Leners Patent No. 81,255, zaad August 18, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES POR APPLYING CLOTH PATCHES TQ PAPER. COLLARS.

To ALL wHoM 1T MAY coNenitN: v Be t'known that we, JOHN P. CoUnTNEY and Cnannns REDMAYNE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied lto use a'certain new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Pasting .ClotlrLinings to the .Button-Holes of Paper Collars; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this' specification, wherein- Figure 1 is a vertical section of the pasting-apparatus.

Figure 2 is an inverted plan of the perforated end oi' said paster, and

Figure 3 represents the buttonhole of a paper collar-.with the cloth lining applied thereto.

Similar marks of reference denote the same parts'. I

Heretofore cloth has been-applied as a lining to the button-holes of paper collars. The paste, however, is

apt to get into ,the button-hole, making the same harsh, disagreeable in use, when dry, and also to get upon the surface of the collar outside the edge of the cloth lining, where the beauty and lustre of the surface are generally marred by wiping o such surplus paste after thelining has been applied to the surface.

The nature of our said invention consists in a paste-receptacle, formed with a perforated bottom of` about the size and shape of theeloth lining or patch, so that the paste can be applied only to the portion required for causingthe lining to adhere. We make use of a tapering peg as a guide for both the colla-r, the patch', and the paster. -The paste", as applied by our apparatus, does not get into the button-hole; neither does it spread upon the surface beyond the edges of the patch or cloth lining. l

l In the drawing, et is a receptacle, for paste or other suitable adhesive material, to the lower end of which the base, 6, is attached by a screw at c, for the convenience of removal for cleaning.

The bottorn,'cZ of b is made with tine holes, either in the sheet metal, or in a wire gauze. This perforated. bottom supports the paste, but-allows snilieient to work through gradually to paste a surface of the size and shape of the portion d, and the pate-h or cloth lining is to be of about the same size and shape as the bottom, CZ, of the pastor, and the cloth patchdis to lne-applied to the pasted surface, and the same pressed upon the paper collar. A v

The button-hole might be cut through both the cloth lining and the paper collar, after the paste is dry, but we prefer to have the hole eut in the collar and inthe patch' before they are pasted together', and, in thiscase, we employ a tapering peg, e, over which the button-hole is placed. Then the pastor is guided to place by the same peg, the tubcfbeing provided in the case d ot. the pastor to set over said peg.

The patch'is guided by the same p'cg as it is put upon the pasted portion of the collar.

The holes in the bottom of the paster do not come near the tubef, hence the peg does not become pasted.

The paste may be pressed upon by a spring-plunger, or by the action of the thumb, so as to squeozeit through the perforations in whatever quantity is required.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v l. The receptacle a, for paste, formed with a perforated bottom, ofthe size and shape required, for pasting the surface of-the collar for the cloth lining or patch, substantially as s'et forth.

A 2. The tubef, applied in the bottom of the paste-receptacle a', in combination with the peg e, that acts as a guide to the button-hole ofthe collar, the patch, and the paste-receptacle, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto-set our signatures, this twenty-third day of May, A. D. 1868.

I JOHN P. COURTNEY,

CHS. REDMAYNE.
