Year: 1875

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Crosby, of Aston, near Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Confectioner, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF LOZENGES,
MEDALS, AND OTHER LIKE ARTICLES OF CONFECTIONERY, WHICH IMPROVEMENTS
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Crosby at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
20th October 1875.
I, WILLIAM CROSBY, of Aston, near Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
LOZENGES, MEDALS, AND OTHER LIKE ARTICLES OF CONFECTIONERY, WHICH IMPROVE-
MENTS MAY ALSO BE APPLIED TO MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF BISCUITS,"
to be as follows:-
My Invention consists of the construction and combination of parts

page_text: herein-after described of machinery for the manufacture of lozenges and
other like articles of confectionery, the said construction and com-
bination of parts being also applicable to machinery for the manufacture
of biscuits.
I will describe my Invention as applied to machinery for the manu-
facture of lozenges.
The said machinery consists essentially of an intermittent carrier,
consisting of an endless band passing over pulleys, a printing or stamp-
ing roller, a series of cutting tools combined with removing or stripping
tools, and a sliding and oscillating or tilting plate for receiving the
finished lozenges and removing them from the machine.
A strip or sheet of sugar paste of uniform thickness, from which the
lozenges are to be made, is fed to the endless carrier, by the motion of
which carrier it is carried under the printing or stamping roller, by the
operation of which roller the paste is printed or stamped or impressed
with any required inscription, design, or ornament, the printed or
impressed parts of the paste being so arranged across the paste that
when the lozenges are subsequently cut out each separated printed or
impressed part shall be situated at the desired position on the lozenge.
The types or raised surfaces of the printing or impressing roller are
arranged in parallel rows, and the said roller has a rising and falling
motion given to it as well as an intermittent rotatory motion.
After the printing or impressing roller has descended upon the paste,
so as to print upon it or stamp or impress upon it a row of separated
inscriptions or designs, the said roller is lifted from the paste and
another portion of the paste is by the operation of the endless carrier
brought beneath it. By the rising of the printing or impressing roller
it is carried against an inking band charged with ink, and a row of the
types or raised parts is inked ready on the next descent of the roller to
print another portion of the paste.
As the printing or stamping roller makes its descending motion it is
rotated through part of a circle whereby a fresh row of the printing or
impressing parts of the roller is brought on the next rising motion
against the inking band. In this way the whole of the rows of types
or raised surfaces of the roller are in succession inked. The inking
band is an endless one and has an intermittent motion given to it, so
that a fresh portion of the band is brought opposite the printing roller

page_text: after each rising and falling motion. The paste printed upon or
impressed as described is carried by the intermittent carrier under a set
of moveable vertical cutters, arranged in a row, by the descent of which
cutters the lozenges are cut from the row of printed or stamped parts
of the paste. The said cutters are hollow or tubular, and work upon
fixed pistons or strippers for removing the lozenges from the cutters.
As the cutters rise with the lozenges in their lower open ends, the said
lozenges are brought against the fixed pistons or strippers and pushed
from the said hollow cutters. The lozenges are received on a recipro-
cating sliding and oscillating or tilting plate which has been brought
under the cutters, and by the retiring and tilting of the said plate the
lozenges are removed from the machine.
For the purpose of feeding a strip or sheet of sugar paste of uniform
thickness to the intermittent carrier of the machine, I employ in front
of the printing or impressing roller a pair of rolls, through which the
paste is passed and by which it is spread out of uniform thickness
before it reaches the endless carrier. To prevent the adhesion of the
paste to the rolls an endless band works over each roll, the paste being
in contact with the said bands. By means of powdered sugar supplied
to the surface of the endless bands by means of hoppers over them the
sugar paste is prevented from adhering to the said bands.
The motions of the several moving parts are taken from a driving
shaft in the following manner :-The printing or stamping roller and the
cutters are carried in a frame, to which a rising and falling motion is
given by box cams on the ends of the said driving shaft, studs on the
said frame engaging in grooves in the said box cams. The intermittent
rotatory motion of the printing or stamping roller is effected by pins on
one end of the roller, coming against on the descent of the said roller a
jointed arm. On the rising of the said roller the pins push back the said
jointed arm and no rotatory motion is given to the roller.
The intermittent motion of the inking band is effected by studs on
the faces of the box cams described, acting against toothed wheels on
the ends of one of the rollers over which the inking band passes. The
fixed pistons or strippers are carried by a transverse bar fixed to the
frame of the machine.
The intermittent motion of the carrying band is effected by a crank
on the end of the driving shaft, giving motion to a pawl lever, the said

