Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Preparing Fibre or Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: TOLES JUSTIN KAY
Filed: 1908-09-22
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 19,941. Toles, J. K. Sept. 22. Scutching-apparatus; heckling-machines; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Relates to apparatus for presenting fibre to the scutching or heckling apparatus and for holding it in position while being treated. Fibre fed from the breaker rollers 1 is delivered by a conveyer 8 and a cradle 12 to the rollers 13, Fig. 2, which feed it to the scutching or heckling apparatus 20. When rather more than one-half the length of the fibre has passed through the apparatus 20, the rollers 1 and the conveyer 8 are stopped, the rollers 13 are reversed, and the cradle 12 swings into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, and lays the ends of the fibre on a conveyer 15 which delivers the fibre, fed upwards by the rollers 13, to a cradle 16, in the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, from which it is fed downwards by the rollers 17 to the scutching or heckling apparatus 20. When a portion of fibre is being fed downwards by the rollers 13 the conveyer 15 is at rest and another portion of fibre is being fed upwards by the rollers 17 to a moving conveyer 19. The motions of the various parts are controlled by air pressure from a valve handle 23 which, when in the left-hand position as shown in Fig. 1, allows air to pass from a valve 21 to pipes 7, 24. The pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of a cylinder 5 having a piston connected to a clutch 3 through which the rollers 1 and conveyer 8 are driven. The pipe 24 is connected to the upper end of a cylinder 25 having a piston connected to a rod 26 and a lever 28 on a rockshaft 29 carrying a lever 30 which actuates the cradles 12,16 by means of rods and levers as shown. The rock-shaft is also connected to a rod 42 carrying belt forks which control open and crossed belts on the loose pulleys 45 and the fixed pulley 46 on the shaft 47. When the handle 23 is in the left-hand position the rollers 13, 17 driven in opposite directions by bevelwheels from the shaft 47, are feeding downwards and upwards respectively. The conveyers 15, 19 are driven from the rollers 13, 17 respectively by chains and clutches so that they are at rest when the rollers feed downwards and are in motion when the rollers feed upwards. When the handle 23 is moved to the right-hand position, air is admitted to the pipe 6 and the top of the cylinder 5 so that the clutch 3 is out of gear and the rollers 1 and conveyer 8 are at rest. Air is also admitted to the pipe 57 and the bottom of the cylinder 25 so that the rod 26 and lever 28 are forced upwards, thus reversing the motion of the rollers 13, 17 and moving the cradle into the positions shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2. The apparatus may be moved for adjustment &c. by a handle 59.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Blocking and Shaping Hats.
Inventor: ATHERTON GILES
IPC: A42C1/04
Filed: 1909-09-18
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 21,339. Atherton, G. Sept. 18. Felt hats, blocking.-The invention relates to detail improvements in hat-blocking machines, the hat body being held by clamping-fingers, and shaped between a block beneath and a banding - shell which is brought down from above. The shell is provided with means for the supply of steam or water. The machine, Figs. 2 and 4, is provided with fast and loose pulleys j, j<1> mounted on a sleeve i<1>, which can be coupled to the shaft i by an ordinary form of clutch operated by a hand-lever, and adapted to be uncoupled by the weight of the block p acting through the rod n on a system of levers q, q<1>. The hat body is placed on a series of fingers a, and the fingers b drawn down thereon by a hand-lever c acting through a link c<1>, lever c<2>, spindle c<3>, levers d, links d<1>, and ring d2 to which the fingers b are pivoted at d'. The hat body may. then be stretched by depressing a treadle e, pivoted at e<3>, and thus, by means of links e', levers f, and links g, raising a ring e<1>, which causes the fingers a, b to revolve outwards about their pivots a<1>, d<4>. The lever f is pivoted on a cross-head f<1>, the height of which is adjustable on the screwed spindle f<2> by a nut g<1>. Mounted on a shaft v, which is driven by gearing t<1>, t<2>, u<1>, u<2>, are cams w adapted to operate levers x, fulcrumed at x<1>, which, through links x<2>, and rods h<2>, lower the banding-shell h, carried by a cross-head h<1>, to the level of the hat body. Steam is then admitted to the inside of the banding-shell by a flexible pipe 16<a>, the valve 6 being opened by a cam 2 operating through a lever 3, rod 5, and link 4. At the same time, the block p is elevated by the spindle 10, raised by a cam 6<b>, which acts through levers 7 and links 8. Further motion of the cam 2 shuts off steam, and water is then introduced through the pipe 16<b>, the valve 6<a> being opened and afterwards closed by a cam 2<a> operating through a lever 3<a>, a rod 5<a>, and a link 4<a>. To allow fluid access to the brim, a ring of holes is provided at the bottom of the banding - shell, to which a jigging motion is given, while in contact with the hat, by notches w<1> on the cams w. Continued revolution of the cams w, 6<b> allows weights 12 to raise the banding-shell, and the table o to drop by gravity. The block p, however, is only attached to the table o by rods y<2>, Fig. 10, which slide through the table, and hence is retained in its elevated position by fingers 11, which project under the rods y<2> when the block is raised, and only allow it to fall when the spring bar 11<a> is manually released after removal of the hat. Fig. 8 shows means for vertical adjustment of the banding- shell, comprising an internally threaded revoluble sleeve 14 engaging the carrier 15, to which the banding-shell is attached by an interrupted thread. The rise of the treadle c is limited by an adjustable rod 13.
