SAMUEL KINGAN, OF NEW YORK, N. .Y., ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE E OF JAMES ANDERSON, DECEASED.

Letters Patent No. 101,473, dated Aprilfi, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PELTED FABRICS FOR ROOI'IFG, 8w.

The Schedule referred to In those Letters Patent ,and making part of the same To all whom it may concern Be it known that J AMES Annnnson, deceased, late of Ballymaacarret, county of Donn, Ireland, did, during his lifetime, invent a new and improved Machine for Preparing Belted Fabrics for Sheathing, Roofing, and other purposes; and I, SAMUEL KINGAN, of the city, county, and State of New York, administrator of the estate of the said JAMES Asnnnsox, deceased, do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makcand use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying dmwingsforming part of this spec iiication.

This invention relates to improvements in machinery for the manufacture of sheathing and roofingfelt, by coating the same with a preparation of the native mineral pitch, asphaltum, purified, and softened and tempered according to a process described in an application for a patent filed by us, and bearing even date herewith, also, by mixing with the said preparation sand, chalk, or other substance to color the same, and to prevent the adherence of other substances.

The said improved machine is also applicable for coating the said felted materials with other similar mixtures.

Figure 1 represeutsa longitudinal sectional elevation of the said improved machine, and

Figure 2 represents a. plan view of the same.

Similar lettersof reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents a trough for containing the pitch. It is mounted on any suitable framing, abovea large roller, B, and provided with a narrow longitudinal opening, 0, at the bottom, above which is a steam heating-pipe, D, having a supply-pipe, E, leading from the boiler, and a discharge-pipe, h. i It is' capable of oscillation on its supports, and is provided with an adjusting-screw, G, supported in a stud, H, rising up from the frame, and screwing through a stud, I, on.

the said trough.

By this means the mouth of the trough'may be moved to or away from the highest part of the roller, wherebytbedelivering will be varied.

' K represents agate for the bottom of the trough,

arranged -to slide in and out, for opening and closiwhich is a sand-trough, ii and-inclined chute V,

leading down to the table near to the roller anil hopper A.

At the end of the table '1 is a pair of feeding and condensingrollers, \V,,the upper one of which' is 7 weighted.

Beyond these is another table, X, andat the oppo: site end thereof a pair oflargcr condensing-rollers, Y, the upper one being also weighted.

Z represents the sheet of felt, which, being fed along to the roller B from any suitable feeding apparatus or from the felting apparatus, and, passing under the trough, it secures a coating of the substance cdntained in it, and, passing along, receives the sand, chalk, shores, or other substance from the trough V. the same ispresscd into'the coating substance and condensed as it is drawn along through the rollers W and and delivered from the machine. I The said rollers may have any-desired compressing force by means of weights applied to the lovers W The trough V is provided with a discharging-roller, V, at the bottom, for agitating and discharging the sand regularly.

The roller B is driven by a spur-wheel, a, pinion 0,, main driving-shaft d, and belt-wheel, c, and the roller )V by a whirl, f, on the driving-sl1aft-,.au intermediate whirl, g, and pinion h on the lower roller.

The two rollers are geared together by. toothed wheels at the opposite ends.

- The sand-roller is provided with a belt-wheel, i, which may be operated by a belt from a pulley on any's'uitable moving shaft.

The rollers y are driven from a driving-shaft, h, by

gear-wheels Z in, and they are alsp geared together at the ends opposite the driving-gears, and other. preferred arrangementof the driving-gears may be used.

Having thus described the invention,

-What I claim as new, and desire to'secure by Lettors Patent, is

1. The combination of the adjustable trough A, roller B, and hopper and chute, the feeding and condensing-rollers, and the tables, all substantially as specified.

' 2. The combination with the trough Act the steam heating-pipes, gate, and gate-operating devices, su stantially as specified.

The above" specification of the invention of JAMES Annnnson, deceased, signed by me this 25th day of February, 1870.

SAMUEL KINGAN,

Administrator of Estate of flames Anderson, Decca-sell.
