IPC: D06F83/00
Filed: 1940-07-25
Abstract: 544,159. Padding for ironing machines and mangling rolls; knitted fabrics. GOODLOE, A. M., and HARTWELL, R. L. July 25, 1940, No. 12154. [Classes 42 (ii), 74 (ii) and 138 (ii)] [Also in Group XIV] A resilient padding for ironing or smoothing presses, and mangle rolls is formed of juxtaposed layers of a knitted metallic mesh having loosely interlinked loops of springy wire, these layers being arranged on a support and provided with a facing cover. Round or strip spring wire of a non- corrodible metal or alloy may be used for making the knit mesh, and the layers are superposed on one another, if desired in staggered relation, or folded or rolled, or arranged side by side on edge, to build up the thickness of the padding. Some or all of the layers may be corrugated, grooved or fluted, as by bending the links of the wire in the mesh as shown at 17, Fig. 2, wherein the superposed' layers 10 forming the padding are supported on a base and covered by a facing cover 14.

The rotor 2 which carries a single or double squirrel-cage winding is mounted on the driven shaft 1 and rotates at a speed which is the sum of the speeds of the fields set up by the primary windings. The stator 10 has a winding which can be closed through resistances or through brushes on a commutator 15 connected to an additional winding on the member 7. The commutator winding may be combined with the winding 9. Power factor correction and speed regulation may be obtained by adjusting the commutator brushes, or the commutator may supply continuous current to the winding 11 so that the elements 7, 10 function synchronously. A single or double squirrel-cage winding may be provided on the stator. In a modification, Fig. 3, for use with bi-polar circuits the diameter of the apparatus is reduced by disposing the rotor 2 and stator 10 axially in line surrounded by the two-part member 7. In another modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the rotor of a machine of normal construction carries a primary winding and is coupled to the outer primary member of a second motor, the rotor of which drives the load.
