Improvements in Machinery for Enclosing in Wrappers, Washing
Blue, Blacklead, Soap, or other Substances.
I, HENRY ROSE, of the Firm of Rose Brothers, of Albion Works, Gainsborough, in
the County of Lincoln, Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to provide a simple and compact apparatus for
rapidly and neatly enclosing in wrappers, washing blue, black lead, soap or other
substances. The apparatus consists of an arrangement whereby the wrappers and
substance to be enclosed therein are fed to a series of holders which carry them along
intermittently into position to be acted on by folding devices whereby the wrappers are
folded round the substance and if required the wrappers secured by paste gum or
other cement, and the packets thus formed ejected from the holders and the holders
returned into position to receive fresh charges. The wrappers may be fed along a
platform by an endless band having points or projections which engage the said
wrappers, so as to carry the said wrappers singly towards a chute or hopper by which
they are conducted onto the periphery of a disc or wheel having openings or recesses
therein each of a suitable size to receive the substance to be enclosed by a wrapper.
The chute or hopper down which the wrappers pass to this wheel is provided with
cheeks or guides which in combination with gripping devices on the disc or wheel
ensure the wrappers being correctly placed in position over the openings or recesses
with reference to the substance to be enclosed in the said wrappers. The charges of
substance or material to be enclosed in the wrappers are fed intermittently by
means of a endless band or travelling apron, along a table into position opposite
the openings or recesses in the disc or wheel, and as each charge of the substance or
material comes opposite one of the said openings, it is pushed thereinto by a lever,
which then withdraws to admit of the wheel making a motion of partial rotation to
bring the next opening or recess into position to receive a charge of material, the
intermittent partial rotation of the disc or wheel being suitably timed to correspond
with the movements of the endless band carrying the charges of material. The
substance or material is prevented from falling from the recesses in the disc or wheel
as it rotates by a stationary shield or protector extending partly round the periphery
of the said disc or wheel. Each opening or recess in the disc or wheel containing a
charge of material receives a wrapper from the feeding hopper or chute hereinbefore
described, the said wrapper being enaged by one of the gripping devices carried on the
said disc or wheel the said gripping device being actuated by a rod or lever so as to
open the gripping device at the required period to receive the edge of the wrapper
the said lever then releasing the said gripping jaw to admit of it closing under the
action of a spring on to the wrapper so that on the next partial rotation of the disc or
wheel the wrapper and the material or substance to be enclosed therein are brought
into position to be discharged from the disc or wheel by an arrangement of levers into
one of the holders of an endless chain of holders in which the wrapper is folded over
or around the material the wrapper being released from the gripping jaw at the time
the material with the wrappers is forced into the said holder. By the material being

page_text: forced into the holder with the wrapper two opposed ends or sides of the wrapper are
caused to project above the holder. When the holders have made their next
movement to bring another holder into position to receive a charge one of the
projecting ends or sides of the wrapper is acted upon by a folder or folders so as to
fold the said wrapper over the top and down the opposite side of the charge of
material after which at the next movement of the holder the other upstanding portion
of the wrapper is folded down onto the previously folded portion. If desired the edge
of the wrapper may have gum or other cement applied to it, to cause it to adhere to
the already folded part. The holder next comes to rest beneath folders which descend
onto the ends of the wrapper which project from both sides or ends of the substance
or material in the holder, and folds down the said ends of the wrapper from the top.
The holders then make another advance and while in this position swinging folders
are caused to move first in one direction so as to fold one side of each of the projecting
ends of the wrapper against the downwardly folded part and then in the opposite
direction so as to fold the other side of each of the projecting ends. Gum or other
cement may now if desired be applied by any suitable means to the tab or portion of
the wrapper now left projecting the holder then advancing to the next position. The
tabs or projecting ends of the wrapper may be acted on by stationary folders arranged
to act on the tabs as the holders are moving into the next position so as to fold up the
said tabs against the parts already folded over the end of the substance or material in
holder and so complete the packet which may be ejected from the apparatus by a
I do not
pusher which comes into operation when the holders next come to rest.
restrict myself to any particular arrangement of mechanism for giving to the various
parts the inotious required the movements however should be suitably timed to give
the various movements in their sequential order and to bring the parts in the positions
to operate in the manner described it being understood that the various operations
are simultaneously effected upon different wrappers as they pass in succession
through the machine, that is whilst the first operation is being performed on one
wrapper the second operation is being performed on the preceding wrapper and
the third operation on the next preceding wrapper and so on.

