Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 23,657. Tullis, D. K. Nov. 17. Guards. - A safety feeding arrangement for ironing-machines comprises two auxiliary rollers between which the articles are fed, the upper roller being so mounted that, when it is abnormally displaced, the strike gear is operated to stop the machine. The rollers c, d, mounted in front of the ironing-roll a, are supported by bell-crank levers e, which are pivoted at f and are operated by means of a treadle and lever to cause the roller d to revolve by contact with the roll a.
