Title: A New or Improved Machine for use in connection with Sticking Needles and such like Articles upon Paper or other Flexible Material.
IPC: B65B15/02
Filed: 1909-03-02
Granted: 1910-03-02
Abstract: 5063. Allwood & Sons, W., and Iles, F. March 2. Carding-apparatus. -In a machine for sticking needles, hodkins, and like headless articles in paper &c., cutting- means are combined with the sticking - mechanism so that the paper is cut off into sections. The parts of the machine are conveniently mounted on parallel rods B to allow proper alinement, and access is gained to the under parts of the mechanism by swinging the rods upwards. For this purpose they are attached at one end to a bar pivoted in standards a<1>, and they are detachably secured at their other end in a plate v pivoted in a third standard. The needles are held in groove c<2> in a plate, and are forced into the paper held in crimping-jaws E, F by rods d' carried by the reciprocating driver D, which is operated by a hand-lever J through a link j<2>, a certain amount of lost motion being provided for by a slot j<3> and spring j<1>. The grooves c<2> each hold one needle, which may be separated from the remainder by a plate c‹, Fig. 3, with its upper edge bevelled, or by hook-shaped projections c<4> on bars c<3>, Fig. 5. Divisional pins or plates may be placed between the grooves to prevent displacement of the needles. The transverse movement for effecting the separation of the needles may be obtained from the main lever through a tappet-arm; or the plate c<6> may be reciprocated by a rack l attached to the driver D rotating a pinion l<1> and with it a pin l<2> which works in a slot in the plate. One or both of the crimping-jaws are separable to,allow of the feed of the paper. In the construction shown, the upper member E is carried on arms e<5> secured to a pivoted bar e<4>, and rests on links r, being raised in accord with the motion of the feed-bar P. The cutting- shears G, G', Fig. 1, are carried by the crimping-device, cutting being effected by springs M which act on tails a<2> secured to the bar e<4>. If the sections are to be folded, creasing or folding blades may be combined with the crimping-device. The crimping and cutting devices may be operated by a supplementary lever. In the feed-device shown, a rack on the bar P reciprocated by the lever J is raised into contact with a pinion h<2> on the shaft of the feed-wheel H, a free-wheel arrangement being, if desired, employed so that the feed-wheel is only operated on the return movement of the bar P. To raise the bar P into contact with the pinion, stops p<1>, p<2> on the bar engage arms q', q<2> on which the bar is supported, and pull them over. Cam or eccentric movement may be used in place of the arms q<1>, q<2>. The roll of paper is supported on an arm secured to the base A, Fig. 8, and the paper passes under a guide-plate O, being pressed against the wheel H by a roller o<3> carried by a plate o' secured to the guide O. The guide is supported on a bar o<5> mounted on a standard o<7>, and tension is applied to the paper by a spring o<6>.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Folding Tubular Knitted Fabrics.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: B65H45/103
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 5586. Haddan, R., [S. C. F. Machinery Co.]. March 8. Folding.-A machine for folding tubular knitted fabrics comprises a reciprocating carriage with rollers through which the fabric is passed, a stretcherboard being placed within the fabric to stretch it evenly before being folded. The reciprocating carriage 1, Figs. 1 and 2, carries a pair of rollers 3, between which the fabric is fed downwards. The stretcher - board, being smooth and of light weight, does not jam between the rollers but slides within the fabric and is carried upward therein by the rollers. The rollers 3 are geared together at one end by gear-wheels 40, and at the other end are connected to sprockets 8, Fig. 4, by free-wheel clutches. The sprockets 8 engage chains 38, 39, the ends of which are secured to the framework of the machine. As the carriage and rollers reciprocate, the sprockets 8 are turned by the chains, but, as the clutches are set to operate in different directions of rotation, the clutches are operative alternately, whereby the rollers revolve continuously in one direction. One of the rollers 3 is pivoted to the carriage 1, and the other is pivoted to blocks which are pressed towards the other roller by springs 41. The rollers are thus kept tightly pressed together. The fabric is fed over a roller 36, Fig. 2, through rollers 11, Fig. 1, also carried by the carriage 1, and thence through the rollers 3 to a table 20. The table 20 rests on a frame 53, the corners of which are secured to continuous chains 21, which lower the frame and table automatically step by step as the material is accumulated thereon. The chains gear with gear-wheels 22. The upper gear-wheels 22 are mounted upon two spindles 25, carrying external sprockets 25, geared together by a chain 24. A projection 35 on the carriage engages a dumb-ratchet device 27 as it approaches the end of the frame, and turns the spindle 25 at that end. The spindle 25 at the other end is turned simultaneously by the chain 24. The spindle 25 is provided with a crank 37 for raising the table by hand. The carriage 1 is actuated by link-work 17, 18, 19 driven through suitable gearing, fast and loose pulleys 12 being provided. The machine is fitted with a belt-shifter 32. The machine can be stopped by hand by actuating the belt-shifter by a handle 33. The machine is also stopped automatically when the table 20 reaches a predetermined position, the table operating linkwork which slides the belt-shifter. The table 20 is provided with legs 54 at one end, adapted to support it when drawn partly off the frame 53 for the purpose of removing the work.
