PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tufting Apparatus.
I, OSCAR EHRENFRIED WOLLERT, of Stockholm, Sweden, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tufting apparatus consisting of two
holders or bars rendered longitudinally movable upon each other, one having. a
needle and the other a spring which when reciprocated form-the wool loops.
The object of this invention is to render the said apparatus more reliable in
action and easy to manipulate.

Fig. 2 are side views of the holders or bars detached from each other."
Figs. 3 & 4 are respectively a front and a side view of a modification of the said
apparatus.

usual means for connecting and guiding the holders or bars c, c', I form the same
internally with grooves d and on the opposite sides with pivots e or pins, adapted to
engage in the said grooves, which effectually prevent the holders or bars c, c', from
moving laterally. The needle is bent in or about its middle and fitted into a
slot m formed in the end of the respective holder or bar, the front part of the said..
needle projecting through the slotted lower end and the back part fitting against
the side of the holder or bar c' behind the slot m. The back end of the needle f
is formed with a slot y adapted to receive a screw h by means of which it is secured
to the holder or bar c adjustably.
The attachment of the spring to the holder or bar c is effected in the
same way.
In order to keep the spring i in position upon the needle the respective part
of the latter is formed with a channel k which receives the spring
i.
In lieu of the groove d and pins e in the holders or bars.c, c', the latter may be
held together and guided by means of sleeves n, n', one formed at the top of one
and one at the bottom of the other holder or bar, as shown in Figs. 3 & 4.

1, OSCAR EHRENFRIED WOLLERT, of Banérgatun 5, Stockholm, Sweden, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
10 statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in tufting apparatus consisting of two

needle and the other a spring which when reciprocated form the wool loops.
The object of this invention is to render the said apparatus more reliable in
action and easy to manipulate.
In the drawings filed with the Provisional Specification
Fig. 1 is a front view partly in section of my improved apparatus complete.
Fig. 2 are side views of the holders detached from each other.
Figs. 3 & 4 are respectively a front and a side view of a modification of the said
apparatus.
To this end in lieu of employing wing shaped handles as heretofore I use oval or
cylindrical handles adapted to turn on pivots a on the holders or bars c, c¹,
whereby the manipulation of the apparatus is greatly facilitated. Besides the
usual means for connecting and guiding the holders or bars c, c¹, I form the same
internally with grooves d and on the opposite sides with pivots e or pins adapted to
engage in the said grooves, which effectually prevent the holders or bars c, c', from
moving laterally. The needle is bent in or about its middle and fitted into a
slot m formed in the end of the respective holder or bar, the front part of the said
needle projecting through the slotted lower end and the back part fitting against
the side of the holder or bar c' behind the slot m. The back end of the needle f
is formed with a slot g adapted to receive a screw by means of which it is secured
to the holder or bar c adjustably.
The attachment of the spring i to the holder or bar c is effected in the
same way.
In order to keep the spring i in position upon the needle of the respective part of
the latter is formed with a channel k which receives the spring i.
In lieu of the groove d and pins e in the holders or bars c, c', the latter
may be held together and guided by means of sleeves n, n', one formed at the
top of one and one at the bottom of the other holder or bar, as shown in
Figs. 3 & 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is-
"In a tufting apparatus of the kind herein before specified
"
1st. The use of oval or cylindrical handles 6 adapted to turn on pivots a on the
holders or bars c, c', all substantially as set forth.
2nd. The grooves d in the holders or bars c, c¹, and in connection with pivots or
pins e on the inner sides thereof adapted to engage the said grooves, all substantially
as set forth.
3rd. The needle fand its spring i bent and guided in the holder or bar slot m, all
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
4th. The channel like cavity k in the underside of the needle adapted to receive
the spring i, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 19th day of December 1894.
