PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Paper Tubes, and Machinery for the Manufacture
of same.
I, SAMUEL O'NEILL, of Linden Mill, Castleton, in the County of Lancaster,
Paper Tube Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to bo
as follows:
My invention relates to machinery or apparatus to be used in conjunction with
& upon machinery for making paper tubes & for the purpose of corrugating or
roughening or raising the outer surface of such tubes made of paper upon which
varn or thread is spun or wound or doubled.
According to my invention which is applicable to almost any existing & well
known automatic machine for making paper tubes, I take a number of smooth
discs or rollers according to the number of corrugations required on the outer
surface of such tubes, which may revolve collateral or independent of each other
& having secured the same on suitable bearings I cause the same by means of
suitable levers or carriers actuated by means of one or more springs & one or
more cams to bear or press upon the mandril or spindle of the said tube machine,
immediately this spindle or mandril has rolled the paper into the form of a tubo
whilst still revolving & before the said tube is discharged from such spindle or
mandril & thus cause the necessary corrugations to be made on the outer surface of
such tubes.
When it is desirable to roughen or raise the surface of such tubes the
said dises or rollers instead of being smooth may be provided with teeth after the
manner of a circular saw, or the surface of such discs or rollers may be studded
with pins or spikes in order to gain the necessary effect upon the tube.
Another method of corrugating the tube according to this invention may be the
employment of a presser with projections according to the number of corrugations
required formed upon its surface actuated & propelled in the same manner as
before described.

I, SAMUEL O'NEILL, of Linden Mill, Castleton, in the County of Lancaster,
Paper Tube Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
Price 8d1

page_text: manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:.
-
My invention relates to machinery, or apparatus to be used in conjunction with
& upon machinery for making paper tubes & for the purpose of corrugating or
roughening or raising the outer surface of such tubes made of paper upon which
yarn or thread is spun or wound or doubled.
According to my invention which is applicable to almost any existing & well
known automatic machine for making paper tubes, I take a number of smooth
discs or rollers according to the number of corrugations required on the outer
surface of such tubes, which may revolve collaterally or independently of each other
& having secured the same on suitable bearings I cause the same by means of
suitable levers or carriers actuated by means of one or more springs & one o
more cams to bear or press upon the mandril or spindle of the said tube machine
immediately this spindle or mandril has rolled the paper into the form of a tubo
whilst still revolving & before the said tube is discharged from such spindle or
mandril & thus cause the necessary corrugations to be made on the outer surface of
such tubes. When it is desirable to roughen or raise the surface of such tubes the
said dises or rollers instead of being smooth may be provided with teeth after the
manner of a circular saw, or the surface of such discs or rollers may be studded
with pins or spikes in order to gain the necessary effect upon the tube.
Another method of corrugating the tube according to this invention may be the
employment of a presser with projections according to the number of corrugations
required formed upon its surface actuated & propelled in the same manner as
before described.
In order to better explain my invention I append hereto two sheets of drawings
marked with letters of reference, which I shall apply to corresponding parts
throughout all the drawings.
Figure 1, is a plan of that portion of a cop tube machine to which the corru-
gating apparatus is attached.
Figure 2, is a vertical side view of the same shewing the corrugating discs in
two positions.
Figure 3, is a front elevation of same.
Figure 4 is a side view of the lever employed in carrying the corrugating or
roughening discs or rollers.
Figure 5, is a front view of the corrugating discs working collaterally.
Fig. 6, 6 is a front & side view respectively of the corrugating discs to work
independent of each other.
Fig. 7, 7 is the same as Fig. 6, 6 but shewing the discs having teeth cut upon
their surface after the manner of a circular saw.
Fig. 8, is a roller studded with pins or spikes.
ĭ
Figs. 9 & 10 show a front & side view respectively of discs to work independent
of each other, studded with pins or spikes.
Fig. 11, is a side view of a presser provided with projections upon the surface.
Fig. 12 is a longitudinal view of same.
Fig. 13 is a front elevation of same.
Fig. 14 is a paper tube shewing the corrugations upon its outer surface.
In describing my invention A is the corrugating roller or dises, B the bearing
for same, C the lever for carrying same. D the springs & E the cam for actuating
the lever C. F the mandril or spindle of the cop tube machine. G the shaft
carrying the cams E K. His the presser H' the corrugating projections on same.
H3 the bracket for carrying the presser H. J the spring & K the cam actuating
the presser H. P is the eyebolt secured to the stud N for holding the spring
I is the table of the tube machine. M is the stripper of the cop tube machine for
spindle or mandril F. M the bracket for carrying the stripper M. & secured to
the bed plate 0. O is the bed plate of the tube machine. S is the bracket, bolted
to the bed plate 0 for carrying the stud R, which supports the spring D & S
is the bracket secured to the bed plate O for carrying the lever C.

page_text: My invention may be attached to any automatic paper tube machine of any
well known construction & according to the first part a number of discs or rollers A
revolving independently of each other or collaterally are secured upon a bearing B
& carried by a lever as shown in Figs. 5 & 6, this lever works upon a stud.
attached to the bracket S, which is secured to the bed plate 0. A cam E secured
to the shaft combined with the spring D causes this lever at the right moment
i.c. immediately after the tube has been formed & before the spindle F has
stopped revolving, to descend upon the spindle whilst the tube is upon the
same & give the necessary corrugations to the outer surface of the tube, the lever
then ascends by means of the action of the cam E, the spindle is then withdrawn
in the usual manner & the tube stripped from same by the stripper M in the
usual manner.
The same process is observed & carried out whether smooth rollers or discs are
used or whether rollers or discs with teeth or spikes are used as shown in Figs. 7 & 8.
An alternative device consists in the use of a bracket, commonly known as a
presser H, the surface of which is lined with projections H' to the number of as
many corrugations as may be required on the outer surface of the tubes as shown in
Figures 11, 12 & 13. This presser works upon a stud attached to the bracket H
which is secured to the bedplate 0, Figs. 2 & 3 & is actuated by a cam K, upon
the shaft & by a spring J Fig. 2, works in the same manner as hereinbeforg
described. It must be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular
position of the corrugating apparatus, as the same may be fixed in any convenient
position upon the cop tube machine in order to work upon the paper tube as
above described.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is: :―
I. The combination with an automatic paper tube machine of any well known
construction & of suitable apparatus or machinery for corrugating or roughening
or raising the outer surface of paper tubes for the purposes and substantially in
the manner hereinbefore described.
