MACHINE FOR MAKING BUTTONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 701,1 16, dated May 27,1902. Application filed June 26.1901. Serial No- 66,175. (No model.)
invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Buttons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
This invention relates to machines for making buttons; and it consists of the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter shown, described, and claimed. I
The object of this invention is to provide an improved machine for making buttons, consistingof the usual dies incombination with a plunger supported above the dies and adapted to be moved from one to the other and having means for automatically shifting the carrying-sleeve of the plunger to release the button when placed within the last ofthe dies.
My invention consists of a button-making machine comprising a suitable base, two dies mounted side by side upon the base, a standard mounted upon the base a suitable dis-' tance from the dies, the upper end of said standard extending forwardly over the dies and being provided with a vertical bearing, a plunger operating in said bearing,a handle for operating said plunger, said handle being pivotally connected to the standard andpivotally connected to the upper end of'the plunger, said standard being connected to the base by a swivel-joint, as required to allow the" plunger to move from one die to the other, adjustable stops mounted upon the base to limit the swinging motion of said plunger, a button-forming die slidingly mounted upon thelower end of said plunger, a spring for holding said die in its normal position, a bayonet-joint connection between the die and the plunger for holding the die in its elevated position, an arm projecting from said die, and stops mounted upon said base, one near each of the first-mentioned dies, in position to be engaged by the arm extending from the die carried by the plunger, said plunger-die be ing operated from its normal locked position to its normal unlocked position by the engagement of said arm against said stops.
Figure 1 is a side view showing the co1nplete machine. Fig. 2 is a plan View. Fig. 3 is a vertical section. Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken through the two dies. Fig. 5 is an en- 5 5 over the central disk or frame, and in the die 3 the back or pin diskis'forcedjinto the central disk or frame, andthereby secures all the parts together. .At the-opposite end of the base is formed a suitable bearing 4, upon which is mounted a standard 5, retained in position by means of thelbolt 6. The upper end of the standard 5 extends forwardly over the dies 23 and is provided with a vertical bearing inwhich'the upper end of the plunger 7 operates; A flange or projection 8 7 5 is rigid with the plunger 7 near its lower end, and a sleeve 9 is mounted upon the lower end of the said die. The spring 10, located between the flange 8 and sleeve 9, actuates the latterfdownwardly. An angular slot 11 is formed in the plunger 7, and a screw 12 pro jects through the sleeve 9 into the said slot andw'hen in the lower portion of the slot the sleeve will be held in position projecting below the lower end of the die, and when the sleeve is turnedto bring the end of the screw into the vertical portion of the slot the sleeve may be operated upwardly in opposition to the power of the spring 10. The sleeve 9 is held in. its downward position while over the 0 die 2, and when the plungeris operated the parts of the button which are containedwithin the die 2 will be folded together overthe central frame or disk and will be raised out of the said die 2 and held within the sleeve The standard 5 can then be turned -on its bearing to bring the plunger over the die 3, within which the back or pin disk of the button is contained. The sleeve 9 is then turned to bring the inner end of the screw 12 into the 103 vertical portion of the slot 11, after which the plunger is operated downwardly, forcing the At one endof 6o back or pin disk of the button into the frame or central disk and crimping the edges of the picture and the transparent front within the said frame or central disk, and thereby fastening the different parts of the button together. The projection 13 is rigid with the sleeve 9, and a vertical post or standard leis supported by the base 1 adjacent to each of the dies 2 3. When the standard 5 is turned, the projection 13 will be brought into contact with one of the posts or standards 14, and thereby turn the sleeve as required for the die over which it is supportedthat is to say, when the plunger is over the die 2 the projection 13 comes into contact with the standard or post 14, and thereby turns the sleeve 9 on the plunger 7 and brings theinner end of the screw 12 into the horizontal portion of the slot 11. The reverse operation occurs when the standard 5 is turned to bring the plunger 7 over the die 3.
A lever 15 is supported by the upper end of the standard 5 and is connected to an extension of the plunger 7 by means of the connection 16, affording means for operating the plunger by moving the said lever 15. Two lugs or posts 17 are rigid with the base 1 adjacent to the bearing 4, and screw-bolts 18 are adjustably supported by the said lugs or posts. A projection 19 is rigid with the lower end of the standard 5 and projects between the lugs 17 in alinement with the ends of the screw-bolts 18. The said screw-bolts are the stops whereby the standard may be stopped at the required position when the plunger 7 is over the dies.
I claim--* 1. In a button-forming machine, a suitable base; dies mounted upon the base; a standard swiveled' to the base; a plunger carried by the standard in position to swing from one die to another; a die loosely mounted upon said plunger, there, being an L-slot in the plunger and a pin extending from the die into said slot, said die being lockedon the plunger when rotated to move the pin into the horizontal part of the slot and said die being free to slide on the plunger when unlocked; an arm projecting from said plunger-die; and
stops mounted upon the base in position to be engaged by said arm, as required to rotate said plunger-die upon the plunger by the swinging of the plunger from one die to another; thereby alternately locking and unlocking said die; substantially as specified.
2. In a button-forming machine, a suitable base; two dies mounted upon the base; a standard swiveled to the base; a plunger mounted in the standard in position to be swung from one die to the other; adjustable stops mounted upon the base to limit the swing of said standard, as required to bring the plunger exactly in position over said fixed (lies; an arm extending from the standard between said stops, so that the plunger may be adjusted independently relative to each die; and a handle for operating said plun ger, substantially as specified.
3. In a button-forming machine, a suitable base; dies mounted upon the base; a standard swiveled to the base; a plunger carried by the standard in position. to swing from one die to another; a die loosely mounted upon said plunger, there being an L-slot in the plunger and a pin extending from the die into said slot, said die being locked on the plunger when rotated to move the pin into the horizontal part of the slot and said die being free to slide on the plunger when unlocked; an arm projecting from said pl unger-die; and stops mounted upon the base in position to be engaged by said arm, as required to rotate said plunger-die upon the plunger by the swinging of the plunger from one die to another, thereby alternately locking and unlocking said die; adjustable stops mounted upon the base to limit the swing of said standard, as required to bring the plunger exactly in position over said fixed dies; andahandle for operating said plunger, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
