Patented Aug. 1933' l I ED ir-is PATENT "OFFICE a 9 37 MARKINGMACHINE Philip wotsier, San Francisco, Calif. Application January'21,1932. Serial No. 587,936 iciaim's. 01. 33 -361} This inventionrelates to a machine for placing marks as indicia on material so that the indicium bears a predetermined relationship to the width of the material f 5 The invention has been used withparticular success in providing indicia on continuous roll towels which are dispensed from dispensing .15 1 invention as applied to the "marking of .toweling,
altho it is useful for the marking of other articles or materials. I
It is an object of the'pres'ent invention to provide a machine for placingindicia on towel.-
.20 ing in a simple and practical manner during manufacture thereof. 7
Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine for placing a series of a desired indicium upon a length of material in strip form, as toweling, so that the series are placed in a predetermined relationship on the bias of the 'toweling.
Another object ofthe present invention is to 3 devise a machine for placing an indiciuni ,on
tends diagonally between opposite corners of each towel. i
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the 3 foregoing, will appear in the following disclosure of the preferred form of marking machine of my invention'shown in the drawing accompanying and forming a part thereof. In'said'-'draw'- v 1ng c i Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my machine; .1 Fig. 2 is a plan View of mymachine;
Fig.3 is a View, partly .in' section, takenalong the line 3--3 of Fig. 2; and V v Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side View of the machine. o
In the, preferred form of machine I'shown in the drawing, numerals 3 an'dfi4 designate'fopg posite sides of the end of frame 5 of a loom' (not shown) upon which toweling 6 is manufactured. The machine can, of course, be provided sepa rately from-the loom and in fact need not. be cooperatively associated with the loom at all as the indicia can beaapplied -to towelsfand towelingj afterfmanufact and s a by. a w -purveyor,
a length of toweling so that theindicium ex of a' portionj Roller 7 is carried by shaft 8 rotatably mounted in bearings 9 carried by frame 5; The towel passes over the roller to be subsequently handled ascdesired. cooperatively adjacent roller '7, a slidablecarriage, generally designated as 11, is positioned. Carriage 11 includes arms '12 between'which a member '13 is secured.
Carriage 11 is mounted so that die ring 16 is normally maintained by theweight of the carriage in contact withthe surface ofvthe toweling passing over roller 7, arms 12 including atone end thereof bearings 19 by'which arms .12 are hingedvon rod 20 positioned between frame sides 3 and 4. Arms 12 are slotted asat 15 at the other end thereof. so that the arms are guided by rod 21 but are free therefrom'to the extent that carriage 11 can be oscillated about rod 20' 35 -to remove thering .16fromcontact with the marking means transversely over the toweling during advance of the toweling over roller 7 and I therefore mount screw 22 for rotation in bear- 0 ing blocks 23.
the collar 31, rod 29 is moved and wedges 24 raise bearing blocks 23 to lift both ends of screw 22. When the carriage reaches the left hand end of rod 29 and contacts with collar 31, thewedges are withdrawn and both ends of screw 22 are lowered.
While screw 22 is driven by gears 32 removably secured to the screw, and gear 33, removably sescrew passes thru member 13 and contacts therewith when the wedges lift the bearing blocks for the screw.
Rotation of screw 22 is selectively effective to move carriage 11 across toweling on roller 7. Thus, bell crank 34 is hinged on member 13 and includes finger 35 adapted to engage screw 22. A link 36 ishinged on bell crank 34 and spring 3'7 is positioned between arm 25 at the end of link 36and bell crank 34 to provide a toggle-mechanism which can be actuated to move finger 35 A member 38 is extended for only sliding movement thru member 13. Member 38 includes slotted portion 39 which engages the end of link 36 to actuate the toggle-mechanism, the movement of member 38, and consequently the movement of the toggle-mechanism is limited by stops 40 on member 38. Movable flanges 41 are secured to screw 22 adjacent either end thereof, depending on the width of toweling. These collars are enigaged' by member 38 and move the memberto actuate the'togglemechanism.
