AN IMPROVED COP BOTTOM PASTER OR PASTE Box, WHICH MAY BE USED FOR OTHER PASTING PURPOSES
Year: 1877

page_text: LETTERS PATENT William Henry Bailey, of the Albion Works, Salford, and
John Cordingley, of Oldham, both in the County of Lancaster, for the
Invention of "AN IMPROVED COP BOTTOM PASTER OR PASTE Box, WHICH
MAY BE USED FOR OTHER PASTING PURPOSES."
Sealed the 29th March 1878, and dated the 2nd October 1877.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Henry Bailey and
John Cordingley at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 2nd
October 1877.
WILLIAM HENRY BAILEY, of the Albion Works, Salford, and JOHN CORDINGLEY,
of Oldham, both in the County of Lancaster. "AN IMPROVED COP BOTTOM
PASTER OR PASTE BOX, WHICH MAY BE USED FOR OTHER PASTING PURPOSES."
Our Invention consists in a novel means of supplying the paste to the distributing
brush automatically in proportion to the amount of surface pasted.
The distributing brush is affixed to the side of the paste box in the usual manner
and supplied with paste from the box through a spout or shoot. Within the paste
box we arrange an endless belt, cord, or band upon pulleys passing over the shoot
or spout and through the paste within the box. The spindle of one of the pulleys
passes through to the outside of the said box, and has affixed to it a perambulating
wheel.
When using the apparatus, the brush is applied in the usual manner, and the
perambulating wheel rolled along the surface upon which the cops or other articles
requiring to be pasted are lying, so giving motion to the endless belt, cord, or band
within the box, which thus carries a certain quantity of the paste round with it. As
such endless belt, cord, or band passes over the spout or shoot, it comes in contact
with a doctor edge, which scrapes the paste into the shoot and so supplies it to the
brush.
It will thus be apparent that the quantity of paste supplied to the brush
will be in exact proportion to the speed of the perambulating wheel or amount
of surface pasted.

page_text: Instead of an endless belt or band, we sometimes employ a brush wheel for
carrying the paste and delivering it to the shoot, or a wheel with a series of spoons,
or buckets dipping into the paste and delivering over the shoot may be employed
for a like purpose.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said William Henry Bailey and John Cordingley in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 2nd April 1878.
WILLIAM HENRY BAILEY, of the Albion Works, Salford, and JOHN CORDINGLEY,
of Oldham, both in the County of Lancaster. "AN IMPROVED COP BOTTOM PASTER
OR PASTE BOX, WHICH MAY BE USED FOR OTHER PASTING PURPOSES."
Our Invention consists in a novel means of supplying the paste to the distributing
brush automatically in proportion to the amount of surface pasted.
The distributing brush is affixed to the side of the paste box in the usual manner,
and supplied with paste from the box through a spout or shoot. Within the paste
box we arrange an endless belt, cord, or band upon pulleys passing over the shoot
or spout and through the paste within the box. The spindle of one of the pulleys
passes through to the outside of the said box and has affixed to it a perambulating
wheel.
When using the apparatus, the brush is applied in the usual manner, and the
perambulating wheel rolled along the top of the carriage in front of the cops, so
giving motion to the endless belt, cord, or band within the box, which thus carries
a certain quantity of the paste round with it. As such endless belt, cord, or band
passes over the spout or shoot, it comes in contact with a doctor edge, which scrapes
the paste into the shoot, and so supplies it to the brush.
It will thus be apparent that the quantity of paste supplied to the brush will be
in exact proportion to the speed of the perambulating wheel or amount of surface
pasted.
Instead of an endless belt or band we sometimes employ a brush wheel for
carrying the paste and delivering it to the shoot, or a wheel with a series of spoons,
or buckets dipping into the paste and delivering over the shoot may be employed
for a like purpose.
And in order that this our said Invention may be more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, we have hereunto annexed a Drawing illustrating our
improved cop bottom paster, drawn about full size, Fig. 1 being front exterior view
of the same; Fig. 2, a plan with the cover removed; and Fig. 3, a side sectional view
of Fig. 1 across the line a, b.
In all the views A is the paste box which is of the ordinary construction, having
the distributing brush B affixed to its front by the adjusting screws C in the usual
manner. The interior of this paste box contains the paste or other material requiring
to be laid by the distributing brush B, and which pasting or other material is in
accordance with this modification of our Invention, carried up by the revolving
brush D.
E is a trough or shoot secured to the outside of the paste box, and designed

page_text: to convey the paste on to the top of the distributing brush; the upper end of
this trough or shoot is bent round at right angles, as illustrated, and passes through
an opening F to the inside of the paste box, where its back G forms a doctor plate,
against which the revolving brush D scrapes as it revolves, and so deposits the
paste carried round by it into the shoot E, and from whence it flows down in the
direction of the arrows on to the distributing brush B.
Motion is communicated to the revolving brush D by the perambulating wheel H
mounted upon the same spindle I, and which wheel H, being serrated or milled
upon its periphery, or provided with an india-rubber tyre, is caused to revolve by
frictional contact with the top of the carriage or edge of the table upon which the
pasting operation is performed.
It will thus be apparent that the quantity of paste supplied to the brush will be
in exact proportion to the speed of the perambulating wheel, or to the amount
of surface pasted.
Instead of employing a revolving brush, as herein-before described, the paste or
other material may be conveyed into the shoot or trough E by means of small
buckets or scoops J mounted on the spindle I of the perambulating wheel, as indi-
cated in Fig. 4, or by means of an endless cord, band, or tape K, passing round a
pair of pullies L, and in its course scraping against a plate M, as indicated by the
dotted lines in Fig. 1, and in this latter case it will be noticed that the position of
the shoot or trough can be varied so as to be more conveniently situated with regard
to the distributing brush.
Although we have only described our improvements as applied to apparatus for
pasting cop bottoms, it will be obvious that the same or similar apparatus is equally
useful for other analagous pasting or distributing operations.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
Invention, together with the best methods with which we are acquainted for
carrying the same into practical effect, we wish it to be distinctly understood that
we do not confine ourselves to the precise details, relative proportions or dimensions
of the various parts of the apparatus herein-before described, and illustrated on the
accompanying Drawings, as the same may be considerably varied without departing
from the Invention, and the we make no claim to the paste box and distributing
brush as distinct from our improvements, but what we do claim is, the improved
combination and arrangement of apparatus for pasting cop bottoms, and for other
analagous purposes, and for automatically feeding the paste or other material to the
distributing brush of such apparatus, as and for the purposes herein-before described,
and illustrated on the accompanying Drawing.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Henry Bailey, for and on behalf of
myself and John Cordingley, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this
1st day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight.
W. H. BAILEY. (L.S.)
