` Application filed January 10.1907. Serial No. 351.680-

for Winding and Cuttig Cloth Rolls, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to a Inachlne for `forming or winding rolls from wide strips of cloth and cutting said rolls up into spools of any desired width and of a diameter equal to the original roll.

' To enable others to understand my invention, reference is had lto the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a broken front elevation of the machine; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the cloth roll winding mechanism online 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the spool forming incohanism on line 3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a broken view of a portion of the spool cutting mechanism; Fig. 5 is a broken view partly in section of the spool cutting mechanism on line 5 of Fig. 4; F ig. 6 is a broken detail view partly in section of the cloth winding arbor and its accompanying paper tube mounted thereon; Fig. 7 is an enlargedfront elevation of theI cloth roll chuck and sectional view of 'its arbor; Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail sectional View of the cloth roll chuck on line S of Fig. v7 broken sectional View of a roll of cloth engaged by the chuck and broken view of its arbor; Fig. .9 is an enlarged detail side elevation of the driver or key adapted to connect` with and drive the paper tube mounted on the cloth winding arbor; Fig. 10 is an enlarged broken sectional view of the cloth winding arbor and the paper tube or core on which the cloth is directly wound, showing the manner of connecting the tube with the arbor; Fig. 11 is a similar view of the cloth winding arbor and paper tube proper position for Winding Fig. 121s an en larged detail side elevation of the weighted lever for the cloth feed rolls; sectional view of said rolls and one of the cross rods of the machine; Fig. 13 is a broken View of the machine bed, vlower presser roller and levers therefor; Fig. 14 is an enlarged broken detail view of the-cloth roll holding chuck. .v

1 represents the bed of the machine I`and 2 the legs.

Thernechanism for 'first winding the cloth into long rolls preparatory to cutting up said rolls into spools, is as follows: Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, 3 and standards 'mounted on the bed 1. 5 and 6 are tie-rods connectying the standards, and they also serve as tension rods for the cloth strip 7 from which the roll 8 is formed; the cloth first passing through the tension rods 9 mounted on the bed. 10 and 1.1. are combined pressure and cloth feed'rolls journaled in the outer ends of the arms 12 and 13, which arms secured to the upper shaft 14. These rolls are driven from the short shaft 15, carrying the tight and loose pulleys 16 and 17. 18 a double pulley vcarrying the belt frein shaft 15 to the idle pulley 2() on shaft 1li, and froxn thence to the pulley 21 on the upper feed roll 10. On the opposite end of this roll -is the pinion 22 meshing with the pinion -23 on the lower feed roll 11 for driving said lower roll. The cloth 7, after leaving the rod 5, passes betw een th'e combined pressure and feed rolls 1() and 11, and from thence to the winding arbor 24V about which its end is secured preparatory to winding. The winding arbor is independently driven through the medium of the pulleys i8, 25 an d. belt 26. rl`he pulley 25 is mounted on the shaft 27 journaled in the short standard 28, and it carries on its inner end the pinion 29 meshing with the intermediate gear 3U, which gear meshes with the pinion 31 on the Winding arbor.

T o vfacilitate the removal of the cloth 'terr sion rolls from the winding arbor, and also to forni a core to support the spools Wl'ien out from the cloth rolls, the paper tube which tube is the full length of the proposed cloth rolls, is slipped on to the winding arbor and is made to rotate in unison therewith and not slip, as follows: 24u (Fig. 10) is heya/ay running throughout the length of the winding arbor, and 24h is an Iincline extending from the journal end 2.4 of the arbor to the bottom of the ke" way. 33 (Fig. 9) is a `\driver having the s arp vpointed pins projecting from its upper surface. lThe paper ltube is extended over the journal. enti of the .l arbor, as shown at Fig. 10, and the driver 33 linserted Withits forward beveled end against the bevel 24h of the arbor. End pressure on the .driver will elevate its forward end into `ithe keyway and force the pins Seil through the ypaper tube to hold it against rotation on the arbor and also furnish means for attaching the cloth to the tube. When the driver is' well seated, the paper tube is forced bach:

