i ,tweeen Specification of ietters Patent,

Application filed August 13, 1912. Serial No. Kbit-3938.

To all ic/icm, 'J may concern .llc it ltnown that. l, l-lixuei' lill. Sriuieiinn, a citizen oil the United States, residing at .'Plphrata7 in the countj'fot Lancaster and 'ltate of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful improvements in Windiiig-lila chilies, of which the" ifollowving1 is a' specification. j

This invention relates to winding inachines, the saine being' especially adapted torvdispeiising wire and siinilar taln'ic, such asiencing, so that any desired portion ot a roll of it'abric may be unwound thereiroin and simultaneously wound into an individual roll to be delivered to the purchaser-L A further object of the invention is to provide a novel torni oft windingv shaft which will perinit the portion ot the roll contained thereon to bereadily reniorcd as soon as it is' severed fronithe niain roll.

it Yfurther object ofthe invention is to provide a `device of the character referred to which is adjustable to'roils oi' different lengths. j

lWit-li the above and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction7 combination and arrangement ot parte, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying" ilrawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure" l is a perspective View of a winding; machine embodying' the present invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section through the saine. Fin'i 3 is a plan View oi one end ot' the machine` Fig. d is an enlarged cross section through the winding` roller, showing the pins retracted. Fig. is a similar View of the roller, showing' the pins projected.

"While the invention hereinafter described ie capable oi a number of embodiments, a simple embodiment thereof is illustrated in Fi l, wherein the supportingl traine of the device or machine is shown as composed ci' a pair of posts l and 2 located at a suitable distance apart and provided with bases adapting' said posts to be 'firmly secured to lthe floor. The posts are connected a suit able distance above the iioor by a horizontal cross rail fit, upon which is; mounted a pail' j of brackets 5. each provided at its outer end with an inwardly projecting' tapering' bearing' t5 adapted to be inserted in one end oit a roll of fabric, such as is shown at '7. the two bracket-s at opposite ende of the roll thus; forming a support which will hold the roll T and at the saine time permit said roll to revolve in unroll'ing' tl'letaljiric therefrom` in the manner illustrated in Fig'. l. Each oi' said lnacltets 5 is prorided. adjacent to its rear end, with a slot t3 adapting" it to lit over and slide lengthwise of the rail 4j 'tor the purpose of adjustnient. 'Each bi cltet is iurthei' provided with a binding screw S, so as to hold the bracket in place, after it has been adjusted to the proper pointalong' the rail 4l, iu accordance with the roll 7. Secured to the posts l and 2. adjacent to the top thereof, are stiri'ups S) adapted to i'orln a support ltoi' a revolving: winding' ehait. hereiinitter particulavrlj7 described'. In the jn'eterred (unbodinicnt oi the invention, each ci? said stirrups 9 is tiedly secured tothe post and coniiected w1 h the inain body of the etirrup by a hinge pin 1i which will enable the stiri'up to be foldedbackward when not in use, and zitter the winding shait has been removed th eret'ronl.

rlhe winding' shaft7 as illustrated in Figs. -t and i3, comprises an outer tubular shell 12, and an inner core 123 which ie also prete!!h ably tubular. but not necessarily so; lhe inner` core 13 is oft considerably less dianieter than the shell i2 and is supported centrally within the shell by means oit webs ll arranged at suitable intervals alonijrI the length of the shell, within which theyr are secured`,the Isaid wehe being recessed or cut away at one side` as shown at i5. to perinit the eorell to slide transversely or radially within the outer shell 'troni a central position to an eccentric one. as indicated in the two detail sections, Figs. t and 5i. (lonuected to the inner corej at any suitable number o't intervals throughout the length thereof, are fabric engaging pins i6, which are curved, as shown in Figs. l and 5, and which are adapted to project through corresponding slots i? torined in the outer shell. By curving' the pins l0. :it will be seen that as the inner core 13 is partialljT turned byincansoit.' an operating-g' hand crank 1S at one end thereof, the concared sides of the pinsl working against the ends of the slots i7 will cause said pins to be projected outwardly beyond the outer surface of the Shell 1% and Correspondingly when said core is turned in the opposite direction, the convex sides: of the pine will operate against the opposite ends ot' the slots l'f"i so to latentod (ict. 2S. 119113.`

Cause said pins to be retracted Wit-hin the' plane of the periphery of the shell.

The operation of the device is Well illustrated in Fig. l, wherein it will be observed that after placing the roll 7 on the brackets 5. the crank 18 is given a partial turn which causes the pins 1G to project outwardly through the slots 1 7, assuming the position illustrated in Fig. The fabric is then engaged over said pins 1G and the hand crank 1S is then operated, until the desired amount of fabric is umvound from the roll 7, and Wound upon the upper Winding shaft. of the device. The fabric is then severed between the tivo rolls, after which by reversing the direction of movement of the crank 1S for a portion of a turn, the pins 1G are retracted entirely Within the outer shell l2 of the winding shaft. thus enabling thev roll on the winding shaft to be easily slid longitudinally off the end of said shaft, after removing t-he latter or one end thereof from the stirrup or stirrups U.

That is claimed is:

l. A Winding machine, comprising a supporting frame` a Winding shaft embodying a core, a tubular shell surrounding the core and movable transversely thereon, and retract-able pins projecting from the core through openings in the shell and serving also as a driving medium by which the rotary movement of the core is imparted to the shell.

Q. A Winding machine, comprising a supporting frame, and a Winding shaft embodying a tubular shell, a core movable Within the shell, and retractable pins pro jecting from the core thro-ugh openings in the shell, the core having a movementtransversely within the shell to project and retract the pins, such transverse movement being produced by the cooperative engagement of the pins with the shell.

3. A Winding machine, comprising a supporting frame, and a Winding shaft embodying a tubular shell, a core movable Within the shell, and retractable pins projecting from the core through openings in the shell., the core having both a partial roshell to project and retract the pins, such transverse movement being produced by the cooperative engagement of the pins with the shell.

4. A Winding machine, comprising a supporting frame, and a Winding shaft embodying a tubular shell, a core movable Within the shell, and curved pins projecting from the core through openings in the shell and cooperating at their concaved sides With the shell to effect the projection of the pins beyond the outer surface of the shell. v

5. A Winding machine, comprising a snpporting ffame, and a Winding shaft embodying a tubular shell, a core movable Within the shell, and curved pins projecting from the core through openings in the shell and cooperating at their convex sides with the shell to effect the retraction of the pins Within the outer surface of the shell.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
