EDWARD ROE 4 Rue Founainetis Calais Sud Republic of France and GEORGE KENT
of the same place Lace Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
:-
This invention has referance to the punching and repeting Machine its mechanical
combination and the use of specail means by the work is effected with great precision
the cards to be punch whilst subjected to the action of a punch or punchers be
presented theareto with the horizontal and in the direction desiered and with Capabitily
of vareations at will according to the punching dersird to be produced.
Our Machine consist of strong Casting with beareing at the head wich carrys the
main shaft and fitted on same shaft theare is a eccentric that gives motion to a Slideing
head that work backward and forwards and to carry one half of a punch plate wich
can be ajusted and taken off and others punch plates ajusted to the same when the
division of the card is required to be altered.
And in front of the slideing head theare is fitted into a strong cast Iron Box and
the other Half of the punch plate is fitted in it. And this half of the punch plate
carrey the punchers and can be work with all the punchers or has maney that is
required, compleat or otherwise. Each punch is connected at the back with a wire rod
and spring's so that the punchers is held back to a given stop, and the end of the wire
goes into a plate devieded to correspond with the punch plate And the front End of
the punch at a certain distance from the end a neck is formed and on the face of the
plate that carry's the punchers we fit a duplicate wich is perced to correspond with
the punch plate and as a movement up and down motion wich is given from cam
shaft, so that when the punchers is pressed forward the slide or trap fall into the next
of the Punch or Punchers and is held fast till the slideing head comes forward with the
card placed upon it and the eccentric presser the card over the punchers.
At a certain distance at the
We now discribe the manner the punchers is work.
back of the box that carry's the punchers and plate, a slide works backward & forward
and on this slide thear is frame that carrey's Three Roller's and plate divied. To
correspond with the plate that carrys the end of the wires from punchers, on the larg
Roller we pas the figure sheet and the two small roller wich is covered with India rubber

page_text: is worked by a racking lever work from cam shaft and by racking theas two Rollers
that touches each other, draws the paper from the large roller over the plate that
correspond with ends of wires so ware the paper is pricked out the wire go thro.
and the punch stop back, and ware the blanck is by the movement of the slide going
forward pusher the wires forward and the trap or slide abover mention Hold the
punchers that comes for to punch the card, and this is repeted Each movement and
we punch the wole at wonce ware in all other Punching but one row of Holes. And
to repet an old patten, we take the roller out and places a Clynder so the Old Card's
acts has the figuer sheet and the Puncher Work the same.
Haveing now particularly and ascertained the nature of our said Invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed we declare That we do not claim separably
all the various parts heareinbefore discribed but what we do claim is
1°. The slide working on the serface of the punch plate.
20. The form of the punch.
30. Useinge a Perferated figuer sheet.
4°. The arngement of Punch plate Working together.
EDWARD ROE Mechanic Rue Fountainetts, Calais Sud, France & GEORGE KENT
of the same place Lace Manufacturer, 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 statement :-
-
This invention has referance to the punching and repeating machine its mechanical
combination and the use of specail means by which the work is effected with great
precision, the cards to be punched when subjected to the action of a punch, or punchers
be presented thereto with the Horizantal and the direction desired and with capability
of Variations at will according to the punching desired to be produced.
Our Machine consists of a strong Casting with bearings at the head, which carry
the main shaft, and fitted on same shaft there is an eccentric that gives motion to a
Sliding head that works backwards and forwards, and carries one half of a punch
plate which can be ajusted, and taken off and other punch plates ajusted to the same
when the division of the cards is required to be altered. And in front of the sliding
head there is fitted into a strong cast Iron box the other half of the punch plate, and
this half of the punch plate carries the punchers and can be worked with all the

page_text: punchers, or as many as are required, complete or otherwise. Each punch is
connected at the back with a wire rod and springs so that the punchers are held back
to a given stop and the end of the wires go into a plate divided to correspond with the
punch plate and at the front end of the punch at a certain distance from the end, a
groove is formed, and on the face of the plate that carries the punchers we fit
duplicate which is made to correspond with the punch plate, and has a movement up
and down which is given from cam on the cam shaft so that when the punchers are
pressed forward the slide or trap falls into the Groove of the punch or punchers, and
is held fast till the sliding head comes forward with the the card placed upon it, and
the eccentric presses the card over the punchers.
We now discribe the manner the punchers are worked. At certain distance at the
back of the box that carries the punchers, and plate, there is a plate divided to
correspond with the punch plate and the end of wires go through all equal lengths and
pass through a sley facing a cylinder which carries a pricked paper sheet, and where
the sheet is pricked the punchers stop at stop, but where blanck is left by the Cylinder
coming forward pushes the needle or wires which presses the punch or punchers
forward, and which is held fast, by the slide or trap till the card is punched and the
movement of the slide going up the punchiers, all go back to the stop, so that each
motion the Cylinder turning one square, it punches one card, and this is repeated till
the pattern is finished.
We now describe manner how the repeating is performed we take the plate from
the casting which carries the Cylinder and sley, we place another bed in its place
which works contary to the punching of new pattern by placing the Old card on the
cylinder that acts the same as the perforated sheet of paper.

Sheet 2. Fig. 1. Elevation of Machine prepared for repeating, we take the bed
plate 28 off and replace it with another which Causes the movement of the punchers
to act reversed. 10 is the punchers forced to stop by the springs 11, which are drawn
back by the cylinder 16. When the cylinder moves to the machine with the old
cards upon it and presses needles 15 inwards, and gives motion to the lever 14,
which draws what punchers, back that are required, and the machine works just the
same as when it is punching from the perforated sheet of paper.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that we do not Claim
separately all the various parts hereinbefore described, but what we do claim is
1°. The form of the punchers.
