To a/ZZ whom it may concern: y
Be it known that I, ARCHIE MoNICoL, a
- citizen of the United States, residing at Jewend elevation o ett City, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, yhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabric- Printin Machines, of which the following is a full, c ear, and exact description.
This invention is in the class of machinery used for printing calico and the like fabrics in the Web, my present purpose being to provide extremely simple and inexpensive mechanism by means of which a web of cloth may be rapidly printed in a multiple of colors upon one' or both of its faces and without the aid of blanket, gray cloth, or back cloth of any description. In the drawings annexed hereto I have 1llustrated my improved form of machine as adapted for printing an imitation of bunting for decorative purposes, Figure 1 being an said machine with the driving-shaft and its supporting-stand removed. Fi 2 is a detached plan view of the printin rol s considerably enlarged. Fig. 3 is a si e elevation of said machine. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the color-boxes, and Fi 5 is a transverse sectional view of said co or-boX, taken on the line 5 5 of said Fig. 4. In Fig. 6 I have shown a diagrammatic view of the machine-'frame and printing-rolls, also the web of cloth and the drying-cans over which the said web passes after having been printed, and in Fi 7 I have illustrated a section of the printe fabric'.
Referring to the drawings, the letters a and a indicate stands or end frames that serve to support the operative elements of my machine, said stands being connected and stiened by means of tie-rods b b at the top and also by bars c located below the printin mechanism, said bars c being so dispose that they may be utilized as tension-bars, as I shall explain more fully later.
d d denote brackets secured to opposite sides of the stands a a, and adjustably mounted in said brackets are 'ournal-boxes e e, in which the printing-rolls FG are mounted. The adjustment of the journal-boxes e e is controlledby means of screws e2 in the manner common to calico-printing machinery as lnow used. Mounted upon .the outwardly-projectug ends of the journals of the said printing-rolls are gears e? e4', that are connected and caused to rotate in the opposite direction by a pair of intermediate gears e5l e". The said intermediate gears are preferably mounted on studs that are rigidly secured to a slotted plate e7, which is adjustably secured to the machine-stand a by a bolt e". When printing-rolls of greater or lesser diameter are used, the plate e7 may beA readily raised or lowered, so as to cause the intermediate rolls to mesh with the gears e3 e, thus preserving the four gears of the train in operative relation vto each other.
The printing-rolls are driven, as here shown, by means of a short shaft g2, `that is mounted in a suitable stand h, located at the end of the machine adjacent to the described gears, the said shaft being connected With the printing-roll by a gearg, that meshes with the described gear e3. In Fig. `1' the stand h and its connected parts are removed in order to disclose the described 'train of gearing that connects the printing-rolls.
Each complete printing-roll is made up of a mandrel f and one or more shellsf, splined or otherwise non-rotatably mounted upon the said mandrel, the number of said shells being equal to the number of colors or stripes of color which it is desired to deposit on the fabric. As here shown, two shellsf are provided, and-they are separated by an interposed collar f2, whose length is e ual to the width of the strip of unprinted fa ric. The
vseveral shells f and interposed collar f2 are firmly clamped together b means of nuts f 3, screwed upon the Iends of t e mandrelsf.
I have already stated that several colors may be simultaneously deposited upon the fabric by means of a single complete printing-roller, and I have also ex ained that each complete roller ma inc ude several short shells. It therefore ecomes necessary to provide means for separating the different colors in the color-boxes. This I do by means of laterally-adjustable artitions that are best seen in F igs. 4 and 5 o the drawings. The color-boxes are indicated by the letters k 7c', and they are suspended below the printing-rolls on brackets m m', secured to the journal-boxes in which the printing-rolls rotate, as is best seen' in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings.
Within the color-boxes are adjustable par- IOO adjusted to the desired positionthe screwlc6 1s screwed home, thus drawing the said artig? tion into such close engagement wit A vthe" color-box that the-said box is eiectuallyy vided into two or more liquid-tight compari?v Scrapers or -doctorrolls n, as 'i here illustrated, should be provided to re-y move surplus color from the color-rolls in, said doctor-rolls being journaled infadjlist-VV ments.
able bearings n2; The color-rollsfiz are con#y nected with their respective gears n3 n4.
The'web the machine from below, as seen in'vFigg, and passes upward over and under the` en sion-bars c to and between the ing-shells consists of a Inetallicroll and avule canized rubber roll, the desired design being raised on the metal roll F- and sunken `(intaglio) on the rubber rolll G, the designs of the companion rolls being kept (bythe collar f2 and nuts f3) in perfect register as the rolls revolve, and when thus constructed a highly satisfactory result maybe obtained by de.- positing the color uponone side only of the fabric and forcing it through said fabric,the surplus color thus forced through the fabric being deposited vin the sunken design and transferred again tothe back of the fabric as the rolls revolve. Then the machine is operated as just described, both sides of the printed fabric have the same effect as when doubly printed.v If preferred, however, the
of-Inaterial tovbe printed rinting-rolls F G and thence'to the dryingscy inders c. By preference each coacting pair of printported beneath the color may be depositedv upon .both faces of the fabric, in which case both ofthe coacting printing-rolls could, if sodesired, be engraved with the design in relief, color being supplied to both of the printing-rolls F `Gr from their resective boxes.
