UNITED STATES'PATENT OFFICE` MORRIS H. KRONSON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
FUR-TREATING MACHINE.
Application led November 3, 19.25. Serial No. 66,538.
My invention relates to a machine for treating pelts having the natural coating, hereinafter termed the fur.
The object of my-inventionis to produce a machine which will prepare the fur with a high finish. Y My machine has a number of ,rotatable cylinders, so positioned that a conveyer belt carrying the Apelts with their furry side up, may successively prese-nt the fur to the action of these cylinders. One or more of these cylinders is covered with bristles. At least one of these cylinders is heated so as to iron the fur and to give it a high lustre at the same time. l
The preferred form of my invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing which forms a part of this application. I would, however, have it understood that various modifications and changes may be made without departure from the true spirit and scope of my invention.
Fig. 1 is an elevational left side view of the machine embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a right side view of same machine. Y a
Fig. 3 is a fractional side view, showing sectionally, the fur treating elements of my machine. 1
Fig. 4 is a fractional top view of the elements shown in Fig. 3.
An endless conveyer belt 10, extending from feed or entrance platform 11 to discharge end 12, moves the pelts (which are placed on the belt in front of the feed platform` with their furry sides up) between feed rolls 13 and 14. At least one of these rolls is spring-pressed. Spring 15 is shown pressing feed roll 13 down but either or both rolls may be spring-pressed.
After passing through the feed rolls, the belt moves over guide roll 16 and comes into contact with a cylindrical brush 17. This brush has a comparatively stiff set of bristles attached to its circumferential surface. The bristles are ordinarily of stiff steel wire but of coursey I do not confine myself to any particular type of bristle. The pelt is withdrawn from brush 17 by guide roll 18 which is circuinferentially grooved at re lar intervals. The pelt is brought agamunder bristles on the brushes 17 After being brushed by conveyer belt from roller frame of the machine.

passes between drum 19 and guide roller 21. This roller is corrugated so as to o'er a greater surface contact to the fur.
The fur is maintained in Contact with the means of guide wires 22 attached to brackets 23, 24 which in turn are attached to the Guide roll 16 is supported by a bracket 28 which may be adjusted up and down at any desired distance from brush 17 and held in place by bolt 29. An alternative method is to have roller 16 held similarly to roller 18. This is held in an'adjustable position by means of a pivoted and Aslotted arm 30.
The machine receives its power throughv shaft 31 which obtains its power from an posed to. rotate in aclockwise direction. Pulleys 32, 33 and belt 34 (shown in dotted lines) connect the shaft 31 to the brush 17. Arrows 35 show the direction of the motion of the belt which is'in opposition to the momember or guide roller is rotated by frictional contact with the conveyer belt 10.
The fur now comes into contact with a second and smaller cylindrical brush 20. The bristles used on this brush are finer and less stiff than are those used on brush 17. The
and 20 may be ar 60' ranged uniformly as on ordinary rotary brushes or 1n helical groups as shown so as to give a more dlverse action .to the fur.
brush 20 the fur 16 to roller 21 by The fur now passes around drum 19 until it is pressed between-ironing roll 25, which is heated, and the drum 19. There the fur is subjected to an ironing action which also gives the fur a, lustre. A roll 26 may cause the fur to be temporarily/withdrawn from the ironing roll 25 but it returns to the ironing roll 25 and receives another heat moves the fur on to the discharge end 12 where thepelts a're taken oif the conveyer belt 10 by an operator or are allowed to fall into a container.
The conveyer may have one or`more iiaps 27 .under which a small portion of the front end of the pelt may be placed. This ap prevents the fur'fromslipping while being 2 shaft 31 is supof the'brushes 17 10 Sprocket wheels 36, 37 and chainS .conneet counter=shait 39 to main shajt' 3i, and counter-shat 40 is connected `to countershaft. 39 by chain 41and its sprocket wheels.
Counter-shaft I40 through chain 42, turns a roll 43 which frictionally engages the conveyer belt and causes it to move as shownby fthe arrows. Shaft 40 also revolves ironing L roil through chain or belt 44. .10`
L? Ironing roll 25 may be rotated in the direction as the conveyer-.belt by removing chain 44 and connecting cylinder 43 'and the4 ironing roll 25 by means of pulleys'alid a belt twisted 180?, The ironing roll is supported as shown by two pivoted arms 45 soithat the ironing roll may be swung clear ofthe beltA as shown by the dotted lines.
y Referring to Fig. l showing the lefthand side'of my machine, shaft 39 turns the brush 20 by belt 46 and also turns shaft 47 through z chain 48. Shaft 4?'by' chain'49 rotates guide rolls -luand 2l against the motion of theconveyer belt 10.
Under the feed orventrance platform 11 roller 59 holds the conveyer belt 10 in such a position as to best receive the pelts from pearance and feel l tration I have shown it.as

The irening roll 25- may be heated by any convenient means. Fon the ui'pose of illusa gas burner 'placed within thel roll, but I do not confine myself to any particular method of'heatig.
Under actual test this machine has treated urs and has given them a beautiful smoothness and lustre. In factit is possible to treat very rough and unattractive pelts by this' method and produce a fur jhaving 'the apof line elxpensivefurs.
