MEASURING AND CUTTING MACHINEQ: I Q i .1.

Application filed August 13, 1921-. Serial no. 492,169."

' Be it known that I, J osnrrr F. WIESNER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Ellis, in the county of Ellis and State of Kansas, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Measuring and CuttingiMachines, of which the following is a specififor measuring, rolling and cutting oil cloth .and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide means for supporting a plurality of rolls of cloth, with means whereby the cloth on any desired roll can be attached to a winding roll to wind off the quantity of cloth desired by the customer, with means for measuring the cloth being Wound upon the winding roll and cutting means for severing the cloth.

Another object of the invention is to provide'a simple form of measuring device for measuring the cloth and means for easily and quickly attaching the cloth to the winding roll. v

A further object of the invention is to provide asimple construction of cutting means and also to form the cutting means so that the blade thereof is enclosed so that there is but little danger of the operator injuring himself.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a plan View of the invention.

Figure 2 is a front view thereof.

Figure 3 is a side view.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4 lof Figure 1.

Figures 5, 6,

In these views 1 indicates a base frame upon which the various parts of the apparatus are supported. An inverted V-shaped frame 2 is connected with each side of the base frame, at the rear thereof, these V- shaped frames being provided with the downwardly inclined notches 3 for receiving the ends of the rolls 4 upon which the 7 and 8 are detail views;

base frame are-provided v we PATENT orricn 7 cloth is wound. Thusa plurality of rolls of cloth can be supported by the apparatus with notches '5 which are situated in front. of the supporting frames 2 and are intended I to receive the roll of cloth which has been picked out by the customer. This clothis passed between the small roller 6, which is I supported on the uprights 7, forming part. of the base frame and which are located at the center of the same, and the roller .8, which is carried at the front end of the curved frame 9 which has its, other end pivotally supported at the bottom of the base frame as at 10 Figures 1 and 4. This:

frame 9 consists of a pair of curved bars held in spaced relation by the pivot 10, the roller 6 and 8 to permit the cloth to be passed between the rollers. The frame 9 carries a dial 12 .and a finger l cooperates with this dial and the shaft of this finger is connected with a gear 14L which meshes with a gear15, secured to a roller 8. Thus the cloth being pulled between the rollers will cause the same to rotate and the movement of 'roller8lwill be communicated to the finger 13 so that the cloth will be measured as it is being unwound from the roll in notches 5. 1 i

I provide a winding roll 19 upon which the cloth is wound after it passes between the measuring rolls 6 and 8. This winding,

roll is supported at the outer end of the base of the frame and it has a sphericalamember' 7'5 7 8 and the cross piece 11. This fram can be swung upwardly to separate the rollers 20 on one endwhich is fitted to andheld inv place by a a} spherical receptacle, composed of a semi-spherical socket 21 and two segf is movably held'to the frame by means of the bolts'23 and the springs 24 on said bolts.

The other end of the winding rollis provided with a square socket 25 Figure 7 which is adapted to receive a square part 26 formed.

on the inner end of a stub shaft 27 which .is

journaled in the base'frame and which is adapted to be rotated by a crank handle 28 Figure 1. It will thus be seen that the'roll 19 can be moved longitudinally by pressing it towards the spherical receptacle, thus nti.

movi g. said receptacle on the bolts and 7 against the action of the springs. This will the roll.

free the other end of the roll from the stub shaft and then the roll canbe swung to an inclined position so that the operator can insert his finger or thumb intotlie'end of the roll of cloth, which projects beyond the end of the roll, due to the removal of the stubshaft, and so grip the cloth and pull the same off the roll.- It is not necessary to handle the roll itself other than swingit into an inclined position;

.I also provide simple means for connecting'the' end of'th'e cloth with said winding roll, such means consisting of an angular clamp' 29 Figures 51' and 6 .which engages a .part of'one end and a part of the circumfen ence of the roll so as to clamp the cloth to This clamp" is yieldingly. held in clamping position by the spring 30 and is moved into unclamping position by the plunger Slengaging a rod 32 Which is located ina hole in the roll and engages the clamp. The plunger is provided with a notch 33 having an inclined part 33' which will engage the inner end of the. rod 32 and 7 force said rod outwardly when the plunger bar 35 extending. across the upper part of} the base frame adjacent its front end and having its upper edge rounded and provided with the centrally located slot 36 Figure 8 for receiving the cutting edg of-th knife 37. Thisknife 37 is carried by a knife bar 38 which has its lower edge provided with a semi-circular cavity 39 in which the cutting part of the knife is located. This cavity will receive the rounded upper edge of the bar 35when the knife is in lowered position. The extended parts of the knife bar 38 which form the cavity act as dogs to preventthe operator from injuring himself by the knife. This bar 38 is connected with the upper ends of the vertically arranged rods 40 Figure 3 which are slidably mounted in the base frame and have their lower ends connected together by the foot board 41. Springs 42 on the lower parts of the rods 40 tend to holdthe rods in raised position with the knife bar well above the measuring and winding rolls so that the operator can readily pass his arms and hands under the-knife b r in placin -the cloth between theine sthe cloth.

uring rolls and connectingi it with the windin roll. 7 a i When a sufficient amount of cloth hasbeen wound from the roll in notches 5 upon the windin roll the operator depresses the board fl by hisfoot so as to bring'the knife down upon the bar 35 and'thus sever .the cloth. i

From the above it will be apparent that the. cloth after having its roll positioned in '1 notches 5 can be passed between the rollers 6 and 8 by swinging theframe 9 upwardly to raise the roll 8 to permit the cloth to"be;

passed betweei'i'v the rolls. The frame 9 [is tl'ien'lowered'to place roll 8. in contact with he endof the cloth is thencon nected with windingroll 19 by means of the" clamp and then this winding roll is turned by its crank to wind the cloth thereon; l Vhen a suffic ient amount of cloth.'has been withdrawn from the roll and wound upon the winding roll this amount being indicated by the finger 13 on dial '12, th knife is lowered to sever thecloth; I

It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantagesand'novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may I make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scopeof the appended claims.
