mnovnm nnr m APPARATUS FOR mama SHINGLES AND o'mnn An'ricnssm -mou'ms.

The Schedule referred to in these'Letters Patent and making ofthe same.

To all whom may concern:

I, CALEB BATES, of Kingston, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented acerfain'new and useful Ilnmersing Devil-e. of which the following is a specification.

Mature and Object of the Invention.

; The nature of my, invention consists incombining. a chain belt of a peculiar construction with an immersing-tauk and a heating and dyeing device,the

object being to provide an automatic device for im-.

mersing in some desirable fluid or otherprescrving' substance, and afterward drying, small articles.

Eigurc 3 is aperspective view of one of the links of the cam'yingmhain.

General Descrip tion."

I construct my machine as follows B represents the heating-furnace, over which the tank N is located.

be sprocketed, as shown at E, fig. 2, The carrying-chain is made of 1inks,b'eing connected by a metal 'plate, P. P P, bent as shown in fig. 3, so

as to'serfe to hold the links together, and thus complate the chain, and alsoas a clasp to hold tbe article to'be immersed. l v

The clasping device consists of the part B, acting in combination with the link 0. the plate I? being somewhat elastic, and arranged as shown, so that, as

away from the link 0, but as they pass down toward the roller D, the parts P and 0 close together, and thus seize anything that may be placed between them,

and remain closed until they hav'e passed through the ank Ntaud over. the hot. metal pl te M .M, ut are opened as they pass over the roller E, so'that the article being acted upon may be pushed out by the side pieces-R and RQbet-weenwhich the chain-belt passes. H

' G represents it tankfor keeping the supply of the liquid to he used.

The operation of my invention is as follows:

' If we suppose the article to be immersed to be small billets of wood, shingle, for instance, the operator stands near the wheel E, the chain being set-in motion, and places one of the articles sotbat it will beclasped by the clasping device, as it passesover the wheel E. K, fig. 1', represents an' articieso placed.

The belt will now carry the article so. placed down intotho tank N, where it will be thoroughly. immersed in the liquid or other preserving or embellishing material hot metal plate M M,-and thus dried, afier which it will pass over the wheelE', and drop.

I-clainia's my invention-- 1. In an immersing device, the carrying-chain F E,

substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

2. In the can-yiugchain, the extension I" of the connecting-plate, in combination with the link 0, :to form a griping device,substautially as described and for the purpose set forth. CALEB BATES.
