Improvements in Machines for Wrapping Newspapers and other
Publications.
I, HENRY EDWARD NEWTON of The Office for Patents, 6 Bream's Buildings,
Chancery Lane in the County of London, Patent Agent, 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:-
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved machine of that
class used in wrapping papers and other publications for mailing, and generally
known as newspaper wrapping machines, and especially to provide a simple and
efficient wrapping machine of high capacity.
In a prior Patent (No. 20664, dated November 15th 1892, and granted to
P. A. Newton as a communication from R. Hoe & Company), a machine for
wrapping newspapers is described and claimed broadly, in which the paper and
wrapper are wound upon a central core, the pasted wrapper secured about the core,
and the wrapped paper removed from the core, either by pushing the paper from
In the construction shewn in
the core, or withdrawing the core from the paper.
that Patent, as one of the preferred forms of such machines, the paper was gripped
by a core, and the paper and wrapper wound upon the core, and the wrapper
secured by pressure between the core and a wiper outside the core, either by the
rotation of the core with the paper and wrapper pressed against a stationary wiper,
or by rotating a wiper about a stationary core.
In constructions embodying the present invention, the paper and wrapper are not
gripped by the core, but there are employed feeding devices coacting with the core
to wind the paper and wrapper thereon, the paper and wrapper-being advanced by
pressure between the feeding devices and core.
It is evident that the core and feeding devices, and the manner in which they
coact to wind the paper and wrapper upon the core and secure the wrapper, may be
varied, and that the wrapped paper may be delivered from the core in different
ways. It is preferable, however, to use a rotating core, and positively driven belts,
as the feeding devices coacting therewith, and it is preferable to mount the core
and belts to move longitudinally of the wrapped paper, and deliver the latter by
withdrawing the core and belts therefrom. The core may consist of a single
cylinder, and the paper be supported through the whole or part of its width, but it
is preferable to form a core of two cylinders supporting the paper at its opposite
side edges, and deliver the paper by withdrawing the two cylinders and their
respective belts in opposite directions, a sufficient support for the paper being thus
provided with a small delivery movement, even for wide papers.
In the accompanying drawings, there is shewn the invention as embodied in a
machine of the preferred forin, and a full description thereof will now be given,
and the features forming the invention specifically pointed out in the claims.

in different positions, Figure 7 shewing the paper as partially wrapped, and Figure 8
as completely wrapped and being delivered.
Figure 9 is a view similar to Figure 7, shewing a slightly modified method of
wrapping.
Figures 10 and 11 are perspective views of products of the two methods, the
scale being that of the general views.
The frame of the machine may be of any suitable form to support the operating
parts. As shewn, it consists of the opposite end frames A B, and base-frame C, on
which they are mounted. At the top of the machine, the main driving shaft D is
mounted in the end frames A, B, this shaft being driven from any suitable source
of power.
The paper and wrapper are introduced into the machine at the upper part of the
front side, and the core belts and other parts of the wrapping mechanism are
mounted in the lower central part of the machine, in two interior vertical frames E. E,
which slide in grooves 10 in the base plate C, so as to be moved outward in opposite
directions in delivering the paper.
The wrapped papers are shewn as received by a flattening and delivering
mechanism mounted below the core in the stationary frames A, B, and delivered
thereby at the rear side of the machine, this flattening and delivering mechanism
consisting, in the form shewn, of series of converging tapes, by. which the papers
are advanced and gradually flattened.
The parts forming the wrapping mechanism proper will be first described.
The core upon which the paper and wrapper are wound, and about which the
wrapper is secured, consists in the preferred form, as shewn, of two short cylinders G,
mounted so as to support the paper at opposite sides, and with each of these
cylinders cooperate feeding devices, which consist, in the form shown, of belts H of
leather or other suitable material co-acting with the surfaces of the cylinder forming
the core, to advance the paper and wrapper. The belts, as shewn in Figures 4
and 5, are preferably of the same, or substantially the same, width as the cylinders G,
so that the paper is engaged by a large surface, but it will be understood that this
is not absolutely essential.
