Improvements in Apparatus for Making-up Waterproof Garments
and other Articles.
I, ISIDOR FRANKENBURG, Greengate Rubber Works, Salford, in the County
of Lancaster, Waterproof Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for making up waterproof
garments or other waterproof articles and is designed to facilitate the construc-
tion and working of the machine.
The machine is constructed as before with three rollers a furnishing roller
rotating in the rubber solution a distributing roller rotating in rolling contact
with the first and a presser roller to bring the cloth into contact therewith.
The reservoir or receptacle to hold the rubber solution made to be movable
so that it may be drawn in and out for the purpose of replenishing it or the like
and the furnishing roller is permanently journalled in the sides of the movable
reservoir or receptacle so as to move in and out with it. The shaft or spindle of
the roller projects at one side and is furnished with a pinion wheel by which
the roller is rotated a slot being cut in the frame or casing to allow it to slide in.
A slot may be cut in the end of the receptacle to clear the other roller as it is
drawn in and out. The movable or sliding receptacle is mounted upon or between
slides so that it may be easily drawn in and out and is secured in position by
a screw.
The intermediate or distributing roller is mounted in journals in the frame
or casing above the movable solution receptacle and above the furnishing roller.
The spindle projects at one end through the frame and is furnished with a pinion
to give it the required motion.
A doctor is formed to act upon the periphery and sides of the roller. This
doctor is mounted in slides in the interior of the frame or casing and is fitted
with a screw which projects to the outside and by which the position of the
doctor can be accurately adjusted.
The table is made in the form of a sliding lid or cover to give access to the
interior and the distributing roller projects slightly through a slot cut therein.
A bar is mounted on or above the table behind the presser roller to lift or raise
the cloth and carry it clear of the machine.
A presser roller of small diameter is mounted in a head or bracket over the
top of the machine. The roller is preferably attached to a vertical spindle and
held down when at work by a spiral or other spring a cam and lever or the
equivalent being used to lift it out of contact with the work when not in use.
The rollers are driven by spur gearing preferably five wheels being geared
together at the side of the frame to give the desired movement.

in use.
The presser roller E may be of any suitable form according to the nature of
the seam or joint to be pressed two forms are shown in the drawings. As the
two forms are required to be used frequently to facilitate changing from one to
the other I mcunt two presser rollers E in a frame F capable of being rotated
on a spindle f. The frame F is pivoted to the end of the presser bar e and is held
in position by two hinged flanges f¹ of channel shape which fall down into the
position shown in Fig. 4 embracing the frame Fon both sides. When the
flanges are raised the frame F can be rotated on the spindle f.
The rollers A and D are driven by spur gearing preferably four wheels being.
geared together at side of frame as shown to give the desired movement. Any
other suitable arrangement of gearing may be adopted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In apparatus for making up waterproof garments and other articles the
combination with a furnishing roller rotating in the rubber solution, a dis-
tributing roller working in rolling contact, therewith and a presser roller, of a
movable or sliding receptacle to hold the solution in which the furnishing roller
is journalled, an adjustable doctor acting against the sides and periphery of the
distributing roller controlled by a screw projecting to the outside of the case
and a removable table or lid substantially as described.
2. Apparatus for making up waterproof garments or other articles having the
several parts constructed and arranged in combination substantially as described
and shown.
