2 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in quilting `frames embodying a. n ovel construction for holding the foundation web of the quilt in a taut position as the quilting progresses. Y
An important object of 'the invention is to provide a rear supply roller for the foundation web slidably mounted on the frame to regulate the size of the working area of the web and providing A further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is eiiicient and reliable in operation, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same -is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan view;
Figure 2 is a side elevational-view;
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken on a line 3-3 of Figure l; and
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on a line 4-'4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a stand generally which .is composed -of a pair of legs 6 having a base structure 'I 'at their lower ends and rigidly connected to each other adjacent their upper ends by a horizontal brace 8.
The inner sides of legs 6 at their upper ends are rabbeted as shown at 9 and provided with bolts and wing nuts I pivotally supporting semicircular plates II formed at the central lower edges of a pair of side rails I2 projecting forwardly and rearwardly of the legs for tiltable movement thereon.
The outer surfaces of rails I2 are formed with T-shaped tracks I3 received in correspondingly shaped slots I4 on the inner surfaces of slides I movable forwardly and rearwardly on the 2 n tracks.. The front portion of each slide I 5 is provided with a pivoted dog'II engaging teeth Il on the upper edges of the Yrails and' constructed to permit a'free rearward sliding movement of the slides `by ratcheting the dog along the teeth and to hold the slides fromfree forward move- The upper portions of slides I5 are formed with longitudinal slots I8 open at their rear ends and in which the endsof a rear supply roller I9 are received for rotation in the slots and held in position in the slots by vertical pins 20 positioned behind the roller.
One end of roller I9 is provided with a ratchet 2| engaged by a pawl 22 pivoted to the outer surface of an adjacent slide I5 by a pin ' 23 and with one end of the pawl extending downwardly. A horizontal pin 24 projects outwardly from the lower end of pawl 22 for selective engagement in notches 25 on the lower edge of a lever 26 which extends forwardly and is slidably supported in a guide 21 at the lower front edge of an adjacent rail I2. A stop 28 on the outer end of pin 24 holds lever 26 resting on the pin.
The front ends of rails I2 are also formed with slots 29 which are open at their front ends for receiving the ends of a front take-olf roller 30 which is also provided with a ratchet 3| engaged by a pawl 32 pivoted to an adjacent rail.
In the operation of the device the customary foundation web 33 is wound on rear supply roller I9 which is then placed in the rear slots I8 of slides I5, the web extending forwardly from the bottom of roller I9 over front roller 30 for winding thereon. The slides I5 are moved longitudinally on rails I2 to expose a desired working area of the web and the slides are held in adjusted position by dogs I 6 engaging teeth |'I on the rails.
The rear roller I9 is held stationary by pawl 22 engaging ratchet 2| and front roller 30 is likewise held stationary by pawl 32 engaging ratchet 3| to thus hold the web 33 taut.
When it is desired to unwind the web from rear roller I9 onto front roller 30, lever 26 is pulled forwardly to release rear pawl 22 and front roller 30 is turned by a handle 34 at one end thereof, the front pawl 32 riding on ratchet 3| during such winding movement of the front roller and rear pawl 22 gravitates into its engagement with ratchet 2| to lock the rear roller after a fresh area of the web has been moved into working position.
The pawl 22 is pivoted above its center so that the lower end of the pawl will swing into a perpendicular position by gravitation to again engage the pawl.
In View of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the device Will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is2,herein shownV and described a preferredfembodiment `of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprer hended by the spirit of the invention as herein`Vr described and the scope of the appended claims; Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A quilting frame compris/'inea standinclud ing a pair of side rails, a slide on eachA rail, means locking the slides in adjusted position on the rails,
a front roller journaled at the front portion of Y the;rails,;.a rear supplysrollerfjournaled .ontne slides forfeedingmebtoathe front roller, and Dvil` and.. :ratchet means for; the rear :rollerin,- cludingapawl on' one slide'rockable intoreleasing meinem-.and -releasingmeansfforffthe ,pawl .comf pris-ing a slidably ,moilnted, lever on onefside rail extending to a position at the front of the stand 4 and having notches therein selectively engageable with said paWl in derent positions of said slide.
2. A quilting frame comprising a stand including a pair of side rails having T-shaped tracks on their outer sides, a grooved slide tting on each track, teeth on the upper edge of each rail, a pivoted dog on the inner side of each slide engaging the teeth to hold the slides in adjusted position on the tracks, a rear supply roller journaled on the slides, a front take-uproller journaled on the rails for Winding a web thereon'fromthe rear roller, and means locking the rollers against un- Wi-nding movement.
