T a/ZZ whom t may concern:

A Be it known that L'WAL'IER E. WINES, of Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota, have invented certain new, and useful Improvemen'tsl in NewspaperfAssemblng Machnes, 'of which the following is a specification. l The object of my invention is to provide a -'machine wherein the several' parts or sections of a v Sunday or"holid'ay edition of a newspaperv can" be easily and quickly ass'e'mbiedor put together; and the invention hereinv described' is 'designed .as av modification of @the ,outer-section opening meansy .15

shown and' described inA a certain pending happlication forLetters Patent of the United States filed by me May 2, 1905, Serial No.

' out in theclaims'.

'l`he invention consists generally in providing means for bending orv buckling the lower folded edge, ofthe outer section ofthe news'- `paper upwardlyY to separate lthe sides of the` fold and allow thel nose of the spreader to i c pass between them. 25

In the accompanies drawings, femm "g part of this specification, `Figure l is 3, rem.

chine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line x of, Fig.

1f looking toward theleft-hand 4end of the machine' or in the direction of the arrow marked a.- Fig. 3 is a-detailview, partially in section, of the feedrolls vand the device for opening up the fold' at the lower edge of the outer section. Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line y y of Fig'. 3 looking inthe direction indicated by the arrow. Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view through the feed-roll.

shafts and the spreader device, showing the outer section between .the feed-rolls and a modified means. for openin its fold to Are-A ceive thel nose of the sprea er.- Fig. 6 is a detal'Viewy of Figj, showing in side eleva tion the feed-rolls, the spreader device, and the striker in the act o f engaging the folded edge ofthe section.-

1n the drawing, 2 represents a suitable frame wherein the operating mechanism of 'the assembling-machine is mounted. This machine, as fully described in the application heretofore referred to, is rovided with a primary and' secondary fee one for the outer section or. part of the paper and the other for an inner section or art. These feedl devices have been' describe in detail in my application filed as stated above, and it yisnot necessary in this case to again refer to these parts ofthe machine specifically, and I will therefore simply designate them as the primary and secondary feed devices. 3v represents a driving-shaft having'a pulley 4 and a pinion 5, connected through a train of gears 6 with the ear mechanism 7 at'the opposite end of t e machine from which the primary feed device is operated.

sections or parts so -fed are de ivered to a-series of tapes 8 and turned thereby from a horizontal to avertical position and delivered to a'stop-plate 9, with the folded edge of the sectionet the bottom, A pusher device 10 is operated through gears 11,' shafts 12, and beveled gears 13l from the drive-shaft 3. The funetionof this pusher device is to en'- gage one end of the newspaper-section andv feed it forward on edge to a point where it Will be engaged by the friction feed- wheels 14 and 15, arranged vin pairs, one pair being mounted upona pivoted plate 16 and moved toward and from the paper through a rod and eccentric connection 17 with a lcam-shaft. VThe feed-wheels are driven through contact with the surfaces of feed- rolls 18 and 19, mounted on the shafts' 12 and 20 and geared to the driving-shaft 3. The mechanism heretofore described is. substantially the same as in my application above referred to. The feedrolls differ from those shown and described in my former application in having no neumatic or other devices arranged in their surfaces for attracting and opening the sides-of the newspaper fold to allow it to receive the nose of the spreader. Feed-tapes 21 and 422, .arranged in pairs, are operated through vertical vshafts 21', geared to the driving-shaft4 Near the feed-ro`lls and projecting above the level of the plate 9 is an antifriction-wheel 27, supported in a bracket 25. This `wheel is adapted to' engage the folded lower edge of the newapapensection at its forward end and cause the same to bend 3 and 4. lThe fold will be opened sufficiently .to receive the nose 30 of a fixed spreader device-29, which is` arranged near the .feed-rolls, one side of the section passingone 'side of the The outer newspaper part or section is fed. from the hopper in the primar feed, and the ICO or buckle upwardly, as plainly shown in Figs.

Lspreacler and the other side of the section on of the feed-rolls 18 to receivethe tapes 2 1 and 22, as indicated in Fi s. and 6, and instead of mounting thewhee 27 in a fixed support I may provide a bracket carrying said'z Wheel at its upper Yend and vertically movable in guides 26 and having an arm28, that travels in again-,groove 24, provided in the periphery of a hu b 23, secured on the shaft 12.-

The movements of the parts willbe properly timed's'o' that the wheel 27, normally below i the level of' the plate-9, will be raised to a p'oin'tabove saidplate into the-path f the4 newspaper-section at. thefr'ight moment to; engage the lower edge-'ofthe section'and open the'fold therein -xwhen the end of the lseetion passes out `from betweenthe feed-rolls'. Af-

' -ter` leaving the spreader dvicethe newspaposltion with its v folded edge at the bottom,` of an antifriction-whe'el. arranged to engage,

per-section will pass betweenytlie'rolls 33 'and 3.4,' both having'a revolving movement and thelatter an. oscillating movementV through its connection with the bellcrank 35 andthe cam 35 on the camshaft 136. During. the time'the outer section of the newspa er, with' its fold opened-,is held betweenthero ls 33 andK 34 the inner-section will be fed down between the tapes 37 afnd 3:8 in' substantially thesame manner as described in myV ending applica'- 4en the two sec'- tion above referredfto. tions havebeen assembled," they will pass down between ythe rolls 3 3jand 3 4 tothe packing mechanism beneath.'
