Application filed May 1, 1920. Serial 110. 378,267.

To all to 7mmz't may concern Be it known that I, ROY M. STRONG, a citizen of the United. vFitates, residing at Platteville, in the county of Grant and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Holding Oilcloth; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to dispensing, and particularly to an apparatus for dispensing oil cloth, wall paper and the like. An object of this invention is to provide a plurality of reels concentrically mounted whereby the same may be interchanged and the desired reel of oilcloth or wall paper or other similar article to be dispensed may be interchanged and paid out over a table and me tered upon that table, and to provide an improved device of this class. A further object to this invention is to provide a squirrel cage arrangement of a plurality of reels which may be quickly supplied with the roll of the desired article to be dispensed and to provide an improved means of mounting these rolls upon the master reel carrier. further object of this invention is to provide an improved means of guiding and retaining the material to be dispensed upon its reel. A further object of this invention is to generally improve the structure of reels of this character.

These and other objects in view of the invention consist in the construction, the combination, the details, and the arrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of this device.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation.

Fig. 3 is a section at 3-3 of Fig. l.

r Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section at :--1 of fhe embodiment of my invention provides a pair of standards perforated at 3 to journal a shaft hereinafter more fully described and perforated at 41 and 4: to receive rods 5 and 5 and also perforated at 6 and 7 to receive cross rods 8 and 9, there being mounted on cross rods 8 and 9 a yoke bar 10, the rod 5 passing through perforations 11 and 11 in saidyoke bar whereby the said yoke bar 10 is fixedly held and forms a socket for a brace rod 12, which brace rod 12 1s plvotally mounted to the front of the table at 18, the table being designated by the numeral 14. The table 1 1 is pivoted at 15 and the brace rod 12 is provided with'a hook end 16 so that by its upward movement it may be released from the rod 9 and thereby the table lowered as may be desired. The rods 5 8, 9, and the yoke bar 10 serve as connecting and supporting members for the standards 2 and 2 Passing through perforations 3 of the said standards is a shaft 16, to which is fixedly mounted by set screws 17 the pair of disks 18 and 18 which disks are spaced apart and held in spaced relation by four rods 19 with nuts 20 and 20 Between the rods 19 are similar adjustable rods 21, there being preferably three of these rods between each pair of the said rods 19. The said disks 18 and 18 being drllled for a portion of their thickness with holes 22. The perforations 22 are adapted to receive the ends of rods 21 and alternate on each disk with blocks 23, which blocks 23 are adapted to receive the opposite ends of the rods 21 and are so disposed that the alternate rods 21 are inserted from reverse ends of the said device. Pivotally mounted adjacent the said blocks 23 are hooks 24 of suitable structure to retain the said rods 21 by the angular movement of the said hooks 2 1. Integrally' formed on the said disks 18 and 18 are a series of sockets 25 adapted to receive latchpins 26 mounted in standards 2 and 2 the said latchpins being held yieldingly inward by helical springs 27. By means of the said latchpins engaging in the said socket the said disks may die rotated from socket to socket or to the desired socket, thereby placing the said bar 21 in the desired position before the table 14: whereby the roll of oilcloth or other desired material may be paid out on the said table 141. in skeleton as shown at-27 is a reel of oilcloth mounted upon one of the bars 21 and extending at 28 upon the table 14. The table 1 1 is provided with graduations in inches or other desired denominations as shownrat 29 whereby the said material to be dispensed may be metered out as it passes over the said table. Mounted in spaced relation between the said disks 18 and 18 is a spider set of bar springs 29, the Samebsing mounted by rivets. or bolts 30 to a disk 31 and being interconnected in pairs by bars 32, which bars 32 serve to guide and retain the material which is dispensed upon the reel and is yieldingly heldagainst the reel by :the said springs 29.

What I claim is:

A pair of standards mounting a squirrel cage aI'rangement-ofrods for carrying materialto be dispensed from rolls, a table pivotally mounted to said standards, a dependpath of said depending member having said brace rods passing therethrough and having its end mounted on other of said connecting rods.
