MACHINE FOR STIFFENING HATS.

Application filed November 7, 1891. Serial No. 411,192- (No model.)
features in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of a machine embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a tube used to apply the stiffening material to a hat. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the tube shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the plane of the dotted lines 5 5, Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a detail showing a certain gearing employed.
Similar letters and figures of referencedesignate corresponding parts in all the'figures.
A designates a vat or reservoir containing stiffening material, such as a solution of shellac. In its upper part is a strainer a. The solution is introduced above the strainer, and such portion of it as is suitable for use passes through the strainer into the lower part of the vat or reservoir. The vat or reservoir A is supported by a bed or table T, but, as here shown, is elevated above the latter by an intermediate block T.
B B designate tubes extending from the They are shown as supported at the inner end by the vat or reservoir and at the outer end by extending into a bracket 6, erected on the bed or table T. Preferably these tubes are slightly inclined downwardly toward their outer ends, so that the stiffening material will flow from the vat or reservoir into them. Near their outer ends they are provided with oscillating valves or cocks 12' 19 whose stems have aifixed to them arms 12 12 The outer ends of these arms b b are pivotally connected to a link b and the arm b is pivotally connected to one end of a link 12 whose other end is pivotally connected to alever b fulcrumed in a bracket or stand b erected on the bed or table T. This lever is connected by a rod 12 with a treadle of any suitable construction, so that the attendant of the machine may by means of his foot raise the arms 19 b to open the valves or cocks b 19 On the release of the treadle the valves or cocks will be closed by means of a spring 17 here shown as fastened to the link 12 and to the bed or table T in such a way that it will pull the arms 12 b downward.
On the outer ends of the tubes B B are tubular sleeves b 12 constituting distributing-tubes. Portions of the tubes B B within these sleeves Z9 5 are slotted. A single slot in the under part of the tube B and a single slot in the upper part of the tube B will suffice. The sleeves b Z2 will preferably be provided with a number of longitudinal slots. In the present instance each sleeve has four of these slots 1 2 3 4, either of which may, by rotating the sleeve, be brought into line with the slot formed in the contiguous tube B or B The sleeves are fitted to the tubes, so as to be capable of rotation around the same. They may be simply retained by friction or by a screw Z9 passing through the end of each sleeve and engaging with a tapped hole in the end of the contiguous tube. The slots of each sleeve are of different length, but none is longer than the slot of the tube with which it is to coaot. Obviously by turning the sleeve upon its tube any one of the slots in the sleeve may be brought into line with the slot in the tube, and according to the length of the slot in the sleeve so will the flow of stiffening material be regulated. The length of the slot of the sleeve from which the stiffening material will flow also determines the width of material upon which the stiffening material will be deposited. It will be seen that the sleeves b b are close together. It is intended that there shall be ICO intended in this example of my improvement that the tubes or their sleeves shall rotate during the application of the stiffening material.
I preferably employ a guide for directing the material which is to receive stiffening material between the sleeves b (9 and I have shown for this purpose an arm 0, having a forked outer end, which will be substantially on the same level as the space between the sleeves. As here shown, this arm is supported by the bracket 1), the connection being made by slotting the arm longitudinally and passing through it a screw that engages with a tapped hole in the bracket b. This connection not only allows of the longitudinal adjustment of the arm, but also permits of tilting it to different angles.
D D designate two rollers, here shown as made of conical form and mounted on shafts cl'd which converge toward theirouter ends.
Owing to this manner of forming the supports of the rollers their opposite surfaces will be parallel, or substantially so. The shaft 61 is supported in journal-boxes (1 (1 which are clamped to an upright frame or bracket cl, which is erected upon the bed or table T of the machine. The clamping devices pass through vertical slots in this frame or bracket cl. Hence by slackening the clamping devices the journal-boxes may be adjusted suitably to change the elevation or angle of inclination of the shaft d and its roller D The clamping devices may be of any suitable form. The shaft d is supported at one end in a j ournal-box (i fastened to the upright frame or bracket (1 and near the outer end in a journal-box d, which is also fastened to the frame or bracket (1. Each'of the journal-boxes (1 cl has a shank (Z which extends through a slot in the frame or bracket (Z and at the rear end is screw-threaded to receive a nut d". The shank d is surrounded by a sleeve (1", which fills the slot that is substantially the same size in diameter as the transverse dimension or width of the slot of the frame or bracket (Z through which the shank passes. The front end of the sleeve is provided with a flange or head, which is too large to pass through the slot of the frame or bracketcl. The rear end of the sleeve is screw-threaded and has applied to it a nut (Z in rear of the frame or bracket (Z. The nut (i bears against the rear end of the sleeve (2. By tightening the nut (1 of the sleeve d" the sleeve may be fastened in position upon the frame or bracket cl. If then the nut d is loosened, the journal-box, whose shank is engaged with the nut, will be free to oscillate. The sleeve d", belonging to the journal-box (1 will be fixed in position by tightening its nut (Z but the shank of its journal-box will be left free to oscillate in its sleeve. The shank of the journal-box cl will be left loose in its sleeve c and the latter will also be left loose in its slot of the frame or bracket (1. The shaft cl can slide lengthwise in the journal-box cl. Owing to this the shaft d, with its roller D, may be oscillated up and down upon the shank of the journal-box d as a center of oscillation, so as to allow the roller D to move bodily toward and away from the roller D The clamping devices described in connection with the journal-boxes d (1 will answer for the journal-boxes d (1 but when used for the latter all parts will be tightened.
The journal-box d is provided with an upwardly-extending arm or link (1, with the upper end of which is pivotally connected a lever E, that is fulcrumed by a pin 6 to a plate e, fastened to the frame or bracket d. This lever E is provided with a hook-shaped arm e whose upper end extends over a block or projection 2 located upon one side of the frame or bracket cl. A screw 6 passes vertically th rough the upper extremity of this hookshaped arm 6 and is adapted to rest upon the upper end of the block or projection 0 thus forming an adjustable support for the shaft cl of the roller D. The lever B may pass through the block or projection e and be guided thereby.
The rollers D D will preferably be rotated continuously. As here shown, rotary motion may be imparted to the roller D through a belt applied to a pulley (1 on the shaft 61 Rotary motion is transmitted fromthe shaft d through a gear (Z to a gear (Z and from the latter through a gear c1 to a gear (31 affixed to the shaft a. Two gears 61 (Z are employed for transmitting motion, so as to cause the rollers D D to be so rotated that their adjacent surfaces will be movingin the same direction. The attendant may at any time elevate the roller D by raising the lever E.
The hat to be stiffened is passed between the rollers D D It thus receives a film of stiffening material and afterward is subjected to pressure between the rollers. It is only intended that the supply of stiffening material shall be momentary. Hence the operation of the treadle will be periodical. It may be necessary to pass the hat several times between the sleevcs and rollers in order to properly apply the stiffening material to the desired surface. Obviously the lever E might be operated by a treadle, if desired. It is clear that one roller serves as a support for the hat and that the pressure with which the roller D acts may be varied by force exerted through the lever E, assuming that the screw a shall be so adjusted that it will not touch the block or projection 0 while a hat is passing beneath the roller D.
