Gentleman "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CARD-BOARD, PASTE-BOARD
AND THE LIKE AND IN THE MACHINERY OR APPARATUS EMPLOYED THEREIN AND

The improvements relate chiefly to apparatus for the manufacture of cardboard
or pasteboard and the like free from folds or wrinkles by uniting several layers of
paper or of paper and woven fabrics either in so called endless rolls or in single
sheets and in apparatus for automatically cutting such rolls into shoets after the
layers are united and made into cardboard
The paper in rolls to be formed into board may be passed through the machine
by frictional contact only in such manner that it becomes covered with some
adhesive material such as glue paste gum and the like either on one or on both
sides and cardboard may be passed through the machine for the purpose of covering
either one or both sides with paper or other material
All rolls of paper which are to be united are placed into a frame one above the
other which position facilitates the placement or removal of the rolls and the
regulation of the motion and tension of the paper An important point of the
Invention consists in uniting the various layers without the aid of pressure rollers
Prin 71

page_text: whereby wharping or crooked travelling and consequently the formation of folds
or wrinkles are avoided. The papers are united stretched and carried forward
simply by adhesion to the various pullies or rollers over which they pass.
Paper or pasteboard which does not require cutting can be carried or led directly
into a drying room.
Another important feature. is the self acting cutting apparatus which cuts the
rolls into sheets; without stopping or arresting the forward movement of the paper
or cardboard thus avoiding wrinkles or folds
A slight modification of the machine will serve for covering paper already in
sheets either on one side or on both with adhesive materials such as paste glue
or gun.
The apparatus consists of a properly constructed frame properly fastened together
and carrying slotted pedestals or brackets in which the journals of the paper rolls
are placed There are also brakes for the rollers and an arrangement for adjusting
the position of the roll of paper..
The paper passes from these rollers into the apparatus which applies the adhesive
material to the surface.
The adhesive material is contained in a reservoir which may consist of various
compartments if different kinds of adhesives are to be used simultaneously.
From this reservoir or its compartments the adhesive solution flows through
pipes directly to and between pairs of supply rollers there being a pair for each
sheet of paper employed One roller of each pair is the roller or cylinder which
transfers the adhesive material to the paper and against which may be screwed
the other roller of the pair In between these rollers the adhesive solution flows.
In order to prevent the adhesive material from flowing off at the sides of the
rollers there are provided stops of triangular form and curved to fit to the rollers
These stops slide upon rods and can be fastened by set screws at any point
of the rods according to the width of the paper The rollers and the stops form
a kind of trough
In order to obtain a uniform distribution of the adhesive material upon the
paper the surface of the supply cylinders as of the other rollers of the pairs or if
the quality of the paper requires it, the surface of both sets of rollers is made rough
by engraving upon them lines or dots regularly and evenly distributed to a depth
of from to of an inch or by covering them with suitable woven fabrics or
metal gauze or moulded India rubber or other material presenting small elevations
and indentations
The adhesive material is spread or laid upon the paper by giving the supply
or transfer cylinders a greater circumferential velocity than that given to the
propelling pulleys
The paper can be made to touch a smaller or larger portion of the circumference
of the supply cylinders by regulating the position of gurding rollers mounted
adjacent thereto.
The whole of these cylinders are driven by straps passing over pulleys and by
pinion and wheel in a suitable direction according as the paper passes over or under
the supply cylinders The regulating roller is driven from the supply cylinder by
means of suitable gear wheels.
If it be desired to apply adhesive material to both sides of the paper the lowest
supply cylinder but one is lifted up so far that the paper passes under the one
supply cylinder but over the other supply cylinder and touches both of them.
The adjacent gurding rollers are removed and the regulating rollers are placed on
the opposite side.
If the middle paper is not to be coated with adhesive material at all then it is
simply passed over the gurdes in such manner that it does not touch the supply
cylinder at all.
Very thin paper requires in order to prevent folds or wrinkles a curved sheet
or sheets of metal placed in a position to keep the paper smooth and stretched.
These can readily be removed when not required.

