1 Claim.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a malleablizing machine for a method of grinding or making flexible rigid or stiii material such as heavy corrugated board.

It is now the general practice in large industries that receive products packaged in heavy corrugated cardboard, to cast off or sell such board as waste material. In a great many instances such industries must pay to have this waste material hauled away. The accumulation of this waste material is especially'true in large department stores that receive many of their salable products packaged in this board.

As is well known in the art, the corrugated board material is used in protective packaging of articles and therefore is rigid, stiff and of a durable quality. Naturally, when the articles are removed from the corrugated board the latter is now classed as waste; since it cannot be used for protective wrapping due to its rigid and stiff quality.

Therefore, one of the objects of this invention is the provision of an apparatus and method for malleablizing corrugated waste board material, so that it may be utilized for. the protective wrapping of articles.

Other objects and features will more fully appear from the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a sectional vertical frontal view;

Fig. 2 an end view; and

Fig. 3 a diagrammatic view.

Referring to the drawings a grinding or malleablizing machine I consists of support 2-3 secured to supporting frames 4-5 shown in part only. A fluted roller 6 is journall'ed in bearings in the basal portion of said supports as clearly disclosed in Fig. 1.

Each of the supports 2--3 are provided with a pair of arms forming tracks and upon which respectively ride slotted block bearings I (only one shown in Fig. 2). The slots in said blocks are on either side and register with and ride upon the tracks formed by said arms and which are clearly illustrated in Fig. 2.

Springs 8 (only one shown in Fig. 2) are respectively disposed upon said bearings 1 and are in operative relation with threaded pressure handles 9-l0 that are mounted in threadable fashion in cross beams l l-I 2 secured to and disposed between said arms.

A fluted roller 13 is journalled in said block bearings and adapted to mesh and engage with 2 roller 6. Gears i i-15 respectively mounted upon the axles of rollers 6-43 mesh with each other and a drive gear 15 is secured near the end of the axle of roller 6. This gear is connected with a source of power (not shown) which causes said rollers to be actuated.

Referring to Fig. 3 a piece of corrugated board i7 is shown before and after it has passed between rollers 6-43. The portion of the board disposed on a table portion [8 represents its rigid quality before being fed into the rollers; while the portion showing the corrugated surface represents the treated material.

It is obvious from the foregoing that by passing rigid and stiff corrugated board between fluted rollers the said board is made flexible and capable of being used to wrap articles in a protective manner.

Having described this invention what isclaimed 1s:

In a device of the character described consisting of a fluted roller provided with an axle mounted in bearings respectively and fixedly disposed in a pair of supports; one end of said axle extending beyond its companion support and provided with a gear and drive gear secured thereto in spaced relation to each other; a fluted roller provided with an axle mounted in bearings respectively disposed in said supports in movable fashion; each of said last named bearings being respectively connected through springs with pressure handles for actuating said last named fluted roller a table juxtaposed near the meshing point of said rollers and extending beyond and away from said supports, for directing a material between said rollers, and a gear connected to one end of said last named axle which meshes with the gear of said first named axle.
