CATGHING DEVICE FOR CLOTH LAYING MACHINES Application filed November 16, 1929. Serial No. 407,672.
This invention relates to improvements in a catcher for cloth laying machines, and has for its object a catcher used in conjunction with a cloth laying machine by which the V layers of cloth are automatically gripped and held while the machine is being directed to the opposite end of the table on which the cloth is to be piled.
The cloth laying machines are used in establishments where cloth is piled to a certain height and from which certain patterns are cut for building clothing of predetermined sizes, the entire pile being cut of the same size of garment.
in The catchers are positioned at each end of a long table, and as the laying machine is advanced from one end of the table to the other, the catcher grips the cloth and holds it in position until the pile is of a height desired.
My improvement makes it possible to hold the cloth in a straight and even pile, and as the pile comes to a height beyond the catcher mechanism, it is elevated above the pile,
a5 and the action continued.
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my complete invention, showing the same in operation.
Figure 2 is a top plan View of the same.
Figure 3 is a side view showing the same elevated above the pile of cloth already laid.
Figure 4 is a side view of my invention, showing the same in relative position with the laying machine.
'35 Figure 5 is a detail perspective View of the catcher clamping mechanism used.
In the general construction of my invention I provide a fastening or anchor plate 6 which is securely fastened to the top of a table 7 To this plate is attached two arms 8 pivoted to the plate at the point indicated by the numeral 9, the opposite ends of said arms being pivotally connected to across rod 10, and said arms are also attached at the point 11 to a trough 12, consisting of a bottom plate 13 and two side tapering portions 14.
The tapered side portions 14 are designed to act as an elevating means for the cloth carrying rollers 15 of the cloth laying machine, and the mode of travel is clearly illustrated in Figures 1 and 4 of the drawings.
The rod or cylindrical member 10 is provided with a plurality of short arms 16 to which is attached a clamping bar 17. which is designed to come in contact with and grip the layers of the cloth 18 as they are piled up by the laying machine.
This rod 10 is also provided with two arms 19 with which contacts the frame of the laying machine, and when contacted with the rod is partially rotated, and the clamping bar 17 elevated so that the cloth may pass in the trough, and on the return movement of the carriage of the laying machine, the bar 17 contacts with the cloth gripping it and holding the same as is shown by dotted lines in Figure 1 of the drawings.
The clamping or gripping mechanism of the catcher is brought and held in contact with the cloth by the spring 20.
As the pile of cloth becomes built up to a height beyond the entrance of the trough 12, the operator then raises the trough above the pile of cloth as shown in Figure 3, then the process of laying the cloth is continued until the required height of the pile is desired.
The laying machine may be of any desired construction, just so that the laying frame may be provided with wheels to ride up on the inclined sides of the trough, and the frame carrying the wheels may be constructed adjustable in accordance with the increasing pile of the cloth laid on the table.
I use this form of catcher in conjunction 85 with my former Letters Patent on cloth laying machines, Numbers 912,738, Feb. 16, 1909, 1,936,011, August 20, 1912, and 1,516,212, Nov. 18, 1924.
Having fully described my invention what 90 I claim is:
1. A catcher for cloth laying machines comprising a cloth receiving trough tiltingly mounted on a table, a cloth clamping means tiltingly supported within the trough, and 951 a means carried by the clamping meansfor tilting the same for the admission of the Eloih within the clamp, substantially as speci- 2. A catcher of the class described, com- 100 prising a cloth receiving trough, arms extending therefrom and pivotally connected to a table top, a clamping bar axially mounted in the walls of the trough, arms projecting from the bar for tilting the clamping means for the admission of cloth between the same and the bottom of the trough, substantiallyas specified. v e
3. A catcher of the character described,
comprising a trough for the reception of cloth, arms extending from said trough, said arms hingedly connected to a base plate by which the catcher is secured to a table top, a shaft axially mounted in the trough, arms radiating therefrom, a clamping bar connected to said shaft, a pair of extending arms attached to said shaft and against which rollers of a cloth laying machine are brought in contact to raise the barto permit the cloth to pile up thereunder, and a means for re turning the bar againstthe top of said pile of cloth when the rollers are removed from contact, substantially as specified.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of Nov. 1929;
CHARLES C. SCHNEIDER.
