To'aZZ whom it may concern: I

Be known that I, EMIL F. HORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at'Astoria, Long Island, in thecounty ofQueens and 5 State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements ma Turner or Be verser, of which the following is a specifi cation.

This invention relates to a facture of fabric belts, which belts constitute part of a dress, suit or overcoat. v s The principal object of the inventi provision of a machine forv receiving a fabric belt in whatvis termed F an inside out condition and upon operation of the machine, the belt will be ejected in a reverse condition. Another object of-the invention isto provide a machine of this character which ineludes belt receiving member capable .of

being removed for interchangeably receivjingtubespfdif'ferent lengths and diameters for the accommodation of various size belts.- I

A further object is to provide a turner-L. or reverser which is'simple in construction, cheap'in'manufacture and easy of operation. With these and other objects in view, the" invention resides in certain novel construction and combina-tion'and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described, are particularly pointed out in the appended claim, and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing,-in which: V

Figure "1 is a side elevation of my invention showing the position of the fabric belt about to be reversed;

Figure 2' is a, similar v ew showing the belt in reversed condition and a .portion of the belt being ejected from the machine. U

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the invention.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

In the manufacture of fabric belts, it is the practice to form the belt of a tubular piece of material after which the belt is adapted to be reversed soas to conceal the stitching at the seams, thus, assuring a neat and attractive article. It is therefore my purpose to construct a machine for performing this turning or reversing operation turning belts of different sizes.

on is the e in a'more efficient and practical manner and wherein the same is applicable for use in Referring more particularly to the drawing, the reference numeral 10 des1gnates a base upon' opposite ends of which is mounted brackets 11;and 12. The bracket 12 is larger 7. y than the bracket 11 and both brackets are 6 turner. or re verser for use in connection with the manubolted to the base as at-13. 'The'brackets support a pair of horizontal rails 14- which slidably support a movable carriage 15. The

carriage 15 includes ahead 16 having a horizontally disposedtube 17 supported there-- from. .One end of'the tube enters an open-'- ing'18in the head and is removably secured thereto by means of asetscrew 19. The tube 17 isinterchan'geable by reason of its 4 detachable connection with the head where by tubes of various lengths and diameters" may be substituted. therefor for turning belts of different sizes. I

' The bracket 12 supports La push rod2 0:

which is held in the bracket by means 'of a set screw 21, and whichmayalso be removed if desired. The push rod is stationary and is disposed in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the tube 17 so as to'pass centrally V therethrough during the reversing operation. 30 In operation, a tubular fabric belt 22 is passed over the outer end of the tube 17 until the closed end of the belt abuts the end of the tube. The carriage 15 is moved along the rails to'cause the push ro d'to engage the closed endof the belt andlcarry thebelt in a reverse condition through the tube and partially eject the same through the opposite end of the tube where it is pulled out by hand. By this arrangement, the belt 0 is prevented fromcrowding or sticking in V the tube as the metal walls of the tube reduce the friction to a minimum when the belt is passing therethrough.

After the belt has been removed, from the machine'it is of course understood that the open end of the belt is stitched in the usual manner. When desired toreverse 'or turn a relatively long belt which is, usually closed at'both ends and open at its center, each end is turned separately.

While I'have described what I deemtobe the most desirable embodiment of my inven tion, it is obvious that many of the detailsmay be varied Without any Way departing from the spirit of my invention, and 1 therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anything less than the whole of my invention limited only by the appended claim.

What is claimed as new is A turner or reverser for tubular fabric belts comprising a base, spaced brackets mounted upon said base, rails supported by said brackets, a head slidable over said rails and having an opening therein, a tubular member open at both ends, a set screw for removably clamping one end of said tubular tubular member will be reversed and ejected from said tubular member upon the movement of said tubular member over said push rod. 7

In testimony whereof I have atiixed my signature.