As the construction of the cylinders G, belts H, and actuating devices therefor.
is identical at the two ends of the machine, the same reference letters will be used
for both, and a description of the left band end of the machine in Figure 5, will be
understood to apply also to the opposite end.
The cylinder G is mounted to rotate freely upon a stud 11, carried by the sliding
frame E, and the belt H is carried by driving pulleys 12. 13 mounted on opposite
sides of the cylinder G, so as to strain the belt about the cylinder, and by pulley 14
mounted in the rear lower part of the frame. The belt driving pulleys 12. 13 are
carried by shafts 15, mounted to rotate in sleeves 16 on frame E. The pulley 14
is carried by an arm 17, pivotally mounted in the frame E by a short shaft 18
passing through the frame, and provided with a crank arm 19, so that the pulley 14
may be raised and lowered to loosen and tighten the belt, the arm 19 being
Dormally pressed into position to hold the belt taut by spring 20 coiled about a
rod 21 pivotted to the frame 19, and sliding in bracket 22 ou frame E. The
belt H is thus held under spring tension, allowing it to yield as the paper is wound
upon the cylinder G, and the pulley 14 may be raised by rocking the shaft 18, so
as to loosen the belt, and allow the cylinder and belt to be readily withdrawn from
the wrapped paper. To ensure the movement of the belt with the pulleys, when
withdrawn to deliver the wrapped paper, the construction shewn is preferably used.
in which the pulleys 12, 13, and 14 are provided with grooves, and the belt H
carries a series of projections 23 on its inner surface, which run in and are held by
the grooves.
For securing the proper movements of the cylinder G and belt H in wrapping

page_text: and delivering the paper, there are provided the following connections with the
main shaft D, the parts being so timed, that the paper and wrapper are wrapped
upon the core, and the wrapper secured about the core during two rotations of the
latter, and during the next rotation the core and belts are withdrawn from the end's
of the wrapped paper, to release it, and returned to normal wrapping position, to
receive another paper.
It will be understood, however, that any other suitable form
of driving connections may be used, that the paper may be wrapped any desired
number of times upon the core, and that more than the time of one rotation may be
used in withdrawing and returning the core and belts, if desired, the driving
connections being readily varied for this purpose.
The frame E carries on its upper side a shaft 24, rigid therewith, and adapted
to slide through. a sleeve 25 in the frame A. This shaft 24 carries, at its outer
end, outside the frame A, a bracket 26, and in the upper end of this bracket, and
in the frame E, is mounted a shaft 27. The main shaft D carries a gear 28, which
imeshes with a broad-faced gear 29, keyed to the shaft 27 just described, so that
the gear 29 remains in mesh with the gear 28, as the frame E is reciprocated, and
this broad-faced gear 29 meshes with a gear 30 on belt-driving pulley 12. The
pulley 12 carries a gear 31, which meshes with a gear 32 on the cylinder G, and the
cylinder G drives belt pulley 13 by a gear 33 on the roll meshing with gear 32, so
that the belt and cylinder G are driven at the same rate of speed. As shewn, and
as above stated, the gears are so timed that the cylinder G is rotated three times
to each rotation of the shaft D.
The shaft 24 carries, inside the frame A, a sleeve 34, preferably adjustable on
the shaft by a set screw, as shewn, and provided with a stud or bowl 35, which is
engaged by a forked lever 36, pivoted on a fixed part of the machine, and provided,
at its opposite end, with a bowl, which runs in a cam groove 37 formed in a cam
wheel carried by the shaft D, this cam, as shewn, being so formed, that the
frame E, and parts carried thereby, are held in their inner position for wrapping
during two revolutions of the core, and then withdrawn for delivering the wrapped
paper, and returned to position for receiving another paper during the third
revolution. The shaft 18 is rocked to raise the pulley 14 and loosen the belt H, as
the parts are withdrawn for delivering the wrapped paper, this being effected by
means of a stationary cam 38, carried by the frame A, and engaging the arm 19 as
the frame is withdrawn.