Improvements in Machinery for Enclosing in Wrappers, Washing
Blue, Blacklead, Soap, or other Substances.
I, HENRY ROSE, of the Firm of Rose Brothers, of Albion Works, Gainsborough, in
the County of Lincoln, Engineers, 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 :—
My invention has for its object to provide a simple and compact apparatus for
rapidly and neatly enclosing the wrappers, washing blue, blacklead, soap or other
substances. The apparatus consists of an arrangement whereby the wrappers and
substance to be enclosed therein are fed to a series of holders which carry them along
intermittently into position to be acted on by folding devices whereby the wrappers
are folded round the substance and if required the wrappers secured by paste gum or
other cement and the packets thus formed ejected from the holders and the holders
returned into position to receive fresh charges. The wrappers may be fed along a
platform by an endless band having points or projections which engage the said
wrappers so as to carry the said wrappers singly towards a chute or hopper by which

page_text: they are each conducted into position to receive a block or charge of substance from
the periphery of a disc or wheel having openings or recesses therein each of a suitable
size to receive a block or charge of substance to be enclosed by a wrapper. The
charges of substance or material to be enclosed in the wrappers are fed intermittently
by means of an endless band or travelling apron, along a table, into position opposite
the sides of the openings or recesses in the disc or wheel and as each charge of the
substance or material comes opposite one of the said openings it is pushed thereinto
by a lever, which then withdraws to admit of the wheel making a motion of partial
rotation to bring the next opening or recess into position to receive a charge of
material, the intermittent partial rotations of the disc or wheel being suitably timed
to correspond with the movements of the endless band carrying the charges of
material and with the travelling motion of the band or apron by which the wrappers
are fed into the hopper. The substance or material is prevented from falling from
the recesses in the disc or wheel as it rotates, by a stationary shield or protector
extending partly round the periphery of the said disc or wheel. An arrangement of
levers constituting a gripping device is provided by means of which the charges or
blocks of substance are transferred from the recesses in the dise or wheel, together
with the wrappers fed into the hopper, into the boxes or holders of an endless chain
of holders in which the wrappers are folded over or around the blocks by folders as
hereinafter described. By the pressure into the holder, of the block of substance
with the wrapper, two opposite ends or sides of the wrapper are caused to project
above the holder. When the holders have made their next movement to bring
another holder into position to receive a block or charge of material, one of the
projecting ends or sides of the wrapper is acted upon by a folder or folders so as to
fold the said wrapper over the top and down the opposite side of the block or charge
of material, after which, at a subsequent movement of the holder the other upstanding
portion of the wrapper is folded down onto the previously folded portion. If desired
the wrapper may have gum or other cement applied to it, to cause it to adhere to the
already folded part. The holder is then moved into position to have the top and
sides of the ends of the wrapper which project from both sides or ends of the
substance or material in the holder folded in, the sides of the said projecting ends
being folded in by swinging folders which are caused to move first in one direction
so as to fold one side of each of the projecting ends of the wrapper and then in the
opposite direction so as to fold the other side of each of the projecting ends. Gum
or other cement may now if desired be applied by any suitable means to the tab or
portion of the wrapper now left projecting, and the holder then advances to the next
position. The tabs or projecting ends of the wrapper may be acted on by stationary
folders arranged to act on the tabs as the holders are moving into the next position
so as to fold up the said tabs against the parts already folded over the end of the
substance or material in the holder, and so complete the packet which may be ejected
from the apparatus by a pusher which comes into operation when the holders come
to rest opposite the said ejector. I do not restrict myself to any particular arrangement
of mechanism for giving to the various parts the motions required the movements
however should be suitably timed to give the various movements in their sequential
order and to bring the parts in the positions to operate in the manner described it
being understood that the various operations are simultaneously effected upon
different wrappers as they pass in succession through the machine, that is whilst the
first operation is being performed on one wrapper, the second operation is being
performed on the preceding wrapper and the third operation on the next preceding
wrapper and so on.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents in side elevation a machine
constructed according to my invention and Figure 2 is a plan of the machine a
portion only of the wrapper feeding apron and table, and the apron for feeding the
charges of substance to be wrapped, being shewn to economise space. Figure 3 is a
sectional elevation of a portion of the machine drawn to a larger scale shewing the
notched disc or feed wheel with a block of substance therein engaged by the gripping
device and about to be transferred thereby to the endless chain of boxes or holders.

