of the Commissioners of Patents on the 20th July 1878.
" IM-
ERNEST DANGOISE, of Brussels, in the Kingdom of Belgium, Mechanician.
PROVED MACHINERY FOR MANUFACTURING AND PRINTING, OR STAMPING IF DESIRED,
DIFFERENT ARTICLES IN PAPER, SUCH AS BAGS, ENVELOPES, AND OTHER SIMILAR
ARTICLES."
This Invention has for its object an improved machine for making at one
operation bags, envelopes, address wrappers, tickets, and other similar articles in
paper, and printed if required.
For making bags, envelopes, and like articles, the paper rolled on bobbins of the
width desired for bags to be produced is placed at one end of the machine on two
rollers placed one above the other, and the two bands of paper to form the bags or
other articles by gumming one on the other are unrolled from the said bobbins and
introduced at the same time into the machine.
The upper band is about is about 2 centimetres wider than the lower one for the
purpose of folding and gumming the edges of the first upon the second.
The bands of paper coming from the upper bobbin pass between two rollers, and
under the iron lath, which puts a line of paste across it.
The bands coming from the under roller pass between 2 rollers and the cutting
devices, where they receive the indentations necessary for assisting their gumming
to the upper bands, with which they re-unite to pass into the folding apparatus and
over the gun pulleys, where they receive the longitudinal lines of gum or paste for
closing the two sides of the bag. From thence the bands close together, pass under
a roller and a presser to enter into a pair of pincers adjusted to seize one length of
Price 1071

page_text: the paper article. These bands pass then under an inking table provided with a
blanket or felt, and the necessary type, where they receive the required printed
impression. They are carried from there between rollers, which take them under
a knife, where they are cut crossways. This knife is provided with a lath, which
forms the plait in which the gum or paste is deposited by a mechanical paster;
then steel blades push the bags between pressing rollers, which finish the pasting,
and places them on an endless band moving by the machine as required.
Instead of placing the bobbins on an upper and lower roller as described, they
may be placed perfectly free, each of them on two rollers to be held in place by a
third roller resting on them, that is, the bobbins of paper may be placed between
three rollers. All these rollers, as well as the bobbins turning exactly at the same
speed as the pincers by a rack fixed there, and a combination of gearing and levers
form a break or stop when the rollers ought to be arrested.
A counter combined with the movement of the knife and by means of an eccentric
and a ratchet wheel, pulleys, and gearing, automatically counts the numbers of the
bags or other articles made at each fall of the knife; the eccentric moves the ratchet
wheel one tooth; and if, for example, that wheel has twenty-five teeth, it will count
twenty-five bags for one revolution; at this moment a lever falls into a little notch,
and by means of a rack and gearing moves for a small distance forward the endless
band upon which there is now piled a packet of twenty-five bags.
For the address bands the transverse pasting apparatus is suppressed, and also
certain rollers and also their upper supports and the severence is made without
folding the bands. A roller is added, which is placed near the endless band of the
counter by means of a chain and gearing.
To produce tickets, &c., in place of two bobbins of paper placed upon upper and
lower axles, it is sufficient to suppress one of the two and to place on the other an
endless roll of paper to stop the pasting mechanism, to suppress the folders, and to
arrange the knife transversely, as explained in the preceding paragraph; and for
cutting the endless band of paper longitudinally, the drawing rollers are replaced
by two other rollers, one of which is fitted with cutting blades, which enter into
grooves made in the other, and the paper is thus cut longitudinally, passing between
the two rollers.

page_text: SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said Ernest Dangoise in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 6th November
1878.
ERNEST DANGOISE, of Brussels, in the Kingdom of Belgium, Mechanician. "Iм-
PROVED MACHINERY FOR MANUFACTURING AND PRINTING, OR STAMPING IF DESIRED,
DIFFERENT ARTICLES IN PAPER, SUCH AS BAGS, ENVELOPES, AND OTHER SIMILAR
ARTICLES."
