Application filed December 5, 1914. Serial. No. 875,686.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NAFEW J. Lnoro, .a citizen of the United States, residing at IBntte, in the county of Silver Bow and State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrapping-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in wrapping machines and more particularly to a machine for wrap ping coils, tires or other articles having a ole inside whether round, square ::,or of other configuration.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of means for wrapping such articles by machinery where it has been the .usual customto wrap by hand. I ii p A further object is the construction of a machine of this character having means for holding the article to be wrapped and also the rolls or spools of wrapping or winding material. p

A still further object of the invention is the construction of such a machine in which the article being wrapped is automatically fed in position for receiving the wrapping material. I y

Another object of the invention is the pro- 7 80 vision of means for operating and stopping the several elements of the machine.

With tliese and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel, details of construction and arrangement of parts which will bemore clearly understood from the following description and drawings, in which, 7 Figure 1 is a view in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a rear view.

Fig. 3 is a front view.

- In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates brackets which are adapted to be secured "to a wall or'other suitable object for holdingthe several arts of my machine. Socured to thebrac ets 1 are the metal'casings 2 in which are mounted roller bearings 3, the purpose of'which will be presently described. Rotatably mounted within the easings 2 and between the rollers 3 are the sectional rings 4v which are hinged, at 5, and

connected at theopposite ends by means-of U-shapedstraps 6, moreelearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings A spring controlled latch. 7 is connected to the upper strag of the sections and adapted to engage the rap on the opposite section. As is clearly shown a similar bevel in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the hinges connecting the sections of the rin s extend above the outer periphery of sai ring for the 1purpose which will be more clearly set fort later. I

Mounted between the sectional rings 4 is a roll 8 of paper and a roll 9 of burlap or other material for wra ing. As is shown by the dotted'lines in ig. 10f the drawmgs, the paper is drawn around one side and under the object to be wrapped and the burlap or other material'is brought around the opposite side and over the top of the article to be wrapped The rolls of material are arranged between the rings 4 and mounted upon suitable pintles whereby the material may be replenished when the sup- '-plyhas become exhausted.

The object to be wrapped which I will indicate at 19, is adapted to be supported upon sheaves 20 which are mounted in suitable brackets 21 and said article to be wrapped passes through the sectional rings 4, as clearly shown in the'drawings. I In placing the article in position the latch 7 of the [rings 4 is released from the U-shaped strap members and said sections can be swung inserted within the ring. The sections are "then swung into'position and latched, as

shown in the drawings.

Pivotally mounted between the bearings 22 are the standards 23 in the lower end of.

which. is mounted a shaft 24 carrying a bevel gear 25 which is adapted to mesh with ear 26 carried by one of the sheaves v20. he shaft 23 is carried by the'bearing's 22 and pivotally receives the lower end of the standards 23. At the upper end of the standards is mounted a shaft carrying a drumor roller 28. A dfi ing belt 2 driven from any suitable sour of power passes between the pivot point of the standards and contacts with the shaft '24 carrying the bevel gear 25, as shown in a position whereby it ed to the bar 31, at 86. i As is shown Fig; 1 of the drawings, this sliding bolt is in suc 5 when in its forwar'dmost position. A spring 37 is connected'to the bar 31 and to any suitable object for normally drawing the bar back and bringing the drum or roller 28 from out of contact with the ring 4.

Having fully described the detailed construction of my operation will be clearly understood. When it is desired to use the machine the latch 7 is disengaged from the U-shaped stra of the opposite section and the sections the rings swung upon the bin thereby opening the sections. The article to be wra ped is then placed upon the sheaves an between the sections of the rings 4. The sections are then swung upon the hinge and the latch again an aged. When the article to be wrapped is t us placed the wrapping material is drawn from the rolls 8 and 9' around the tire, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and as above described. The driving ower is then started so as to operate the belt20 and by pulling on the lever the drum or roller 28 is brought into contact with the rings 4. By this operati pn the sliding bolt 35 is drawn away' from the rings an the spring 37 placed under tension. Theu'ings' bein .rotated will wrap the artielewhieh is he, d u on the sheaves and the operation of the s article being wrapped circumferentially. Afterthe article has been wrapped the lever 30 is released and the spring 37 draws the standards'23 back and disengages the drum or roller 28 from the rings. The ring also swings the bar 31 on the pivot 32 t ereby forcing the slidingbolt 35 toward the ring1 and into engagement with the hinges 5, t ereby stopping the ring ai'nst furt er rotation. The wrapped artic e can then be removed from the wrapping rings and from the sheaves. j I

From the above it will beseen that I have provided a machine simple in construction which is adapted for wrappingarticles of various'characters andin whic the article being wrapped is automaticall ied. It will also be seen that I have provi ed adjustable bearings for the rolls of wrapping material and means for locking said bearings in'position with the wrapping rings.