page_text: pawl lever driving a ratchet wheel on the end of one of the rollers over
which the carrying band works. The sliding and oscillating plate on
which the cut lozenges are received, and by which they are removed
from the machine, is carried in two forked arms fixed to a cross shaft
underneath the rear end of the machine. The ends or axes of this
plate work in fixed guides.
The cross shaft has a rocking motion given to it by an eccentric on
the driving shaft, the rod of the said eccentric being connected to an
arm on the end of the said cross shaft.
By the combination of parts described the plate is made first to slide
forward under the lifted cutters, and after it has received the lozenges
to retire from under the said cutters, and have a tilting motion given to
it for removing the lozenges from the said plate.
In applying my Invention to machinery for the manufacture of
biscuits, I construct and arrange the parts substantially in the manner
herein before described with respect to the machine for the manufacture
of lozenges.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said William Crosby in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 19th April 1876.

IN MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF LOZENGES, MEDALS, AND OTHER LIKE
ARTICLES OF CONFECTIONERY, WHICH IMPROVEMENTS MAY ALSO BE APPLIED TO
MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF BISCUITS," upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said William Crosby, my executors or
administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or
one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was
to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal
Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Crosby, do hereby declarc
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say :-
My Invention consists of the construction and combination of parts
herein-after described of machinery for the manufacture of lozenges and
other like articles of confectionery, the said construction and com-
bination of parts being also applicable to machinery for the manufacture
of biscuits.
I will describe my Invention as applied to machinery for the manu-
facture of lozenges.
The said machinery consists essentially of an intermittent carrier
consisting of an endless band passing over pulleys, a printing or stamp-
ing roller, a series of cutting tools combined with removing or stripping
tools, and a sliding and tilting plate for receiving the finished lozenges
and removing them from the machine.
A strip or sheet of sugar paste of uniform thickness from which the
lozenges are to be made is fed to the endless carrier, by the motion of
which carrier it is carried under the printing or stamping roller, by the
operation of which roller the paste is printed, or stamped, or impressed
with any required inscription, design, or ornament, the printed or
impressed parts of the paste being so arranged across the paste that
when the lozenges arc subsequently cut out each separated, printed, or
impressed part shall be situated at the desired position of the lozenge.
The types or raised surfaces of the printing or impressing roller are

page_text: arranged in parallel rows, and the said roller has a rising and falling
motion given to it as well as an intermittent rotatory motion.
After the printing or impressing roller has descended upon the paste
so as to print upon it or stamp or impress upon it a row of separated
inscriptions or designs, the said roller is lifted from the paste and
another portion of the paste is by the operation of the endless carrier
brought beneath it. By the rising of the printing or impressing roller
it is carried against an inking band charged with ink, and a row of the
types or raised parts is inked ready on the next descent of the roller to
print another portion of the paste.
As the printing or stamping roller makes its descending motion it is
rotated through part of a circle whereby a fresh row of the printing or
impressing parts of the roller is brought on the next rising motion
against the inking band, in this way the whole of the rows of types or
raised surfaces of the roller are in succession inked. The inking band
is an endless one, and has an intermittent motion given to it so that a
fresh portion of the band is brought opposite the printing roller after
each rising and falling motion. The paste printed upon or impressed,
as described, is carried by the intermittent carrier under a set of
moveable vertical cutters arranged in a row, by the descent of which
cutters the lozenges are cut from the row of printed or stamped parts
of the paste. The said cutters are hollow or tubular and work upon
fixed pistons or strippers for removing the lozenges from the cutters.
As the cutters rise with the lozenges in their lower open ends the said
lozenges are brought against the fixed pistons or strippers and pushed
from the said hollow cutters. The lozenges are received on a recipro-
cating, sliding, and tilting plate which has been brought under the
cutters, and by the retiring and tilting of the said plate the lozenges are
removed from the machine.
For the purpose of feeding a strip or sheet of sugar paste of uniform
thickness to the intermittent carrier of the machine, I employ in front
of the printing or impressing roller a pair of rolls through which the
paste is passed, and by which it is spread out of uniform thickness
before it reaches the endless carrier. To prevent the adhesion of the
paste to the rolls an endless band works over each roll, the paste being
in contact with the said bands. By means of powdered sugar supplied
to the surface of the endless bands by means of hoppers over them the
sugar paste is prevented from adhering to the said bands.