The improved machine which forms the subject of the present Invention performs
the work of cutting, folding, gumming, or stamping, or printing of the above men-
tioned articles, which are at the same time counted and finally deposited in several
rows of packets, varying from 1 to 50, according to the size of the objects to be
made and to the breadth of the machine. All this work is performed automatically
by nearly simultaneous operations, and with perfect exactitude and regularity, the
speed varying only according to the size of the work to be done.
The paper enters into the machine at one end and issues from the other in the
shape of productions ready for use.
In the first place I shall minutely describe the working of the machine for
manufacturing gummed articles, such as bags, envelopes, &c., as offering certain
difficulties in their execution, which are not met with in the production of different
other articles, such as tickets, addresses, labels, running numbers, office notes, &c., &c.,
the use of which is so universally frequent in railway and other administrations that
the least economy in their manufacture will amount to great sums.
In all cases the paper is used as it arrives from the paper mill without necessi-
tating any preliminary preparation.
For the manufacture of bags for instance, the paper is rolled upon wooden or
other bobbins, corresponding in length with the width of the bags to be made, till
the diameter of said bobbins is augmented to about 2 feet. They are then placed
at one end of the machine in number sufficient to fill up its breadth.
The Drawings accompanying this Specification represent an elevation and plan
of the machine in question, and also some of its productions (a paper bag and an
address wrapper).
A machine of 2 feet and 2 inches in breadth between the side frames is capable
of producing at one operation 4 bags of 5 inches in width, or more than 7000
per hour. Amachine of greater dimensions, for instance, of 4 feet breadth, will
manufacture at one single operation 15 bags of 2%, inches in width, or 25,000 to
30,000 pieces per hour entirely completed and counted, &c.
Any size can be made by this machine, and even different sizes at a time.
The arrangement of the several parts of machinery and their combined action
will be readily understood from the following description and the accompanying
Drawings, the same letters and numbers of reference indicating the same parts in
the corresponding Figures.
On Sheet I., Figure 1 represents a longitudinal elevation of the machine;
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
On Sheet II., Figure 1 illustrates a section of the knife, the folding apparatus,
and the second mechanical paster for the bottom of the bags, passing through the
line A, B; Figure 2 is a plan of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a section through C, D, of the folding apparatus and the gum pulleys;
Figure 4 is a plan of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a section through the line E, F, of the folding apparatus and the gum
pulleys.
Figure 6 represents a half opened bag having its bottom gummed, but not folded
together, in order to show the gum, and the same bag printed and entirely finished
exactly as it issues from the machine,

page_text: Figure 7 is an address wrapper consisting of two pieces gummed together, and
baving received a printed impression.
In Figures 1 and 2, Sheet I., A represents the bed or base of the machine;
'B, B1, B, is the frame which supports all the working parts and contrivances of
the apparatus.
"
C represents a horizontal shaft carrying a fly wheel D and two pulleys, a loose
and a fast one, which latter are not shown in the Drawings, but are to be fixed on
the prolongation of the said shaft C and their diameters, to be calculated according
to the velocity ratio of the transmission by which the shaft C is to be put in motion,
so that they shall make about 90 revolutions per minute. On the shaft C are fixed
two pinions E, E¹, which are in gear with the toothed wheels F, F', secured to a
transverse axis G. On this axis G are keyed the eccentric wheels or cam plates
H, H, which impart motion to the printing plate I, to the under surface of which
are adjusted the composing sticks carrying the electro-types or other characters
chosen to make the required impression.
The two toothed wheels F, F, have one of their spokes formed in the shape
of a crank provided with slides and an adjustable crank pin J, J¹, which can
be drawn away from the axis G according to the length of the paper bags to
be made. The said crank pins J and J act in combination with two connecting
rods K, K', which are attached by their other ends to a pair of pincers L.
These pincers L consist of two movable plates which open during one half revo-
lution of the toothed wheels F, F', in consequence of their being operated upon
by the cam plates M, M¹, M", M1, which lift the rails 140 and 141, and the upper
plate 52 by means of the eccentric rods, Nos. 142, 143, 144, and 145.
