Specification of ALetters Patent. Y

ject to provide an improved -construction which may be utilized in placing the paper directly on the wall oronthe ceiling `from thesupply roll. jl ,U 1

Another object` of the invention is to provide a device'comparatively small so as to be readily operated by a workman and raised from the floor to the ceiling when placing paper on the wall, landv readily moved across the ceiling when placing paper thereon, the same being formed so asto apply the paste `to the paper as itis placed on the wall. p Y

`A. further object of the invention is to provide a paper hanging device in which boththe paper and paste are arranged on 'the device and moved withl the device as the same is moved over a wall. Y

' In the accompanying drawings-Figurel is a front view of the device with partof the strip of paper in position ready to be applied; Fig. 2 is a section through Fig. v1 on line 2-2; Fig. 3 is a similar sectional view-to that'shown in Fig. 2 but with the device applied to the ceiling instead of the side wall; Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the construction shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a side view of the construction shown in Fig.

4; Fig. 6 is an enlarged detailed fragmentary Vsectional view through .the driving mechanism andk one end. of the paper spindle; Fig. 7 is an enlarged detailedl fragmentary sectional view through a guiding l roll embodying certain features of the. in-

vention; Fig. 8 is a detailed fragmentary perspective view of one end ofthe supply Y roll.

Referring to the'accompanying drawings i j by numerals, 1 and 2 indicate end members which may be formed'o'f any desired mate.- ral, as forinstance aliuninum'.` Connected and 4 and a hand gripping member 5 which together with the ends form a frame in which a number of moving `parts are mounted. Connected to the-ends 1 and 2 by any desired means, Yas for instance by Patenten.Mayra, 1915.

Vwith these end members are bracing barsl 3 i i bolt 6 is a drum or cylindrical member 6 having a slot 7 for receiving the lmife 8, which knife is provided with a pointed sec# tion 9 in the center and with inclined slantfirst punctured centrally and is then slit from said central point vto the opposite edges.l

Arranged adjacent the .drum', 6 isa roller 12 journaled in the ends `1 and 2,"and designed to have the paper 13 passedthereover so that strip 14 mayl be pressed. against the wall, both by the roller 12 and by the roll of paper 15 which isarranged upon the spindle 16. The roller 12is loosely mounted in the ends 1- and `24 as well yas roller 18 lwhich guides the paper 13 to the paste roller 19. The ends of the paste receptaclev 43 arey ing edges 10i and 11,`whereby the paper is vof member 21, preferably of metal, which is overlapped by a metal `roller 22 slightly beveledv as shown `in Fig. V1 so'as to provide a shearing action, whereby the paper on roller 20. overlapping thek cutting rollerg22 will be severed. The spindle 16 carries the roll 15 of paper, which spindle has at one end a suitable journal 23 of any desired description, said `journal .member extending into an aperture in end 2 .while theopposite end is constructed as shown in detail in Figs. 6 and 8, namely, with a socket 24;.fins or. webs 25 and 26, and a pair of slots 27 and 28. The so'cket'24 is designed to receve the end of pin` 29 whilethe notches 27 manner, and is provided at its outer endV with a bearing bracket 33 vfor acting as a stop for spring 34 which bears against the hub of the sprocket wheel 35. rThe hub of the sprocket wheel 35 preferably extends to one side an appreciabledistance so as to re-v ceive a set screw 36 for locking the sprocket wheel to the shaft or pin 29. When it is desired to place the spindle16 in operative position, journal 24 is placed in position and the sprocket wheel 35 grasped and moved outwardly until the lugs 30 and 31 have been moved into socket 37 ,l whereupon the opening or socket 24 is brought opposite pin 29 and then the sprocket 35 is released so that spring 34 will force the end of pin 29 into socket 24 and lugs 30 and, 31 into notches 27 and 28.

It will be observed that the roll of paper 15 when forced over the spindle 16 will be engaged by the fins or webs 25 and 26 and locked to the spindle, whereupon the roll of paper 15 will act as a power member when moving over the wall. The rotation of the roll of paper will cause a rotation of spindle 16, pin 29, and sprocket wheel 35. The rotation of sprocket Wheel 35 will drive chain 38, which cha-in passes over sprocket wheels 39 and 40, and also if desired over an idler 41 which may be adjusted to take up any slack in the chain. The sprocket wheel 39 is rigidly secured to shaft 42, which shaft in turn is rigidly secured to the paste cylinder 19 so that when wheel 39 is rotated the paste roller will also be rotated. The paste roller 19 may be made from any form of foraminous material, but preferably from perforated sheet metal, and is made preferably larger than the paper roll 15 so that the peripheral speed of the paste roller will be greater than the speed of the paper 13 passing over the roller. This will cause the paste to not only be applied but to-be rubbed in to the paper to a certain extent. After leaving the paste cylinder or roller 19, the paper passes under guiding' roller 17 and over roller 12, and is applied directly to the wall. `When the device has been raised until the edge strikes the ceiling or the picture molding or other similar obstacle, thefknife 8 is operated and cuts the paper. at slot 7, thus leaving a section unapplied. This section or unapplied portion is sufficiently long to reach to the ceiling. Y v

