1'0 a/AZ whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, WILLIAM HUBELI VVAL- DRON, a citizen of the United States, and a residentof New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Reeling-Machine for Paper or Other Fabrics, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to reeling-machines for paper or other fabric,-such as shown and described in the Letters Patent of the United States No. 57 0,355, granted to me October 27, 1896.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved reeling-machine arranged to insure automatic reeling or winding up of paper or other fabric, to allow convenient adjustment of the winding-roll, and to permit bringing the paper under proper tension.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the tension device. Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation of the driving-roll and Winding-roll, the bearing of the latter being shown in section. Fig. 4: is an enlarged sectional plan view of one of the eccentric bearings for the winding-roll. Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional side elevation of the same on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 is a detail view of the lower portion of the U-shaped frame.

On a suitably-constructed frame A is journaled a driving-roll B, connected with other machinery for imparting a rotary motion to the said driving-roll, to rotate the windingroll O, arranged directly above the drivingroll and on which the paper D or other fabric is Wound. The winding roll or core Cis journaled at each end in a bearing E, (see Figs. 3

vertically in guideways A, forming part of the main frame A. On each box F is arranged a handle F, adapted to be taken hold of by the operator for turning the box F, so as to bring the winding-r0110 in proper relation to the driving-roll B, and after proper adjustment is made the trunnion E and the box F are fastened together by a suitable set-screw F as indicated in Figs. 1 and 5.

Each of the bearings E is provided with an upwardly-extending ear E, engaged by a rod G, extending upwardly and mounted to slide in suitable bearings on the main frame A, the upper end of each rod carrying a Weight Or to hold the winding-roll O with sufficent friction in contact with the drivingroll B for the latter to rotate the windingroll C. On each bearing E is also secured a handle E adapted to be taken hold of by the operator for lifting the winding-roll O whenever it is desired to do so. On the bearings E are also formed horizontally-extending ears E*, to which are secured the side arms of a U-shaped frame H, having its middle portion engaged by a treadle H, fulcrumed on the main frame A and under the control of the operator. Thus when it is desired to slightly lift the winding-roll O for placing the paper in position on the winding-roll it is only necessary for the operator to press the treadle H to accomplish the desired result.

When the paper has been wound upon the winding-roll O and the latter has reached an uppermost position in the guideways A, then the roll of paper can be temporarily supported by supporting-arms I, fulcrumed on the main frame A and adapted to swing under the boxes F. Each of the arms I is connected by a link I with a treadle mechanism I to enable the operator to swing the arms I under the boxes F whenever it is desired to support the paper or roll previous to its removal from the machine.

In order to give the desired tension to the paper D during the reeling operation, the following device is provided: The paper D as it comes over a rack J to the machine passes first to a tension-roller K, then beneath the same to a tension roller K, then beneath the latter to a tension-roller K and then beneath the roller K to a tension-roller K to pass from the latter over an intermediate pul ley L, to finally pass onto the driving-roll B. Now the tension-rolls K and K form one pair, mounted on yokes or arms N, and the tension-rolls K and K form a pair mounted on arms or yokes N. The yokesN and N are secured on shafts I and N respectively, journaled in suitable bearings held on the main frame A, and on the said shafts N and N are secured gear-wheels O and O, in mesh with a gear-wheel 0 secured on a shaft 0 journaled in suitable bearings on the main frame A. On the shaft 0 is secured a handwheel O, adapted to be turned by the operator to rotate the shaft 0 and gear-wheel 0 so that the latter simultaneouslyrotates the gear-wheels O and O to turn the shafts N and N and thereby give a simultaneous swinging motion to the yokes N and N to bring the pairs of tension-rolls K K and K K into an angular position (see dotted lines, Fig. 2) for giving the desired tension to the paper D previous to the latter passing onto the idler-pulleyL and driving-roll B. When the desired tension has been given to the paper D, then the parts of the tension device are locked in place, and for this purpose the shaft 0 is provided with a ratchet-wheel I engaged by a pawl P, fulcrumed on the main frame A. (See Fig/1.)

By having the two pairs of tension-rolls adjusted simultaneously it is evident that a very strong tension can be given to the paper to prevent slipping of the same and to insure a compact winding up of the paper on the winding roll or core 0, it being understood that an even winding of the paper on the roll C is insured by properly adjusting the roll G by the use of the eccentric boxes F, as previously explained.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a reeling-machine, the combination with a driving-roll, of a winding-roll surmounted upon the driving-roll and adapted to be rotated by it, movable bearings in which the winding-roll is mounted, each bearing being provided with an upwardly-extending ear, a rod engaging each of said cars, a weight carried by each rod, and a foot-controlled means for raising the winding-roll and the said weights.

2. In a reeling-machine, the combination with a driving-roll, of a Winding-roll surmounted upon the said driving-roll and adapted to be rotated by it, bearings for the shaft of the winding-roll to turn in, the bearings having trunnions, handled boxes having eccentric bores for the tr unnions to turn in, vertical guideways for the boxes to slide in, vertical rods connected at their lower ends with ears on the said bearings, and weights carried at the upper ends of said rods.

3. In a reeling-machine, the combination with a drivingroll, of a winding-roll surmounted upon the said driving-roll and adapted to be rotated by it, bearings for the shaft of the winding-roll to turn in, the bearings having trunnions, handled boxes having eccentric bores for the trunnions to turn in, vertical guideways for the boxes to slide in, vertical rods connected at their: lower ends with upwardly-extending ears on said bearings, a weight attached to the upper end of each rod, a handle on each bearing for lifting the winding-roll, and means for supporting the raised winding-roll in a raised position.

4:. In a reeling-machine, the combination With a driving-roll, of a winding-roll surmounted upon the said driving-roll and adapted to be rotated by it, bearings for the shaft of the winding-roll to turn in, the bearings having trunnions, handled boxes having eccentric bores for the trunnions to turn in, vertical guideways for the boxes to slide in, a vertical rod connected with each bearing, a weight attached to each rod, a depending frame attached to the bearings, and a treadle controlling the said frame.

5. In a reeling-machine for paper or other fabric, the combination with a driving-roll, of a winding-roll surmounted upon the drivingroll and adapted to be rotated thereby, movable bearings in which the winding-roll is mounted, vertical rods connected with the bearings and extending upward therefrom, weights carried by the rods, means for raising the winding-roll and the said rods, and means for regulating the tension of the fabric.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM HUBELI WALDRON.
