Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
In a device for the manfacture of cups of paper or similar material, the cups consisting of a conic-shaped mantle and with a cup-shaped bottom portion inserted into the mantle with the side edges pointing toward the narrower end of the mantle and with the outer surface of the bottom portion being joined to the inner surFace of the mantle, the improvement which comprises: a. a conic-shaped pin adapted to receive a conic-shaped mantle in overlying relationship thereon, said mantle, when so received, partially extending beyond said pin at the narrower face thereof, said mantle having a seam portion extending along the length thereof: b. a pressing cheek movably disposed adjacent said conic shaped pin and opposite said seam portion of said mantle; c. means movably disposed to be moved adjacent the seam portion at the edge extending beyond said pin and within said mantle opposite said pressing cheek, whereby said seam portion is supported by an abutment surface, in relationship to said pressing cheek, along said pin and along said means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
In a device for the manfacture of cups of paper or similar material, the cups consisting of a conic-shaped mantle and with a cup-shaped bottom portion inserted into the mantle with the side edges pointing toward the narrower end of the mantle and with the outer surface of the bottom portion being joined to the inner surFace of the mantle, the improvement which comprises: a. a conic-shaped pin adapted to receive a conic-shaped mantle in overlying relationship thereon, said mantle, when so received, partially extending beyond said pin at the narrower face thereof, said mantle having a seam portion extending along the length thereof: b. a pressing cheek movably disposed adjacent said conic shaped pin and opposite said seam portion of said mantle; c. means movably disposed to be moved adjacent the seam portion at the edge extending beyond said pin and within said mantle opposite said pressing cheek, whereby said seam portion is supported by an abutment surface, in relationship to said pressing cheek, along said pin and along said means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A device as defined in claim 1 wherein said means is a strip disposed in a groove in said pin at the peripheral surface thereof, said strip having a surface conforming to the surface of said pin, and said strip being movable between a position in which it is completely confined within said pin and a position wherein a portion thereof extends beyond the narrower end of said mantle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
A device as defined in claim 1, wherein said means is disposed adjacent the narrower end of said pin and is adapted to be moved into contact therewith, said means having a shoe thereon which, when said means contacts said pin, extends along the seam line above said narrower end of said pin and provide an abutment surface, in conjunction with the surface of said conic-shaped pin, against which the seal line can be pressed by said pressing cheek.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
A device as defined in claim 1, further comprising second means disposed adjacent the narrower end of said pin and movable axially of said pin to deposit a bottom portion of the cup upon the narrower face thereof when said means are displaced from abuting relationship with the seam line above said narrower face, said bottom portion, when said deposited, having the bottom wall in contact with said narrower face and said side edges extending adjacent to the inner surface of said mantle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
91 words
A device as defined in claim 4 further comprising a third means movable axially of said pin and toward said portion of said mantle extending beyond said narrower face and said side edges of said cup-shaped bottom portion, said third means being adapted to move, after said second means is retracted from within said mantle, against said portion of said mantle and said side edges of said cup-shaped bottom portion extending beyond said narrower surface of said pin to urge said portion and said side edges into a flanged interlocking position.