Any suitable form of feeding devices may be used for advancing the paper and
wrapper to the core and belts. As shewn, the paper and wrapper are advanced
over a series of guides 39 by a feeding roll 40 and series of feeding discs 41, the
latter projecting between the guides. The guides 39 extend partially about the
curved path of the paper between the cylinders G, and are preferably made of
spring metal, so as to yield as the head of the paper and wrapper are brought
above them on the first revolution, and beneath them on the second revolution
of the core.
The guides are also preferably spring-pressed toward the core, being
shown as adjustably mounted on a shaft 42, which carries an arm 43, spring-pressed
by a spring 44 coiled about a rod 45 pivotted to the arm 43, and sliding in a
bracket 46 on the frame A, a stop 47 being preferably provided, against which the
spring 44 holds the arm 43.
The shaft of feeding roll 40, and the shaft of the feeding discs 41, are geared
together by gears 48, and the shaft of roll 40 carries another gear 49, by which it
is driven from the shaft D through an intermediate 50, meshing with a gear 51
carried by the shaft D, the feeding mechanism being timed, as shewn, so that
the feeding roll: 40 and feeding discs 39 are driven at the same rate of speed as the
core G and belts H.
With the construction shewn, in which the tape-rolls 12, 13 are separated a
considerable distance on opposite sides of the path of the paper, as it passes to the
core, space is provided for a guide by which the paper is directed about the core
at this part of its movement, and it is preferable to use this guide to aid in
delivering the paper by moving it between the two end cylinders forming the

page_text: core, as the paper is released thereby, so as to carry the paper out of line of
the core, and deliver it to the flattening or other delivery mechanism provided
for receiving the paper, the guide thus forming an ejector moving transversely to
the paper.
The guide 52 consists, in the form shown, of a plate bent to conform sub-
stantially to the curve of the cylinder G forming the core, and extending
substantially the full width of the paper, opposite and between the cylinders.
This guide 52 is carried by arms 53 adjustably secured upon a rod 54, which is
carried in arms 55 on a rock shaft 56 mounted in the frames A. B. Outside the
frame A, this shaft 56 carries a crank arm 57, which is provided with a bowl
engaged by a cam 58 on a cam disc K carried by the shaft D, so that the shaft 56
is rocked once in each revolution of the shaft D, to throw the guide 52 inward
between the two cylinders forming the core, as shewn in Figure 9, the guide 52
being returned to normal position by a spring 59 coiled on a rod 60, sliding in a
bracket 61 on the frame A, and pivotally connected to a second crank arm 62 on
shaft 56.
It is evident that the wrapped paper may be allowed to drop directly from the
core, when released therefrom, without the use of the movable delivering guide or
ejector 52, or that the guide 52 may deliver the paper directly to a receptacle.
When the paper extends about the core one or more times, so as to form a circular
product, however, it is preferable to provide a flattening mechanism, by which the
wrapped paper will be reduced to a flat form.
Any suitable form of flattening mechanism may be used for this purpose, but
there is shewn a simple and efficient construction, in which a pair of converging
delivering tapes are used, to which the wrapped paper is delivered from the core.
These delivering and flattening tapes L are mounted to run on opposite sides above
and below the cylinders G forming the core, each pair of tapes being carried by
driving pulleys 62 and pulleys 63, the pulleys 63 being preferably carried, as
shewn, by bars 64 adjustable in brackets 65, which are adjustably mounted on
shafts 66, carried by the frame of the machine, so that the belts may be adjusted
to take up slack, and also to vary the position of the receiving ends of the belts
relatively to the core. The belt-driving pulleys 62 are geared together by
gears 67, and are driven from shaft D by gear 68 on the shaft of one of the pulleys,
gear 69 on the shaft D, and intermediate 70.