Referring again to the paste roller19, it will be noted that the same is mounted .to rotate in a casing or receptacle 43 which is open at the top but which isy rotatably mounted on theshaft 42 so that the same may be turned to the position shown in Fig.

3 when the device is used on the ceiling as hereinafter fully described. Arranged below the casing 43 is the handhold 5 which is grasped when the device is used. If desired,

either of the bracing members 3 or 4 may be also grasped. Arranged slightly below the handhold 5 is a shaft 44 which is j ournaled in the ends 1 and 2, and which has sprocket wheel 40 connected therewith so that the shaft will be rotated when chain 38 is operated. Rigidly secured to shaft 44 are the cutters 22 which co-act with the end members 21 and roller 2O for severing the edges of the paper. It will be evident that either of the cutters 22 could be removed in case only one edge was to be severed. It will also be evident that both of the cutters could be removed if neither edge of the paper was to be severed. In order that the cutters may be adjusted for cutting different widths of paper and always engaging more or less tightly the ends 21, the roller 20 is made in two sections as more clearly shown in Fig. 7 wherein parts 45 and 46 are telescopically iitted together. These parts are provided with recesses or bores for receiving the spring 47 which urges the parts of the roller in opposite directions and against the relspective knives 22. Knives 22 are held on roller 2O by any desired means, as for instance a suitable set screw 48. When it is desired to adjust either of the cutters 22 set screw 48 is unscrewedand the knife moved in the direction desired along shaft 44 which ywill cause spring 47 to be contracted or be allowedvto expand. After vthe adjustment has been secured set screw 48 is tightened and the deviceis ready for work.

In order that the knife 8 may properly operate, supporting runners 49 are rigidly secured thereto. These runners are arranged in ways 50 formed by oppositely arranged angle irons. Arranged along the rear and lower face of the knife 8 as shown in Fig. 2

A,is an angleiron 51 through which links 52 are pivotally mounted. The links 52 have pivotally connected therewith near the outer ends arms 53, which arms are rigidly secured to sha-ft 54. 'I Shaft 54 extends through the end 1 and has rigidly secured thereto a hand operated member 55. When the hand operated member 55 is rockedshaft 54 will also be rocked and knife 8 will be moved into yslot.f7.y .When themember 55 is released ,knife 8k will move .back automatically to the positiony shown in Fig. 2. '1n-order to accomplish this result an arm or lever 56 is rigidly secured to shaft 54 and a retractile spring 57 is connected with the o-uter end of said arm and with lend 2 so as to resiliently resist any movementy of shaft 54. Rigidly secured to shaft 54 are a pair of resilient arms 58 which carry a bar 59 formed of any material, as'for instance a strip of wood.

. gagement therewith after the paper has been cut so that the paper may be easily drawn upwardly and over roller 12 and from thence downwardly past the paper roll 15 when it is desired to place another strip of paper on the wall.

When it is desired to use the device on the ceiling the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 3. From this figure itV will be observed that the casing or receptacle 43 is turned so as to face the ceiling, and that the paper does not engage the roller 18. The construction is the same when using the device on the ceiling, but the paper is merely threaded through the parts in a dierent manner so that the guiding roller 18 will not be used.

The construction and arrangement described is intended for applying paper directly to the wall or ceiling or through some other suitable construction, but if desired the device could be used merely as a paste applying construction. It also could be used as a device for trimming the edges of the paper in addition to a paste applying device, and the paper mounted on the wall in the usual manner. In order to positively .hold the receptacle 43 either in the position shown in Fig. 2 or in the position shown in Fig. 3 a bar or pin 60 is rigidly secured to one end of the receptacle 43 and projects through an arc-shaped slot 61. A winged nut 62 is applied to the pin 60 and when screwed against the end of the framework the receptacle 43 will be clamped in its adjusted position.