page_text: If cardboard in sheets is to be coated on either one or both sides with adhesive
solution the sheets are placed upon a table between the upper and lower web
of paper and are pushed forward until caught and carried along by the paper.
The papers after passing the supply cylinders which apply the adhesive material
to their respective surfaces now unite upon a cylinder and then pass therefrom
partly round other cylinders or pulleys under one and up over an adjacent one.
The webs thus united form one web which is carried along simply by friction or
adhesion to the last named pulleys which themselves are driven by suitable gearing.
It is however sometimes advantageous to drive the first of these cylinders by the
paper only and for this purpose it can be left without gearing or it may be provided
with suitable coupling and uncoupling gear.
A roller rests upon the paper as it passes over the last pulley and pressing
slightly against the paper, insures that the paper does not slip but is carried
onwards to the cutting machine. In order not to cause any such pressure as would
produce wrinkles this roller is fastened upon a lever and counterpoised by adjustable
balance weights.
If the paper or cardboard is now to be cut into sheets it passes from the last
mentioned rollers, first between small rollers, the lower one of which receives a
greater velocity than that of the travelling paper. The upper of these rollers
presses upon the paper only by its own weight but is driven by and rotates with
the same velocity as the lower roller.
The object of this arrangement is that the paper shall be slightly stretched and
drawn into or towards the knife.
The cutting machine proper, consists of two knife blades.-The lower one is
screwed to a cross-bar resting upon suitable framework.-The upper moveable
blade is fastened to a cross beam which is fixed to arms capable of turning upon
a shaft so that the 'cross-bar with the blade can be oscillated.-In order to avoid
friction as much as possible this shaft is supported and turns round pointed pivots
which are screwed into adjustable pedestals and locked with lock nuts.
The movement of the upper blade is caused by cams or excentric discs fixed to
a shaft driven from a moving part of the machine for instance one of the rollers
adjacent to the said Shaft-The rate of revolution of these cams or excentrics
determines the length of the sheets to be cut and can be adjusted by inserting
smaller or larger cogwheels
The blade lifted by the cams or excentrics falls at the proper moment by its own
gravity and cuts through the paper-In order not to interrupt the onward
movement of the paper or cardboard the knife falls upon spring buffers at the two
sides of the blade which cause the blade to fly back rapidly.
To prevent the knife falling again and cutting the paper in a wrong place there
is provided a peculiar arrangement of two catches which at once arrest the
downward movement of the blade-The upper portion of the one catch is pressed
against the cross bar carrying the upper cutting blade by a spring-The upward
movement of the knife causes this catch to recede until a pin falls into a notch of
the other catch which is pressed upwards by a spring-The knife blade can fall at
first without hindrance and cuts the paper while falling it releases the second
named catch whereby the first named catch is caused to fall forward and thus
prevent the knife from falling (after rebounding from the spring buffers) further
than to a stop provided for it to rest upon until lifted further by the cams or
excentrics when the action described is repeated
The amount of fall of the knife can be adjusted by screws -The sheets thus cut
off are carried forward by bands passing over the pulleys driven by rope or other
gearing
The spring buffers before mentioned consist of a box screwed into the beam or
framing and held fast by lock nuts-Into this box is placed a pin passing through
a hole in the bottom of the box Round this pin is fastened a spiral spring which
can be tightened more or less by means of nuts
There is an arrangement for putting the wheel and with it the pulleys and the

page_text: cutting machine out of gear while introducing the paper into the machine-
There is also a coupling for throwing into and out of gear the cutting
machine only
If sheets of paper or sheets of card board are to be coated with adhesive
material the following arrangement is employed
•
Supply cylinders and regulating rollers engraved and arranged as above
described are employed to distribute the adhesive substance over the paper They
are fastened one slightly obliquely above the other in suitable frame work There
is a table upon which the sheets are laid and pushed between the rollers-Two
sheets at a time are introduced so that only one side of each sheet is covered with
adhesive substance
An oblique position is given to the upper roller to prevent any of the adhesive
material from getting in between the two sheets which would otherwise be sure to
occur particularly with very thin paper.
When the cylinders are in motion there is always a certain surplus of adhesive
material collecting near the place where the sheets enter forming a long string at
this place at the lower edge of which the paper must be introduced. If the supply
cylinders were perpendicularly over each other the sheets would have to pass into
the very centre of this long string of paste or glue and would thus be sure to become
soiled as the paste or glue would flow in between the sheets
In order to cause the papers to pass in at the lower edge of this string of adhesive
material I fasten at the end of the table a narrow strip of sheet metal which
presses the sheets of paper downwards As soon as more paste or glue collects
than is necessary the excess passes on to this strip and helps to press downward
the paper and prevents any adhesive material passing in between the sheets
In order to prevent the adhesion of the paper to the supply roller or cylinder
shafts are provided which carry small pulleys over which and the supply cylinders
pass endless strings. The paper is thus obliged to leave the cylinders and to travel
between these strings which are kept tight by a tension arrangement
These strings carry the paper now coated with adhesive material to 2 brushes
which still better distribute the adhesive material over the paper for which purpose
the brushes are made to move laterally and are set in motion by a pulley and
crank The paper then passes over a number of series of pulleys or discs and is
then removed.
These pulleys or discs are but of little thickness and are fastened upon shafts
driven all in equal directions The discs are preferably about from four to six inches
apart. This mode of moving onward the coated paper is better than carrying it
by means of strings because the sheets rest only on the small surface of the
peripheries of the discs and are not damaged so much as they would be by
strings.
Of course the adhesive solution is in this case supplied from a reservoir as in the
preceding arrangement.

