WTTED STATE PATENT @FFT@E.
HENRY DOLLER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
HAIR-COMBING MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY DOLLER, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Combing Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in hair combing machines, the object of the invention being to provide a rotary member carrying a circular series of blocks, and said blocks provided with teeth which cooperate with fixed teeth to comb hair or other material which may be fed thereto.
A further object is to provide improved mounting for the blocks, whereby they may be reversed, and provide on opposite faces of the blocks, teeth varying in number or size so as to change the combing operation in accordance with the material being combed.
A further object is to provide an improved machine of this character which will most effectually feed the hair to the rotary member, exerting a uniform pressure on the hair as it is fed, regardless of the thickness of the hair, and provide improved means for adjusting the pressure upon the hair as it passes between corrugated feeding rolls.
A further object is to provide an improved machine of this character which may be easily cleaned, and which will most effectually perform the functions for which it is intended.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists incertain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation showing part of the driving gear and its casing broken away to illustrate the structure behind the same. Fig. 2 is a view in vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a view in vertical transverse section. Fig. 4 is a view on an enlarged scale in longitudinal section of one of the blocks illustrating its mounting, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating the feeding apron driving means.
1 represents a frame which may be sup ported upon a suitable base 2 or may be secured directly to the floor or other suitable support. This frame is provided on its up- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 10, 1912.
Patented Nov. 12, 1912.
Serial No. 702,845.
per center portion with bearings 3 for the reception of a shaft 4 in which my improved rotary member 5 is secured. This rotary member comprises a central hub 6 fixed to the shaft 4, and connected by radial spokes 7 with parallel rings 8. These rings are connected by transverse bars 9 spaced apart, and between these bars 9 my improved blocks 10 are supported as will be hereinafter described.
The upper portion of the rotary member 5 turns within a casing 11. The sides of this casing 11 are closed preferably by wire netting 12, while the top of the casing is formed by-a fixed plate 13 positioned eccentrically to the rotary member, and by a hinged cover 14. This cover 14 is connected by a spring 15 withtheplate 13, and the pivot point of the hinged cover is in such a position that the spring will serve to hold the same either in its open or closed position. The cover is normally swung upward, but when the machine is not in use, it is closed to keep out dirt and dust. In Figs. 1 and 2 the cover is shown in an intermediate position, but normally it is either wide open or closed tight.
The plate 13 is provided with openings 16 for the reception of blocks 17 and 18. These blocks 17 and 18 are secured in place by screws 19, and contain downwardly projecting teeth 20. These blocks are interchangeable so that various sizes of teeth may be secured to the fixed plate 13.
The blocks 10 of the rotary member are all alike and they are provided on both faces with teeth 21. On one side fewer teeth are provided than on the other, and the sizes and number of these teeth may be varied to suit various conditions. Each block 10 is provided at its ends with trunnions 22 and 23 respectively, the latter having an angular end 24 to receive a key 25 to turn the same. On the end of block 10, carryingtrunnion 24, two pins 26 are provided, and are forced into sockets 27 in one ring 8 by means of the coiled spring 28 on the other trunnion 22. hen it is desired to reverse the blocks, it is necessary to insert the key 25 on the trunnion 24, then force the block 10 longitudinally until the pins 26 are released from the sockets 27, when the block may be given a half turn and the pins 26 will be forced back into the sockets 27 by the coiled springs 28..
The teeth 21 on the blocks 10 cooperate pelling them to turn in opposite directions.
The lower feeding roll 30 is secured to a shaft 31 mounted in suitable bearings on frame 1, and to which a relatively large driving gear 32 is fixed. This driving gear may be operated in various ways, a crank handle 33 being shown for the purpose and" drives an idler 3 1 which is in mesh with a pinion 35 fixed to shaft 4c to revolve the rotary member 5. This train of gearing is protected by a casing 36 which is secured to frame 1. The upper feed roll 29 is secured upon a shaft 37 mounted in arms 38. These arms 38 are pivotally connected to brackets 39 on frame 1, and through said arms the upright ends of a wire frame 40 are projected. These upright ends are also extended through frame 1, have coiled springs 41 thereon below the frame, and'have wing nuts 42 thereon above the arms 38. These upwardly projecting ends of the frame 10 are of course screw-threaded to receive the wing nuts, and by screwing the nuts down upon the arms 38, the tension of the springs 11 may be varied in accordance with the character of the hair or other material being fed.
An endless feeding apron 413 is mounted upon rollers 4A and 45 respectively supported in bearings on frame 1, and located between vertical walls 46 to guide the material. The roller 45 is provided on one of its supporting trunnions 47 with a sprocket wheel 48, and this sprocket wheel 48 is connected by a chain 19 with a sprocket wheel 50 on shaft 31.
When the driving gear 38 is turned, it will compel the lower feeding roll 30, apron 45, and rotary member 5 to move. The speed of the rotary member is very much increased over that of the feeding roll and feeding apron, so that the hair which is fed between the feeding rolls is snatched away by the teeth of the rotary member and combed through the fixed teeth, and forced out of the opposite end of the machine thoroughly combed.
A hinged shutter 51 is connected to plate 13, and is provided with a tongue 52 which engages the end of the plate 13, limiting the downward movement of the shutter. This shutter prevents the hair from being blown backward, yet allows the upper feed roll 29 to raise and lower in accordance with the thickness of the material passing between the feeding rolls.
When it is desired to change the combing action, the several blocks 10 may be turned as above described, and other plates 17 and 18 may be substituted for those on the machine, so that any style of combing may be had.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described by invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A combing machine, comprising a rotary member, a circular series of blocks, each block having rotary mounting in the rotary member, each block having teeth on opposite faces, means for securing the blocks against rotary movement in the rotary frame, whereby either of said sets of teeth are positioned outwardly, and fixed teeth' cooperating with the teeth on the blocks, substantially as described.
