Patent GB-190106691-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Construction of Felt Hat Brim Curling and Ironing Machine.
Filed: 1901-03-30
Granted: 1902-03-29
Abstract: 6691. Atherton, G., and Turner, Atherton, & Co. March 30. Felt hats; brims; ironing.-Relates to the construction of a felt-hat brim curling and ironing machine, by which the brims may be expeditiously curled and ironed to various sizes and shapes of curl, to various sizes of ovals, and to distortions of such ovals, i.e. square at the corners, and to other shapes. The hat H is placed on a block 14, Fig. 1, mounted on a table 13 which is pinned to a plate 11 having grooves on its underside which are engaged with projections on a plate 6 so that the position of the plate 11 with regard to the stud 9 on the plate 3 can be varied. The plate 6 rests on a boss 5 on a sliding plate 4, which in turn rests upon a sliding plate 3 which carries the stud 9 upon which is mounted a cam plate 10, Fig. 10, upon which the plate 6 rests. This plate 6 has a ring of teeth on its lower face which is in gear with a spur-wheel 17. When the plate 3 or 4 has, by a system of regulating-screws, been adjusted so that the plate 6 is eccentric to the stud 9, the hat has an elliptical or oval movement varying in size with the degree of eccentricity. When it is desired to form a hat with square corners, the means shown in Fig. 4 are employed, which are designed to give the hat, as its brim passes beneath the curling-tool 22, a slight movement away from the tool and repeat such movement as many times as there are to be corners in the hat. In this case the stud 9 is connected to and rotates with the cam plate 10, and passes through a hole in the plate 3 and an opening in the table 1, below which it carries a plate 68 on the underside of which are a number of pegs 69 corresponding with the number of corners to be made, and, at certain intervals, these pegs engage in a cam which is moved to and-fro in sympathy with the hat so as to produce the desired result. To hold the hat H firmly to the block 14, a metal rim or yoke 59 with or without a brim flange is employed. The top surface of the table 13 is horizontal or curved according to the shape of the hat to be treated. Means, operated by the treadle 49, are provided for simultaneously disengaging the wheel 17 from the plate 6 and withdrawing the iron 42 from the hat. The curling-tool 22, at the end of the operation, is raised by a handle to the position shown in Fig. 4, in which elevated position it is held by a latch. The curling-tool 22 is mounted on the end of a shaft fitted in an arm 20, and means are provided for rotating the tool. The iron 42 is heated by any suitable means, but, when gas is used, a pipe 43 which branches off to a rotary blower 44 is employed, so that, bv means of a jet of gas and a forced current of air, great heat is obtained and the smell of gas is prevented. To prevent singeing of the felt, each iron has a layer of asbestos at its lower edge.
