FREDERICK H. GELDERMANN, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.

CHENlLLE- MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 678,7 dated July 16, 1901- Application filed June 3, 1901.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. GELDER- MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Paterson,in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chenille-Machines; and I do 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, reference'being had to the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to machines for producing that kind of textile goods known as chenille, and its principal object is to provide a machine of this nature with means whereby various sizes of goods may be produced without undue inconvenience and interchange of parts.

The invention will be found fully illus trated in the accompanying drawings, where- 1n-' Figure l is a top plan View of the machine, sufficient thereof being shown to properly illustrate my invention. Fig. 2 is a slightlyenlarged front view of what is shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a view taken on the line 00 0c in Fig. 2.

a designates the frame, on which is mounted in the usual manner an upright I), wherein is rigidly secured a sleeve 0, having a head d.

On the sleeve 0 and between the head 01 and the upright b is journaled a hub or cylinder e, having at one end a fiangefand carrying at its other end a disk g. The flange f carries a spinning-ring h, which has sustaining-rods 2', adj usta'bly secured in said flange. The disk g carries the usual bobbinholders 9' and tension devices It for the bobbins Z, from which the supply of threads is taken for forming the pile of the chenille. The hub c has the usual pulley m, whereby through a belt or band said hub and the parts it carries are rotated. The hub and the mechanism it carries form what is termed in the art a spindle.

Through the sleeve 0 extends a pair of endless cords n or other similar and suitable flexible devices, which pass around pairs of grooved pulleys o and which are adapted to Serial No. 68,007. (No model.)

feed along the Weft-threads coming from the bobbins e as they are wound around said cords in the manner hereinafter described.

13 designates a pair of grooved rollers which bear against the cords n and force them toward each other, said rollers being journaled in pivoted arms g, which are drawn together by a'spring or other elastic device 0". Between the pulleys in one pair of pulleys o is another pulley s, over which extends from a suitable supply (not shown) one of the warpthreads 6. This thread extends through the sleeveand through the spinning-ring between the rollers 19 and in a plane slightly beneath that of the cords. (See Fig. 3.)

to designates the other warp-thread, the same being fed from a suitable supply (not shown) over a roller 1; on a support '10, said roller being situated just under the line of the warp-thread t. The two warp-threads after being brought together by the roller o are twisted about each other by some suit-' able well-known means, which is located at a distance and travels away from the machine as fast as the twisting is done.

a designates the knife for cutting the pile of the chenille. This knife may be a plain blade, as in Fig. 1, or, which is preferable, in the form of a disk y, being journaled in a suitable support a, as in Figs. 2 and 3. It should be located slightly forward of the point where the twisting begins-"i. 6., at the rollers p.

The bobbins l being revolved with the disk g, so as to spin the weftthreads around the cords n, and said cords being fed along so as to advance the spun portion of the weft, the latter is brought against the knife, which cuts the pile upon its being twisted in with the warp-threads.

2 designates a former, preferably consisting of a metallic plate having its sides grooved, as at 3, to receive the cords at, between which it is adapted to be placed. This former, by virtue of the grooves in its sides, is held firmly and positively in place between the inwardly-pressed rollers 13 against vertical displacement. Its rear end may be removably secured in the head d by a pin 4. Said former is provided with a slot 5, into which projects the knife. By providing several of these formers for each machine and of different sizes, since the diameter of the goods produced must depend upon the width of the former, various sizes, of chenille may be produced on the same machine without further interruption to the Work than is involved in removing the former and replacing by another of difierent size.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to. secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a chenille-machine, the combination, with a frame, of a pair of grooved devices mounted in said frame and movable the one toward the other, a formerinterposed between said devices and having grooves opposed to the grooves of said devices, a cord interposed between and engaged by each device and the former and received by said grooves, and means acting to draw said devices the one toward the other, the weft thread being adapted to be spun around the former, the cords, and one'of the warps previously to the twisting of the latter and the cutting of said weft-threads to form the pile, substantially as described.

2. In achenille-machine, the combination, with a frame, of a pair of grooved rollers mounted in said frame and movable the one toward the other, a former interposed. between said rollers and having grooves opposed to the grooves of said devices, acordinterposed between and engaged by each roller and the former and received by said grooves, and elastic means acting to draw said rollers the one toward the other, the weft-thread being adapted to be spun around said formerg'the cords, and one of the warps previously to the twisting of the latter and the cutting of said weft-threads to form the pile, substantially as described.

3. In a chenille-machine, the combination, with a frame, of a pair of grooved rollers mounted in said frame and movable the one toward the other, a former interposed between said rollers and having grooves opposed to the grooves of said devices, a cord interposed between and engaged by each roller and the former and received by said grooves, elastic means acting to draw said rollers the one toward the other, a weft-thread-carrying spindle revolubly mounted in said frame and adapted to spin the weft around the former, the cords, and one of the warps, and a knife for cutting the spun portion of the weft, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of June, 1901. I

FREDERICK l-I. GELDERMANN.
