example, milk containers made by the millions,

the furniture is made of metal. The chase die is ordinarily mounted on the upper platen or bolster of a press, and cooperates with a relatively thin fiat bottom assembly comprising a bottom plate beneath a cutting plate surmounted by scoring spacers or die plates, between which the scoring rules bend the material of the web. The cutting rules are sharpened and wide enough to go all the way through the material to the cutting plate.

After first setting up and testing the die, it is found that some cuts are clean and others not, and that some score lines are too deep and others too shallow. This requires an adjustment commonly called make-ready, and heretofore for this purpose, bits of paper were placed between the bottom plate and the cutting plate at points where the scoring or cutting is to be made deeper. For this reason the cutting plate was ordinarily fairly thin, and the bottom assembly was usually called a make-ready assembly. v

This trial-and-error procedure was often long drawn-out and tedious, and the nature of the adjustment made was such that a' whole area would be changed, rather than one particular cutting rule or scoring rule.

The primary object of the present invention is to generally improve chase dies, and to facilitate making ready.

A more particular object is to localize the adjustments to any one rule, instead of an area of the die. To this end the make-ready adjustments are made at the die itself, rather than at the bottom assembly, and in accordance with further features and objects of the invention, the die is mounted on the bolster with appropriate guide means, preferably including rollers and guide rails to facilitate sliding the die out of position and back again for the necessary adjustments of the rules. Appropriate locating means are also provided to insure return of the die to identical position after each adjustment.

To accomplish the foregoing general objects and other more specific objects which will hereinafter appear, my invention resides in the chase die elements, the guide and locating means for the same, and their relation one to the other, as

2 are heinafter more particularly described in the following specification. The specification is accompanied by drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a horizontal view of a chase die, showing also the guide means, and taken substantially in the plane of the line l-l of Fig. 3;

Fig. 2 is an elevation showing the guide means in relation to the press bolster;

Fig. 3 is an elevation showing a part of the press with the die mounted therein;

Figs. 4 and 5 are explanatory of the operation of the guide means;

Fig. 6 is a plan view of a part of the die with the hold-down plate removed;

Fig. '7 is an elevation thereof;

Fig. 8 is a section through a cutting rule, t in the plane of the line 8-8 of Fig. 6;

Fig. 9 is a similar section showing the addition ofa shim to lower the rule;

' Fig. 10 is a section through a scoring rule, taken approximately in the plane of the line Ill-l0 of Fig. 6;

Fig. 11 is an exploded view showing the parts associated with one of the rules;

Fig. 12 is a plan view of a part of the bottom assembly;

Fig. 13 isan elevation thereof; and

Fig. 14 shows the blank being made by the particular die illustrated in Figs. 6 and 12.

Referring to the drawing, and more particken ularly to Fig. 14, the die in the present case is intended to make a milk container blank. This requires cutting on the lines shown as solid lines, and scoring on the dot-dash lines. When this blank is folded and cemented, it provides a, milk container of the type having a sloping or gabled top. The blanks are formed in a continuous web of stock, and the die is preferably made long enough to form two blanks at a time, because they interflt at the bottom edges I 2 and M in such a way as to conserve material.

Referring now to Fig. 3, the web (not shown) is passed between the upper platen or bolster l6 and the lower head l8. Usually the upper head It is movable and the lower head It is stationary. A chase die 20 is secured to bolster I6, and a bottom assembly 22 is mounted'on the bottom head l8.

Referring now to Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawing, the die comprises a chase frame 24 within which cutting and scoring rules 26, 28, 30, etc., are disposed, these rules being properly spaced and supported in vertical or edgewise position by furniture 32, 34, 36, 38, etc. Fig. 7 shows how the cutting rules are. sharpened, as for example at 48,

needed, and that the back-up strips are preferably loosely fitted together, and loosely received in the lands. The rules are disposed edgewise and therefore are themselves rigid, so that the refinement of interfitting the ends of the back-up strips as just described, is not essential, though desirable.

1 The backup strips are themselvessufficiently hold the frame against any possibility of spreading under pressure of the set screws 44. The furniture is slotted to loosely received the tie-rod 45,. so that the latter does not interfere with assembly of the furniture within the frame, and seating of the furniture when tightened together by the set screws.

The furniture and rules are supported at the mitred ends.

top by a so-called hold-down plate. -This has been removed in Fig. 6, but is shown at 46 in Fig. 1. It may be comparatively thin, and'is held by four screws at the corners as indicated at 48. There is no. appreciable. load.'other..-than@complate, for the. reason; that the plate. isxflush-xwith the top of the chase frame;.and; rests-directly "against the :bottom. face of the bolster of; the

The shims are preferably rectangular in outline, being made of ordinary shim stock having a width approaching that of the back-up strips. The

. piecesrmay have a length approximately equal to the length of the back-up strips without the Such shims are indicated in Fig. 6 at 14 and 16.

