Be it known that I, FREDERIGKPETER Ros- BACK, a citizen ofthe Un ite'd States, and a resident of the city ofOhieago, county of 0001:,

State of Illinois, have invented "certain new anduseful Improvements in Perforators, of which the following is a specification, refer-- ence being had to the aecompanyin g drawings,

forming apart hereof;

My invention relatcsto the class of devices used forperforating-paper to provide divisionlines at which to rend er separation by tearing easy. These perforations are to he found, among other connections, in sheets of postagestamps, check-books, receipt-books, and the like. I

j 111 my present-invention the object is to Y provide improvements in the construction and manner of operating the feedingdevice and the deliveryofthe cut material therefrom wherein an adjustable feed is provided that enablesthe operator toreadily set or arrange the feed to secure any desired length to the perforated material in its presentation to the perforating-knife, from which it is carried by a rubber-covered roller and presented to an adjustable receptacle controlled by the operator to secure it in any desired position as the I have also placed a paperholding table immediately above the operative parts of themachine for convenience in taking the material to supply the machine. I

Many features of the operative parts of the machine are shown in my-formerpatent, No.

387,543, dated August-7,1888.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional side view on line 2 2 of Fig. .1. Fig; 3 is a plan View on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4t

is a sectional View of the adjustable feeding devices on line at 4 of Fig. Fig. 5 sectional View of the operating-handles connected with the pawl and sliding table as it slides upon its frame on line 5 5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line (i 6 of Fig.

4, more clearlyshowing the antifriction-rollers that support the sliding adjustable feedbrackets F application. i

In the drawings, A represents the table at the front of the machine, upon whiehthe ma- .terial is laid as it is brought down from the supply-table A; 3, the adjustable receivingtable, upon which the sheets of perforated paper are delivered; 13, its supporting-hinges; E the adjusting supporting-shaft; lBithe ratchet-plate, secured to the machine-frame; 7), the lever actuating the ratchet-pawl; B", the adjusting ratchet-lever; 1), its retaining set-screw; C, the adjustable side boards for retaining the perforated material upon the receiving-table; 0, their adjusting retainingbolts 7 Dis the reciprocating perforating-head; D, its actuating-shaft.

E is the ontwardly-revolving carrier'roller, provided with rubber friction-sleeves or carrier-surfaces e, that carries the finished product from the perforating-knives and delivers the same upon the table; F, the angular supporting portion of the main frame, to which is secured the carrier-track F, upon which is mounted the adjustable feeding-carriage I, as

illustrated in the sectional views'of Figs. 5 and (5, provided with its antifriction-rolleri and its shaft 1'', the carriage being supported at each end by the roller J upon its flanged rim J, that rests upon the top of the carriertrack. J is its shaft. i

G is the main power-wheel; G its clutch-actuating shaft.

H is theadjustable ratchet-tooth, mounted 011 the overhanging shaft F supported by 7b is its retaining set-screw.

II shows a ratchet-tooth moved horizontally out of contact with the loeking-pawl K of the feed-carriage; K,its pawl-pivot; Kiitspawlactuating handle; K its stop; L, the car- ?r, its shaft;

riageactuating handle; M, the extended bar from the carriage, which supports andmoves the material to be perforated. It is provided with a retaining-gage N, having a thumb ad-' justing-screw n; M, an adjustable holding push-plate pivoted at m to the bar M and provided with holding-screws on over the slot 171. in the M below.

P is the paper or material to be perforated.

The drawings thus described clearly show the construction of the machine.

In operation the material is placed upon the supply-table A, from which it is taken in quantities suitable for the action of the per forating-knife and placed upon the table A, the front edge of the material resting upon the feed-carriage I, against the adjustable holding push-plate M, as shown in Fig. 4, the holding-gage N being placed up to the side of the paper and secured in any desired position by means of its set-screw n. The operator, having adjusted the ratchetteeth II to the required distance indicating the length of the paper to be perforated, moves the carriage and the material by means of the actuating-handle L to a 'point where the lockingpawl K, which is actuated by means of his wrist bearing upon the pawl-actuating handle K will contact with the ratchet-tooth II when the perforating-knives descend and penetrate through the paper, after which the carriage is moved forward and held firmly by the succeeding pawl, and the perforating-knives again descend and the operation is repeated. As the finished material accumulates upon the receiving-table it is loweredby means of its adjusting ratchet-lever B actuating the pivot-shaft B so as to permit any desired quantity of paper to be placed on top of the same as it is delivered by the carrier-roll E.

. The adjustable holding push-plate M, against which the material rests, may be placed at any desired angle in its position against the material to insure the line of perforation in registry with any figures or printed matter that may be on the surface of the material.

. The carriage being supported upon its antifriction-rollers in the manner shown in the drawings insures accurate line of movement without friction, and I consider its construction as shown to be novel, which, with the.

. and described.

2. In a perforating machine a feed carriage mounted on a single track at one side of the table and having attached thereto the material-supporting bar M extended across the table and provided with the adjustable pushplate M pivoted at m and its securing setscrews m and transverse slot m that forces the material forward combined with the retaining-gage N and its adjusting-screw 02 secured to the sliding extended bar M actuated by the handle L substantially as shown and.

said carriage being mounted on the way or' track F, combined with its antifriction-rollers J revolving at the side of the track and its supporting-flange J revolving on the top of the track on its shaft J at the outer side of the track, and the antifriction-rollerihaving its shaft t" revolving upon the vertical walls of the opposite side of the track below the plane of the roller J substantially as shown and described.

5. In a perforating-machine the feed-carriage I mounted on a single track on one side the machine provided with the materialmoving bar M extending across the table and the transversely-pivoted spring-pawl K that is free to vibrate on its pivot K as it is moved forward under the ratchet-teeth H for placing the same to the desired point substantially as shown and described.

6. In a perforating-machine the overhanging shaft F supported 011 brackets F provided with adjustable ratchet-teeth H. that are free to revolve and be held out of contact and be adjusted on said shaft to any point or position combined with the sliding carriage I that moves beneath said shaft with its transversely-pivoted spring-pawl K substantially as shown.

7. In a perforating-machine the combination of the carriage I mounted on a single track at one side the machine and its adjustable material-supporting bar M mounted on bar M that is secured to the carriage, its actuating-handle L, pawl-actuating handle K with the adjustable ratchet-teeth substantially-as shown and described.

8. The combination of the reciprocating perforating-head D, the intermediate carrierroller E, the receiving-table B secured to its adjusting supporting-shaft B with the 0011- trolling adjusting ratchet-lever B, its locking-pawl b and its ratchet-holding plate B substantially as shown and described.
