An Improved Horizontal Automatio Cartridge Turnover Machine,
for Turning Over the Ends of Cartridges after they have been
Loaded.
HENRY MONK 75 Foregate Street Chester Gunsmith do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Cartridge machines as heretofore constructed are not perfectly automatic in.
their action they require several adjustments for each lenght of cartridge, they are
also dangerous being liable to crush or even explode a cartridge.
•
The object of my invention is to provide a machine which will adjust itself to
any lenght of cartridge and will bring into position, turnover, and eject any lenght
of cartridge automatically without any adjusting whatever and with perfect
safety.
To enable my invention to be clearly understood I will describe the same with
reference to the accompanying drawings which are part sectional front and side
elevations of a cartridge machine constructed according to my invention.
a is the turnover chuck driving pully.
b is a spindle to which the turnover chuck C is attached.
D is the holding chuck for holding the flange end of the cartridge E while the
paper end is being turned over by the revolving chuck C.
Fis a trough or guide into which the cartridge E is pushed, it holds the
cartridge in position to be gripped by the holding chuck D, it also guides the
paper end of E into the turnover chuck C, it is kept in position against the chucks
by the spring G.
His a sliding bar to which the holding chuck D is attached, it is given a
forward movement and the pressure is put on to the cartridge E by means of the
weight M attached to the end of the compound lever L. As D comes forward it
grips the flange end of the cartridge E and holds it while the paper end of E is
being turned over by the revolving chuck C, when the paper end of E has
received a sufficient number of turns from C, the bar H is drawn back by the
eccentric cam Jon the chain wheel 1 pushing back tho roller end K of the
compound lever L. As it goes back the extractor P comes against the body N
of the machine and forces the flange end of the cartridge E out of the holding
chuck D, leaving E in a position to be ejected by the next cartridge E¹ being
pushed into its place.
O Sheet 2 is a box or hopper into which the cartridges to be turned over are
placed. It has a sliding bottom V kept in a forward position by the spring T.
As the chain wheel I revolves, the eccentrio cam R pushes back the roller S
attached to the lever S₁, which pushes back the sliding bottom V of the box 0,
until the cartridge E' falls into the space, as the chain wheel 1 revolves further
round the lever S and the sliding bottom V of the box O are pushed forward
again by the spring T, pushing before them the cartridge E' which ejects the
cartridge E and falls into its place in the carrier F ready to be turned over by the
chucks C and D.
U Sheet 2 is a small stop or ledge which prevents the cartridge E' from rolling
forward until it is pushed by the sliding bottom V.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A horizontal automatic cartridge turnover machine in which the backward
and forward inovement of the holding chuck and the pressure put on the cartridge
is obtained by means of a lever or compound lever and roller in connection with
- an eccentric cam in connection with a suspended weight or the pull or push of a
spring acting instead of a weight..
2. A detachable hopper or box in connection with a sliding bottom kept in a
forward position by a spring.
3. A backward and forward movement of the sliding bottom of the box by means
of a lever and roller in connection with an eccentric cam.
4. A trough or guide to keep the cartridges in position between the two chucks,
kept in position against the bottom of the said chucks by means of a spring.
5. A raised ledge or stop at the front end of hopper to prevent the cartridges
from rolling forward out of the said hopper until they are pushed by the sliding
! bottom.
6. The manufacture and use of the machine herein before described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