The operation of the machine is as follows:-
It will be understood that the wrapping and delivering mechanism may form a
complete machine, and the papers and pasted wrappers be fed thereto by hand,
but suitable devices will preferably be combined therewith, by which the paper
and wrapper shall be fed to it in proper time, and paste be applied to secure the
wrapper, an automatic machine of high capacity being thus produced. It will be
understood, also, that the wrapping and delivering mechanism may be combined
with suitable wrapper feeding and pasting devices, the delivering mechanism of a
printing press, or with a folding machine of any of the usual forms, so as to receive
and wrap the papers as folded.
While the machine will preferably be used as a high speed machine, and suitable
devices for feeding both the paper and wrapper, and for applying paste to the
latter, be combined therewith, it is unnecessary to show such devices in the present
case, as it is evident that they may be of any suitable construction, it being
necessary only to time the feeding devices so that the heads of the paper and
wrapper shall reach the feeding roll and discs 41 simultaneously.
With the machine shewn, two methods of wrapping, differing slightly from each
other, may be employed. In one, the paper is of a sufficient length to extend
about the core one or more times, so that the product is delivered from the core
in the form of a hollow cylinder, which, as above stated, may be finally delivered
in that form, or reduced to a flat form by a suitable flattening mechanism. This is
the method shewn in the main views.
In wrapping by the second method, shown in Figure 9, the paper extends about

page_text: half way about the core, so that the wrapper is unsupported on one side when the
wrapped paper is delivered from the core, and the spring of the paper causes the
latter to spring out to a flat form when released, thus tightening the wrapper upon
the product.
In this construction, the flattening mechanism will generally be found un-
necessary, but may be used, if desired, to compress the paper, and reduce the
thickness of the product.
In wrapping by the first method, it is evident that the paper is folded, and may
be reduced to one half its original size, when the paper extends about the core but
once, or a further reduction may be produced by winding the paper upon the core
two or more times. In the second construction, it is evident that the paper must
be reduced to its final length before wrapping, no folding resulting therefrom.
Referring to the drawings, the operation of the mechanism in wrapping by the
first method will now be described.
The parts being in the position shewn in the general views and Figure 6, the
paper and wrapper y are fed in simultaneously over the guides 39, by the feeding
roll 4 and discs 41, until they are gripped by the core G and belts H, the tail of
the wrapper having been previously provided with paste on the portions between
the guides 39, as shown in Figure 3. They are then advanced together by the
core and belts, the latter yielding slightly against the tension of spring 20 according
to the thickness of the paper, and upon the second revolution of the core the
leading end of the paper and wrapper pass beneath the curved lower ends of the
guides 39, which yield against the tension of spring 44. The parts are shewn in
Figure 7 just as the leading end of the paper and wrapper are passing guide 52,
and about to pass beneath the guides 39.
As the leading ends of the paper and wrapper advance from the position shewn
in Figure 7, they pass beneath the guides 39, as previously stated, and the wrapper
is drawn down over the guides, and as the rear end of the paper passes off the
guides, the rear end of the wrapper comes in contact with the first layer of wrapper
upon the paper, where not separated therefrom by the two inner guides 39, the
outside guides 39 being, as previously stated, cut off, so as not to extend between
the belts and core, and the rear pasted end of the wrapper is gummed down upon
the layer of wrapper on the paper to secure the latter by pressure between the
belts H and the paper on the core, and at the end of the second rotation of the
core, it is evident that the paper will be fully wrapped, and the rear end of
the wrapper secured over a considerable portion of its edges.