When the pincers have arrived at the end of the journey or stroke, the upper
plate 52 is lowered in the same manner as it has been raised, and compresses between
itself and the lower plate 53, the bands of paper as well as a felt, No. 54; they then
carry forward a proper length of paper for the formation of the articles.
The aforesaid cams M, M³, M¹¹, Mi¹¹, are put in action by the bevil wheels N, N',
fixed on a longitudinal shaft O which derives motion from the bevil wheels P, P!,
commanded or driven by the gearing Q, Q. The longitudinal shaft O also imparts
à reciprocating motion to the transverse knife R by means of the gearing S, S¹,
turning on the axis T, upon which are keyed the eccentric wheels or cams U, U¹,
which actuate the knife R. On this axis T is further fixed the cam V which acts
upon the paster W by means of the rack X. On the said axis T is also fixed the
eccentric Y which carries the ratchet wheel Z of the counter through the space of
one tooth at each fall of the knife R.
The ratchet wheel Z has 25 teeth, consequently it will make an entire revolution
whilst the knife R is moving 25 times up and down, and whilst the pressing
and guide rollers, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are placing 4 packets containing
éach 25 bags on the endless band 7.
On the axis No. 8 of the ratchet wheel Z is fixed a pulley No. 9 provided with a
notch into which the lever 10 falls at every time the ratchet wheel Z has completed
an entire revolution, thereby bringing the pinion No. 11 in gear with the rack 12,
which latter on its back ward journey will, by the medium of the pinions 11 and 13,
advance the endless band No. 7 to a distance slightly greater than the length of the
paper bags issuing from the machine.
The longitudinal shaft O also communicates rotation to the transverse shaft 14
by means of the gearings 15 and 16. This shaft No. 14 serves to actuate the
cutting devices 17, consisting of a cast-iron piece 18 which traverses the machine,
and is secured to the side frame B¹¹ (in this piece are adjusted the dies), and of an
iron piece 19 adjustable between cheeks and carrying the punches, which receive
motion from the axis 14 through the eccentric rods of the bronze No. 20 acted upon
by the cams Nos. 21 and 22.
The cutting devices remove all such parts of paper as might hinder the formation
of the corners of the bags, particularly when thick paper is employed; it is further

page_text: intended to cut out from the paper, at the same time a piece in the shape of a half
moon, whereby the opening of the bags will be facilitated..
.
No. 23 represents a cast-iron tank or bucket containing gum or paste or any
other agglutinative matter. Upon this tank is mounted an axle of round iron,
No. 24, which communicates with the rack 25 and the cam 26, and is caused by
the latter to make a fourth of a revolution. Upon the said axle 24 are fixed two
levers 27 and 28 bearing at their one end a flat iron lath 29 which plunges into
the glutinous matter contained in the tank 23, and emerges therefrom covered with
gum in order to come in contact with the iron bar 30.
No. 31 is another tank also containing gum or paste and supporting an axis of
round iron, No. 32, to which are fixed a series of bronze pulleys 33, which turn in
the viscous substance, and deposit a longitudinal line of paste upon the bands of
paper intended to form the bags.
No. 34 is a circular brush which is forced by gearing to revolve in a direction
contrary to that of the bronze pulleys 33, thus levelling the thickness of the gum
adhering to the said pulleys.
The Nos. 35 and 36 illustrate the folding apparatus consisting of adjust-
able pieces of bronze in the shape of a ploughshare, which folds to a right
angle to the bands of paper about to pass over the gum pulleys 33; the same
apparatus flattens the plaits, when the bands are subsequently running under the
roller 37 and before they enter into the pincers L.
The axis No. 32 receives motion from the rack 38, commanded by a gearing 39,
which operates only during the forward journey of the pincers I. The said gearing
39 turns freely on a pivot 40, and is provided with a click 43, engaging by means
of a spring with a ratchet wheel 41, fixed to another gearing 42.
The click 43 can only push the ratchet wheel 41 in one direction, so that when
the pincers L, to which the rack 38 is fixed, are performing a backward journey,
the said click 43 will be caused to move in an opposite direction, and consequently
to slide over the teeth of the ratchet wheel 41, and to leave the axis 32 as well as
the gum pulleys 33, and the circular brush 34 undisturbed.
