"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY
FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ROUND WROUGHT CHENILLE."
The Figure No. 1 is a plain prospect of the machine's head; the Figure No. 2
shows more largely the mobilised organs particulars, viz., rollers, guides, connecting-
rods, etc. The machine constructed as the ordinary chenille machine is put in
motion by the crank a, who gives the motion first to the fly for the trans-
mission by the small fly's strings b of the spindles fixed on the little wagon, and of
all the rapid organs, and then by the pinion c fixed on the shaft & engages with
the wheel B, whose axle-tree is bearing the rollers D, which are sustaining the
wired calibres f, f. These last are kept stretched by others rollers E fixed behind
the head A of the machine. On the head's building A are fixed the volettes'
support F with bobbins' support g, whose bobbins are stated by stretching
plumes. The threads of these bobbins become the soul of the twin chenilles, and
go inside the axle-tree of the volettes b, and pursue their way as marked on
Drawings, blue ink. The threads of bobbins g go outside. Behind the volettes b
is placed the immobile knife's support H, which is described. On the support h of
the knife's support is fixed a metal plate i (see Figure 2), on which are horizontally
joined the two galets' support I, I, each fixed behind by a stalk screwed under
the plate i. The galets J, J, are free on their axle. The fore part of the galets'
support I, I, is finished by a crosier with an eye, in which passes a little stalk k
with a screw for pressing and a spring for pressure. This stalk trims the two
galets I, I, and makes them dependant the one from the other. A little behind the
eye one of the galets' support is finished with a tipper, in which passes the
triangle 1, by which the right system is bound with the left. On the middle of
this triangle is fixed a socket L finished by a jointed slide at a little connecting-
rod m jointed itself at a lever M with a pivot at n beside the head's building.
The connecting-rod m is always drawn from the opposite side by an elastic spring N
fixed at the building by its other extremity. The lever M is finished at the fore-
extremity by a galet o, which is always pressing against the embossing of the
carne-roller P fixed on the crank's tree of one side of the building. The consequence

successively and laterally move forward and backward the lever M, gives the same
motion, but with less amptitude at the connecting-rod m and following at the
triangle, which leads directly in its lateral motion the galets' support I, I, and the
galets J, J. Behind the galets J, J, and the galets' support I, I, are put with a tail
and fixed by a screw two slippering p, p, sustaining two little stalks g with oblong
section, and against which press the two calibres f. f. In consequence the lateral
motion of galets' support I, I, is leads the motion of the stalk g, and follows the
lateral motion of the calibres f, f, and consequently that of the galets J, J, by
which manner the chenille is always pressed in the throat of the galets, pending
that the immobile knife is cutting the silk of recovery before the torsion. It is
easy to understand that this lateral motion of the calibres & galets on the
immobile knife gives at the carving an equal breadth on the two calibres, or an
augmenteion on right side on prejudice of the left one, and reciprocally, by which
manner the chenille made by this system offers successively any undulations and
forms, which may be of unlimited variety, following the carne-rollers which are
used: To have new forms of chenille it is sufficient to alter only the carne-roller;
all the other organs must not be altered. The little wagon giving tension and
stretching the chenille is the same as in the ordinary machines.
The greater or less rapidity of the little wagon can also give to the chenille
several various forms.
