JAMES'WILLIAM WOODS'AND DAVID IRVINE BARNETT, OF TORONTO, CANADA.
LENGTH-INDICATOR FOR FABRICS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,946, dated June 5, 1894.
Application filed December 22, 1893. Serial No.494 463. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that we, JAMES WILLIAM Woons, merchant, and DAVID IRVINE BAR- NETT, clerk, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a certain new and useful Length-Indicator for Fabric Materials; and we hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
This invention relates to a means whereby the length 'of material in the web can be indicated, and the quantity of material sold from the same "web determined; and the object of the invention is to provide a device which will accurately measure the quantity of material in the web and indicate the same, and to so construct the device that it can be cheaply and readily manufactured, and so arranged as to form a part of the web; and the invention consists essentially of the device hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a web of cloth showing the device employed. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of one of the indicating tags showing the means for locking the tag on the holding cord or twine.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the specification and drawings.
Wound with the web A is an indicator which consists of cords or strands of twine B', upon which are mounted at regular intervals the indicating tags O. Printed, marked or otherwise indicated upon the tags 0 are reference numerals, which represent the quantity of material supposed to be in the web. The tag 0 is immovably secured to the cord or twine B, and under all ordinary condi: tions, remains stationary upon the cord where placed. As shown in Fig.3 the cord B passes through eyelets a formed in the tag 0, and is then laced back through eyelets 0, making a double bond in the cord or twine B, to securely hold the tag in place.
In the operation of the device the end of the indicating device is placed with that end of the material which will be adjacent to the board D upon which the material is blocked, and at one yard exactly from the end of the indicator will be a tag having printed or 0therwise marked on its surface the reference A numeral 1, with the letters yd. repre senting yard following it, and exactly one yard remote from the first tag will be a second tag having 2 yd. indicated on it, this being repeated until the entire length of the material is measured out by means of these tags. There may be located intermediate these tags, tags representing the half yards andquarter yards. The indicator is preferably wound with the material at the mill, and the winding does not interfere in the slightest degree with the appearance of the web. The salesman, by means of this device, is able to determine, by looking at the last tag, the-original quantity of material in the web, or he can determine at any subsequent date the quantity of material which remains in the web, and by subtracting the quantity of material remaining .in the web from the original quantity of material in the web, he is ableto determine the quantity of material sold, and by means of this indicator it is possible, when taking stock, to estimate the amount of material in the web without the necessity of measuring it out, thus saving a vast amount of time even in stock taking. Another advantage in connection with the device is that it provides a tape or measure by means of which the customer can see at a glance the quantity of material pur-.
chased, as in cutting the material the indicator would be cut and delivered with the material. I
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r v v The combination with the web A of a length indicator comprised of a cord or twine B having arranged on it at regular intervals tags 0, and indicated on the tags 0 specified quantities to represent the length or quantity of material in the web, eyelets 0 formed in each of said tags, through which passes the said cord or twine, and eyelets 0' also formed in the said tag through which the said cord or twine is laced back upon itself to form a lock to hold the tag stationary on the cord or twine, substantially as specified.
