DYEING APPARATUS.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Dee. e, 1914.

Application led December 13, 1913. Serial No. 806,372.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH BENosCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Amsterdam, in the county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Dyeing Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable `others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to dyeing apparatus.

@ne of the objects thereof isk to provide simple and practical apparatus of the` above type in which the parts are conveniently manipulated in loading and unloading the machine.

Another object is to provide reliable and effective apparatus for locking supporting members in operative position.

Another object is to reduce the number of springs in apparatus of the above type without sacrificing security of position of the parts or ease of manipulation.

Other objects will bein part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.

Tn the accompanying drawings, in which is shown one of various possible embodiments of this machine, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a carrying member and associated parts; Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing a pair of carrying members mounted upon their shaft; Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a portion of a carrying member' with the locking devices closed; Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the parts shown `in Fig. 3 with the locking devices open; Fig. 5 is a detail elevation of another portion of the carrying member; Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line fvof Fig. 5; and Fig'. 7 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line y-g/ of Fig. l showing the parts upon a larger scale.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring now to Fig. 2 of the drawings,

there is shown a supporting shaft 1 upon i which are mounted the carrying members or spiders 2 and 3. Upon the members 2 are a series of sockets or cups l1 which are rotatable as by means of the star wheels diagrammatically indicated at 5. These sockets are of squared conformation to fit the supporting sticks 6, the free ends of which are provided with a rounded extension 7 resting within round sockets S and corresponding openings passing through the spider 3. These sticks 6 are mounted at equal distances from shaft 1 about the circumference of the rotary carrying members 2 and 3. Upon the side of the carrier 3 away from the sticks there are slidably mounted a plurality of locking slides 9, as indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings. These locking slides, more clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4, are provided with openings which in one position of the slide exactly register with the cups 8 and permit the sticks 6 to be moved longitudinally to such an extent as to release their squared ends from the cups f1. If the slide, however, which is fitted between guides 10 and the flange 11 be moved into the position shown in Fig. 3 of the dra-wings it closes the ends of these openings and holds the sticks 6 against longitudinal movement, thus locking themin operative position. The slide is securely held against lateral movement by means of the projecting lugs 12 fitting in slots 13 in the flange 11 and is held in its locking or releasing position by means of a set screw 1i which passes through a slot and is tapped within a portion of the slide. About the inner portion of the carriers 2 and 3, is another set of supporting sticks 15. The locus of the centers of the sticks of this set lies in a path substantially concentric with the shaft, and one end of each stick is journaled in a cup 16, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The remaining ends of these sticks rest in cups 17, upon the member 3, and there are provided in the latter member, openings 18 registering with these cups and permitting a movement, unless otherwise prevented such as will release the ends from cups 16 and allow the removal of the sticks. Mounted upon the outer surface of the annular member 19 on which the cups 17 are formed is an oscillating ring 20 which is guided by flanges 21 and held in position as by the rivet head' 22g This slidefZO may be oscillated to a slight extent about the aXis of shaft, 1 so as to bring the openings 23 thereinA out of register with the openings 1.8 and thus lock the sticks 15 in operative position in a manner analogous to that in which the outer sticks 6 are secured. The ring 2Q isiv manipulated by.muis of a projecting handle 24 which isprovided with a lperforation 25 coacting withisimilar `periorations 26 in a locking plate 27 whereby the handle may/be lockedby -a pin in either of its eX- treme Vp0siticns,-.the latterbeing limited by meansoi the slot-28 coacting with the rivet head- 22.; This A ring extends -entirely about the-annular member I19, but it will be noted that-the outerlockingslides each ycoact with al set; Orl-group of sticks, ve oi"- these sticks being shown in this illustrative embodi- -1 It isto bev understood that the term locking 2,- or its equivalent, is used throughout in abroad-sense as denoting any securing action bywhich the parts thus defined are held infposition.A f l f.

-V In the use of thisapparatus the pairs of sticks are inserted one pair at a time in the machina-the inner stick being'first placed in sockets 16 andl?, and thev corresponding outer stick havingfits end first thrust within socket 8 then moved -longitudinally to per- `it to bei 'set within 'the corresponding socket 4l. When a group of these outer sticksis thus placed in position, a correspondinglocking slide is moved into its operative position, 'shown-in F ig. 3,- andthe sticksware thusheldA against longitudinal movementv and cannot Abecome displaced in use, the1locking slide being gripped against thel flange llby the screw 14. The machine is thus filled, and when all', ofthe inner sticksare in positionthe handle 24 is moved to displace the. openings in ring 20 with respect tothe openings 18 and thus lock the inner sticks.- It-will--thus be seen that both 4sets of sticks. are :securely held in position and the kuse of springs Vdone 'away with, and that .the easeoff loading and unloading the machinel is much enhanced andsthe actual time requiredor such action reduced.

f1. As manyfchanges @could be made in the above construction .and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention:l could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter vcontained in.v the above description or shown f inv the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
