feetualmachinefor turning the points of a collar in a uniform and positive manner after the collar has been laundered. l attain this A object'by means of the mechanism illust-rated In the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a plan. Fig. 2 is a section along the line I I on Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a view of part of a collar with its point turned over.

Similarlettersrefertosimilarparts throughout the several' views.

Upon the table A, l place the metallic plate li, provided with downwardly-proj ectin g sides and ends 1) and supportedupon the table by the legs (Lor in any suitable manner. Beneath the top yof theplate l5, I place a gasburner E, supplied with gas by the pipe D, the gas-burnerE passing across the plate from side to side and just below the same at about midway betweenl its ends. Upon the upper surface of the plate I arrange the' guides 11 and G,usuall y constructed of 1netal,T-sl1aped, the shank slotted, adjusted by means of the bolts f and g.. To the rear of the upper su r face of the plate l ,-I hinge the plate J, which extends forward .to that portion of the plate l5 beneath which the burner E is located; The plate J- is provided with a bolt j, which extends downward into the lug k, projecting' upward in the recess Kin the plate B, and about which lug is a spiral spring L, which has its seats on` the bottom of the recess IK' .and the under side of the plate J. The plate .l is provided with the slot J', through which the bolt j passes, and upon which the plate vmay be niove'd.

To the forward end of the plate l is at- I tached the rod' lll, which passes through the plate l2, throi'lgh the table A, and 'is secured to the lever N which lever is l'ulcr'umed to the legs ol' the table at'n, as shown in Fig. 2. As thus arranged, the lever N becomes a treadle for the purpose of forcing don-'nward lthe plate J.

ln addition to 'the guides F and G referred to ll also arrange upon the plate B, close to the edge oi' the plate .i and on each side of said, plate, the guides O and l), which are provided. with. slots and bolts for adjustment, and are pointed, having upwardly-projecting lugs o and y) at the point, one of which is shown in Fig.

The operation of my mechanism is apparent. A collar S is placed in the position shown in Fig'. l, dircctml bythe guides F and P. The plate J is brought down by pressing the foot upon the lever N. The heat from the and the operator turns the collar over upon the plate .l as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l.

For the purpose of preventing the projecting` ends oli' the collar interfering' with the process l arrange at each of the forward eerncrs ol' the plate .l openings T T through the plate i3, which will allow the projecting ends to turn therein. lfig. i shows the collar after one el its peint-s has been turned down. Upon 'removing the foot `from the treadle the spring L will raise the plate J, the collar is removed, and the other point is turned by inserting it beileath the plate directed by the guides G and O.

as set forth.
