Improvements in Machines for Producing Perforated Designs for
Marking Chalk Patterns on Cloth and other Material.
I, JAMES FRASER, of 60, Ingram Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
North Britain, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in machines for producing perforated
designs for marking chalk patterns on cloth or other material used by mantle
manufacturers, shirt and collar manufacturers, waterproof manufacturers, leather-
bag manufacturers, tailors and other manufacturers.
In carrying my invention into practice I mount on a longitudinal shaft after
the manner of the shaft for operating the needle in sewing machines and which
for brevity I shall call a driving shaft, a crank disc and crank pin or arm, or the
mechanical equivalent of the same. The said crank pin or arm, by means of a
connecting rod, is in communication with a rod or plunger, which works in suitable
guides and is capable of an up and down motion only. The lower end of the rod
or plunger terminates with a punch tool or die to which it is detachably connected.
The throw of the said crank is such as to give the required rise and fall of the tool
or die for producing the punching operation, which is effected by the punch
passing through the cloth into a steel plate provided with a correspondingly shaped
hole. The opposite end of the driving shaft is provided with the usual gear for
driving the mechanism either by hand or power.
In order to produce the intermittent motion for feeding the material under treat-
ment I mount on the said driving shaft a cam, which works between the jaws of
a forked or bifurcated lever and which communicates motion to a horizontal
rocking bar placed beneath and nearly the whole length of the sole plate of the
machine.
The feed plate with its roughened surface is connected by a transverse bar to
a crank or wyper mounted on the opposite end of the said rocking bar. The rocking
or reciprocating motion so produced is imparted to the feed mechanism at the
suitable moment, which is such as to move the material along the length of the hole
or slit required to be punched and the space between it and the adjacent hole and
which may average in length from of an inch to of an inch to suit the various
requirements of patterns.
The feed plate is depressed after the punching is effected by mechanism mounted
on a rocking bar placed between the sole plate at the opposite side of the machine.
The last named rocking bar is controlled by a cam which is actuated by cranks
or their mechanical equivalents mounted on or communicating with levers con-
nected to the driving shaft.
It may sometimes be required to vary the length of the hole or slit to be
punched. To effect this end I may have two or more punch tools fitted on one

page_text: stem by a joint or knuckle either of which may be thrown in and out of gear at
will.

Improvements in Machines for producing Perforated Designs for
Marking Chalk Patterns on Cloth and other Material.
I, JAMES FRASER, of 60, Ingram Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow,
North Britain, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in machines for producing perforated
designs for the purpose of marking chalk patterns on cloth or other material used
by mantle manufacturers shirt and collar manufacturers, waterproof manufacturers,
leather bag manufacturers tailors and other manufacturers.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended 2 sheets of drawings in the figures of which corres-
ponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine embodying my improvements.
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section taken on the line a, b, Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is an end view of Figure 1 drawn partly in section.
Figure 4 is part view shewing material which has been operated upon.
In carrying my invention into practice I mount on a longitudinal shaft, A
after the manner of the shaft for operating the needle in sewing machines and
which for brevity I shall call a driving shaft, a crank disc B and crank pin
or arm, or the mechanical equivalent of the same. The said crank pin or arm C,
by means of a connecting rod D is in communication with a rod or plunger E,
which works in suitable guides I formed in the framework, and is capable of an
up and down motion only. The lower end of the rod or plunger E terminates
with a punch tool or die G to which it is detachably connected. The throw of the
said crank C is such as to give the required rise and fall of the tool or die G for
producing the punching operation, which is effected by the punch passing through
the cloth, not shown, into a steel plate H provided with a correspondingly shaped
hole H. The opposite end of the driving shaft is provided with the usual gear
for driving the mechanism either by hand or power.
In order to produce the intermittent motion for feeding the material under treat-
ment I mount on the said driving shaft A a cam I, which works between the jaws
of a forked or bifurcated lever J and which communicates motion to a horizontal
rocking bar K placed beneath and nearly the whole length of the sole plate of the
machine, as seen more particularly in Figure 2.
The feed plate L with its roughened surface is connected by a transverse bar M
to a crank or wyper N mounted on the opposite end of the said rocking bar, K.
The rocking or reciprocating motion so produced is imparted to the feed mechan-
ism at the suitable moment, which is such as to move the material along the length
of the hole or slit required to be punched and the space between it and the adjacent
hole, and which may average in length from of an inch to of an inch to suit
the various requirements of patterns.
The feed plate L is depressed after the punching is effected by the mechanism O

page_text: mounted on a rocking bar P placed beneath the sole plate at the opposite side of
the machine. The spring m causes the end of bar to press against the roller O'.
The last named rocking bar P is controlled by a cam Q, which is actuated by
the cranks R or their mechanical equivalents mounted on the driving shaft and com-
municating motion to the rocking bar P' by the levers S. An ordinary presser bar
is employed to hold the material in position while being operated upon.
It may sometimes be required to vary the length of the hole or slit to be punched.
To effect this end I may have two or more punch tools fitted on one stem by a
joint or knuckle either of which may be thrown in and out of gear at will.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
In machines for producing perforated designs for the purpose of marking chalk
patterns on cloth and other material, the general arrangement and combination
of the parts all operating, substantially in the manner hereinbefore described and
illustrated on the accompanying sheets of drawings.
Dated this 19th day of February 1898.
