the rest forward TO be in
readiness for the next box.
Then, from behind, as It were like
a mighty wave, the ends are pressed by
the action of the machine at pressure
of about a ton. After this is done, the
plunger Is raised, clearing itself, as it
does other parts of the machinery, from
the box. which drops below. Here
wide belt with cleats riveted to it car.
rles the box to the rooms above. All
this is done in less that three seconds. or
1900 boxes per hour and ZOO day.
The inventor has in view n machine
that will make the cover of tho box also.
This is the first time the machine has
been operated in any factory whatever,
and prove es TO be n grand success -