JOHN HENRY JOHNSON of 47 Lincolns Inn Fields in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CARDBOARD,
PASTE BOARD, AND THE LIKE AND IN THE MACHINERY OR APPARATUS EMPLOYED
THEREIN AND FOR CUTTING THE SAME INTO SHEETS AND FOR COATING SHEETS OF
PAPER OR CARDBOARD OR THE LIKE WITH ADHESIVE MATERIAL a communication

ท
The Improvements relate chiefly to apparatus for the manufacture of cardboard
or pasteboard and the like free from folds or wrinkles by uniting several layers of
paper or of paper and woven fabrics either in continuous webs or in single sheets
and to apparatus for automatically cutting such webs into sheets after the layers
are united and made into cardboard.
The paper in rolls to be formed into board may be passed through the machine
by frictional contact only in such manner that it becomes covered with some
adhesive material such as glue paste gum and the like either on one or on both
sides and cardboard may also be passed through the Machine for the purpose of
covering either one or both sides with paper or other material.
The rolls of paper which are to be united are placed in a frame one above the
other which position facilitates the introduction or removal of the rolls and the
control of the motion and tension of the paper. An important point of the Inven-
tion consists in uniting the various layers without the aid of pressure rollers
whereby warping or crooked travelling and consequently the formation of folds
or creases is avoided. The sheets or webs are united stretched and carried forward
simply by adhesion to the various pulleys or rollers over which they pass. Paper
or paste board which does not require cutting can be carried or led directly into a
drying room.
Another important feature is the self acting cutting apparatus hereinafter
described which cuts the web into sheets without stopping or arresting the forward
movement of the paper or cardboard.
A slight modification of the machine will serve for covering paper in sheets or
short lengths either on one side or on both with adhesive materials such as paste
glue or gum.
And in order that the said Invention may be fully understood I shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose shall refer to
the several figures on the annexed sheet of drawings the same letters of reference
indicating corresponding parts in the corresponding figures.
Figure 1 is a vertical section showing the general arrangement of the improved
machine the section being taken along the line 1-2 Figure 2 and Figure 2 is a
partial plan of the same. Figures 1ª and 1b are details hereinafter referred to.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of a portion of the same machine and illustrates
details of the cutting mechanism the section being taken along the line 3-4
Figure 2 and Figure 4 is a side elevation illustrating the said cutting device.
Figures 4 and 4b are enlarged views at right angles to each other shewing the
operating parts of the cutting devices more clearly.
Figure 5 is a vertical section taken along the line 5-6 Figure 6 of an apparatus
constructed according to this Invention for covering sheets of cardboard or paper
with adhesive material as hereinafter described and Figure 6 is a plan of the same..

