W. H. TUPPER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

POUNCING- HAT-BODIES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 26,182, dated November 15, 1859i.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, W. H. Turrini, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful `Apparatus or Device for Pouncing Hat-Bodies, and I do` hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l, is a vertical section of my invention, taken in the line m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2, a side View of the same. Fig. 3, a horizontal section taken in the line y, y, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

'lo enable those skilled in the art to fully understand, use and construct my invention I will proceed to describe it.

A, represents a framing constructed or arranged in any proper way to support a shaft or mandrel B, on one of which a cone C, of wood or other suitable material is placed.

D, is a framing which supports a shaft or mandrel E, having on one end a hollow conel F. The apex or smaller end of the hollow cone F, is attached to the shaft or mandrel E, but the base or larger end of the cone C, is attached to its shaft or mandrel B, see Fig. 3.

The interior of the hollow cone F, and the solid cone C, are about equal in capacity, so

. that a hat-body that may be fitted on cone C, may be received within the hollow cone F, see more particularly Fig. 3, in which a hat-body G, is shown in red.

H, is a tube the orifice of which is in line with the apex or inner end of the interior of the hollow cone. This tube H, communicates with a fan box or any wind generating device. The orifice vof tube H, is at some distance from the outer end of the hollow cone F, as shown plainly in Fig. l.

The operation is as follows The cones C, F, are made to rotate at high velocity, about 1200 revolutions per minute. The body G, is placed on the cone C, and the attendant or operator then presses sand paper on the body which rotates with the cone C, the outer side of the body being smoothed and perfectly dressed thereby. The body G, is then placed within the cone F, and is retained therein by the blast from tube H, the

operator pressing sand paper against the inner surface of the body. The blast from tube H, also removes dust, fibers, etc., from within the body G, in cone F, as said body is being operated on at its inner side. The tube H, may also be applied to cone C, for the same purpose as applied to cone F.

The axes of the cones may be in any position, but probably a horizontal position would be preferable.

What Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The employment Aof an air blast to cleanse -and hold the body G, within the hollow cone F, while the said body is being rotated and pounced as herein shown and described.
