FBPaC-FIUBBING MAGHXIDE.
Application nled September f1 T0 @ZZ furto/m. it may concern.:
Be itknown that l., Anrnnn C. li' citizen of the United. States, resi Hawthorne, in the county of Passau State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and Useful lniproif'einents in Fabrie Rubbing Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a machine for rubbing fabrics. and especially the liner fabrics7 for the purpose of Working out irregularities therein'that result from the Weaving and detract from the appearance of the fabric. According to the invention the fabric is held stretched and its stretched portion is acted upon by rot-ating rubbers on both sides thereof but placed out ofL opposition to each other. The rotation of the rubbers may be oscillatory or continuously in one direction, but one of the salient features of the invention is that the movements of the rubbers are preferably such that the rubbers neutralize each other in their rubbing action, some rubbing one Way and some the other. The fabric is preferably advancedr and at a uniform rate, While being rubbed.
The drawings show,
ln Fig. l a side elevation of a forni of fabric rubbing machine embodying the invention and in which the rubbers are oscillated; i
Fig. 2 being a front elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 a vertical sectional detail; and
ln Fig. i a fragmentary side View of a machine embodying the invention and in which the rubbers are rotated continuously in the same direction.;
Fig. 5 being a fragmentary front elevation thereof, partly in section; and
Fig. 6 a section on line f3-6, Fig. t.
Referring, first, to Figs. l to 3: A roll. of the fabric A to be treated is Wound on a removable beam l in brackets 2 on the up right frame 3 and the fabric extends there from over a guide roller journaled in the frame and then down inward of a. shaft 5 frame, and then onto a beam 9 reino'i'ably journaled in the frame. The shafts or gudgeons 8a and 9a of the nip roller 8 and beam 9 have axed thereto pulleys l0 and l1 around which extends an endless belt l2,
Serial No.
nilley 'il beingl of less diameter thanl i lO (which about equals that of the 5%), so that. Wi incidental slip of the bett, the fabric will be wound rl'lie nip rollers rotated coa/.ft with the beam l and roller il, which offer the necessary .,.iance7 to maintain the fabric tant between said roller and the shaft 5; and the rotation of the n@ rollers effected through endl chain 3 which extends around sprocket-\vheels leand 15, the former of which is li ed on the shaft of nip roller 8 and the la the counter-slnzft 16 of a suitable other motor '1T Whose may be connected with the rearing i9 shown by dotted une ccrries at the front Atwo brackets U, Vngrajl at level between the guide Y. d the shaft 5. and in these bracht are J.urnaied on horizontal, axes the shafts of two pairs of rubbers, the tiro pairs beii'ijiv in vertical planes between which lies the portion of the fabric A extending from roller IlA down inward to shaft 5. Each rubber consists of a shaft 2i having a series of radial blades projecting therefrom, all of snflicient length (longitudinally of the shaft) to reach across the Whole Width of the fabric and the radial extent of all the blades being` equal and they having their free edges Parallel with the il 's of the shaft 2l.
'lhc two pairs of rubbers are arranged so that the rubbers in one pair are out of opposition to those in the other and so that When stretched fabric tends to assume: in other Words, the rubbers are adapted to hold the fabric in sinuous arrai ement as shown in Fig. 3. rihe oscillatiu. j of the rubbers is effected by il dag' to the ends of their shafts 2l pinions 2l,- ne pair of pinions engagi one toothed side of a compound re lr which is guided vertically in the bracket 20 and adapted to be rcciprocated through a lint: 9J- froni a crank pin 25 on the end of the shaft the opposite toothed side of the rack being engaged by a pinion 2G in mesh with the other pair of pinions 2l rThis shaft 5 is driven from the shaft i8 of the motor li' by an endless chain E26? extending around sprocket- Wheels 27 and 28 on shafts 5 and 18.
cillates the pairs of rubbers in opposite directions, which in the present case'only perform partial revolutions. Both sides of the fabric are treated at once, and on ac-A :ount of the oscillating movementof the rubbers the surface of the fabric is rubbed both ways, so that the threads are disp-lacet first in one'directicn and then in the other' in each complete oscillation of a rubber.
Referring now to Figs. -l to 6: rlllie ma-v chine in this case is substantially the same as that already described except with respect to the rubbing means and excepting that in place of shaft 5 (which in figures l to forms part of the means for transmitting motion to the rubber) a plain bar 29 may beemployed.4 In the frame 3, is journaled a set of rubbers arranged with 'their axes horizontal, each rubber consisting of a shaft Il() `journaled in the frame and having radial blades 3l all longer than the fabric is wide and all extending uniform radial distances from the 'axis of the shaft and being` uniformly spaced around the shaft. Projecting from the frame is a aair of brackets 32 in which are jo-urnaled another set of rubbers similar in all respects to the first set and arranged so as to be out of opposition thereto and so that the interveningr fabric will be held by the two sets of rubbers in a sinuous disposition. All the rubbers have at the ends of their shafts sprocket-wheels 33 all standing in the same vertical plane (the teeth of the sprocket-wheels are omitted in Figs. and 6). An endless chain engages the several sprocket-wheels in such manner that it extends inward, outward and inward around the first, second and third (from the top down) of the sprocket-wheels of the first set of rubbers and then outward, inward and outward (from the bottom up) of the sprocket-wheels of the second set of rubbers. The lowest rubber in the whole complement has a sprocket-wheel around which extends an endless chain 36 which may be driven in the same manner as `the chain 26a already described.
Then the machine of Figures et, 5 and G is being operated the action of each rubber is continuous, or always in thesame rotary direction, the fabric being drawn downwardly, moreover, in the construction as described, the several rubbers are caused to rotate so that half of the whole complement 1er/asas f of rubbers rotates in one direction and the other half in the opposite direction, whereby they neutralize the influence of each other in the rubbing action.
ln the construction of Figs. l to 3 the neutralizing of the rubbing accion takes place as between the rubbers on one side of the fabric and those on the other; in the construction of Figs. l to Grit takes place as between the several rubbers on each side of the fabric.
In both constructions each surface of the fabric becomes rubbed botl ways, in Figs. l to 3 bythe oscillation of the rubbers and in Figs. l to 6 because the several rubbers in cach set rotate oppositely.
Having thus fully described my invention, lwhat l claim as new and desire to secure by 'Letters Patent is l. In combination, means to hold the fal ric stretched, separate fabric rubbing members revoluble on individual axes, and means to oscillate said members on their axes and in rubbing contact with the fabric in relatively opposite directions substantially multaneously.4 A Y 2. ln combination,.means to hold the fabric stretched, segarate fabric rubbing` niembers revoluble on individual axes and arranged in opposite sides of the fabric, and means to oscillate said members on their axes and in rubbing Contact with 'the fabric in relatively opposite directions substantially siniultaneouslY 3. ln combination, means to hold the fabric stretched, separate fabric rubbing members revoluble on individual axes and arranged on opposite sides of the stretched part of the fabric out of opposition to each other and holding said part sinuous, and means to oscilla-te said members on their axes, each member including rubbing blades arranged spaced from each other around the oscillating axis of said member.
el. ln combination, means to advance the fabric, means against which one face of 'the fabric bears while being advanced, a fabric rubbing member in contact with the opposite face of the fabric and revoluble on an axis substantially parallel with the fabric, and means to oscillate said member on said axis while the fabric is being advanced, said member including rubbing blades arranged spaced from each other around the oscillating axis of said member.
ln testimony whereof, l affix my signature.