The motions of the several moving parts are taken from a driving
shaft in the following manner :-The printing or stamping roller and
the cutters are carried in a frame to which a rising and falling motion is
given by slides. The intermittent rotatory motion of the printing or
stamping roller is effected by pins on one end of the roller coming
against, on the descent of the said roller, a jointed arm.
On the rising
of the said roller the pins push back the said jointed
rotatory motion is given to the roller.

The intermittent motion of the inking band is effected by slides and
levers acting upon a ratchet wheel on the end of one of the rollers over
which the inking band passes. The fixed pistons or strippers are carried
by a transverse bar fixed to the frame of the machine.
The intermittent motion of the carrying band is effected by slides and
levers giving motion to a pawl lever, the said pawl lever driving a
ratchet wheel on the end of one of the rollers over which the carrying
band works. The sliding and oscillating plate on which the cut lozenges
are received and by which they are removed from the machine is carried
in two forked arms fixed to a cross shaft underneath the rear end of
the machine, a cross bar carrying the plate working in fixed guides.
By the combination of parts described the plate is made first to slide
forward under the lifted cutters, and after it has received the lozenges
to retire from under the said cutters and have a slight tilting motion
given to it for removing the lozenges from the said plate.
In applying my Invention to machinery for the manufacture of
biscuits I construct and arrange the parts substantially in the manner
herein-before described with respect to the machine for the manufacture
of lozenges.
Having explained the nature of my Invention I will proceed to
describe with reference to the accompanying Drawings the manner in
which the same is to be performed.
Figures 1 and 2 represent elevations taken at opposite sides of a
machine constructed according to my Invention for the manufacture of
lozenges and other like articles; Figure 3 is a plan of the same;
Figure is a longitudinal vertical section of the same; Figure 5 is an
end elevation of the same taken at the delivery end of the machine;
and Figure 6 is an end elevation of the same taken at the feeding end of
the machine; Figures 7 and 8 represent longitudinal sections of portions

page_text: of the machine drawn to a larger scale, Figure 7 exhibiting the cutters
and printing or impressing roller in action, and Figure 8 the same out
of action.
The same letters of referenec indicate the same parts in the several
Figures of the Drawings.
a is the bed plate on which the several parts of the machine are
carried; is the intermittent carrier of the machine by means of which
the sugar paste is carried in succession under the impressing or printing
roller and series of cutters. The said carrier 6 consists of an endless
band passing over the pulleys 62, 63, at the ends of the machine. The
pulley b³ is carried in the adjustable block a³, by moving which block
the tightening of the endless band may be effected when necessary. The
sugar paste is placed on the endless band c which constitutes the
receiver, and the said sugar paste is drawn or fed therefrom between the
pair of rolls d, d² (see Figure 4), by the action of which the paste is
spread out of uniform thickness before it reaches the endless intermittent
carrier b. Over the pair of feeding and spreading out rolls d, d², are
endless bands d³, d³, against which the paste comes in contact, powdered
sugar supplied from the hoppers d', d', being deposited on the endless
bands d³, d³, to prevent the paste adhering to the said bands.
The feeding and spreading out rolls d, d, and their endless bands
have an intermittent motion given to them, as herein-after explained,
and the receiving endless band c may be driven from any con-
venient part of the machine if desired. The inclination of the frame
in which the rollers carrying the receiving band c are supported is
capable of adjustment. This is effected by adjusting the position of
the supporting arms c, c, and turning the frame on its centre or
joint c³. e is the printing or stamping roller, having on each of its
faces a row of dies, stamps, or types marked e² (see Figures 7 and 8);
the said dies, stamps, or types, of each row being separated from
each other the required distance, so as to print or impress upon
the sugar paste a row of separated inscriptions or designs. The printing
or impressing roller e has a rising and falling motion, and also an
intermittent rotatory motion; these motions are produced as herein-
after explained. Over the said roller e is an inking band ƒ (having an
intermittent motion) for inking in succession the several rows of types
or dies e² on the roller e; the said band ƒ works over the rollers f², ƒ³.

