Snecication of Letters luratent;

To all whomz' may concern: r

Be it knownthat I, RALPH SOHEUER, a citizen of the United States residing at New 'York' city, county and tate of New York, have invented 'aynew and Improved Coloring-Machine for Apertures in Belts and Similar Articles, of which the follow.l

ing is a specification.

This invention relates to a machine of novel construction which will rapidlyand neatly `color the walls lof apertures made 1n apparel belts and similar articles.

After an apparel belt has been punched for -t-he purpose of formingthe tonguefreceiving apertures, it becomes frequently necessary to color the inner faces ofsaidy apertures, so that such faces harmonize with the general appearance of the belt. This coloring operation has been heretofore generally performed .by hand, which involved a considerable loss of time, and required .great accuracy. By myinvention, the colorlno- 1s performed in an automatic nianner, so that time is saved and accuracy is insured.

ln the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a side view of the main part of a coloring machine embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a front elevation partly in section thereof; Fig. 3 a horizontal section on line 3 3, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a longitudinal section through a -modification of one of the punches.

The machineframe 10 is provided with tubular --guides 11 in which vreciprocates a plunger 12, operated by a lever 13 and treadle (not shown) or in other suitable manner. Plunger 12 carries a plate or cross head 14 from which depends a row of punches 15 and a parallel row of alined coloring implements. Each of these implements comprises essentially a rod 16 over the lower end of which is drawn a stocking` or covering 17 of felt or similar saturable material. This stockingvis removably secured to the rod by a coupling 18, so that it can be readily replaced when worn. 4At the top, rod 16 is provided with a funnel 19 from which there extendsAv downward a-n axial bore 20, opening into a lower cross duct 21 that terminates opposite the inner face of the stocln'ng. Rods 16 are rotata-` bly fitted into cross head 14, and carry pinions 22 engaged by a rack 23 which 1s uided on the cross head. The rack is inuenced by a sprin 24 and is provided atv one endvwith a rol er 25 engaging an -inclined xed guide 26. Thus when cross head 14' descends,the rods will be simultaneously turned 1n one direction by the engagement of roller 25 of rack V23 withV guide 26, while when lthe cross head ascends,vthe rods will o b e turned in the other direction by the'actlon of sprlng 24 upon the rack, as will be readily understood.

. Above the row of rods16, there is secured to the machine frame, a'fixed magazine 27 adapted to'contain a suitable dye orthin coloring solution. vFrom the bottom of this magazine, K' extend upwardly a number of tubular guides 28, which are axially -alined with rods 16 and have lower liquid egress ports .29 thatx open into the guides. Within each guide Patented May 2o, 1913.

' 28 is free to move a valve 30 which is'adapted to be openedl or closed by the reciprocative vmovement of cross head 14. To this effect valve 30 is provided with an axial duct 31 extending through the lower secT tion thereof and which communicates at its -top with across duct 32 and at its bottom with a number of lateral discharge orifices 33. The upper end of valve 30 is encircled .by a coiled spring 34 bearing with one end l' lagainst a fixed bar '35 and with the other end against a collar `36 of the valve, so that in this way the valve is held in yielding 'contact with the funnel 19 of rod 16.

It will be seen that as rods 16 are reeiprocated through cross head 14, a play will be4 imparted to the valves 30, which play is de- 1 fined by the engagement of collars 36 with .Below cross head 14, therejs provided a fixed support 37 upon which the stack of belts 38 to be punched and colored is vsup-I ported. This stack may be placed either b'elow the row of punches 15, or it may be shifted below the row ofcoloring rods 16, -to which effect a rail 39 and gage 40 are provided.)l To rall 39 may be secured a spider or finger 41 adapted to hold the belts down u'pon their seats.

In use, the belts are first placed below the punches, so as to become apertured and are action of the coloring implements.

then shifted -sdewise to be subjected to the As the latter are arranged directly opposite the punches, each aperture unched, will receive one of the revolving coloring rods which will by means of its stocking neatly and. accurately paint the inner wall thereof.

With the construction shown in Fig. 4, the punch 43 is, made integral with the coloring rod 16 andv rojects beneath the lower end of stocking l so that in this way one and the same tool will first'form the aperture and then color the wall thereof. This construction however can only be applied wit-h advantage to the punching and coloring of apertures of a comparatively large size.

I claim:

-1.l A machine of the character described, comprising a vertically reciprocable rod having a liquid duct, a saturable stocking removably fitted on the lower portion of said rod, means for securing the upper end of the stocking to the rod, means for supplying a coloring liquid to said duct, a pinion secured to the rod, a rack engaging said pinion and participating in the vertical reciprocation of the rod, and an inclined fixed guide for horizontally shift-ing said rack.'

2.' A machine of the character described, comprising a vertically reciprocable rod having a liquid duct, a saturable stocking removably fitted on the lower portion of said rod, means for securing the upper end of the stocking to the rod, means for supplying a coloringliquid to said duct, a pinion secured to therod, a spring-influenced rack engaging said pinion and participating in the vertical reci rocation of the rod, a roller on said rack, an an inclined fixed guide engaged bys'aid roller.

3. A machine of the character described, comprising a vertically reciprocable rod having an upper funnel and a liquid duct, a satura'ble stocking removably -fitted on the lower portion of said rod, means for securing the upper end of the stocking to the rod, a stationary liquid magazine above said rodand funnel, a valve within the magazine and extending downwardly through the bottom thereof, a spring for holding said valve in operative engagement with the funnel, and

means for limiting the descent of the valve. 4. A machine of the character described, comprising a vertically reciprocable plunger, a cross head carried thereby,ia row of' coloring implements depending from the cross head, funnels formed at the upper ends of said rods, saturable stockingsremovably fitted-over the lower portions of the rods, a stationary liquid magazine above the funnels, spring-influenced valves extending downwardly through the bottom of the magazine into engagement with the funnels,

and means for limiting the descent of said valves.
