Rotating-tool machines. - In a rotating-tool machine for setting-out or otherwise treating hides and skins, a supplementary device cooperates with the pressure roll to stretch a portion of the skin around the tool so as to remove creases and give an initial working prior to that given on the main pressure roll. The supplementary pad 1 and pressure roll b are shown retracted from the tool c in Fig. 1, and in the operative position in Fig. 2. The roll b is carried by arms d, which are pivoted to the machine frame at e and are attached by a toggle f, g and rod l to a pedal-actuated crank m. The pad 1 is pivoted at 3 in arms 2, which are journaled on the ends of the shaft of the roll b and which co-operate at their outer ends with pins or rollers 4 adjustably secured on the machine frame. The pad is also rigidly joined at one or both ends 7 to a rod 5 sliding in a guide 6, so that the pad moves out from under the roller b as it rises towards the tool and finally stretches the hide away from the roll. The angular relation between the tool and pad may be adjusted at the joint 7. The pad may be turned on its pivots by levers or by gearwheels actuated from a rack in place of being turned by the rods 5; and, in another form, it may be mounted on arms independently of the pressure roller.
