UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
JOSEPH B. OBRYAN, OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
CLOTH-FILING MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 506,535, dated October 10, 1893.
Application tiled February 2l, 1893. Serial No. 463,176. (No model.)
hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,
and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in machines for piling cloth, silk, and other'fabrios, and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts which will hereinafter be fully described, and-particularly pointedout in the claim.
The object of my invention is to provide means for readily and accurately measuring long lengths of cloth, without the necessity of by hand rolling out and measuring the same. An occasion where the convenience of such a mechanism arises is in cutting jeans, cassimeres, &c., where it is necessary for the right sides of the piece of goods to lie facing each other, in order that when a pattern is put on it, the garment is cut right and left. As pieces of cloth of this nature are usually from forty to fifty yards long, it is necessary to have a table of half the length of the piece of goods, and to roll the goods out half of their length, and then back to where the unrolling started at the other end of the table. To do this by hand is tedious, and the object of my invention is to enable the displaying of the goods to be accomplished without the exercise of manual power in unrolling the same.
To this end my invention consists in a traveling frame, suspended over the measuring table by rollers moving on a track suspended over and in line with the measuring table, between the lower, widened ends of which frame bolts or rolls of cloth may be held by` spindles, rotatably mounted in adjustable tubes journaled in said dependent arms, in such a manner that when one end of the roll of cloth is fastened to one end of the table, the cloth can be laidin folds of any desired length upon the table by moving the traveling frame back and forth. v
My invention is fully illustrated in the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specication, in which the same referenceletters refer to the same or corresponding parts, and in which- Figure l is a front view of my traveling frame. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same, and Fig. 3, a series of views showing the spindles used for holding the cloth.
vRe'feifiiig`'to the drawings, A represents a track, suspended horizontally, from the ceiling by the bolts L in a line with the table on which the goods are to be piled. The track may be suspended at any convenient height, the height varying with the proportions of the traveling frame used in connection with the same. On this track run the rollers B, which support through suitable brackets the carriage N, to which carriage are secured the bars C, which are bent outwardly untiltheir lower ends are a little farther apart than is necessaryto handle the rolls of cloth, and then downwardly. The rod D acts as a brace to hold these bars at a proper distance apart, and
also aids to secure the blocks M .in position on the inner side of the lower vertical portion of the bars C. The blocks M serve to make the bearings for the tubes H, which pass through apertures in their lower ends, and are adjustable as to the extent to which theyproject between the ends of the bars C by means of the thumb screws J, long enough to aord secure support to the same. Within the tubes H are rotatably held the spindles G, `which are provided with heads suitable for catching and holding bolts or rolls of cloth placed between the same.
The operation of my device is as follows: The traveling frame having been moved to one end of the table over which it is placed, and a bolt of cloth having been secured between the spindles G, as the traveling frame is moved back and forth on the track A, one end of the cloth having been secured to the end of the table, the cloth will be unrolled, and the requisite length of the same may be measured olf and cut without the necessity of manual labor other than that of moving the aforesaid frame. As the top of the tableover which the frame moves is provided with a rule, inlaid in its upper surface, the cloth can bemeasured as it is being rolled off without additional effort. A
My device is made, partly of wood and IOC In a machine for piling cloth and Otheltcxtile fabrics, the combination with a track A suspended over and inline with the measuring table, of a carriage N provided with wheels moving on said track, and having dependent arms or hangers C, provided with the adjustable tubes H; in which rotate the spindles G, which are provided with heads for holding a roll of clot-h, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof afx my signature in 2o presence ot two witnesses.
