Referring in; detail to the drawings, the present. apparatus comprises an elevated table 5 having an elevated platform 6 constructed'along onesideof and below the'same, steps 1 being provided at one end of the'platform 'fi to'facilitate ascension of the operator to the platform 6. Suitably arranged upon "the. floor beneath the table '5 is'a' mcuntingfi for receiving the supply roll 8 of sheeting. The matform .6 extends inwardlyunder thetable 5, and a guide roller I0 is jour-naled at the' forward. end of this portion of the platform Arranged beneath the table sane above the "platform 6eare a series of shelves 1:!" havlng guide rollers 21!:jourrialed at opposite ends.
roller l-2 rearwardly of the frame M, the sheeting extends upwardly and then forwardly between the'fee'd rollers 15'. In passing from the roll 9 to -the feedroll'ers' I5 in this way, the sheeting is fed forwardly toward the rear end-'o'f table 5, in a irsmooth ,1 or 'unwrinkled con'dition; Ar-ranged between the feed rollers IS'and the'rearvend of table 5is'ta'trough 19 'in which the sheeting may gather-as'atifl to provide a reserve supply from which the sheeting "may "be: drawn for marking and tearing into strips of desired'lengths while on' th'e table "5' and'rby means 'oi an operator standing on the platform 6 beside and near the forward: end' "of said table 5. To facilitate mark.- ing andtearing ot-the sheeting into strips or the desireddiangth; a suitable marking device 2-! is mounted upon theta'ble 5 near its rear'end, and
a conventional knife 22'is mounted near the for ward end of-table 5 along, the edge thereof for slitting thef'edge'of "the sheeting preparatory to manual tearing of 'the'same by the operator. The knife122 'isa'djustably mountedas at 23 for adjustment longitudinally of 'th'e "table and relative to the marker 2| so that the length of'the sheet" strips may be varied according to the length of sheets it is desired to'produce.
Hinged to the fforwardendof table 5 is a leaf 24"norma'lly a'dapted to gravitate to a lowered position as shown by dotted lines in Figure-3 anda-dapted'to be manually raised'and held-into a'horizontal position-coextensive with the table 5 as shown irrFigure 3. The elevation of'leaf' 24 isadaptedtobe effected by the operator standing on' thegplatform 6; by suitable means such as a foot'lever-15 operatively connected with leaf 21 at one side of the latter by means of a cable 26-;extending-alongguide rollers Hand 28' and inclination are" supporting rails -32 coextensive with the conveyor belts 29 and carried by suitable.
maximum amount of waste will be 8 inches. In
actual operation, let us assume a defectappears in the c1oth,.0n the shelf and at a point thereon where the reading is 945 inches, the operator may tear six 108 inch sheets and three 99 inch sheets,
or, five 99 inch sheets and five 90 inchsheets from this point or reading, and thereby tear out the defect with a minimum loss of cloth. At no 10 time will this loss exceed 8 inches; 1 I
From the. foregoing description, it will be seen that I have provided a very simple, efficient and 1 highly useful apparatus of the character described which will enable the production of sheet forming strips in considerable quantity and in an expeditious'manner with the employment of a minimum amount of manual labor.
Minor changes in the detail of construction illustrated and described are contemplated such as fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. What I claim asnew is: v 1 w l. A sheet apparatus of .the character. de-' scribed comprising an elevated table having an elevated platform arranged along one'sidesof and below the same, means for feeding sheetingto one end' of said table,a strip folding leaf hinged for vertical swinging movement .toand at the other end of said table, means to elevate the leaf to a horizontal position" coextensive: with said table, conveying means extending forwardly from said leaf and adapted to contain a sheet strip supporting bar transversely of the table in a po-" sition forwardly of the latter and the leaf, whereby'strips of sheeting torn upon the table may v be fed forwardly over the supporting bar and folded over the. latter "by dropping said leaf.
' 2. A sheet apparatus. of the character ]described comprising an elevated table having an 0 elevated platform arranged along oneside of and below the same, means forfeeding sheeting .to one end of said table,= a strip folding leaf .hinged for vertical swinging movement to and at the other end of said table, means to elevate the leaf to a horizontal position coextensive with said table, conveying means extending forwardly from said leaf and adapted to contain. asheet strip supporting bar transversely of the'table in a position forwardly of the latter and theleaf, whereby strips 'of sheeting. torn upo-nthe table may'be' fed forwardlyover the supporting barand folded over the latter by dropping said leaf, the feeding means for the sheeting including power driven feed rollers disposed rearwardly of and in spaced relation to the table, and .a troughinterposedbetween the table and said feed rollers wherein the sheet may accumulate and fold to afford a reserve supply of sheeting from, which the latter may be drawn onto the table preparatory to tearingthe same into strips of desired length.
3. A sheet apparatus of the'character described comprising an elevated table having an elevated platform arranged along one side: of and below the same, means for feeding sheeting toone 'end of said table, a strip folding leaf hinged for vertical'swinging movement to and at the other'end of said table, means to elevatethe leaf to a horizontal position coextensive with said table; conveyingmeans extending forwardly from said leaf and adapted to contain a sheet strip supporting bar transversely of the table in a position forwardly of'the latter and the leaf, whereby strips ofsheeting torn upon the table may be fed forwardly over the supporting bar and folded over the latter by dropping :said leaf, the, feeding means for the sheeting including power driven feed rollers disposed rearwardly of and in spaced relation to the table, and a trough interposed between the table and said feed rollers wherein the sheet may accumulate and fold to afford a reserve supply of sheeting from which the latter may be drawn onto the table preparatory to tearing the same into strips of desired length, a marker for the sheeting provided on the table near its rear end portion, and a sheeting slitting knife mounted along an edge of the table near its forward end, said knife being adjustable longitudinally of the table relative to th marker.
4. A sheet apparatus of the character described comprising an elevated table having an elevated platform arranged along one side of and below the same, means for feeding sheeting to one end of said table, a strip folding leaf hinged for vertical swinging movement to and at the other end of said table, means to elevate the leaf to a horizontal position coextensive with said table, conveying means extending forwardly from said leaf and adapted to contain a sheet strip supporting bar transversely of the table in a position forwardly of the latter and the leaf, whereby strips of sheeting torn upon the table may be sheet strip supporting bars after being shifted forwardly by the conveying means, and upon which a number of the sheet strip supporting bars with batches of strips thereon may be stored preparatory to hemming the ends of the strips.
