UNITED STATES P MATERIAL-ROLLING MECHANISM.
Application filed July 25, 1823. Serial No. 653,795.
My invention relates to an improved material rolling mechanism, and has particular reference to a machine for rolling cloth towels. The present method of rolling the long towels used by the commercial towel service companies is to collect them in boxes from the flat work ironer and to transport them to a separate machine, where they are rolled one at a time.
The object of my invention is to provide a rolling mechanism which will roll the material as it. comes directly from the ironer, with no intermediate handling.
Another object is to provide a rolling.
mechanism which is simple in construction and operation.
Other advantages and objects will be more specifically pointed out in the following detailed description. 7
In the annexed lrawing in which my invention is illustrated, I have shown the preferred form of my invention, but it may also be embodied in other forms, and in this application I desire to cover my invention in whatever form it may be embodied.
Figure 1 is a plan view of my mechanism and a small portion of a flat work ironer.
Figure 2 is a side view of one of the spools used in my device.
The out-feeding roller 2 of a flat work ironer, ed on a shaft 3, which is journaled in the frame of said ironer.
My rolling machine consists of a rear shaft 4, which extends transversely of the ironer and is journaled in standards 5, which are preferably secured to the said ironer. A forward shaft 6 is mounted in standards 7 forwardly of the shaft 4 and parallel thereto.
The shaft 3 and the roller 2 receive rotary motion from the flat work ironer. The shaft 4 is rotated from the shaft 3 and at the same speed by a chain 10, which travels over sprockets on said shafts. The shaft 6 is driven at the same speed as the shaft 4 by means of a chain 11 which travels over sprockets on said shafts.
A plurality of knife edged discs 12 and 13 are secured to the shafts 4 and 6 respectively, in alignment and suitably spaced to receive 7 spools 14.
not shown in the drawing, is mounting enough to roll the towel they may be faced with leather or other suitable. material.
Since the shafts 3, 4 and (3 are driven at the same constant speed a certain amount of slippage results in the spool as the diameter of the towel increases thereon, which is taken care of by the frictional contact of the heads 15 and 16 with the discs 12 and 13. The shafts 4 and 6 are so positioned that no separate holding means is required to hold the spool14 in place other than gravity and the forward pull of the towel as it is rolled upon the spool.
It is very advantageous to run the towels through the flat work ironer as close together as possible, so that a minimum of heated surface is nonoperative. With my arrangement of disc drive a very small space is all that isrequired between the spools, which permits the towels to be run through very close together. 1
Having described my invention I claim:
, 1. A towel rolling mechanism comprising a pair of shafts, means to rotate said shafts in the same direction and at the same speed, a plurality of knife edged heads adapted to be mounted on said shafts, a spool comprising a shaft made of two wedge shaped parts having fiat inner faces adapted to contactwith each other, a grooved head secured to the'large end of each of said parts and hava recess therein adapted to receive the small end of the other of said parts, each of said grooved heads being adapted to be supported by one of the heads on each of the first mentioned shafts.
2. A towel rolling'mechanism comprising two parallel shafts, means to rotate said shafts in the same direction at the same speed, a plurality of disks mounted on each of said shafts, said disks being formed at their peripheries into annular edges, a shaft composed of two wedge shaped parts, a grooved head secured to the larger end of a pair of parallel shafts spaced from eac1 other, means for rotating one of said shafts, a plurality of disks fi-xedto said shafts, and a towel-receiving spool having each of its heads provided'with arecess, and the peripheries of its heads adapted to frictionally engage and be rotated by said disks, the core of said spool being formed of two complementary portions each of which has one end secured to one of said heads and its other end seated in the recess in the other head.
