MACHINE FOR BUNl DLlNG HOOP-IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,686, dated May 29, 1888.

Application filed March 16,1888. Serial No. 267.407. tNo model.) Patented in Germany June 19, 1887, No. 43,056; in England July4,1887, No. 9.447; in Be gium July 4,1887,No. 78,058; in France July 4, 1887, No.184,397, and in Luxemhurg January 12,

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I,WILHELM BANSEN, a subject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, residing at Kattowitz, Upper Silesia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, engineer, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Bundling Hoop-Iron, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Germany,No. 43,056,dated June 19,1887; England, No. 9,447, dated July 4, 1887 Belgium, No. 78,058, dated July 4, 1887; France, No. 184,397, dated July 4, 1887, and Luxemburg, No. 943, dated January 12, 1888.) of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in machines for bundling hoop-iron in which a drum is made to slide over another drum on which the hoop-iron is wound after coming from the rollingmill, and by means of a handwheel and screws the first-named drum is made to slide over--the winding-drum and force the roll of hoop-iron off, after which it is made into the proper form ready for the market. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a vertical part section of the entire machine. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the machine through the line or y of Fig. 1.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the two views.

The winding-drum (Z is fixed fast on the shaft w, by which it is made to revolve by means of a belt on the pulley a, and carries with it the drumf and the hand-wheel e. The drum f is connected to the winding-drum by means of screwed spindles n n, which serve to draw the pushingoff drum f over the winding-drum d, which will be afterward explained.

The winding drum d revolves within the frame-work T, which is provided with a number of rollers, 0 o o 0 o, and guides 11 p 1;,which serve to hold the hoop-iron on the drum and to guide it in an even roll. These rollers and guides are pressed against the surface of the winding-drum by means of springs o 0 0 so as to keep a constant pressure on the 1100piron, and so prevent the hoop-iron from slipping on the drum cl. These rollers and guides are each provided with crank-levers o o, and these levers are connected to each other and to the lever o by the links 8, so that by pressing the lever 0 down by hand the pressure of the rollers and guides on the surface of the drum (1 may be relaxed.

\Vhen there is a sufficient quantity of hoopiron rolled on the drum (1 and it is required to remove it, the drum is stopped and rollers 0 0 and guides 19 released and the hand-wheel 6 turned, to which is fastened the cog-wheel Z, which works into the cog-wheels m m, and the screwed spindles n n are made to revolve, and as they screw into the drumfso is the drum f drawn over the drum d, and so forces the roll of hoopiron off, which is afterward formed into an oblong bundle ready for the market.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent in the United States, is-

1. In machines for bundling hoopiron, the winding-drum d, in combination with the shovingoffdrumfand with the screwed spindles n n n, for the purpose as described.

2. In machines for bundling hoop-irou, the drums at andfand screwed spindles n 7b a n, in combination with the frame-work T, provided with rollers 0 0 0 0 and guides p121), for the purpose as described.

3. In machines for bundling hoop-iron, the winding-drum d, in combination with the shoving-offdru-mf, the screwed spindles u an,
