MACHINE FOR DRESSING SILK ANDOTHER FABRICS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,188, datedDecember 19, 1882,-

Application filed May 26, 1882.

1' all whom it may concern,-

Be it known that I, MAXIME DE GoMBER'r, of Paris, France, have invented an Improved Machine for Dressing Silk and other Fabrics;

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 the same.

This invention relates to machines for dressing or stiffening silk or other fabrics.

The invention consists of a trough of copper or other suitable material to contain the size or other liquid with which the fabric is to be dressed, in combination with a frame and I5 with a rotating winder, arranged and operated as hereinafterdescribed.

The invention is illustrated, by way of example,in the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 represents a sectional side elevation of my improved machine; Fig. 2, a sectional end View, and. Fig. 3 a plan, of the said machine. Fig. 4 shows part of the trough and one loose roller in seotion,to illustrate how the fabric is placed when being passed a first time through the machine. Fig. 5 is a crosssection through the rollers of the Windin g mechanism to show the method of engaging the fabric on the winding device; and Fig. 6 is a section through the same rollers to illus- 0 trate their position when the fabric is to be removed from the winder.

The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.

a is a trough or trough-like vessel, made of 5 metal or other substance, and supported on a 5 outside of their hearings in the supporting frame have placed upon them wheels It; 7:, which gear with similar wheels (also marked it k) on (No model.)

| a shaft, 1, that carries a crank-handle, i, all as clearly shown in the drawings. The following is the operation of the machine: The fabric is first placed in folds at the rear end of trough a, as in Fig. 4, below the roller b,- thenoe it passes over the loose roller 1) and around the series of rollers c, which guide it in its passage through the trough. On leaving these rollersthe fabric is led upward to the rollers-(Z d, which rollers are carried by the arms 0 e. The fabric is passed around the upper rollers 61, and its end h brought down so as to be nipped against 1 is now revolved the length of fabric is drawn through the dressing in the trough, beingheld in the size by the rollers c c, and wound around the rollers 61 d. The fabric can then be transferred to another machine to undergo a similar treatment; or it may be passed a second however, the fabric is not placed in the same position in the trough as before, for in this case the two rollers 61 are first brought into a horizontal plane, as in Figs. 2 and 3, and the caps fof arms e are raised by releasing the locking-screws g to allow of the rollers: 61 d being lifted out with the fabric wound thereon. The rollers are then held in the position Fig. 6 by an attendant, and the roller 11 is passed through the rollof fabric, and afterward, with the fabric thereon, dropped into its bearings. The two rollers d d are then replaced in their bearings. The free end of the fabric is then nipped by said rollers 61 as before, and the operation repeated. The fabric when it leaves the rollers is in form of a flattened tube, and may then be put in a wrapper for conveyance to the drying-machine. a

t The form and arrangement of the various parts of the machine may be varied without departing from the invention.

While the machine is in operation the fabric will be held stretched by the revolving rollers d d and rollers c and b, so as tolbe thoroughly exposed at all its parts to contact with the contents of the vessel to. The result will thelower roller d, asin Fig. 5. When the shaft time through thesamemachine, in which case, l

be a fabric sized more thoroughly than when stantially as described, for revolving the arms exposed in folds orslack to the contents of the e, as set forth.
