page_text: I HENRY GARDNER of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Patent Agent, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention which has been communicated to me
from abroad by Jean Scherbel and Theodor Remus both of Dresden, Kingdom of
Saxony, Empire of Germany Manufacturers, to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to scoop, plough or gouge a strip from the surface
of pasteboard, card board, millboard, or straw or similar boards used for the
manufacture of what are known as pasteboard, cardboard millboard, paper and
like boxes, said scoop, plough or gouge having a face or cutting edge or edges
corresponding in shape or nearly so to that of the groove or channel that has to be
formed in the surface of the board at what is to be the folding or bent portion of
the same.
In connection with the scoop, plough or gouge, pressure rollers are employed
which bear upon the surface of the board at the point or position of the cutting,
the board being upon a roller the rotation of which carries it through the machine,
guides being fitted.
The pressure rollers may be plain surfaced or otherwise but do not exercise any
indenting or cutting action as referred to in my previous applications for Patents
Nos. 5894 and 12477 in the year 1886.
The pressure rollers are carried by adjustable holders capable of being fixed in
V or other shaped grooves of a beam to regulate their pinch on the material and
also their distance apart to suit the breadth of the scoop, plough or gouge to be
used. The scoop, plough or gouge is set in an adjustable holder also fixable as to
height and position for determining the depth of cut.
The cutting face of the tool would correspond to that of the groove to be cut
whether it be a plain V, two angled sides and a flat or other base, two vertical
sides and a flat or other base, or with one inclined side and one vertical and with
a flat or other base, or with a gutter shaped groove or channel, the scooping
ploughing or gouging being effected by one tool or by a combination tool to con-
stitute a single cutter.
The holder of the cutter is so shaped that the strip which is removed from the
board is guided and curls itself clear of the work.

I HENRY GARDNER of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Patent Agent, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention. which has been communicated to me
from abroad by Jean Scherbel and Theodor Remus both of Dresden, Kingdom of
Saxony, Empire of Germany Manufacturers, 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 this invention is to scoop, plough or gouge a strip from the surface
of paste-board, card-board mill-board or straw or similar boards used for the
manufacture of what are known as paste-board, cardboard, millboard, paper, and
like boxes, said scoop, plough or gouge having a face or cutting edge or edges
corresponding in shape or nearly so to that of the groove or channel that has to be
formed in the surface of the board at what is to be the folding or bent portion of
the same.
In connection with the scoop, plough or gouge pressure rollers are employed
which bear upon the surface of the board at the point or position of the cutting,
the board being upon a roller the rotation of which carries it through the machine,
guides being fitted.
The pressure rollers may be plain surfaced or otherwise but do not exercise any
indenting or cutting action as is referred to in my previous applications for Patents
Nos. 5894 and 12477 in the year 1886.
The pressure rollers are carried by adjustable holders capable of being fixed in
V or other shaped grooves of a beam to regulate their pinch on the material and
also their distance apart to suit the breadth of the scoop, plough or gouge to be
used. The scoop, plough, or gouge is set in an adjustable holder also fixable as to
height and position for determining the depth of cut.
The cutting face of the tool corresponds to that of the groove to be cut whether
it be a plain V, two angled sides and a flat or other base, two vertical sides and a
flat or other base, or with one inclined side and one vertical and with a flat or
other base, or with a gutter shaped groove or channel the scooping ploughing or
gouging being effected by one tool or by a combination tool to constitute a
single cutter.
The holder of the cutter is so shaped that the strip which is removed from the
· board is guided and curls itself clear of the work,
The invention will be understood by reference to the annexed drawings,
Figure 1 showing a front elevation, and Figure 2 a side view partly in section.
A A are two rollers plain or shaped on their faces as pressure rollers only, to
bear upon the board D to keep it in contact with the roller E while said roller E
by its rapid rotation carries the board through in the direction of the arrow.
The rollers AA are carried in separate holders B B which are affixable in a beam C
by bolt G and pinch nut I to suit the width of the scoring tool J which is carried
by the holder or frame K also affixable in the beam C by its bolt N and pinch
↑

page_text: nut M. The scoring tool J which is of gouge form on its cutting edge but set
back at the lower part so that the points a, a, cut the surface of the board slightly
in advance of that part which cuts the bottom of the groove or channel whether
the scoring be of V shape formed with two angled sides as at Figure 3 or with
two angled sides and a flat base as at Figure 4, or with one angle and one vertical
side and a flat base as at Figure 5, or with two vertical sides and a flat base as at
Fig. 6 or of gutter shape as at Figure 7, the cutting face of the tool in each case
corresponding thereto but with the points in advance as above set forth.
The holder or frame K of the gouge tool is shaped to allow the strip as removed
to pass freely away clear of the work and to prevent any chance of the strip as
removed accidentally wrapping round the pressure rollers A A. I place a curved
strip of metal U between the two rollers A A to lead the strip clear. The stem of
this strip U is secured to the beam C by the pinch of the holder B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
For scoring paper, paste and other like boards, the combination of a gouge tool
and pressure rollers arranged and acting in the manner hereinbefore described and
substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
