Abstract
Abstract A liquid dispensing system for depositing a liquid along a line of a paper transported by a conveyor. The liquid is utilized for aiding a subsequent folding of the paper along the line. A pipe having an outlet orifice for depositing the liquid is positioned adjacent the paper. A liquid reservoir holds a sufficient supply of the liquid during the process. A valve controls the flow of the liquid to the outlet orifice. The orifice can be vertically and horizontally adjusted with respect to the paper so as to place the liquid along the desired line of the paper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A liquid dispensing system for depsoiting liquid along the line of a paper transported by a conveyor means for subsequent ease in folding said paper along said line comprising: conduit means having an outlet orifice positioned adjacent and spaced from said paper for depositing a fine line of said liquid on said paper; a liquid reservoir for holding a supply of said liquid; valve means for controlling the flow of said liquid to said outlet orifice; means for adjusting the vertical and longitudinal position of said orifice with respect to said paper, wherein said conduit is secured to a mounting bracket said bracket being fixed to a mounting member, said mounting member supporting said longitudinal adjusting means and said bracket supporting said vertical adjusting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A liquid dispensing system for depsoiting liquid along the line of a paper transported by a conveyor means for subsequent ease in folding said paper along said line comprising: conduit means having an outlet orifice positioned adjacent and spaced from said paper for depositing a fine line of said liquid on said paper; a liquid reservoir for holding a supply of said liquid; valve means for controlling the flow of said liquid to said outlet orifice; means for adjusting the vertical and longitudinal position of said orifice with respect to said paper, wherein said conduit is secured to a mounting bracket said bracket being fixed to a mounting member, said mounting member supporting said longitudinal adjusting means and said bracket supporting said vertical adjusting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A liquid dispenser in accordance with claim 1 wherein said conduit has a curved elbow portion adjacent said orifice in a direction with respect to travel of said paper for aiding deflection of said paper when said paper tends to lift from said conveyor means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A liquid dispensing system in accordance with claim 1 wherein said bracket being formed in a plane parallel to the plane of movement of said conveyor, said bracket being movable radially and circumferentially about a circle whose circumference is defined by said conduit movement for enabling said orifice to place a line of liquid along any part of said paper.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A liquid dispensing system in accordance with claim 1 wherein said line is placed along said paper in a plane parallel to the axis of movement of said paper.
