i' nein-(Rien ai'nnnns, onnAivNovnnyrnuss'ini,
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it'known that I, HEINRICH ALBERs, of Hannover, in the Kingdom of Prussia, i have invented certain Improvements in Clothes- Mangles, of which the following is a specification:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for mangling or smoothing clothes or fabrics; and it consists in the construction and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and then set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, Figure Vl is an end elevation of a clothes-mangle constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse central section. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal horizontal section. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section. Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 are detail views of the vertically-movable rack-bar and means for operating the same.
The letter A denotes a frame, which is provided with two parallel top rails, a a', on which runs a reciprocating feed-table, b. The latter is generally made of hard Wood, and has four metallic wheels, c, which run easily on said rails. Motion is given to the table by means of a balance or fly wheel, d, having a suitable hand-crank or other means for communicating motion, and a spur-wheel, f, on its shaft. Said spur-wheel meshes into a pinion, f fitted on a shaft, fi, which runs in boxes. g on the frame A, and has at its inner end a spur-wheel, m. The table has pendent arms or hangers b', which are made hollow, and provided with a vertical slot for receiving the ends of a rackbar, n, into which meshes the spur-Wheel m of the shaft fi.
The object of this construction is to give to Vthe rack-bar a vertical movement, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.
Above the feed-table is located a transverse mangling or pressing roller, o, which is journaledin movable boxes arranged in vertical standards of the frame.` A transverse bar, q, having pins p entering the journal -boxes, serves to press the roller upon the table. The necessary pressure is produced bythe levers r r and connecting-rods and arms s s', which arms carry Weights Gr. All the parts men- I tioned form .alweigfhted or pressure-exerting fframe. The pressure is taken oif the roller by raising the weighted frame. 'This is done by means-0f a lever, o, and acord, t, passing over pulleys u u and attached Ito the weightcarrying bar. Spiral springs w, arranged under the journal-boxes of the roller, serve to raise the latter when the weighted frame does not bear upon the same, and thus the clothes or fabrics can be conveniently placed imder the roller.
The mangling operation is performed by moving the table back and forth, which is effected by the operating mechanism already described. The pressing-roller is rotated by frictional contact with the table or fabric placed thereon. The rack-bar is made vertically movable, so that the spur-wheel engaging therewith will iirst move on the top of the same to effect the movement of the table in one direction. In the return movement of the ltable the spur-wheel slips under the rack, and
Atable boxes or receptacles w', for receiving the unfinished and finished ends of the fabrics.
A mangle embodying my improvements is perfect in its operation and simple in construction, and will enable the fabric to be inspected during its passage through the apparatus, so that creases or folds will be noticed by the operator, and the fabrics or goods pressed or mangled in a perfect or thorough manner.
It will be apparent that the rack-bar, upon having reached the limit of its movement in one direction, will be raised by the pin H gliding upon the curved face of the stop-piece F, so as to enable the driving-pinion m, which is fitted instationary bearings, to slip under the rack-bar, and thus cause the latter and the carriage connected therewith to move in an opposite direction., The operation of the parts is morefullyillustrated in Figs 7 and 8 of the drawing.
I am aware of the existence of a mechanical movement termed a mangle-rack, in which a reciprocating movement is imparted to a rack-bar by means of a driving-pinion tted in movable bearings, so as to operate on the top and bottom of the rack and move the same in: opposite directions. I also disclaim the idea of operating the feedecarriage of a clothesmangling machine by means of a double rack and pinion, and conne myself to the special construction of devices hereinafter claimed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire 4to secure by'Letters Patent, is f Y 1. Ina clothes-mangle, the combination of a reciprocating feed-table, having slotted or grooved guides or. hangers, the vertically-ad- Y l A HELNRIGH ALBERS,