Nos. 44 and 45 represent two pressers holding the paper in its place when the
pincers L are moving forward to fetch a length of paper; the said pressers are caused
to operate by the action of the cam plates, 47, 48, and 49.
The lower part of the pincers L consists of a simple cast-iron plate, planed per-
fectly true and guided between two horizontal slides 50 and 51, forming part of the
framework of the machine. The upper part of the pincers L consists of a cast-iron
plate reinforced by a strong rib. Under this plate are secured by springs and set
screws the steel jaws No. 53, having their inner surface formed with flat grooves cut
in alternate order as are arranged; the jaws of a vice, in order that the paper may
be the more firmly held by the pincers when the latter have arrived at the end of
journey, and the said jaws 53 put in action by the cam plates M, M³, M, M, are
taking hold of the paper as well as of the felt No. 54, which surrounds the rollers
55, 56, and 57.
.
The two rollers 55 and 57 serve as a point of application for the pressers 44 and 45;
whilst the roller 56 is to regulate the tension of the felt 54 by means of the hand
wheel 58, and to conduct it in a straight line by conveniently adjusting it through
the hand wheel 59.
The printing plate I, which carries the composing sticks, slides vertically between
the side frames 60 and 61, upon which are also mounted the two ink blocks 62 and
63. These ink blocks are constructed in the same manner as those used in an
ordinary printing machine, and put in motion by a series of small levers or link-
work 64, 65, and 66, which in turn are actuated by the plate I, thereby causing the
inking rollers Nos. 68 and 69 by means of the clicks 70 and 71, to make a partial
rotation in order to deposit some ink or colour upon the gelatine inking rollers 72
and 73.
The said gelatine rollers are mounted at their extremities on a sliding carriago

page_text: •
74; their office is to spread the colour received from the ink blocks over the
movable tables 75 and 76, whilst the gelatine rollers 77 and 78 take up the ink,
which has been spread over the movable tables, and deposit it on the electrotype or
other characters.
The carriage 74 is provided on its two sides with a range of teeth engaging with
two toothed wheels 79, which receive motion from the two pinions 80, which are in
gear with two sectional spur wheels or toothed sectors 81; the latter communicates
with two other toothed sectors 82, actuated by the racks 83, to which is imparted a
reciprocating motion by the cam plates 84. The last-mentioned cams are fixed on
an axis 85, driven by the shaft G through au intervening gearing 86 and 87.
The movable tables 75 and 76 are only fixed on two centre pivots 88 and 89, so
asto allow of their alternately moving to-and-fro by the action of the lever No. 90.
This lever is toothed on one side, and at its other ends communicates with the
movable tables 75 and 76 by the connecting rod No. 91.
The toothed part of the lever 90 gears into the rack 92, set in motion by the cam 93,
which is driven by the axis 85 through the revolving action of the gearing 94 and 95.
No. 96 is a cross piece of cast iron planed perfectly true, and fixed to the framing
60 and 61; it is covered with a blanket over which the bands of paper pass, and
sustains the pressure of the printing plate I, when the same is descending to make
the required impression.
paper
Nos. 97 and 98 are a pair of drawing rollers which conduct the bands of paper,
always perfectly stretched under the cross cutting knife R. This knife has a
sufficiently heavy cast-iron bar 139, which comes to lean against the bands of
during the cutting and folding operation of the knife. No. 99 represents two
uprights supporting the movement which pushes the bands between the guide
rollers 5 and 6, and under the knife R which cuts the bands before the line of
paste; by this operation the bags are finished.
The aforesaid knife R is intended to perform two different operations, the cutting
edge separates the nearly completed bags from the bands of paper, and a steel blade
No. 100, adjusted on the opposite side of the cutting edge, folds at the same time
the following bags. At this instant the paster W puts a line of gum in the angle of
the plait, thus effecting the second gumming of the bottom of the bags.
