I JOHN JAMES ALLEN, of Halifax, in the County of York, Insurance Broker,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
MACHINES TO BE EMPLOYED FOR GUMMING AND PASTING PAPER AND LABELS
be as follows:-
"
to
This invention consists of improvements in machines to be employed for gumming
and pasting paper and labels.
Machines for purpose aforesaid according to this my invention comprise frame-
work for supporting the several parts and forming a trough for containing the
gum or paste.
The paper or label to be gummed or pasted is passed between a pair of intake
or feed rollers or between an angled or > shaped feed way extending across the
machine, and having an exit slit leading to the gumming roller the rollers
or feed are partially covered by a guard or fence which prevents the paper or
label being (soiled or) gummed except on one of its surfaces-On the opposite side
of the gumming roller is a like guard piece having a projecting pointer extending
close to or upon the periphery of the gumming roller for the purpose of turning
and diverting the paper or label as gummed from the roller ready for removal-
The feed rollers or shaped feed are open at one end so as to admit of the edge
of the paper or label being passed through thereby to gum only the edge of the
paper If feed rollers are employed one of them will be provided with a pinion or
wheel gearing with a toothed wheel on the axis of the gumming roller on which
axis is also a small wheel having a milled edge so as by the thumb and finger to
turn the roller and the paper or label is drawn through the machine by contact
and adhesion of the paper to the gumming roller.

I JOHN JAMES ALLEN of Halifax in the County of York Insurance Broker
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINES
TO BE EMPLOYED FOR GUMMING AND PASTING PAPER AND LABELS, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of improvements in machines to be employed for gum-
ming and pasting paper and labels.

Machines for purpose aforesaid according to this my invention comprise frame-
work for supporting the several parts and forming a trough for containing the gum
or paste.
The paper or label to be gummed or pasted is passed between a pair of intake or
feed rollers or between an angled or > shaped feed extending across the machine,
and having an exit slit leading to the gumming roller, the rollers are partially
covered by a guard or fence which prevents the paper or label being (soiled or)
gummed except on its under surface-On the opposite side of the gumming roller
is a like guard piece having a projecting pointer extending close to or upon the
periphery of the gumming roller for the purpose of turning and diverting the
paper or label when gummed from the roller ready for removal.
The feed rollers or > shaped feed are open at one end so as to admit of the edge
of the paper or label being passed through, thereby to gum only the edge or margin
of the paper.
When feed rollers are employed one of them will be provided with a
pinion or wheel gearing with a toothed wheel on the axis of the gumming roller on
which axis is also a small wheel having a milled edge or knob so as by the thumb
and finger to turn the roller and the paper or label is drawn through the machine
by contact and adhesion of the paper to the gumming roller.
Such being the nature and object of my said Invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which:-
Fig. 1. is a plan view of the machine.
Fig. 2. is a front elevation of same.
Fig. 3. is a section through line A. B of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4. is an end view of the machine.
Figs. 5-6-7. are details of parts of the machine.
Fig. 8. is 'a front view of the intake roller and > shaped feed.
Fig. 9-is an end 'view:
Fig. 10. is a plan view of the gumming roller and strickle.
Fig. 11. is an end view of Fig. 10.
At 1. is the intake or feed roller which has india rubber rings 2. passed over it
at intervals of its length to more readily ensure the paper or label to be gummed
being passed to the gum roller 3. on the axis of the gum roller 3. is the toothed

page_text: wheel 5. gearing with the pinion 6. on the axis of the intake roller 1. When the
handle 7. is turned the gum roller 3. revolves and the toothed wheel 5. fast on the
axis of the said roller 3. operates the pinion 6. keyed on the axis of the intake
roller 1.
The paper or label to be gummed or pasted is passed under the intake roller 1.
by means of the india rubber rings 2. which rings work in slight hollows 8. in the
plate 9. thereby causing the intake roller 1. to have a better hold or grip on the
paper and prevents actual contact between the revolving rubber and the stationary
plate 9. After the paper has has passed between the intake roller 1. it is carried
to the > feed formed by plates 9. and 10. thence to the gum roller 3. the guide
piece 10. preventing it rising above the the said roller 3. which roller revolves in a
trough 11. containing gum or paste the strickle 12 which is set by its adjusting.
screws 13.-13 so as to prevent the roller 3 taking up more gum than is necessary.
14. is a take off which raises the paper off the roller 3. when gummed. 15.-16 are
locking plates which serve to bold down the take off 14. axle of wheels 5,
strickle 12 and plate 9.-17.-18.-are holding screws for securing the said locking
plates and parts. When the locking plates 15.-16. are loosed and turned over on
their stud pins 19.-the rollers strickle and parts may be lifted out of the frame
work for washing and cleaning 20. is a catch for for preventing the gumming
roller 3. being turned in the wrong direction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. In a machine for gumming and pasting paper or labels the feed roller 1.
V feed, plates 9.-10. strickle 12. gumming roller 3. and take off plate 14. all in
combination and as herein described and illustrated by drawings annexed.
2. The strickle 12. gumming roller 3. in combination with a take off plate 14.
of the peculiar shape and construction as shewn by the drawings and herein
described.
3. In a machine for gumming and pasting paper or labels the employment of
open ended rollers or roller 1. and V plates 9.-10. so as to admit of the edge or
end of a sheet of paper being gummed or pasted as herein described and set forth.
4.-The > feed 9.-10. in combination with a gumming roller as herein
described and illustrated by annexed drawings.
