Abstract

Box machine forming wheels are individually stabilized with a respective, frame mounted, stationary yoke disposed within the circumferential groove of a head wheel that is rigidly secured to the forming wheel. Lateral space between the yoke finger faces and the rotating groove walls is adjustably filled by rub plates mounted on dowel pins confined within yoke finger guide bores. A cone tipped adjustment screw cooperates with conical tips on the dowel pins to selectively expand the rub plate assembly for operational wear accommodation.
