ioned that each slide as il: rea'ohes lie end of its forward reciprocatioii will 'come 'suhstant-iallyto the side member 12, so that the length of the fold imparted to the web is governed by .the distance between the side pieces 12, which, of course, in turn is dependent upon the lengh 01 reoiprocation of l the s'lides 9 and 10.
. which deseripeion will suilice for the finger 14k-ill being understood thaI these fingers act al'. alternate times and noi' togerher.
As shown in Fig. 3.5 the linger 13 is mounted upon tivo rods ll which, at, their.
vupper end are turned into a suhsfaintially are mounted in straps' 15 which permit the rods' lo slide' under the aoioii of certain mecha- 'nisinl to he described. 'liansveisely or the horizontal position. 1. The. rods le side piece 1:2 there extends a share lo which is mounred in siiiahle hearings .11? which shalt is provided with fingers '18 'that are situated adjacent opposite. ends of the shalt and are so .positioned that as she shafr 16 is turned, the lingers 18 Will engage the lower ends of rlie rods 1l and raise them. The shaft 1,6 normally has the fingers 18 ont or engageinenrl with the rods leb. Near one end o the shalt 1G there is a ciotola jaw 18 secured to he shaft, and loose upon the 'shaft there is another clutch jaw 19, which jaw may have a vlimited movement along the shaft,-these elutch jaws .being pressed` toward each other by a spring 20. v@n the Acluleh 19 liere is an arm :21 which by means of a -iexilile cord 21 is connected with the slide 9, and rhe similar arm upon the other side member 1:2 is connected by a liexihle Cord with the slide 1). lt will thus he ap parent that as 'the slides 9 and 10 reeiproA cate, they will, upon their rearward excursion, actiiate the mechanism controlling the ringer 13, which is adjacent the slide' in question, and under such conditions, the opposiieJslide will be .folding the web beneath the fingei-.ll which is elevated.
Carried by the side l2 is a Cain shaped piece '22 which is shown in plan in Fig.' 5. and ooperating with this cam is a linger :25S which' entends downwardly from ihe clutoh jaw 19. T'Vhenthe lever 21 is drawn hack- Ward, the linger will iravel along the slanting face of the Cam 22 and `ri'i'll'result in moving the jan' 19 away from the jan' 1S. The engagement hetiveenthe cani face and the finger 23 is so timed' iwith respect lo the movement of *che slides'land 10. tha immediately after a slide begins its har-lr ward reeiproeation, the clutch jaws 18 and These lingers said link to eaiise the slides lo reciproca .of niaerial'. a receiving; chiite 11 heneali l? i ,enanas 19 become disengaged and ehe linger which has heen raised is'snddenlv drawn hack to its lower posiion under lie aeioii ospiings. *which are represented at l-l. lt `will thus-he seen that the operation of eavh 7o AlinO'er 13 is ro eiiszaoe and hold the fold iii br .e i: A .b `the web of material immediately ariel: a slide .has Completed the fold. and before ilie coni-- panion slide will have commenced to nialre the next `fold.

Having thusdeseril'ied my inveaiion, claim: 4 l n l. A. folding` machine comprising a- :leedm ing device adapted ro 'leed a continuons weh or material, a pair of oppositely disposed slides, yieldahle heads carried by said slidesa and a receiving means ini-o which the 'weh is folded.
2. "folding machine comprising a ing device adap'ed zo feed a eoiiliniious ol' material. a pair of oppositely dispose.; slides, yielding heads Carried by the slides, means for alternaely ieeiproeaing saiT slides, and vreceiving means inno 'which i. web ofinaterial is folded hy he slides.
Il. folding *machine comprising a ing means adapted to feed a continuons web of 'material -a pair of oppositely dispose" slides. yielding heads carried said slid l5 means Jlor alternately reciprocating sain ing means adapted to'eed a eoninuoiis web oi material, a pali-of opposireltv disposed' slides, a linleleiiihly eonneciiig adgaeen4 portions of said slides, and means *for mori 5. A folding machine, comprising fe ing device adapted izo feed Aa continuons web ie 'feeding means, a pair of reciproearing whlch more across he said Chine, 'a linli if o otall)` connected at its opposite ends tothe adjacent or head endsot' the slides, a rod slides, means for 'alternately reciprocating 'said slides, a pair of fingers adapted to revtain the mate-rial after it vis folded, each tin' pivotally connected to said` link, and means for reciprocating said rod.
` (i. A :folding machine, comprising a feeding device adapted to feed a continuons web of material. a pair ot' oppositely disposed slid.es,'yielding heads carried by said slides,
a link pivotallv connected at its opposite ends to adjacent ends of the slides, a. rod
