Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Linoleum and in Apparatus therefor.
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1912-01-10
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 817. Linoleum Manufacturing Co., and Godfrey, A. A. Jan. 10. Inlaid fabrics.-Linoleum resembling woven reed or rush mattings is made by applying to a sheet a of inlaid linoleum a thin layer b of a different colour, cutting strips, preferably of square section, from the combined sheets, turning them through a rightangle, and recombining them as shown in Fig. 2. In a modification, half the thickness of one colour d is applied to a backing e by stencils &c., a layer of dividing colour f is applied on the colour d, then the full thickness of a second colour g, then a second sheet f<1> of the dividing colour, and finally the second half of the first colour d, the whole being consolidated by pressure plates h, and the backing being removed. The sheet is cut into strips, and the strips turned through a rightangle and recombined as before. Apparatus for cutting the combined sheets into strips comprises feed-rollers k, which are intermittently actuated by a ratchet l and pawl m operated bv an eccentric rod n from a shaft o. The linoleum i is fed past a stationary knife and passes through a loop p attached to a reciprocating plate g, which pushes the linoleum against the knife and is operated from the shaft o by eccentrics s and rods r. A second plate t, reciprocated from the shaft o by rods u and cam grooves in the eccentrics s, pushes the cut sections under the knife on to a backing w, which transfers them to pressing rolls &c. In another modification, a compound sheet as above described is cut into widths which are wider or narrower than the complete pattern on the sheet by the thickness of the sheet; these widths are then superposed in the order in which they were cut, and from the block so formed sheets are cut and laid side by side to form a finished sheet.
