WRAPPING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters l'atent. Application filed May 11, 1910. Serial-No. 560,571.

Patented Dec. 17, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN- J. LoEwY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State 6 of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Im rovements in Wrapping- Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawing. This invention relates to a machine or apparatus adapted for applying a wrapper around packages of goods or merchandise, such as collars, cufls, etc., and has for its objects to prevent soiling of the goods by 16 moist or dirty hands, to save time in wrapping the goods, and to economize wrapping material.

The invention comprises an endwise movable goods-holder adapted to receive a tubu- 2 lar wrapper on its periphery and a goodsejector' within said holder for discharging the goods into the applied wrapper upon endwise movement of the holder from wrapper-holding position.

The invention also comprises, in combination with said. goods-holder, a goods-winder for winding the goods into compact form within the holder preparatory to applying the wrapper thereto;

The invention further comprises a laterally tilting wrapper carriernormally alined with the goods holder and permitting easy and quick hand application of the wrapper to the carrier and 1ts transference therefrom to the goods holder.

The invention also comprises other features which will be pointed out in the detailed description which follows.

Reference is made to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,

in which a I Figure 1 is a front elevation of a goodswrapping apparatus embodying the invention; Fig.2 a plan view thereof; Fig. 3 an end elevation ofthe goods holding and ejecting mechanism; Fig. 4 an enlarged longitudinal sectional plan view of said mechanism; Fig. 5 a cross-section taken on the line a,a in Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 a cross-section taken on the-line bb in Fig. 4.

The numeral 1 indicates a bed-plate, counter, or other suitable support to which is fastened a standard 2 having bearings 3, 3, in which is journaled a tubular shaft 4 having at one end thereof an attached goods end projecting into the ejector 5 and there around the winder 10.

'mal position and to return them to such ejector 5, which preferabl has an end flange 6. On the shaft 4 adjacent to one of the bearings 3 is a collar 7 which serves to hold said shaft and the attached ejector against endwise movement relatively to the 66 standard as shown.

The shaft 4 preferably has a side slot 8 into which enters a pin 12 fixed to a rod 9 which passes through the shaft 4 with one having an attached head or goods-Winder 10, which preferably has suitable grasping or holding means, such as the slot 11, into which one end of the collars or other goods is slipped and held prior to'coiling the same around the winder within an exterior holder, as hereinafter more fully explained." A spring clip device 11 may be arranged with in the winder slot 11 to assure more quick and secure hold of the end'of the collars or 7 goods entered into said'slot. The winder rod 9 has a crank 13 for turning it. v The standard 2 carries two laterally projecting arms 14,14, having end bearings 15,

15, in which is slidably mounted a rod 16 I having connection through an arm 17 with the winder rod 9 for endwise movement therewith. To the forward end of this rod 16 is fixed a goods holder 18 made in segmental form with aside opening 19 for admitting the goods within it and to and The slot-'and-pin connection 8-12, between the parts 4 and 9 causes the ejector 5 and winder 10 to rotate in unison and also permits endwise movement of the winder with the holder 18 as the pin slips along in the slot while the ejector'remains at rest. A vertically disposed lever 20 is fulcrumed at 21 to the bedplate land has operative connection with the rod 9 to impart endwise movement thereto. A spring 23 connecting the lever 20 with "the standard 2 serves to yieldingly hold said lever and connected parts in norposition when moved therefrom.

The above named parts 1 to 23 would alone constitute an eiiicient goods wrapping mechanism operating as hereinafter described, but it is preferred to also provide co-acting paper tube or wrapper carrying devices which preferably comprise a cylindrical tube or wrapper carrier 24 which is fixed to a rod 25 adjustablyheld at 26 to a lever 27 fulcrumed at 28 and preferably 110 50 v -11, and also from the holder 18, and

with the holder 18.

drawn toward the holder 18 and associated parts by a spring 29 until the lever strikes an adjusting screw or other stop 30 held to a suitable support on the bed-plate 1. The

lever 27 and stop 30' are so arranged on the bed-plate that the paper tube .or' wrapper carrler 24 is normally held by the spring 29 with its end fairly facing the wrapper the other hand around the raised carrier 24,

and the lever then is retracted by the sprin 29 to hold the carrier and wrapper aline The goods to be wrapped, collars for instance, are adjusted within the holder by first passing one endof the collars by hand through the holder side opening 19 and into the slot 11 of the wmder 10. The crank 13 now is turned by the other hand to rotate-the winder 10, and therebywind the collars or goods around it and within the holder 18, the ejector'5 being mcidentally turned with the winder by the engaging slot .8 and pin 12, while the holder 18 remains unmoved. After the collars or goods thus are placed within the holder, the

ever 20 is tilted outward a ainst a collar 22 on the rod 9, as indicated y dotted lines in Fig. 1 of the drawings, whereby the rod 9 is moved endwise within the now station ary shaft 4, as the pin 12 slides in the slot 8, and because of the arm connection 17, the

rod 16 is also and simultaneously moved endwise,thus causing the winder 10 to be slid into the hollow body of the ejector 5, while the holder 18 is simultaneously. moved endwise. As the ejector 56, is prevented from moving endwise by the ad'acent standard portion 3, said ejector will orce the collars or other goods from the slotted winder thereby said collars or-other goods will be dischar ed within the tubular' wrapper which ad been earlier slipped by hand from the alined carrier 24 to a position upon or around the holder. The tubular. wrapper proj sets at both open ends beyond the collars or goods lyin wlthin it and these ends may now be folde or tucked inward by the operators fingers and the packa e is complete and the wrapped collars re ain clean and unsoiled by contact with' moist or dirty hands. The wrapped package may or may not be tied by string, as the nature or bulk of the goods and the method of their transmission by messenger or by mail or express may require. When the wrapper carrymg devices24 to 30 are not used,the wrapper ejector as they are wound around the winder and within the holder 18. I claim as my invention 1. A wrapping machine comprising an open-sided endwlse movable goods holder periphery, a goods winder revoluble within the holder and movable endwise therewith, and an endwise immovable e'ector operative between the holder and win er.

2. A wrapping machine comprising an open-sided endwlse movable goods holder a apted to receive a tubular wrapper on its perlphery, a goods winder revoluble within the holder and movable endwisetherewith,

3. A wrapping machine comprising an o en-sided endwise movable. goods holder a apted to receive a tubular wrapper on its periplhery, a goods winder revoluble within the older and movable endwise therewith and having means adapted to grasp one end of thegoods to be woundthereon, and an endwise immovable goods e'ector operative between the holder and win er.

' 4. A wrapping open-sided endw se movable goods holder a apted toreceive a tubular wrapper on its pen hery, a goodswinder revoluble within the older and movable endwise therewith and having aslot adapted to grasp one end of the goods to be wound thereon, and an endwise immovable goods ejector between the holder and winder.

5. A wrapping machine comprising. an endwise movable goods holder adapted to receive a tubular wrapper on it's periphe and a tilting wrapper carrier norma y alined with the goods holder and permitting transference of an applied wrapper from the carrier to the holder.