page_text: The apparatus illustrated in figures 1 to 4 consists of a frame a provided with
bearings or brackets for the reception of the journals d of rollers carrying rolls
bbbbs of paper-These rollers are provided with brakes the action of which is
capable of being regulated by means of weights suspended from levers c c¹ c³ ³
and with an arrangement for adjusting the position of the roll of paper consisting
of a screw d¹ (see the detail figure 1) working in a nut in the frame and turning
in an arm connected to the axis of the roller so as to enable the latter to be shifted
in the direction of its axis by the act of turning the screw d'. The paper passes
from these rollers into the apparatus which applies the adhesive material to the
surface of the web. The adhesive material is contained in a reservoir g which may
consist of various compartments when different kinds of adhesives are to be used
simultaneously. From this reservoir or its compartments the adhesive solution
flows through pipes g' directly to and between pairs of pasting rollers E' e¹ E³ e².
ESE. The rollers E E E E (which may be of wood metal or other suit-
able material) transfer the adhesive material to the paper the supply of paste being
controlled by adjusting the pressure between the rollers of each pair by means of
screws-The adhesive solution is supplied at the upper side of these rollers and is
prevented from flowing off at the ends of the rollers by stops h of triangular form
(see the detail figure 15) and curved to fit to the rollers. These stops slide upon
rods h¹ and can be fastened by set screws at any point of the rods according to the
width of the paper. The pasting rollers and the stops h form a kind of trough for
the reception of the adhesive material.
In order to obtain a uniform distribution of the adhesive material upon the
paper the surface of the pasting rollers E¹ E² E³ E' (and if the quality of the paper
requires it the surface of the rollers e e e e also) is made rough by engraving
upon them linės or recesses regularly and evenly distributed or by covering thom
with suitable woven fabrics, wire gauze moulded India rubber, or other material
presenting equivalent small elevations and indentations. If fabric be employed it
is preferably hose or knitted fabric. Where recesses are formed or cut or engraved
in the rollers the said recesses preferably take the form of a number of parallel
circular grooves running around the circumference of about 1/5th to 1/10th of an
inch deep and wide and of about the same distance apart.
The adhesive material is spread or laid upon the paper by giving the pasting
rollers a greater circumferential velocity than that given to the propelling rollers.
The paper can be made to touch a smaller or larger portion of the circumference of
the pasting rollers by regulating the position of guiding rollers i mounted adjacent
thereto.
The paste rollers are driven by belts and pulleys.kl and toothed gearing m m³ in
a suitable direction according as the paper passes over or under the pasting rollers
the regulating rollers e¹ e³ ³e being driven from the pasting rollers E¹ E E³ E
by means of gear wheels n n¹.as seen in figure 2..
•
If it be desired to apply adhesive material to both sides of the paper. the pasting
rollers E³ ³ are lifted up so far that the paper coming from the roll 6* is brought
in contact with both the pasting rollers E³ and E³. The adjacent guiding rollers i
are removed and the regulating roller e³ is placed on the opposite side of the pasting
roller E².
If the middle paper is not to be coated with adhesive material on either of its
sides it is simply passed over the guides in such a manner that it does not come in
contact with either of the pasting rollers E and E³..
Very thin paper requires in order to prevent folds or creases a curved sheet or
sheets of metal o placed in a position to keep the paper smooth and stretched.
These can readily be removed when not required.
If cardboard in sheets is to be coated on either one or both sides with adhesive
solution the sheets are placed upon a table p between the upper and lower webs of
paper and are pushed forward. until caught and carried along by the paper.
The webs after passing the pasting rollers. which apply the adhesive material to
their respective surfaces now unite upon a cylinder q.and then pass therefrom

page_text: partly round other cylinders or drums g' as shewn in the Drawing. The webs thus
united form one compound web which is carried along simply by friction or
adhesion to the drum g' which is driven by gearing r. It is however sometimes
advantageous to drive the drum q' by the paper only and in this case the gearing
connected with this drum may be dispensed with or it may be provided with a
clutch N for throwing it into or out of gear.
A roller s rests upon the web as it passes over the drum g' and pressing slightly
upon the paper causes the latter to be carried steadily onwards to the cutting
machine without slipping. In order not to cause any such pressure as would
produce creases this roller is carried by a lever a' and is counterpoised by adjustable
weights 8. In order to cut the compound web of paper or card board into sheets
if required the web passes from the drum q³ first between small rollers t t driven
by an intermediate wheel t¹ gearing with a wheel on the axis of the drum q³ so
that the lower one of the said rollers t receives a greater velocity than the
travelling web of paper. The upper roller of the pair of rollers tt presses upon
the paper only by its own weight but is driven by and rotates with the same
velocity as the lower roller. The object of this arrangement is that the paper shall
be slightly stretched and drawn into or towards the knife or cutter.
The cutting machine proper is provided with a stationary knife u screwed to a
cross bar u¹ resting upon the framework and a moveable knife w fastened to a cross
bar w¹ connected to arms capable of turning upon a shaft or axis a² so that the
cross bar w¹ with the knife w can be oscillated.
In order to diminish friction this shaft is supported by and turns upon pointed
centres or pivots screwed to adjustable brackets y secured with lock nuts.
The movement of the upper knife w is obtained by means of cams & fixed to a
shaft A driven from a moving part of the machine such as the drum g' as illustrated
in the drawing. The rate of revolution of these cams determines the length of the
sheets to be cut and can be adjusted by means of change wheels.
The knife w when lifted by the cams z falls at the proper moment by its own
gravity and cuts through the paper. In order not to interrupt the onward move-
ment of the paper or cardboard by the action of the knife the knife falls upon
spring buffers hereinafter described arranged at the two extremities of the bar w
which buffers cause the knife to fly back instantaneously. To prevent the knife
falling a second time and cutting the paper in a wrong place there is provided a
peculiar arrangement of two catches G and H which prevent the return of the
knife when it has been thus thrown back by the recoil of the buffers. The upper
portion C of the catch H is pressed towards the cross bar w' by a spring D. The
upward movement of the knife w (produced by the rotation of the cam s) causes
the catch H to recede until a pin G¹ on the side of the said catch engages with a
notch in the catch G which is pressed upwards by a spring F The knife blade can
then fall without hindrance from the catch H which previously supported it and
severs the paper By the act of falling the knife releases the catch G from its
engagement with the pin G whereupon the catch H. is pressed forward by the
spring D into a position to engage with and support the bar w³ and thus prevent
the knife from falling a second time or rebounding from the spring buffers after
cutting the paper until the bar and knife have been again lifted by the cams when
the action described is repeated.
The amount of fall of the knife can be adjusted by screws L.
The sheets thus cut off are carried forward by bands or tapes passing over
pulleys K driven by pulleys ³ ³ or other gearing.
The spring buffers herein before referred to consist in the example illustrated of
a box B screwed into the table or framework and held fast by lock nuts M'. Into
this box is placed a pin M passing through a hole in the bottom of the box and
round this pin is fastened a spring the tension of which can be adjusted by means
of nuts.
Means are provided for putting the pulleys or rollers and the cutting machine

