Description

UNITED STATES LYMAN P. CONVERSE, OF GREENVILLE, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CARPET-RAG. CUTTERS AND LOOPENS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,857, dated July 9, 1872.
- the county of Darke and State of Ohio.
This invention relatesto that class of devices which are used for looping or uniting strips of rags as a preliminary to Wea'vin g them linto carpets, &c., and which are composed of a sharppointed knife-blade, attached to a suitable base and provided with an eye for the introduction, above the lapped ends of two strips pierced by the knife, of the other end of the lower strip, for the purpose of forming the loop on drawing the la-pped ends off theknife. My improvement consists in combining with such a looper a pair of knives, which are` suitably attached to its base and used for cutting pieces of rags into strips of required width, preparatory to tying the rags together.
Figure l is a perspective view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof.
The same letters of reference are used in both igures in the designation of identica-1 parts.
The looper A is a knife-blade with a sharp point, and ground to a cutting-edge on one side. From near the lower end of the eye a a lateral slot, a', extends to the edge'of the blade, as shown, through which slot the end of the strip of rag is introduced into the eye by drawing it in sidewise. The looper is pivoted to the base B, bearing against a spring, C, in manner like a blade of a pocket-knife. A groove, b, is'cut in the board B, into which the looper may be folded when not in use. D and D refer to a couple of short knives, pivoted in slots near the end of the base B, through which, when `they are in the position shown in the drawing, they project far enough with their cutting-edges to pass through the thickest rags. The shanks of these knives bear against springs E, by which they are actuated in their down stroke in cutting rags.
In operating the knives, the device is placed upon the rag to be cut, and the latter drawn from under it as fast as cut. 1
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
'Ihe combined carpet-rag cutter and looper, composed of the base B, knives D D, and looper A, substantially as specied.
In testimonywhereofl have signed my naine to this specication in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
LYMAN I. CONVERSE.
