May 27, 1930. E. e. JEBSEN FABRIC TRADE MARKING DEVICE Filed Sept. 4, 1928 Patented I May 27, 1930 UNITE sTA'rss ERIK GILBERT J'E'BSEN, OF KRISTIANSAIID,
NORWAY, ASSIGNOR TO CURTIS 85 MARBLE MACHINE COMPANY, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSA- CHUSETTS FABRIC-TRADEQMARKING DEVICE Application filed September This invention relates to an attachment designed particularlyfor the purposes of trademarking cloth as it is being folded but capable of use for applying a stamp, brand, date or design to any kind of textile material and adapted to be applied to' various kinds of machines.
The principal objects of the invention are to provide for stamping or trade-marking the fabric while being folded or otherwise manipulated, thus saving one handling and reducing the labor cost; to provide for the application of the stamp or trade-mark while the cloth is without any progressive movement; to provide an arrangement by which the stamping or trade-marking will be-performed at' regular intervals, as for examplea yard apart or half ayard, as maybe desired, irrespective of any stretching of the fabri The invention isfshown' in theform of an attachment to a particular machine, but it, is to be understood that a corresponding attachment can be applied to other machines and that the particular kind of folding machine illustrated is shown only to illustrate one method of employing the invention.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a cloth folding machine with an attachment for trade-marking the cloth in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan of the attachment showing how the trade-mark can be applied;
Fig. 3 is an edge View of the same; and
Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line fir-'4 of Fig. 2. M
It is the common practice in the textile industry to trade-mark the fabric or make any desired imprint upon it or a yardage marl: as an entirely separate and distinct operation requiring the handling of the fabric especially for that purpose and putting it through a separate machine. During the various handling or packing processes the fabric is liable to become distorted in length on account of receiving different tensions on the several machines, or by varying atmospheric condi- 4, 1928.

tions causing a difierence in the length of the fabric by the contraction or elongation of the warp threads. This invention is designed to combine the folding and stamping in one machine, thus entirely eliminating one handling of the goods'and even reducing the cost of the stamping part of the apparatus. Fur thermore, the stamping is made during the final mechanical process at each fold of the finished fabric,'thus giving a more accurate determination of the measurements of the fabric than would be obtained by previous practice, due to the difierent tensions just mentioned or varying atmospheric conditions. I For the purpose of illustrating the'application of this invention, Lhaveshown itas applied to a folding machine comprising a frame 10, a folding table 11, which,by means not shown in fulhbut comprising the mechanism 12, is raised and lowered at eachoperation inthe ordinary manner. "The mechanism 12 for operatingthe platform 11 is controlled from the main-shaft 19v of theffolding machine by a'cam 8 and alever 7 This machine is provided with a guide 13 around which the fabric to be folded is drawn over tension rolls 14 anda delivery roll 15 and delivered to the folding head. This head is connected by a link 17 with an" arm 18 ing continuously. v The head is also pivoted on a rod or frame 20 which is pivoted below.
so 7 mountedfon the driving shaft 19 and rotatv The head is pivotally connected by a blade rod 21 at the point 22 with a stationary frame 23. This head carries the folding blades 24.
The rotationof the arm- 18, gives the head a definite path of .motion across the fold ing table 11 onaccount of the pivots connected with the frame 20and the rod 21 at each forward stroke of the blades. It brings the. folding blades 24 down under aja'w 25 at each side of the folding table as'the blades 25L move across to'that point." This clamp or jaw holds thefold down in the usual way and the cloth is folded back and forthacross the table while the table descends and rises to receive it andl hold it. The operation of this folding machine has been described only in a sketchy manner becauseit is alliold and ice no invention is claimed in this folding machine.
On the guide 131 locate a casing 30 in stationary position. This is so located that the fabric 9 passes under it as it moves along from the tension device 14 to the roll 15'. The fabric is backed up underneath by this guide 13. The stamping, yardage, or trademarking device may be of any desired character andI have shown one of well known form having a plunger 31 carrying an ink pad 32 and adapted to move down for the purpose of oscillating a printing head 33 from the position' in contact with the inkpad'sho-wn in Fig. 4 toan exactly reverse position in which the inking head is in contact with the cloth 9, preferably on the selvage. This head is reversed by a couple of stationary pins 34 while the plunger and printing head move downwardly. The printing head is guided in a vertical slot 35 by means of a pin 36 projecting from the head.
It will be observed that the cloth is first drawn over the table '11 alternately by a forward stroke of the blades and repeated on the return stroke. Until the blades reach a point nearly over the center ofthe folding table, on the return stroke, the cloth remains station ary as it is folded and is gripped under one of the jaws 25. v v
. It will be seen that the shaft 19 by the operation of the arm 18 fixed thereon controls absolutely the time at which this dwell ofthe cloth takes place. Consequently a cam 37 on this shaft is fixed in just the right position so that it will operate a lever 38 connected to operate the plunger 31 to depress it at just the time that the dwelltakes place. As each dwell is governedby the length ofthe stroke of the folding blades, this impression will occur at regular intervals and will act as a determining factor in establishing the meas urement of each fold; a i v Of course the attachment can be used as shownwith one unitto mark or impress the proved and the cost reduced. The farbric in its folded condition is ready for the market and it is usual to determine by the number of folds the exact yardage measurement of the fabric, no other measuring system being used.
Although I have illustrated the invention as applied to a single type of machine and as employing a particular type of stamping device, I am aware ofthe fact that the invention can be carried out with other forms of either Without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
Therefore, I do not wish to tbe limited in either respect, but what I do claim is 1. The combination with a fabric folding machine adapted to fold the fabric back and forth and leave the same amount of cloth in each fold, of a reciprocable printing attachment therefor connected with the mechanism for controlling the folding of the cloth and timed therewith to stamp the cloth once for each complete fold and at the same position in each fold. V i
2. The combination with a fabric folding machine having means for feeding the fabric intermittently of a stamping device mounted thereon and connected with the machine to apply a stamp to the selvage of-the fabric when the passage of the fabric through the machine is interrupted to provide aslack or dwell and leave the cloth temporarily stationary. r a
3. The combination with a fabric handling machine comprising a main shaft having means thereon for controlling the operation of feeding and folding the fabric back and forth, of a stamping device on said machine, and means on said shaft for actuating said stamping device during that portion of the H intermittent movement when the cloth is devoid of progressive motion.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature. a 1 v ERIK G. JEBSEN.
cloth at each fold or two or more attachments I can be used to sub-divide the distances be tween the dwells. Thus with the folding machine set to make a yard at each swing of the jaws, two stampingattachments can be placed on a guide eighteen inches apart, thus 7 marking the fabric at each half yard.
By the application of the attachment or i adjustment to a folding machine or other ma chine performing its usual functions in the usual way, the handlingof the} fabric to take it from such a folding machine and introduce it into a stamping on tradermarkmachine is entirely eliminated." Furthermore, by co ordinating the operation of the stamping device with the operation ofthe folding. mechanism it is insured that the marks will be applied at equal 'distance apa rt on the fabric and theywillmark the'fabric with yard or half'y'ard'lengths. Thus the product is im-
