Title: A Machine for Extracting Threads from Fabrics.
Inventor: FISCHER HERMANN CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1905-12-05
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 25,293. Fischer, H. C., and Steiner, I. Dec. 5. Open-work effects, producing by mechanically removing threads or parts thereof; clipping.-Relates to machines for. removing certain threads or parts thereof from a fabric, to produce ornamental effects such as are often necessary in making seams or open-work. When the operation is commenced away from the edge of the fabric, a knife 13, Fig. 7, on an upwardly spring-pressed rod 14 is depressed to free one end of the thread or threads to be removed, and a presser 16, having openings for the passage of the knife 13 and of a knife 8 and needle 12, is then depressed by spring action. The knife 8 is sawedged, and it is carried on a crank-reciprocated rod so as to enter a hole, previously made in the fabric by the needle 12 at a point in the rear, and to force out the thread or threads, which are then cut by a swing- ing cutter 25 adjustably carried in a special manner by a crank 24 on a crank-oscillated shaft 21 ; or the threads are cut by a reciprocating cutter sliding in guides. The needle 12 prevents the accidental removal 1 o f threads lying across the thread or threads to be removed by the knife 8. The fabric is intermittently fed forward and at the same time stretched by roughened feeders 48, Fig. 2, having wings 49 for the insertion of pins or plates 47, which are given an up-and-down and to-and-fro movement by mechanism including cranks 46, 44. In a modification, Fig. 8, a special adjustable swinging clamping-jaw 57 is arranged underneath the fabric in place of the cutter 25 ; or the jaw is moved up and down vertically. The needle 12 is replaced by an adjustable flat knife-blade 52, which is caused to descend by cam action and cut the threads just before the knife 8 descends. The latter then forces the threads through a hole in a plate 50, Fig. 3, and the threads, being clamped by the jaw 57, are removed by the feeding forward of the fabric. The presser 16 may also be adjustable. The parts 13, 8, 12 are all in the line of travel of the fabric. The feeders 48 are caused to move inwards and outwards to stretch the fabric by sliding over the wedge-shaped plate 50, Fig. 3, within the openings of a cover-plate 34. The presser 16 has a pointed finger in line with the knives, to indicate the direction of the fabric feeding movement. To obtain exact adjustment, a microscope or other enlarging-device is used, and a screen 62 is arranged to avoid distraction of the worker's eyes by the moving parts. The machine is driven by the feet of the worker or other source of power.