page_text: The action of the printing or impressing roller e will be best understood
by an examination of Figures 7 and 8. After the printing roller e has
descended upon the paste g on the endless carrier 6 so as to print upon
it or stamp or impress upon it a row of separated inscriptions or designs,
as seen in Figure 7, the said roller e is lifted from the printed or
impressed paste, and another portion of the said paste is by the inter-
mittent motion of the endless carrier 6 brought beneath it. By the
rising of the printing or impressing roller e it is carried against the
inking band charged with ink, and a row of the types or dies e³ is
inked, as illustrated in Figure 8, ready on the next descent of the roller
to print another portion of the paste g.
As the printing or stamping roller e makes its descending motion it
is rotated through part of a circle, whereby a fresh row of the printing
or impressing types or dies e² is brought on the next rising motion
against the inking band. The paste g thus printed upon or impressed is
carried under a row of moveable vertical cutters h, h, having a rising
and falling motion (see Figures 7 and 8). By the descent of these
cutters the lozenges (or other like articles) are cut from the row of
printed parts of the paste, as seen in Figure 7; these cutters h, h, are
hollow or tubular and work over fixed pistons or strippers i. As the
cutters,, risc with the lozenges in their lower open ends the said
lozenges are brought against the lower enlarged ends of the fixed pistons
or strippers i, and the said lozenges are pushed from the said cutters
and are received on a reciprocating sliding and tilting plate k, which
has been brought under the cutters, and by the retiring and tilting of
which the lozenges are removed from the machine. In Figure 8 the
receiving plate is represented in its advanced position under the
cutters h, h, for receiving the lozenges removed from the said cutters,
and in Figure 7 the said plate is represented in its withdrawn
position.
The lozenges on the plate are prevented from re-entering the
machine when the plate k makes its advance stroke by the reciprocating
stopping slide 1, which slide when the receiving plate / makes its
advance motion, descends on to the said plate and prevents the lozenges
thereon being carried by it into the machine. In Figure 8 this stopping
slide is represented in its lowest or acting position, and in Figure 7 in
its raised position. In order to prevent the cutters h, h, on their rising
motion from taking the paste g with them, the said cutters work through

page_text: I will now describe the manner in which the motions of the several
moving parts of the machine are obtained. n is the driving shaft
carrying a fly wheel n², and fast and loose pulleys n³, n². Geared to the
main shaft by the spur gearing p, p², is a parallel shaft q carrying the
eccentrics », r'. These eccentrics work by means of the eccentric
rods, the vertical slides s, t, moving in dovetail grooves in the
frame of the machine (sec the plan Figure 3, and the enlarged views
Figures 7 and 8). From these vertical slides s, t, the several motions of
the machine are taken. The intermittent motion of the carrier b, by
which the paste is in succession carried under the printing or impressing
roller e and cutters h, h, is effected as follows:- On the vertical slide t
is a pin 2 (see Figure 1) which works in the opening represented in the
lever turning on the centre ². The lever is connected by the
connecting rod 3 with the pawl lever a carrying the pawl 6, the latter
alternately engaging with and slipping over the teeth of the ratchet
wheel fixed on the axis of the roller 2 over which the endless
carrier works. The pawl lever u¹ works loosely on the axis of the
roller By the oscillating motion, which is by the arrangement
described communicated to the pawl lever u³ the pawl u³ gives at the
proper time the advance motion to the roller b², and the latter carries
forward through the required distance the endless carrier and the paste
upon it during the time the printing roller e and cutters h, h, are
making their ascending strokes. The return motion of the ratchet
wheel is prevented by the click u³.
The intermittent motion of the feeding and spreading out rolls d, d²,
and their bands is effected in the following manuer :— -On the slide t is a
second pin 3, which works in the oblique slot v³ in the lever v turning
on the centre v³. The lower arm of this lever v is connected through the
rod v¹ with the pawl lever v³ turning loosely on the axis of the roller d.
By the motion of the pawl lever the pawl 2 on the said lever by
engaging with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 7 on the axis of the said
roll gives the advance motion to the rolls d, d, and their bands, and the
paste is spread out and fed to the carrier b. The return motion of the
ratchet wheel is effected by a click 28, and the shafts of the two
rolls d, d, are geared together by the spur gearing d³, d³.