The movement which pushes in the bands between the guide rollers 5 and 6,
consists of a steel blade 101 maintained in a perfectly straight position, by being
strongly stretched in a frame in a similar manner as the blade of a frame saw is
rendered inflexible, only in this case an adjustable screw bolt 102 is substituted for
the string.
The frame and the above-mentioned steel blade 101 are pushed forward by two
brackets or tappets 119 and 120, which catch two levers 121 and 122, secured to
the said frame, and which are provided with slits and adjusted on two racks 12 and
118 attached to the travelling pincers L. As so on as the steel blade 101 has engaged
the bands of paper between the pair of guide rollers 5 and 6, the levers 121 and
122, which are provided with friction rollers, run up the inclined planes 123 and
124; and unhook the frame of the steel blade No. 101.
Whilst the racks Nos. 12 and 118 are continuing their motion, another bracket
125 fixed on the rack 118 urges the opposite end of the toothed sector 126 which
imparts motion to the gearing 127, on the axis of which are keyed two pinions 128
and 129, engaging with the racks 130. The latter are secured to the frame of the
steel blade 101, and consequently bring it back to its former position.
The roller 98 is provided at both ends with a pinion 131 turning freely on the
gudgeons of the said roller 98, and gearing with the racks 12 and 118. To
each of the pinions 131 is attached a click 132 which act on two ratchet wheels 133
and 134, fixed on the same gudgeons of the roller 98. When the racks 12 and 118
are making their forward motion, the clicks 132 are pushing the ratchet wheels
133 and 134, and impart in this manner a partial rotation to the roller 98, as well
as also to the train of wheels 103, by means of the gearing 135 fixed on one of its
3

page_text: R
extremities. On the other extremity of the said roller 98 is fixed a pulley 136
surrounded by two semicircles of iron, No. 137, which are acted upon by the cam
138, and form a brake at the moment the roller 98 ought to be at rest.
The pressing and guide rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, are formed with a number of
grooves provided with copper wires, which conduct the completed bags to and
deposit them upon the endless linen band, No. 7, of the already mentioned self-
acting counter.
The said guide rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, are driven by the train of wheels 103,
which are calculated to revolve all at the same rate. :
The action of the machine takes place in the following manner :-)
-For the manu-
facture of bags of 5 inches by 8, four bobbins of endless paper of 53/, inches width,
are placed on the upper axle 104, and on the lower axle 105, four bobbins of paper
of only 5 inches width.
The bands of paper of the axle 104 are introduced into the machine by passing
them over the roller 106, under the roller 107, and then under the iron lath 30,
from which they receive the first transverse line of paste.
The bands of paper from the axle 105 are led over the roller 108, and under the
roller 109, and then introduced into the cutting devices No. 17, where they receive
the necessary indentations. From here these bands pass over the pulleys 110,
where they unite with those of the axle 104, enter into the folding apparatus.35
and 36, and run over the gum pulleys 33, from which they receive a longitudinal
line of gum or paste, that is the line which closes the two sides of the bags. The
united bands now pass under the roller 37, and the presser 45 traverse the pincers
L, and run from here under the second presser No. 44, the inking table 76, and
then over the blanket or felt which covers the cross piece 96; they here receive the
desired printed impression. The bands finally pass under the inking table 75, and
between the pair of drawing rollers 97 and 98, which conduct them under the knife
R, where they are cut crossways and folded, and receive the last transverse line of
paste. From here the steel blade No. 101 pushes the bags between the pressing
and guide rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which pile them on the endless band, No. 7 of
the counter.
The line of gum made by the paster No. 23, must coincide with that made by the
paster W, which receives the necessary gum from the tank 111; in order to effect
this the frame B" with all the mechanism attached to it (can be placed in its proper
position in moving it to one side or the other) by means of an endless screw 112,
which acts upon a toothed wheel 113 on the axis of which are fixed two pinions 114
gearing with the racks 115.
In order to ensure printing in the middle of the bags, etc., the position of the
frame B with its apparatus may conveniently be altered by means of the two
pinions 116, which are in gear with the racks 117.