During the operation thus far described the bowls on levers 36 have been running
in the straight part of cam grooves 37, and the cylinders G forming the core, and
the belts H, have been held in their inner wrapping position, the belts also having
been held taut upon the cores, but allowed to yield slightly against the pressure of
springs 20, to accommodate the paper, as previously described. As the second
rotation of the core is completed, and the paper is fully wrapped, however, the
bowls on levers 36 are actuated by entering the cam portions of grooves 37, and
the levers are moved thereby from the positions shewn in full lines in Figure 5,
into the positions shown in dotted lines in the same figure, so as to move the
frames E. F corresponding distances outward in opposite directions, thereby with-
drawing the cylinders G and belts H from opposite ends of the wrapped paper, so
as to release the latter, and allow it to be delivered between the cylinders.
The cylinders and belts are withdrawn during a half of the third rotation of the
core, and at the completion of this half rotation, and the full release of the paper,
the parts are in the position shewn in full lines in Figure 8, and the rear end of.
the wrapper has passed below the inner guides 39, and is by them pressed upon the
body of the wrapped paper, so as to secure also the inner pasted portion of the
wrapper, and outer pasted portions of the wrapper have again been pressed by
the belts, so as to secure the wrapper more firmly.
As the frames E F are withdrawn, the arms 19 press against the stationary
cam 38, and the shafts 18 are thus rocked to raise the pulleys 14 and slacken the

page_text: belts H, so as to allow the belts and cylinders to be readily withdrawn from the
paper, as indicated in Figure 8. The paper is now free to fall, or be otherwise
delivered, from between the cylinders, and just at this time the cam 58 on cam
disc K rocks the shaft 56 through crank arm 57, and against the tension of
spring 59, to carry the guide inward from the position shewn in full lines in
Figure 8, to that shewn in dotted lines in the same figure. The wrapped paper is
thus compressed against the inner guides 39 from a circular shape to the oval
shape shewn in said figure, and is thus carried forward into the control of delivering
tapes L, and by them advanced, the paper being compressed to its final flat form,
as it passes between the rolls 62, as shewn in dotted lines. The completed product
folded and wrapped by this method is shewn in perspective in Figure 10 on the
same scale as the general views.
The operation of the construction in wrapping by the second method, as
shewn in Figure 9, is substantially the same, and will be understood without
further description, it being apparent that the paper is held in the circular
curved form only by the belts and core, and that, when released therefrom, it
springs outward, so as to strain the wrapper upon the paper, the product being
of a width equal to one half the circumference of the core G, as in the previous
case, but the paper being unfolded.
In this construction, the guide 52 will operate to throw the unsupported side of
the wrapper inward towards the body of the paper, thus assisting in the process of
delivery. The product of the second method is shewn in perspective in Figure 11
on the same scale as the general views.
In the drawings, it is evident that the paper is wound about the core but once or
more, but it is evident that this will depend upon the length of the paper, and the
-size of the core employed. In the construction shewn, the core is designed to be
about seven inches in circumference, so that the papers wrapped by the first method
are previously folded to a length of about seven inches, and the product is about
three and a half inches wide. These relative sizes of core and paper will be found
to produce a product of convenient form, as shewn in Figures 10 and 11. It is
evident, however, that, with a core of this size, papers of any desired length may
be wrapped, by increasing the number of rotations of the core before delivery, and
lengthening the wrapper, the construction being modified in an obvious manner for
this purpose.
While this size of core will be found convenient, it is evident that
if a smaller and more closely wrapped product be desired, the size of the core may
be reduced to any extent desired, and that, on the other hand, the size of the core
may be increased, so as to form products of larger size, this depending upon the
size, thickness, and character of the publications to be wrapped.
As above stated, the flattening mechanism may be omitted, and the papers be
-delivered in the circular form by the first method, or in flat form by the second
.method. With light newspapers and a core of considerable size, this construction
would not be desirable with the first method, but with a smaller core, on which the
paper is rolled tightly, such a construction is practical, and with thick magazines,
and similar publications, the circular may be found the preferred form of
.product.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
