CARD-GILDING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Ifl'o. 363,936, dated May 31, 1887.
Application filed January 22, 1887. Serial New-1,084. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. WRIGHT, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Card- GildinglVIachines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a class of machines especially adapted to gilding edges of beve1- edged cards, though it may be adapted to cards The object in view is to reduce as much as possible the time consumed 'in gildinga large number of cards, to make the work more uniform, and to reduce the labor upon the work. i
In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a card-gilding machine embodying my i 1u provements. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the clamps shown ,in the custody of the guide frames. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of Fig. 2 on line 00 a7, and Fig. 4 is a cross-section of Fig. 2 on line y y. I I
A represents a chain of card-clamps,D, which passes over wheels or drums B and G. This chain of clamps may travel horizontally or vertically, or, if desired, obliquely, the vertical arrangement being preferable, owing to the morelimitedfloor-spacerequired. Theclamps clamped between the plate F and base of theframe E, as shown in Fig. 3. These frames E are provided with hinged lugs e at top and bottom, by which they are coupled together by pins 6 to form the endless chain A. The sides of the frame E may have guides I, which run in grooves h on brackets H, arranged at the position where the operator gilds the cards, to prevent the clamps from vibrating during the act of gilding. To prevent the descent or vertical movement of the clamps prematurely,
suitable clamp, J, which grips the clamp and holds it rigid in the guides.
M is the operators table, which is supported by the brackets H in-frout of the clamps, but sufiiciently low to enable the gilder to work above it.
In operating, the chain of clamps may-be arranged vertically or horizontally, as desired; but the former is preferred, owing to the smaller floor-space required. As the clamps are moved around, they come below the operators table, where the stacked cards may be inserted in the clamps, or, if already inserted, they may be gilded.
While the machine is especially adapted to bevel-edged cards, it may also be used for straight-edged cards. As the clamps come in succession before the operators table, they are guided by the vertical guides, and thus held against lateral displacement; and to prevent any jarring or vertical movement the said clamps are looked in such guides until the completion of the gilding or clamping operation. One clamp never leaves the guides until the next adjacent clamp enters them.
It is evident that while I prefer the construction herein set out, I do not limit myself to the details thereof, as they maybe varied in many ways without departing from my invention.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is p 1. In a eardgilding machine, the combination of a chain of card-clamps, suitable guides therefor, whereby they maybe moved one after the other past the operator, and a lock to secure said chain of clamps in any desired position. i
2. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of a chain of card-clamps, suitable guides therefor, whereby they may be moved one after the other past the operator, a lock to secure said chain of clamps in any desired position,
and a stationary operators table, before which the clamps are guided. 3. In a cardgilding machine, the combination oftwo guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart and an endless chain of 100 card-clamps supported by said wheels or cylthe frame II may have an eccentric or other 1 inders and adapted to be moved about them.
4. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of two guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart, an endless chain of cardclamps supported by said wheels or cylinders, adapted to be moved about them, and a guide for'said clamps at one place in their travel to steady them.
5. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of two guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart, an endless chain of cardclamps supported by said wheels or cylinders and adapted to be moved about them, a guide for said clamps at one place in their travel to steady them, and a lockto prevent movement to said clamps when it is desired to operate on the cards held by them.
6. In a card'gilding machine, the combination of two guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart, an endless chain of cardclamps supported by said wheels or cylinders, adapted to be moved about them, and a stationary operators table, before which the card-clamps are caused to travel.
7. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of .a chain of card-clamps, suitable guides therefor, whereby they may be moved one after the other past the operator, the said clamps each consisting of a frame which is hinged or linked to adjacent frames, a movable jaw carried by the frame, and a screw or equivalent device to force said movable jaw down upon the cards.
8. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of two guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart, an endless chain of card- 5 clamps supported by said wheels or cyllnders and adapted to be moved about them, the sa d clamps each consisting of a frame which is hinged or linked to adjacent frames, a movable jaw carried by the frame, and a screw or 0 equivalent device to force said movable aw down upon the cards.
9. In a card-gilding machine, the combination of two guide wheels or cylinders arranged at a distance apart, an endless chain of cardclamps supported by said wheels or cylinders and adapted to be moved about them, the said chain of clamps consisting of a series of T- shaped skeleton frames hinged or linked together, a T-shaped loose clamp-jaw hinged to the rear extension of the skeleton frames, and hand clamp-screws or their equivalent carried by the frames and adapted to force the loose jaw down upon the cards.
10. In a cardgilding machine, a series of independent card-clamps arranged end to end, said clamps consisting of a clamp-frame, a loose clamping-jaw, and a clamping-screw or its equivalent carried entirely by the clamp to which it belongs and independent of the adjacent clamps, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