page_text: The rising and falling motions of the cutters h, h, and printing or
impressing roller e are effected by the slides 8, t. Fixed to the said
slides and passing across the machine is a bar or frame to in which the
several cutters h, h, are fixed. Fixed to the said slides s, t, are side
pieces in which the printing or impressing roller e turns, and in
which it is carried. It will be understood by an examination of the
Drawing that on the slides s, t, making their reciprocating vertical
motion a corresponding motion is communicated to the cutters h, h, and
printing or impressing roller e.
The mechanism for giving the intermittent rotatory motion to the
printing or stamping roller e is seen in Figure 1, and the detached view
drawn to a larger scale in Figure 1ª. On the end of the said roller e
is a disc e, the face of which carries pins et, and on the frame of the
machine is a jointed arm e². This arm e³ is capable of being lifted, but
is prevented from descending beyond the position represented in Figure 1
by the stop e. As the roller e descends in the manner herein-before
described one of the pins e' strikes against the end of the jointed arm eð,
and a motion through a quarter of a circle is thereby given to the said
roller. On the rising of the said roller e the pins et push back the
jointed arm e*, but no rotatory motion is communicated to the said
roller. By means of a spring e bearing against one of the faces of the
square end of the shaft of the said roller the latter is firmly held in the
position to which it has been turned.
The intermittent motion of the inking band ƒ for the purpose of
bringing a fresh portion of the band opposite the roller e after cach
rising motion of the latter is effected by the ratchet wheel f" on the axis
of one of the rollers over which the inking band works. Motion is
riven to the ratchet wheels by the pawl f* carried by the slides (see
Figures 3 and 4). The return motion of the said ratchet wheel f³ is
Prevented by the click ƒ³.
The reciprocating motion and slight tilting of the receiving plate k
om which the lozenges are received from the cutters are obtained as
follows: On either side of the machine is a slotted inclined guide a, in
which a cross rod a works, to which cross rod the receiving plate k
is fixed. On a shaft a parallel with the cross rod are two forked
evers x, x, the upper forked ends of which embrace the said cross
rods (see Figures 2, 7, and 8). A rocking motion is given to the

page_text: axis and levers a', at, and a reciprocating and slightly tilting motion
thereby transmitted to the receiving plate by the mechanism, best seen
in Figure 2. The slide & carries a pin s³, which gives a rocking motion
to the lever ³, and this motion is transmitted through the links and
arms, s, to the cross shaft a³, on which the levers a, a, are fixed. By
this working of the levers a, a, the rod carrying the receiving
plate has a reciprocating sliding motion given to it, and as the rod as
works in the inclined guides a, a, the plate as it makes its back or
return motion takes an inclined position, and the lozenges have a ten-
dency to slide from the said plate.
The motion of the stopping slide for preventing the return of the
lozenges into the machine is effected as follows:-On the cross shaft y
are arms y², y*, which are engaged in slots in the said slide 1. A
rocking motion is given to the shaft y by the mechanism, best seen in
Figure 2. On one end of the shaft y is a slotted arms, jointed to the
lever 2 turning on the centre 3; this lever 2 has a rising and falling
motion given to it by a pin 4 on the slide s. As the slides makes its
motion a corresponding motion is transmitted at the proper time through
the pin 4, lever 2, arm, axis y, and arms y², y², to the sliding plate
which has the function herein-before explained.
When I use the machine represented for the manufacture of biscuits
I employ in place of the sugar paste ordinary dough, which is spread
out and fed by the rolls d, d², on to the intermittent carrier to be
printed, stamped, or impressed, and cut out as described with respect to
the sugar paste.
When the sugar or other paste is to be stamped or impressed only by
the dies or types on the roller c, the inking band is not used.
Although I generally use the roller e and cutters h, h, and their
adjuncts in combination, yet the cutters h, h, may be used alone for
cutting out plain or unprinted or unimpressed sugar and other paste.

which the same is to be performed, I wish it to be understood that I
do not limit myself to the precise details herein described and illus
trated, as the same may be varied without departing from the nature
