CHARLES WALLACE CHAPMAN, OF LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND.

IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR RE-ROLLING METALLIC BANDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l36,55, dated March 11, 1%?3.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES WALLACE CHAPMAN, of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented a certain new and useful Machine for Re-Forming Iron or Metal Bale-Banding, so that the same may re-enter the market as a new and useful article of commerce.

For carrying out the re-manufacture I use the machine specified below to straighten and re-roll iron bale-banding in a cold state; and that others may make use of my invention, I

make this full, true and exact description thereof and of the mode of its operation, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The machine used is represented in the accompanying drawing, of which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan, Fig. 3 being a front elevation of the machine, showiug the guides. Figs. 4 and 5 are elevations of riveted banding, and Figs. 6 and 7 are views of packed bundles of handing, ready for the market.

The machine is constructed of two frames, a and a, which carry a pair of horizontal rollers, b and I), placed one above the other. The under roller 1) runs in suitable journals in the frames. The upper roller 1) runs in sliding guideblocks 0. These guide-blocks are fitted with a boss containing an elastic buffer or spring, (I, and are actuated or kept in position by the screw-bolt e, which is adjustable by screwing through the cover f. The rollers b and b are geared together by the toothed wheels h and h". k is an adjustable guide for directing the banding through the rollers. It is formed of two bars, I and I, having slots m, in'which work adjustable bolts n, so arranged that they can be adjusted to suit the width of the banding to be treated. 0 is a plate or delivery-table, fitted to the frames to guide the banding from the rollers and prevent it from turning round the rollers. 19 are stays for staying the frames together. ris a block upon which the frames are'fixed. The rollers may be driven by a strap and pulley, or by any suitable mechanical means.

The operation of my improved machine may be stated as tollows-that is to say: The guide is being adjusted to suit the width of the banding to be treated, the banding is passed through the guide, which directs or steers it between the rollers b and I), the elastic medium d allowing for any inequality in the thickness of the banding, and giving the requisite The banding thus rolled is delivpressure. ered straight over the table or plate 0, and is then suitable for riveting in lengths and packing for FG-LISB, and thus becomes a commercial commodity.

Having thus stated the product, the mode of manufacturing, and the construction of the machine used in my invention, what I claim as new therein, and for which I seek Letters Patcut, is-- I The machine herein described, consisting of the steering or directing guide k, the elasticv bufi'er d, and delivery-table 0, combined with the horizontal rollers b and b and frame a a to roll and reform the banding, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

In witness whereof I, the said CHARLES WALLACE CHAPMAN, have hereunto set my hand and seal this 10th day of August, 1872.