Inasmuch as the chase die may have to he slid out several times for trial and error adjustment of the rules, I provide guide means to facilitate access to the top of the die. While notzessential; I prefer to-provide anti-friction. meansin the form of cooperating rollers and rails. In the present case, the rollers -are provided. at the sides .ofrthe die, and therails are-fixedlyrsecured to the Thus the: reaction :of the: cuttingv pressure bolster of the; press. In the-drawing, the rollers are indicated at .80 and run on-rails 82: The latter have verticalsupport and'spacerportions 84 which are secured directly to the'bolsterbymeans of bolts 86'. The parts 82 a-nd- 84 are -L-shaped in section, as is best indicated at-the left in Fig. 3.

To secure the die firmly in position on the bolster, I provide attaching means, here exemplified by mating ears and gibst- The ears are shown 12.11 90, and in the present casearemade-integrally with the chase frame, there-beingfour, ears at the four cornersof therframe asisbest-shown in-Figs; 1. and 6.: :The ears have slopingtouter zedges 9'2 best shown in:Figs..3 and-4,. and these mate with the sloping inner-edges of gibs 94 which are releasably secured to bolster -;l'6- by..means of shims 60 (exaggerated in thickness in thevdrawway the makeeready.adjustment:maysbeapplied .to any individual rule.

are released slightly, thus permitting the rollers r 801 to descend slightly .untilthey rest .on the rails 82, this change being indicated to an exaggerated l extent by the changefrom Fig.- 3 to Fig. 4 in the drawing. In Fig; 3 the gibs have-been-tig-h-tened and therollers 80 are lifted sli-ghtly'from.the rails. In Fig; 4 the .gib has been released and the roller rests .on the rail. .The die-ispthen pulled out of thexpress; the hold-down plate 46 1s removed;

To fix the position of the die in transverse direction, that is, left and right, as viewed in Fig.

3, the gibs on one side, for example, the gibs 94 on the right side, are considered the home gibs,

and are invariably tightened first, thus bringing them all the way up against the bolster. The gibs on the other side are tightened last, and move the die to the right as far as permitted by the home gibs.

Moreover, the position of the gibs them- In passing, it may be mentioned that there is no chance of the die being twisted excessively to one side or the other as it is being rolled into position, for the sides of the chase frame come fairly close to the inside edges of the rails 82 (see Figs. 3 and 4). Thus the cars 90 slide smoothly over the released gibs as the die is pushed to the end stops I92, whereupon the gibs may be tightened, one side being tightened home first, as previously described.

The bottom assembly is shown in Figs. 12 and 13, and may be conventional It comprises a bottom plate i [2, a cutting plate 5M, and scoring spacers or die plates H6. The plates Hi5 are held in position by screws (see Fig, 12), and provide grooves or spaces therebetween in which the rules of the chase die are received. The

as sought to be defined in the following claims. For convenience, those claims dealing with the rail and roller arrangement specify that the rollers are on the die and the rails on the bolster, position of the die to the left or right, as viewed 5 but it will be understood by those skilled in the artthat if desired, rollers might be mounted on the bolster, and rails provided on the die.

I claim:

1. A chase die-comprising a chase frame, rules, furniture supporting said rules within said frame, a hold-down plate in back of said rules and furniture, and make-ready means for determining the height of said rules relative to one another within said chase frame and relative to said frame.

2. Achase die comprising a chase frame, rules, furniture supporting said rules within said frame, a hold-downplate in back of said rules and furniture, and make-ready means for determining the relative height of said rules, saidmake-ready means including shims disposed between the back of some of the rules and the hold-down plate. 3. "A chase die comprising a chase frame, rules,

furniture supporting said rules within said frame,

' said furniture having peripheral lands at the top,

hold-down plate, and back-up strips received in said lands between the backs of the rules and the hold-down plates, said back-up strips having a plates H6 are not needed for the cutting rules,

or. the like between the plates H2 and H4 at points requiring a deeper out. For the same reason, the handle shown at essential.

It is believed that the construction and operation of my improved chase die and guide means therefor a. well as the advantages thereof, will be apparent from the foregoing detailed description. The die is somewhat more complex in providing lands on the furniture and back-up H6 is no longer trips-- within .thelands, but this is compensated by the ease and accuracy of making-ready, for

each individual rule may be separately and accurately adjusted by" the use of thin shims disposed above that particular rule. Moreover,

access to the back-up strips is facilitated by the guide means, which preferably include anti-friction rollers such that the die is readily pulled out of position and replaced during the process of making-ready by trial and error. It is correctly located when replaced, but in addition, for

caution, the die may be provided with pilot pins,

and the bottom assembly with mating pilot holes 1 (not shown in the drawing).

. It will be apparent that while I have shownand described my invention in a preferred form,

changes, may be made in the structure disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
