Improvements in Machines for Rubbing and Rolling or Twisting Wool
and other Fibres Preparatory to their Manufacture into Fringes
and the like.
I, FRITZ MÄDGER, of Hof, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and Empire of Ger-
many, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to improvements in appliances or machines for rubbing
and rolling or twisting wool and other fibres preparatory to their manufacture
into fringes and the like. The machine is simple in construction and efficient
in its action and in order to describe the nature and object of the invention
reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side
elevation of the improved machine and Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.
According to this invention the movable bars 2 and 3 are arranged in and
carried by the standard 1 and carry on their inner sides the stocks 4 and 5 pre-
ferably roughened on their faces. The said bars 2, 3 are moved together by a
lever 6 which raises and lowers the bar 2 by means of a chain 7 and lowers or
raises the other bar 3 by means of the guide bars 8 arranged on each side of
the standards 1 and operated by the arm 6 of said lever. The bar 2 is
mounted on brackets 9 suspended from the chain 7 by rollers 9. The bar 3
rests upon the rollers 10 the shafts 10 of which slide in slots in the standards 1
and rest on the inclined blocks 8ª of the bara 8.
The rolling or rubbing and twisting movement of the bars 2 and 3 is caused
by the toothed wheel 11 engaging with the wheel 12, the latter bearing on its
inner side two pins 13 and 14 extending through the connecting links 15 and 16
of the bars 2 and 3.

Improvements in Machines for Rubbing and Rolling or Twisting Wool
and other Fibres Preparatory to their Manufacture into Fringes
and the like.
I, FRITZ MÄDGER, of Hof, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and Empire of Ger-
many, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
TD 077

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in appliances or machines for rubbing
and rolling or twisting and thereby curling loose wool and other fibres pre-
paratory to their manufacture into fringes and the like by any ordinary pro-
cess. The loose and approximately straight wool or fibre is by the rubbing
action rendered curly, and so remains in the finished rings. The machine is
simple in construction and efficient in its action and consists of moveable bars
carrying the stocks for rubbing and rolling the fibre, such bars and stocks being
simultaneously opened or closed by means of one lever. The stocks are pre-
ferably roughened on their faces in order to effectually deal with the fibre
without damaging it.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which:
-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of .the improved machine.
Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.
According to this invention the moveable bars 2 and 3 are arranged in and
carried by the standards 1 and carry on their inner sides the stocks 4 and 5. pre-
ferably roughened on their faces. The said bars 2, 3 are moved together by a
lever 6 which raises and lowers the bar 2 by means of a chain 7 and lowers or
raises the other bar 3 by means of the guide bar's 8 arranged on each side of
the standards 1 and operated by the arm 6 of said lever. The bar 2 is
mounted on brackets 9 suspended from the chain 7 by rollers 9*. The bar 3
rests upon the rollers 10 the shafts 10 of which slide in slots in the standards 1
and rest on the inclined blocks 8 of the bars 8.
The rolling or rubbing and twisting movement of the bars 2 and 3, is caused
by the toothed wheel 11 engaging with the wheel 12, the latter bearing on its
inner side two pins 13 and 14 extending through the connecting links 15 and 16
of the bars 2 and 3. The wheel 11 is driven by power or by means of the hand
wheel 17.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what inanner. the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
(1) The improved appliance as and for the purpose herein described and
substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
(2) The moveable bar's 2, 3 carrying the stocks 4, 5 to which a rubbing or
to and fro endwise motion is imparted by means of the pins 13, 14 in the
wheel 12 engaging with the links 15, 16 of the bars 2, 3 all in combination
as and for the purpose herein described and substantially as illustrated by the
annexed' drawings.