page_text: Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 shewing the block and a wrapper in one of
the boxes or holders and released from the gripping device. Figure 5 is a side
elevation and Figure 6 a plan of the notched or recessed disc or feed wheel drawn
to a still larger scale. Figure 7 is a side elevation and Figure 8 a plan of portion of
the feed wheel and the endless apron for feeding the blocks of substance into
position to be pressed into the recesses in the feed wheel; shewing also the guard
for preventing the blocks from falling from the feed wheel. Figure 9 is an elevation
of the folding device for folding in the sides of the laterally projecting ends of the
wrappers and Figures 10, 11 and 12 shew in plan the said folding device in the
various positions it occupies when folding in the said ends of the wrappers and
Figures 13 and 14 represent in elevation and plan respectively the ejector for
expelling the wrapped blocks of substance from the machine. A is the main driving
shaft provided with fast and loose pulleys B receiving motion by a driving strap
from any suitable prime motor. On the shaft A is keyed a cam C carrying a stud
with a friction bowl D which at each complete rotation of the said shaft engages in
one of a series of notches e in a disc E fast on a counter shaft F whereby an inter-
mittent notion of partial rotation is given to the said shaft. Mounted on a stud a
is a two armed lever bone arm b carrying a friction bowl c which is maintained
by a spring d in contact with the periphery of the cam C whilst the other arm b¹
carries a friction bowl d' which is caused by the spring to enter one of the
notches e in the disc E to retain it in the position to which it has been moved
by the bowl D. On the shaft A is a sprocket wheel G engaging, with an endless
chain H which also engages with a sprocket wheel I on a stud or shaft K carrying
a toothed wheel 1 which gears with a corresponding wheel M on a shaft O arranged
parallel to the driving shaft A. On the shaft O is a sprocket wheel P engaging
an endless chain Q provided with projections R by which the wrappers 1 (Fig. 3)
for enclosing the charges or blocks of substance, are fed into a hopper S the said
wrappers falling singly into position opposite an opening S¹ in the side of the
hopper as shewn in Figure 3 to receive a block of substance to be enclosed therein.
The blocks of substance to be wrapped are placed by hand or otherwise on an
endless band or apron T to which intermittent traversing movements are given by
a pawl U and ratchet wheel V carried on the shaft W of one of the drums X round
which the endless band or apron T passes, the pawl U being carried on a lever Y
mounted loosely on the shaft W and acted on by a cam or tappet Z on the main
driving shaft A, the said lever Y being maintained in contact with the cam Z by a
spring Z. Mounted on a shaft f opposite the opening S¹ in the side of the hopper S
is a disc g having in the periphery openings or recesses g¹ to receive the blocks of
substance from the endless band or apron T. The shaft f with the disc receives
intermittent motion of partial rotation from the shaft F by gear wheels h and at
each intermittent partial rotation a recess or opening in the disc g is brought oppo-
site the lower end of a lever i by which the foremost block of substance is pushed
from the band or apron T into the said recess in the disc g another of the recesses
on the said disc being at the same time opposite the opening SI on the side of the
hopper S. The lever i is mounted on a stud k and is connected at its upper end
by a rod to a crank pin m on a shaft n which receives a continuous rotary inotion
from the main shaft A through the bevel gear p and vertical shaft q the speed of
rotation of the shaft n and the intermittent motions of the endless apron T and the
disc g being timed so that the forward block of substance on the apron T is brought
opposite a recess in the disc and while the said disc and apron are at rest the lever i
is caused by the crank pin m to push the said foremost block of substance from the
apron T into the recess or opening in the disc and then to retire to admit of the next
intermittent movement of the disc g to bring the next opening or recess into
position to receive a block, and the apron T to bring the next block into position to
be pushed by the lever i into the said opening or recess. The blocks of substance
pushed into the openings or recesses in the disc g are prevented from falling there-
from by a stationary shield or guard which partly surrounds the said disc g. By
the intermittent movement of the disc g the blocks of substance in the recesses of

page_text: the disc are brought one after another opposite the opening S¹ in the side of the
hopper S in which, as before described, has been fed a wrapper 1. Each block when
brought opposite the opening S¹ is engaged by a gripping device and carried thereby
from the recess in the disc, together with the wrapper from the hopper S, into one
of the boxes or holders u of an endless chain of holders in which the wrappers are
folded round the blocks of substance the said endless chain of holders being carried
on a polygonal wheel or disc u fast on the shaft F and on a similar wheel or disc u³
fast on a shaft u³ mounted in bearings near the delivery end of the machine. The
gripping device comprises two pairs of arms & $1 the arms s being fast on a shaft v
whilst the arms s' are loosely mounted on the shaft and connected to one end of a
spring w which tends to separate the said arms from the arms s. On the shaft v
carrying the arms 8 s' is fixed an arm 82 connected to a spring w' which tends to turn
the shaft in the directions to draw the arms s towards the arms s¹. On the main
shaft A are cams xx¹ see Figures 4 and 5 against which friction bowls y y¹ carried
respectively on the arın s² and the arms s¹ are caused to bear by the tension of the
springs w. These cams are timed with reference to each other and to the move-
ments of the other moving parts of the machine that when the notched disc or feed
wheel has brought a block of material opposite the opening S₁ in the side of the
hopper S the cam xl will press forward the arms s¹ against the front side of said block
and at the same time the cam x will permit the arms S moving under the action of the
spring w to come into contact with the opposite or rear side of the said block of
material after which by the continued rotation of the shaft A the cams x and x¹ will
allow of the springs w and w¹ to draw the arms 8 s¹ in the direction of the arrow
Figure 3 and press the block held thereby together with the wrapper into one of the
boxes or holders u which has been brought into position to receive it.
