MACHINE FOR WINDING FABRICS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID BAIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Passaic, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Winding Fabrics, of which the following is such a full, clear, and exact description as will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

invention relates to machines having a co lapsible support for the board around which the fabric is wound in the form of a bolt, and the principal objects of my present improvements are to provide such a machine to facilitate the ease with which the bolt with its contained board may be removed and to prevent the fabric from being slack on the board when the bolt is removed.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the novel and peculiar arrangements and combinations of the several different parts of the device, all as hereinafter fully set forth and then pointed out in the claims.

I have illustrated a type of my invention in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side view of. a cloth winding machine provided with my improvements with the parts in winding position. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 with the board support detached at one end and collapsed in position for the removal of the bolt and its board. Fig. 3 is an enlarged broadside view of the board support in winding position, and with the heads to which the support is attached shown in section. Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view with several turns of the fabric around the board and the support, the support being shown in Winding position. Fig. 5 is a similar view to Fig. 4, with the board support in Fig. 6 is an enlarged vertical sectional view, the plane of the section being indicated by line 66, in Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a detailed view, showing the pivoted ends of the arms of the support and the head to which the arms are attached, the head being shown in vertical section and the two arms being in collapsed position.

Referring to the drawings, in which like numbers of reference designate like parts throughout, 1 is a suitable frame having upon the outer sides thereof

brackets

2 and 3 respectively. Mounted in opposite sides.

of the frame and the brackets are two axlally alined journals 4 and 5, the former being longitudinally adjustable toward and away from the other journal. The adjustable journal 4 is mounted in a revoluble sleeve 6, which is mounted in suitable bear Patented Sept. 23, 1913.

the sleeve 6 is secured a gear wheel 11- which rotates the sleeve and is in turn driven by a pinion 12 secured upon the drive .shaft 13 which is operated by a pulley 14 and a belt 15. Upon the other end of V the drive shaft 13 is fixed a pinion 14",

similar to the pinion 12. and which in turn drives a gear wheel 16 fixed upon the journal 5 and which serves to drive the journal in unison with the opposite journal 4. Clutches 17 are arranged in operative connection with the drive shaft 13 to throw the

pinions

12 and 14 into and out of engagement with their respective gears.

A T-shaped head 18 is secured to the journal 5 and is formed with a recess 19 in its elongated part and within this recess are pivoted at 20 and 21 respectively the

lugs

22 and 23 on the ends of the

arms

24 and 25 which form the support for the cloth board. These

arms

24 and 25 are arranged in parallelism and in the same plane with their other ends detachabl secured to a head 26 secured to the a justable journal 4. The head 26 is formed with a recess or groove 27 extending across the length thereof, and with

cavities

28 and 29 formed in the bottom of the groove. At the central point of the bottom of the groove 27 is a V-shaped projection 30 with the tapering end thereof pointing upwardly from the bottom of the groove. The free ends of the

arms

24 and 25 are provided with

lugs

31 and 32 respectively. These lugs are adapted toenter the

cavities

28 and 29 respectively in the bottom of the groove, when the head 26 is moved inwardly by the adjustment of the journal 4. At the same time the sides of the groove 27 receive and clamp the adjacent edges of the

arms

24 and 25, as shown in Fig. 3. This makes a firm coupling between these parts when the two arms are arranged in winding position and the journal is rotated. The arms 2st and 25 are readily detached from the head 26 by turning the hand wheel 8 so as to withdraw the screw 7 and the. connectved journal 4. In this longitudinal move ment of the journal l the

lugs

31 and 32 are gradually freed from the cavities in the head and then they may be lowered into the inclined position as shown in Fig. 2. When the bolt of cloth with its board is to be removed from the supporting

arms

24 and 25, the free ends of the arms are detached from the head 26 as described. In order to prevent the too sudden dropping of the free ends of the arms, the tapering projection 30 is provided for receiving the lug 32 on the end of the upper arm which may gradually slide oif of such projection and permit the easy descent of the arms with the bolt of cloth thereon.

It will be noted that the supporting

arms

24 and 25, taper in cross section from their inner edges outwardly tothe outer edge where it is much thinner than at the inner edge. In winding a bolt of cloth on the board 33 which is usually a paper board, the board is placed flatly againstthe sides of the arms after the same have been placed in winding position as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and l. The board is considerably wider than the aggregate width of the two arms, even when the arms are spaced in their winding position. The board is held against the arms and the fabric 3% which is led from a roll 35 is passed around the board and its supporting arms and drawn taut, whereupon the machine is started and the winding of the bolt 36 is effected. The

tension on the fabric being exerted against the opposite long edges of the board acts to warp it likewise the swelled or thickened central portion of the two winding arms, as will be understood more particularly in Figs. 4 and 5. When the winding of the bolt is completed, the journal 4 is drawn outwardly so as to release from the head 26 the

lugs

31 and 32 on the ends of the two supporting arms. When so released the two arms with the bolt and board are gradually dropped down into the posit-ion shown in Figs. 2'and 7 and this movement brings the two adjacent edges of the supporting arms together and reduces to that extent the aggregate width of the two arms, and as the thickened inner edges of the armsare brought together, the amount of space occupied by the arms when spaced being reduced, the arms are not held so tightly in the bolt which together with the board may be drawn 0E endwise. As the bolt leaves the arms, the board springs into straight position and thereby takes up any slack which there may be in consequence of the absence of the two arms. In this way, I obtain a firmly wound bolt of fabric without any slack in the same. After the bolt has been stripped from the arms in their released position, the arms are raised into horizontal position and again attached to the head 26, whereupon another board being applied to the arms, another bolt may be wound thereon.

I wish to be understood as not limiting my invention to the particular construction of the various different parts of the same, as it is evident that modifications may be made in such parts without, however, departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent is;

1. In a machine for winding fabric around a board, the combination of a revoluble support against which the clothboard is placed sidewise and means for retating the said support, the said support having the part at its axis of rotation thicker than the outer edges thereof for engaging and serving to warp or bend the cloth-board when the latter is pressed against the support by the tension of the cloth during the winding and resumes its normal condition when removed from said support, substantially as described.

2. In a machine for winding fabric around a board, the combination of a revoluble support against which the cloth-board is placed sidewise and means for rotating the. said support, the said support consisting in a pair of suitably spaced parallel pivoted arms havin the part at its inner edge thicker than the outer edge for engaging the cloth-board and acting to warp it when pressed against said arms, whereby the cloth-board is bent or 'warped during the winding and resumes its normal condition when removed from said supportingarms, substantially as described.