page_text: out of gear while introducing the paper into the machine. There is also a clutch O
for throwing into and out of gear the cutting mechanism only.
If sheets of paper or card board are to be coated with adhesive material thé
following arrangement illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 is employed. Pasting rollers
E E' and paste regulating rollers e e¹ engraved or covered and arranged as herein-
before described are employed to distribute the adhesive substance over the
sheets. The pasting rollers E E' are arranged the one slightly obliquely above thé
other in suitable framework.
•
The sheets are laid upon a table a and pushed between the rollers E E. Two
sheets at a time are thus introduced so that only one side of each sheet is covered
with the adhesive substance. If one sheet only is introduced it will become covered
on both sides.
•
An oblique position is given to the upper roller that is to say the roller E is
not arranged on the same vertical plane as the roller E' in order to prevent the
adhesive material from passing between the two sheets which would otherwise
occur especially when operating on very thin paper and further when the cylinders
are in motion there is always a surplus of adhesive material near the place where
the sheets enter forming an accumulation at this place at the lower edge of which
the paper must be introduced. If the pasting rollers were arranged perpendicularly
over each other the sheets would have to pass through the centre of the accumu-
lation of paste or adhesive material and would thus become soiled as the paste or
adhesive material would flow in between the sheets.
In order to cause the sheets to pass in at the lower edge of this accumulation
of adhesive material I fasten at the end of the table a a narrow strip or thin plate ƒ
of sheet metal which presses the sheets downwards. As soon as more paste or
adhesive material collects than is necessary the excess overflows on to the plate f
and assists to press down the sheets thus preventing the adhesive material from
passing in between the sheets.
In order to prevent the paper from adhering to the pasting rollers shafts are
provided which carry small pulleys 6 b¹ over which and the pasting rollers E E
pass endless tapes. The sheets are thus obliged to leave the said rollers and to
travel between these tapes which are kept tight by a tension device d.
These tapes carry the sheets now coated with adhesive material to two brushes
nn which equalize the fadhesive material over the surface of the sheets being
caused to reciprocate in a direction transverse to the motion of the sheets by means
of a cam o or other equivalent device.
The sheets then pass over a number of series of pulleys or discs g mounted on
spindles h driven by pulleys g' and are then removed.
These pulleys or discs are of thin material and rotate in one direction and may
have smooth or roughened or toothed peripheries. They are preferably about
from 4 to 6 inches apart. This mode of moving onward the coated sheets is better
than carrying them by means of tapes because the sheets being supported solely by
the thin edges or peripheries of the discs g are not liable to be dainaged so much
as they would be by tapes.
The adhesive solution is supplied to the roller E from a reservoir above as in the
arrangement described with reference to figures 1 and 2 and to the roller E' from
a trough m as shewn in figure 5.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into
effect I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original
and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part
