WINDING MACHINE. APPLICATION HPBD MAI 21. 1906.

w a? M M Bm f e T H T Thumb-Mahat f I Be it known'that I, Wnmum 0. Panama citizen of the United States; residing at Charlestown, in the ing drawing.-

county of Washington and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Winding-Machines, of which the following is a-specification, reference being My invention relates for winding fabrics,

particularly elastic and webbing; and has for its primary objects, a display of the fabric for inspection before beaming, means for properly tensioning the fabric the operations of the machine, a cheap and and novel stopping and starting means, together with a combined tension and display device.

had therein to the accompany- Patented eta-1,1957;

.driving wheel, 27. The wheel, 27, is loosely mounted on the shaft, 11,-with its inneriace -contacting with the face of a disk, 28, fixed to the shaft, 11, by the screw, 29. Pivoted by a pin, 30, to the outer end of the shaft,

11, which projects beyond the outer face of the wheel,

27, is a bifurcated cam; 31, provided with a handle, 32. As shown in Fig. 7, the cam has a curved face contacting with the outer face of the wheel, 27 The broken lines in the figure indicate the position of the cam when not operatively engaging the wheel, 27 When the cam is elevated as shown in full lines, the cam presses upon the face of the wheel and forms, with the disk, 28, a frictional clutch device for the wheel andshaft, 11. The shaft, .12, .which is driven from shaft, 11, by belt, 17, carries upon its outer end a pulley, 33, which by a belt, 34, drives a pulley, 35, upon the outer endof shaft, 12. I

A convenient shipping device for the described driving mechanism of the spool comprises a transverse threaded bar, 36, rotatably mounted'in the machine frame and provided with an operating crank handle,

37 Above and below the bar, 36, are fixed rods, 38, parallel with the bar and which serve as guides for a block, 39, which is mounted to travel on the bar as the latter is turned. Uponeach side of the block 39 pro-' ject'roller couplets, 40 and 41, whichact simultaneously upon the receivingand delivery sides of the cone belt,"17'.. I

Upon the inner end of the table are .two posts','42, to which are pivoted an arched bar, 42', which rests upofthdwebbing block, of fabric, 43, A pin, 44, upon the table intermediate and equidistant the posts 42, traverses the central opening of the webbing block and forms a pivot therefor. Upon the -outer end of the table extension are pivoted two vertical rollers, 45 and 46; and upon the table near the webbing block, a vertical roller, 47. Beds, 48 and 49, are'mounted transversely upon the table adjacent and intermediate the rollers, 46 and 47 respectively. The rods are respectively provided with the roller series, 48 and 49. Vertical guide pins, 50, are fixed in the table near the block; and a guide roller 'or pin, 51, is also fixed upon the table margin near the roller, 47.

spool ,21, but in a higher plane is a guiderail designated in a general way by 52. It comprises in detail a base,

' 53,and side rails, 54. A horizontal sprocket wheel, 55,

is mounted near the outer end of the base, 53, of the guide rail, while a similar wheel, 56, rotating in the inner end of the guide rail, is mounted upon the upper a carriage which rests upon the rails, 54, and is guarded against lateral displacement by a guide plate, 65, fixed to the bottom of the base intermediate the rails. Rising from the rear margin of the carriagebase is a fork, 66; and mounted on the front of the base is a horizontal roller, 67. An arm, 68, projects downwardly and forwardly. from the carriage base, having a cylindrical bearing member, 69, in which is vertically mounted a rectangular frame or guide, 70, capable of horizontal adjustment by a nut, 71, upon its lower extremity in contact with the lower end of the frame, 70.

The operation of my machine is as follows: The block of webbing strip, is mounted upon the table, and retained in horizontal plane by the gravity of bar, 42. The free end of the strip, 72, is passed between the pins, 50, and around the vertical rollers, 45, 47, 46, and 51, with a half turn adjacent each of said rollers whereby in conjunction with the horizontal intermediate rollers, 48, 49, over which the strip also passes, both faces .of the strip are caused to pass alternately and repeatedly before the observer. The strip passes from the roller or pin, 51, through the carriage, fork, 66, over the roller 67, and through the frame 7 0, to the spool, to which the end of the strip is fixed and whereon the strip is to be wound.

The machine is put into operation by elevating the cam handle, 32, to horizontal position whereby the spool 21 is rotated through the pulleys, 15, 16, 33 and 34. The strip is fed in layers upon the spool by the reciprocating carriage mechanism which is actuated through pulleys, 18 and 19, gears and 59, sprocket drivers 56 and 55,

and chain 61.

i As the diameter of the spool increases the speed of the spool may be relatively modified by turning the handle 37 of the shipper. Upon occasion the machine is stopped by depressing the cam handle, 32. When filled the spool 31 is removed by firstliiting its end, 24, out of its seat, 25.