It is to be well understood that any required size can be made by this machine,
as it is only necessary to add more folders 35, gum pulleys 33, and pulleys 110, or
to suppress some of the existing ones, and to arrange them at the proper distance,
which corresponds with the width of the articles to be obtained.
The length of the paper articles can be determined by approaching the crank
pins J, J, of the toothed wheels F, F', to the shaft G, or by drawing them away
from it.
For the manufacture of envelopes the action of the machine is exactly the same
as that which has been described with regard to the production of paper bags, &c.,
with the exception however that the parts destined to close the envelopes must be
gummed, &c., by hand as usual.
The preceding description refers only to the manufacture of bags and envelopes.
When gummed and printed address wrappers are to be made it suffices to arrest
the pasters of the tanks 23 and 111, which lay the transverse line of guin upon the
bands, to place the knife R so that it shall cut the paper without folding it, as indi-
cated on Sheet III. of the accompanying Drawings, and after having suppressed the
rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and their upper supports, to place in their stead a roller

page_text: No. 141, which brings the endless linen band No. 7 of the counter nearer to the
knife R.
The said roller No. 141, is driven by a Galle's chain, No. 142, and two toothed wheels,
one of which is fixed on the roller 141, and the other on the roller of the counter.
For the production of printed articles such as labels, tickets, &c., instead of placing
a number of bobbins of paper on the axles 104 and 105, a single roll of endless
paper is put on one of them; the pasters are arrested, the folding apparatus
suppressed, and the knife and counter so arranged as indicated for the manu-
facture of address wrappers; and for cutting the endless paper longitudinally
the rollers Nos. 139 and 140 are substituted for the pair of drawing rollers, Nos. 97
and 98.
No. 140 represents a roller which is furnished with grooves separated by intervals
corresponding to the width of the article to be made.
No. 141 is an iron axis, on which are fixed by means of bolts a series of cast-iron
rings, having between them steel blades 143, which projecting fit into the grooves of
the roller No. 140. The paper which passes between the said two rollers is thus
divided into bands, which are cut crosswise by the knife R, and finally piled upon
the endless band No. 7 of the counter, in packets numbering each twenty-five,
entirely finished and completed.
Figures 1 and 2 on Sheet IV., illustrate some modification in the manner of
unrolling the paper, which is thereby fed into the machine according to the ratio of
travel. This new improvement will be advantageously applied when the paper
bobbins placed on the axles 104 and 105 are of great diameter, because it will
prevent the said rolls of paper from continuing their rotation by inertia and
from loosening the bands under treatment at the moment when the machine is
stopped.
As it is shewn in Figures 1 and 2, Sheet IV. of the Drawings subjoined,. the
axles 104 and 105 are entirely dispensed with, and replaced by four rollers or
drums 144, 145, 146, and 147, on which the rolls of paper are arranged in the
manner indicated on said Sheet IV., Figures 1 and 2.
On each of the paper rolls presses a roller 148 and 149, intended to render the
rolls of paper more adherent to the drums which support them, and to prevent their
being accidentally lifted up.
Motion is imparted to the said drums 144, 145, 146, and 147 by the rack 38 and
a ratchet wheel, No. 150, which turns only in one direction. This movement is the
same as that described with reference to the gum pulleys. The drums act one upon
another by the intermediate gearings, shown in Figure 1, Sheet IV., by the dotted
circular lines, No. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, and 157. It will be clearly seen
that these drums as well as the paper rolls must revolve at a speed corresponding
exactly to that of the travelling pincers L, because the rack 38 by which they are
turned is fixed to the said pincers.
For security's sake, and in order to arrest the motion with still greater precision,
an iron bracket or tappet 158, adjustable in a slot and acting upon a brake, is fixed
to the rack No. 38. This brake consists of two levers 159 and 160 joined to an
iron axis 161 which traverses the frame 162.
When the pincers L, and consequently the rack 38, are at the end of stroke the
bracket 158 presses against the lever 159, which forces the lever 160 to press in the
inverse direction against the drum 144, thus stopping its further motion and also
that of the other drums 145, 146, and 147, with which it is in gear, as described.
