Application May 26 1933. Serial? No. 673,003"
9 Claims.
The mainy objects of this invention areto providea joint or seam -or coupling for drier felts, laundry ironing machine aprons and the like by means of which the ends of the felt or apron may be joined so that the strain upon the felt or.
'apron is minimized' and the pull thereon distributedover a substantial surface and, further, in
a manner that permits the ready attachment of the joint members and inwhich they are s0 joined that the working surface'is not obstructed.
A further object is to provide a structure havingv these advantages inltvhich the joint members maybe prepared in a factory equipped for that purpose and readily applied in a paper millv or laundry or-other place of use.
Objects relating to details and economies of my invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims. l
A structure which isa preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentaryY plan view of a drier felt embodying my improved joint or seam.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal section on a line corresponding to line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective View of one of the seam or joint members.
Fig. 4 is a second perspective View further illustrating the joint member.
in the accompanyingl drawing, 1, 1 represent the parts to be joined, a drier feltA being conventionally illustrated. There are' tvvo joint members for each joint but as these are duplicates, a description of one will suflice.
The joint member or lacing unit comprises a strip of fabric 2, preferably a good quality of canvas, oi a length corresponding to the width of the drier felt or other part to be joined. This lapped upon the sides of the drier felt portion 1. A filler strip or filler 4 is arranged in the fold With its outer edge 5 in abutting engagement With the bight 6 of the strip. This filler strip is of substantial width and is preferably arranged with its inner edge 7 in abutting engagement with ness so that the prongs 8 of the loop-like lacing strip is foldedupon itself, the edge portions ofv the strip providing attaching flaps 3r which are hooks or lacer elements 9 may be embeddedtherein. These vlacing hooks 9 are of Well-knownv type,- andv they are arranged With their arms overlapping opposite sides ofthe folded strip 2 and their prongs embedded therein and in the filler strip 4.
Iy preferably providea row of ,stitches 10 through the fabric and ller strip between the prongs and the edge of the fabric. This results in a very secure connection for the lacing hooks l and the pull on the lacing hooks is not only sustained by the fabric 2 but by the iiller and the pull on this filler is sustained by the bight of the fabric so that the seam members are capable of sustaining very heavy. loads Without tearing, or` the hooks pulling out.
The flaps 3 are preferably attached by through stitches 1l, the result being that a very secure attachment is had through the felt and one which distributes the pull thereon over a substantiall area.
The two seam or joint members are arranged with their hooks in overlapping relation and coupled by the pivot or coupling pin 12. This pivotl pin lies in the central plane of the parts 4joined and therefore the pull thereon is most effectively lpositioned to prevent distortion and to secure the maximum strength. l
The filler strip is of somewhat less'thickness than the part to be joined so that the hooks or metal parts lie Within the planes of the sides of the felt or other parts joined so that the work carried by the felts or aprons is not subjected to undue pressure at the joint. Flaps may be provided to cover the metal parts, ifxdesired. i
With this arrangement of partathe scam members maybe manufactured and the hooks applied in `a factory'equipped for the purpose and sentA out in strips of considerable length to beicut to the desired sise or length for the parts to' be joined. This results in great economy both in the manufacture and in the application of the joint.
Ifhavev not attempted to illustrate or describe various modications or adaptations of my invention which I contemplate as it is'believed that this disclosurewill' enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements as may be desired.
