'1 '0 all whoma't may concern Be it known that I, AUBREY C. HARRY, a citizen of the United states residing at Portsmouth, in the county of Sciot-o and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvemehts in Portable Wall-Paper Hangers, of which the following is a specifieation.

The invention relates to wall paperlng machines and more particularly to the Class of portable paper hanging inachines.

'The primary object 'of the invention is the provision of 'a machine of this character wherein the eeilingfa'nd walls of a room can provision of a paper ha'ng'ing' machine wherein the paste roller is fed with paste in a novel manner so as to assure the required coating of one face of the Wall. paper st'rip prior to the hanging of the same to a wall or ceiling. f

A still further objeet of the'inve'ntion is the provision of 'apaper hanging machine i'vherein the paper will'be applied to 'a wall or ceiling in a smooth and even-manner, and also which will enable the proper nlatch in of the st'rips wh'en being applied thereto. A still further object of the invention is the provision of a machine of this Character which is extremely simplejin'eonstruetion, thoroughly reliable 'nnd efficient in its operation, strong, light in weight, and also whicli'may be manufactured at a'minirh'um expense.

intention eonsists in the eonstrt ctibn, coinbination and arrangement of partsas will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the :acco iipanying drawing, andpointed out iil theelaiins hereunto appended.

Referring to the drawings by numerals,

the machine comprises a frame including upa wardly arched side sections 10 and 'ani pper or top eross connecting bar or brace I1, the side sections being formed in their upper edges with sockets 12 in which a'rereceived the ends of the limbs 13 of av forked handle 14', the latter'being designed for the convenient manipulation'of the frame to move the same over a ceiling or wall. Arranged be tween the side sections 10 of the f'r-a'me at the forward or front end thereof is a presser and smoothing roller 15, the journal ends 16 each engaged in a hearing 17 slid'ably 9 mounted in a guideway 18 formed in the inner side of eachv side section 10. Ar-

coiled hompress'ion spring 19 which. acts up n the bearing 17 so as to hold the roller 15 normally projected beyond. the lower edge of the side sections 10 of the franle, yet the said roller 17 lsfree to be reranged within each guid'eway 18 is traeted from the said pbsitionunder the ten? sion of the springs 19 to act upon the wall paper for smoothing and applj 'ing th'e same to l c ili ig or Walls in a manner hereinafter deso'ri ed; V

.Passed through the side seotions,.l() for inte'rsecting the sockets 12 to engage the elids of the limbs 13 ofthe handlelt IS a removable ,pin which detaeliablyfastens the handle to the fralne, the handle being reloop shaped feed tube 22, the same being ,ex-

tended rearwardlj of the tank and has fornihd in'lts medial portion 23 a delivery moved when the machine is to be carried slot 24 in which is arranged a paste applying roll 25, the journal ends 26 of 'which being journaled in the side stretches or p0rlions of the feed pipe 22, and this roller 25 receives paste from the feed pipe 22 and applies it to the wall paper when fed through the machine in amanner presently described.

Journaled rearwardly of the feed pipe 22 and spaced therefrom is a wall paper sup porting or delivery roll 27, the same being detaohably journaled in the side sections 10 of the frame and is provided with a slot 28 in which is engaged one end of the wall paper strip 29 which is normally wound thereon and is adapted to be fed through the machine when applying the same to a ceiling or wall.

Suitably journaled in the lower edges of the side sections 10 of the frame near the rear end thereof are friction rollers 30 which are adapted to travel upon the Wall or ceiling when the wall paper is being applied thereto so as to assure the easy travel of the machine and to prevent the frame from contacting therewith during the Working of the machine.

The lower edges of ,the side sections 10 of the frame at the forward portion thereof are provided with grooves or channels 31 to acconnnodale arms 32 which are pivoted at 33 in the said grooves or channels for rocking movement, the forward ends of the arms being loosely connected to the journals 16 of the roller -15, while the rear ends of the arms are connected with a combined guide and controlling roll 34, the latter having its ends extended into guideways 35 formed in the inner faces of the side sec tions 10 and over this roller is adapted to be trained the wall paper 29 when fed to the pl'esser roll 15, the roller 34 being designed to cooperate with a cross piece 36 which is arranged at the inner side of the latter so that when the pressure is relieved from the presser roller 15 the roller 34 will be automatically moved toward the piece 36 for gripping the paperto holdthe same from being further unwound from the delivery roll 27, but when pressure is applied 50 to the presser roll 15 for the application of the wall paper 29 to the ceiling or wall, the roll 34 is moved away from the cross piece 26, thereby permitting the wall paper 29 to be freely unwound from the delivery roll 27 so that it can be applied to the ceiling or wall during the travel of the machine there-' over. i

The wall paper 29 prior to the'training of the same over the roller 34 is passed over dial portion 23 and thereby sustain the paper 29 in contact with the paste roll 25 so that paste will be applied therefrom to one side of the paper while passing over the same. The plate 37 has journaled thereon a guide roller 38 which. .is located at one edge thereof so as to prevent the tearing of the paper when being fed to the presser roller 15 during the operation of the machine.

Loosely connected to the journals 16 of the presser roll 15 are the side limbs 39 of a cutting knife 40 which is provided with a toothed cutting edge 41, and this knife 40 is adapted to be swung toward and away from the paper 29, and when moved into contact with the said paper will sever the same. At a point between the tank 21 and the knife 40, and journaled in the frame, is a crank shaft 42 to the cranks 43 of which are loosely connected links 44, the same being also loosely connected to the knife 40, while connected to the remaining crank 45 of the said shaft 40 is an operating rod 46 which extends to the handle 14 and is connected to an operating lever 47 pivoted at 48 to the handle 14, the lever 47 when actuated being designed to shift the knife 40 into cutting relation with respect to the paper 29 -for severing the same. Fixed on the operating rod 46 is an abutment 49, while fixed in one side section 10 of the frame is a guide'eye-5O through which is passed the rod 46, and surrounding the latter is a coiled expansion spring 51, the ends of which work against the abutment 49 and the eye 50, and this spring is designed to normally hold the knife 40 away from the Wall paper 29 so as to prevent the accidental cutting thereof. On operating the lever 47 the knife can be moved into contact with the wall paper 29 for severing the same into the required length.

In the operation of the machine for applying wall paper to the ceiling or walls of a room, the wall paper is wound upon the delivery roller 27 and initially the said paper is trained over the medial portion 23 of the feed pipe 22, thence between the guide rolli34 and the piece'36 and finally beneath the presser roller 15. The initial feed of the paper in this manner is accomplished by hand. Now, upon shifting the machine over the ceiling or wall the paper 29 is applied thereto, it bein understood that the paper when being ed from the machine is supplied with paste on one side thereof from the paste roll. 25. When pressure is applied to the machine the presserroller 15 will .act upon the paper 29 so as to lay the same smooth upon the wall and lnntieally shifted: from the piece 36, thus freeing the paper 29 so' that it will freely urn-oil from the delivery roll- 27 during the travel of the machine crvee the ceilingor wall for the application of the paper thereto.

The operator of the machine can readily inspect the wall paper 29 thmn'gh the body of the machine so as to ascertain whether the strips of paper are being proper! thatched when mpering ceiling or the walls of a room.