The boxes or holders u each have a spring controlled hinged side u which is
normally closed under the action of the spring but is opened, when the box is in
position to receive a block of material, by an arm z carried loosely on the shaft f and
provided at its free end with a stud carrying a friction bowl z which, under the
action of a spring attached to the said arm z, is caused to press upon a projection u
on the hinged side u of the box or holder u, when in position to receive a block of
material, causing the said hinged side to open slightly as shewn by dotted lines in
Figure 3 to facilitate the entrance of the block of material into the said box. Forined
in one with or attached to the arm is another arm carrying at its free end a
friction bowl 25 acted upon by a suitably timed cam 26 to turn the arms zz on
the shaft so as to release the hinged side of box , after a block has been placed
therein by the gripping device, to admit of the said hinged side closing under the
action of its spring us. The front and rear ends of the wrapper pressed into the box
or holder u by the block of material, are caused-to project above the box or holder as
shewn at 3-4 in Figure 4. The block of material with a wrapper having been
placed in the box or holder u by the gripping device the arins & s' are caused by the
cana and the spring w to separate, as shewn in Figure 4 so as to release the said
block. It will thus be seen that during one revolution of the shaft A a motion of
partial rotation is given to the shaft bringing a box or holder in the endless chain
of holders into position to receive a charge of material, the said endless chain being
retained in this position by the bowl d' on the lever arm 61 engaging in one of the
notches e in the disc E; a wrapper is fed into the hopper by the endless chain Q; a
block of material is brought into position by the endless band T to be inserted; the
said block is inserted by the lever i into a recess g¹ in the wheel or disc g brought
into position to receive it, and the nipping device carries a previously inserted block
from a recess in the disc into a box or holder u in the endless chain of boxes as
herein before described. At each partial rotation of the shaft F a block of material
and a wrapper in a box or holder in the endless chain of boxes is brought into
position to be acted on by a folding device 5 which folds down onto the top of the
block the upstanding end 3 of the wrapper. The folding device 5 comprises an
arm 6 fast on a rock shaft 7 and having at its free end a stud 8 on which is mounted
a folding finger 9 and on which stud is also arranged a torsional spring 10 tending
g

page_text: to force the folding finger outward such outward movement being limited by a pin
or projection 12 on the finger coming into contact with the end of a slot 11 in
which the pin 12 slides. On the rock shaft 7 is an arm 13 carrying a friction
bowl 13x acted on by a cam 14 on the shaft n, to elevate the arm 6, the said cam
being shaped and timed so as to admit, at the required periods, the arm 6 being
depressed by a spring 15 to bring the finger 9 into contact with the upstanding end 3
of the wrapper and wipe it over onto the block as shewn in Fig. 4" Sheet 8 the
said finger 9 pressing with a yielding pressure on the said wrapper. At the next
intermittent movement of the chain of holders a folder 16 and with it an arm or
presser 17 (shewn in side elevation and transverse section in Fig. 4B) are caused by
a spring 18 to descend to fold the portion 3 of the wrapper which overlaps the block,
down the side of the block adjacent to the hinged side of the box, which hinged side
is opened out, to admit of the entrance of the folding blade 16, by an arm 19 coming
into contact with the projection ue, the said arm 19 being connected to and operating
simultaneously with, the device by which the laterally projecting ends of the wrapper
are folded down as hereinafter described. The presser 17 and folding blade 16 are
mounted on a shaft or rod 21 and are caused to descend by the spring 18, and are
raised by a cam 22 on the shaft n acting on an arm 23 on the folder. The presser 17
and the folding blade 16 are free to move independently on the rod or shaft 21 but
are connected together by a spring 22x so that when the presser has descended onto
the block it is caused by the connecting spring 22x to press on the top of the
block to hold the wrapper, while the folder 16 further descends to fold the
wrapper down the side of the block, after which the folding blade is raised by
the cam 22, and when rising comes into contact with a stud or projection 23x on the
presser 17 so as to carry the said presser up with the said folder. This folding
of, one end of the wrapper round the block having been effected the chain of
holders makes the next intermittent movement bringing the box containing the
partially wrapped block beneath a stationary plate 24 by which the upstanding
end 4 of the wrapper is folded down onto the block. Swinging or oscillating
folders 25, arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the chain of boxes, are provided
for folding in the sides of the laterally projecting ends of the wrapper. These
folders are illustrated in Figures 9 to 12 in the different positions they assume to
effect the folding of the wrapper. Each folding device or pair of folders comprises
a plate 25 mounted on a vertical pivot 26 and connected by a rod 27 and coupling
piece 28 to one arin of a forked piece 29 depending from a rock shaft or rod 30
mounted in bearing 31 bolted to the bed or table of the machine.