"A cable 42 is attached to the carriage and passed over pulley 43 to a Weight 44. This biases the carriage toward the left hand end of z the screw. 40
In operation, with toweling advanced over roller '7 and with roller 7 rotating, carriage 11 is set at the'side of the towel on the left hand side of the machine. Member 38 engages the flange 41, on that side of the machine, to cause toggle mechanism to engage finger 35 with screw 22. Gears 32 and 33 drive the screw and with finger I 35 engaged, move the carriage across the toweling, the ring 16 being pressed onto the toweling by the weight of the carriage to. print the desired indicium on the toweling. Ink roller 18 supplies ink to the die ring as it rotates duringtravel over the toweling. Gears 32 and 33 and screw 22 are so related that carriage 11 is moved transversely of the toweling atsuch a rate that the mark placed by ring 16 extends continually from one side of the towel diagonally to the other side on the bias of the towel, the face of the ring 16 corresponding substantially to the angle of the diagonal. I
When the carriage approaches the other end of the screw, member 38 engages the roller 41 j and arm 12 engages a collar 30 on rod 29 to screw and the carriage 11.
slide the rod and forces wedges 24 to raise the At the instant that the carriage is lifted and the die ring 16 is free of the toweling, the toggle mechanism raises finger 35 and the carriage'is pulled by weight 0 angle to the longitudinal axis of the toweling.
Sliding movement of the carriage finally brings the arm 12 into engagement with the other collar 31 on rod 29 and causes the rod to slide and move the wedges and lower the screw 33 and carriage 11. The ink carrying die ring 16 is thus kept clear of the toweling during returnacross the toweling and is automatically lowered to begin placing another diagonal indicium.
As the carriage encounters stops 40, member 38 engages the other flange 41 to reset the toggle mechanism and lower the finger 35 into engage 'ment with the screw. Because of the spring in the. toggle mechanism, the toggle can be reset even tho the finger cannot enter the screw thread until the screw rotates for nearly a ing to place a diagonal indicium thereon.
While I have disclosed the placing of the indicia on the toweling by an ink roller, the indicia can also be placed by sewing it into the toweling, or sewing a colored tape on the toweling. The sewing machine can be carried by the carriage 11' or can be fixed and the toweling moved past the machine. The ink diering is, however, simple and effective and places a desired indicium on the toweling at the angle desired so that the indicium extends diagonally from one corner to another corner, at the opposite end of the towel. When the toweling is manufactured and comes from the loom in a substantially continuous'length, the machine of my invention automatically places the indicium diagonally of the toweling and over the predetermined length of the towel subsequently out from the length of toweling, as appears in Fig. 1.
Various changes in mechanical detail can be made without departing from my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure as Letters Patent is- 1. In a machine of the class described, a roller for supporting an advancing strip of material, a slidable carriage positioned cooperatively adjacent said roller, screw means for moving said carriage upon advance of said strip, means on said carriage for applying a mark to said strip, and means for driving said screw means in accordance with advance of said strip so that said applying means applies a mark on the bias of said strip for'a predetermined length thereof.
2. In a machine of the class described, means for supporting an advancing strip of material, a slidable' carriage positioned cooperatively adjacent said support means, means biasing said carriage toward one side of said sheet, screw means for moving said carriage upon advance of said strip toward the. other side of said strip, means on saidcarriage for applying a mark to said strip, means on said carriage engaging said screw means and retaining said carriage against the bias of said baising means during movement of said carriage toward said other side of said strip, and means for driving said screw means. "3.In a machine of the class described, means for supporting an advancingstrip of material, a slidable carriage positioned cooperatively adjacent said support means, means biasing said carriage toward one side of said sheet, screw means formoving said carriage upon advance of said strip toward'] the other side of said strip, means on said carriage for applying a mark to jacent said support means, means biasing said carriage toward one side of said sheet, screw means for moving said carriage upon advance of i said strip toward the other side of said strip, means on said carriage for applying a mark on said strip, and means on said carriage engaging said screw means and retaining said carriage against the. bias of said biasing means during movement of said, carriage toward said other side of said strip, said engaging means including toggle mechanism, a spring biasing said mechanism 'to maintain said engaging means selectively in or out of contact with said screw means, and means to engage said toggle mechanism at either end of said screw means to actuate said mechanism to secure selective connection of said engaging means and said screw means.
