FRIEDRICH CARL STEPI-IAN, OF CRIMMITSCl-IAU, GERMANY.
APPARATUS FOR MEASURING TEXTILE FABRICS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 519,277, dated May 1, l. 894.
Application filed July 1 3 J 1 8 92.
or by means of mechanical appliances for the purpose of ascertaining and checking the length of such material an accurately divided measuring band or tape has been used which was rolled up with a single thickness of the.
fabric requiring to be measured so that the length of its unrolled part indicated at the:
same time the length of the measured fabric.
These processes however were defective in that the measurement obtained was not quite accurate asthe measuring tape or band being placed only on one side of the material was liable to become shifted when rolled up thus causing inaccuracies in the measurement. By my improved device, a measuring band or tape furnished with a continuous row of figures is inserted between the folds of the cloth or other fabric which is arranged in double layers, so that by these means, a reliable measurement of the separate lengths which are sold or cut ofi can be obtained.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein-- V Figure 1 is a plan view illustratingthe manner in which the measuring tape is inserted in the bolt of cloth. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof; and Fig. 3 a sectional view illustrating the manner of folding the cloth.
The apparatus consists of a fiat case A which contains the measuring tape or band Z) made of strong paper, linen or other suitable material and provided with divisions and acontinuously increasing row or sequence of figures. The band is mounted upon a roller 0 which can easily turn on a pin or axis d. A
slot is formed in the front and narrow side of the box and serves to guide the tape or 1 band which slides to and fro through the same. To protect the roller the metal strip f may be placed upon the box and serve to a seriumrsaszi. (Nomodel) certain extent as a cover for the same. This flat box with its measuring tape is introduced between the two layers Z-Z' of material as clearly shown in Fig. 2.
As is well known rolls of cloth are so arranged for sale that they are not folded or rolled along their whole width but are rolled in half widths so that on one side is the fold or plait and on the other the two edges or selvages h h of the fabric Fig. 3. The measuring box is introduced from the open side 72. h between the two cloth layersl Z in such a manner as to reach or nearly reach the plait g on the other side. To facilitate this manipulation the box is loosely held between the two layers of clothl Z by means of a long stick or handle 2'. This stick i is firmly fixed by a screw staple is upon the measuring counter or table m or secured thereto in any other manner, the said stick being placed obliquely across the material to prevent the measuring tape from moving to any appreciable extent from its original position between the cloth layers. This oblique position of the box has also another purpose-that is to say to facilitate the work of the operator who forms a'roll O with the cloth so that he may roll it straight which he can do by taking care that the plait -g always bears against .the edge or corner of the box while the cloth is moved along from D to B. At the same time the formation of creases in the cloth is avoided while the box A and the stick or handle 11 effectively prevent the lower cloth layer Z from bulging. Before rolling up, the measuring tape or band b is placed at the proper end upon the front edge of the cloth, and the rolling is commenced. The
said tape is drawn from the box automatically and simultaneously with the cloth and remains between the two cloth layers. When j the end of the cloth is reached the correspondl in g mark of the measuring tape will forthwith indicate the exact length unrolled; the length l of any piece cut off can be thus immediately 1 ascertained and hence the sale of the material can be accurately controlled.
What I claim is- In an apparatusfor measuring cloth and like fabrics, the combination of the flat slotted boxA having a rod or handle 41, the screw staple or fastening for securing said handle to a counter, while the said box is inserted In testimony that I claim the foregoing as between two doubledlayers of the fabric to be my inventionI have signed my name in presmeasured, and the roller 0 located in the flat ence of two subscribing witnesses.