The plate 25 carries two blocks 32, 32x which are fitted to slide to a limited extent
on arms projecting from the said plate; these blocks press upon the sides of the
projecting end of the wrapper to fold the said sides inwards and are forced outwards
on the arms by springs 33 which admit of the said blocks yielding to any slight
variation in the sizes of the blocks being wrapped, the movement of each block being
restricted by a screw 34 passing through a slot in the top surface of the block and
screwing into the arm on which the block is mounted." Each arm of the forked
piece 29 carries a similar folding device or pair of folders for acting simultaneously
on both laterally projecting ends of the wrapper. One arm of the forked piece 29 is
connected to a spring 35 which effects the movement of the folders in one direction
they being moved in the opposite direction against the power of the said spring by a
cam 36 on the shaft n acting on an arm 37 on the rock shaft or rod 30. Figure 10)
shews the position the folders occupy when the chain of boxes commences its motion
to bring the partially wrapped block into position to have the laterally projecting
ends of the wrapper folded, the said folders move under the action of the springs 35
in the direction of the arrows while the partly enclosed block of substance is moving
into position between the blocks 32, 32x of the folders shewn in Figure 11 in which
position the said block rests while the folders continue their movement in the
direction of the arrows, into the position shewn in Figure 12, whereby the blocks 32x
fold in the rear sides of the projecting ends of the wrapper, after which the said
folders are moved by the cam back into the position shewn in Figure 11 to admit of

page_text: the folders 38 descending to fold down the upper part of the laterally projecting ends
of the wrapper. These folders 39 are shewn clearly in Fig. 4° Sheet 8, they are
carried in a frame 39 mounted on the shaft 21 and drawn down by a spring 41 to
effect the folding of the wrapper the said folders being raised against the power of
the spring, by a cam 42 on the shaft n acting on a bowl 40 on an arm 41 projecting.
from the frame 39 which also carries the arm 19 herein before referred to.
The top
and rear sides of the projecting ends of the wrapper having been folded down and
the folders 38 raised the folders 35 are caused by the cam 36 to rock on their
pivots 26 into the position shewn in Figure 10 whereby the forward sides of the
projecting ends of the wrapper are folded in by the blocks 32 and then by the next.
movement of the chain of boxes the bottom tabs of the wrapper by coming into
contact with stationary inclined webs or surfaces 42× shewn in Fig. 4D Sheet 8 are
folded up against the previously folded parts of the ends of the wrappers the said tabs
being pressed against the block by cheeks 43 forming continuations of the inclined
surfaces 42* between which cheeks the wrapped block is moved by the chain of
boxes into position to be ejected from the machine. The ejector is shewn in elevation
and plan respectively in Figures 13 and 14 and consists of an arm 43* having a
stem 44 fitted to slide in a bracket 45 the said stem being connected by a rod 46 to a
crank dise 47 on the shaft n by the rotation of which disc the arm 43* is caused to
reciprocate at the required periods to force the wrapped block of substance from the
chain of boxes as they come into position opposite the said arm.
It will be understood that the various operations are simultaneously effected upon
different blocks and wrappers as they pass in succession through the machine that is
to say while a block of substance is being pushed into the feed wheel, a preceding
block with a wrapper is being transferred from the feed wheel into one of the boxes of
the endless chain, other preceding blocks are being wrapped and a wrapper block is
being ejected from the machine.
