Improvements in Apparatus for Pasting, Sizing, Gumming, or
Glueing Strips of Paper or Trimmings for Boxes or similar
articles.
I, EMIL JAGENBERG, of Düsseldorf, Germany, Manufacturer, 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:-
The paper strips used for the trimmings of paste board boxes, and similar
articles, have hitherto been separately or singly cut from sheets of paper and
pasted or glued which is a slow and tedious operation. By my improved apparatus,
very long strips of paper-wound upon rollers-have a coating of paste applied,
evenly spread, as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In these, Fig. 1 is an elevation of the apparatus, in a longitudinal direction,
Fig. 2 is an end elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan thereof. Fig. 4 is a sectional
elevation, on an enlarged scale, on the line A-B of Fig. 3, and Figs. 5 and 6 are
detailed elevations of parts thereof.
At the left hand side of Figs. 1 and 3 several reels of paper trimming a are
shown, which may be of different widths or patterns according to the kind of
trimming to be used. These are mounted upon suitable axles and led by guide
pulleys to the pasting portion of the apparatus at the right hand of the figures;
the whole being mounted upon a suitable bench or stand, as shown in the drawings.
The paper strip is led from the guide roller under a thin covering bar i
pivoted at and over an angle bars to the first roller c. The two bars i and s¹
can be shifted in an angular manner and secured in any required position by the
tightening and s², in order to direct the paper strip to the centre portion of the
roller c and the other rollers following. The strip passes beneath the first roller c
clear of the supply roller d, over the top of the large past ng roller e and spreading
roller fand beneath the final roller g. placed next to the operator. All the rollers are
upon spindles working upon suitable pivots or bearings, as shown, and the rollers e
and fare geared together by the respective cog wheels 2 and so as to work in
opposite directions to each other, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 4. The
supply roller d dips into a bath of the paste, glue or other substance used,
which may be kept warm, if required, by a spirit lamp placed beneath it as
shown. The roller d is slightly reduced in diameter for nearly the whole of its
length, with enlargements at the ends-as shown in Fig. 6-in order that the
central part may carry a thick body of paste and supply it to the surface of the
pasting roller e, so that the paper strip passing over the latter is pasted on its
under side. In order, however, to spread the paste evenly upon the strip, and to
remove any superfluous paste, the spreading roller fis driven reversely (as already
described) and removes the said superfluous paste, which drops back into the
bath. The paper strips is fed by the operator drawing as much of the strip
through the rollers at p, as required from time to time.
It will be understood that although the operation of pasting has been described
herein, the apparatus is suitable for the analogous operatings of sizing, gumming,
glueing or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;-
In apparatus for the purpose herein described the combination of the roller d,
and the

page_text: spreading roller f reversely driven with reference to the direction of the said
roller e substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
Dated this 28th day of September 1892.