EYES' shownat Figs. 6 'and 117 which operation `will complete the engagement ofA the pins 34 with the paper tube. A Standard similar to 28, but not shown, supportsthe opposite end of the winding arbor. 35 and 36 are collars brought against' the ends of the paper tube and are secured in -this position by their set screws 37, one of which seen more clearly at Fig. 11, engaging with the bottoni of the keyway in the winding arbor. yThese collars are larger in diameter than the paper tube to protect the pins and support the weight of the combined pressure and cloth feed rolls l() and 11 during the initial formation ofthe cloth lroll on the winding arbor, When, therefore, the diameter of' the cloth roll has increased in dimensions larger than the diameter of' these collars, the grip of the cloth roll on the paper tube of the winding arbor will be firm enough vto enable said cloth roll to sustain the entire weight ofthe pressure rolls 10 and 11. The roll 11 remaining directly in contact with the cloth roll during theformation of the latter. As the cloth roll increases in size the arms 12 and 13 will be elevated by the contact of the cloth roll with the pressure roll 11. v

38 and 39 are levers pivotally supported to the arms 12 and 13 and carrying at their free ends weights 40 and 41, one of said levers and Weights being shown more clearly at Fig. 2.

These levers reist on the boxes or end. bear# ings of the upper roll'10,and the weights are adjustable on said levers so as to impart a greater or less pressure on the cloth roll while it is being wound. ln winding long cloth rolls to be afterwards cut up into narrow spools, it'is of the utmost importance that the cloth roll should be of uniform diam-I eter and density throughout its entire length in order that the spools cut therefronlI may also be uniform. lf, tlufrefore, the cloth roll tends to increase in diameter on one end more than on the other, it will produce puck.- ers in the cloth, This tei'ulency is eheclnid by means of the before-inentione(l' weights and levers, which weights are shifted to lsuit the condition of, the cloth roll, and, at tinies, it may be 'necessary to temporarily remove one of the weights altogether until condi'- tions are favorable for its replacement.

To insure compact and even winding of the cloth roll intermediate of its ends, the weight 43 is added as shown at Figs.` l and l2. 'lhis wei rht is attached to one end of the lever 44, Whi e. the opposite end bears against the-dinderside of the shaft 14 and is slidably'scciued thereto so that the lever-,can be shit-ted and its weigl'it'brought to bear at 'any point be tween the ends ol the. cloth roll. When not required, the Weight can be placed-onlin) of the lever shown in dotted position at Fig. 12.

The cloth roll is supported on. its underside by the. presser roller (Figs. 2 'and 18),

which roll is journaled on the lever 46, which, 1n turn, is hinged to the plate 47 secured to the bed 1. This presser roll is actuated to bear against the bottom of the cloth roll and 1s kept in contact therewith during the entire formation of 'said cloth lroll as follows: 48 is a weighted lever' fulcrumedon, the screw 49, and is a rod connecting one end of said lever with the lever 46, while the opposite. end of Ilever 48 carriesthe adjustable weight 51. When the presser roll 45 is 'not in use', the weighted end of the lever 48 is raised to depress said roll and a pin is inserteiLin the ho e 52 of the bracket 53 so as to contact withl the upper edge of the lever 48.

When a cloth roll has been wound to the diameter required, the 'cloth connection therewith is severed and the winding arbor lifted from its bearings and the paper tube on 'which the cloth roll is Wound is removed. from the arbor,-aml`said arbor replaced in its bearings to repeat the operation ofwindf4 ing another roll in the manner previously described. The iinished roll, together with its paper tube core, is. slipped on to the arbor of the spool cutting end of the machine.. This arbor isv journaled in the standard 55 and arm 56. The former rests on the bed 1,.v and the latter is removably secured on the projecting ends of the rocker shaft 57 journaled in the standards 55 and 58 and the rod 59 also resting in said standards.

'5U (Figs. 1; 7, 8 and 14) is the cloth roll holding chuck slidably mounted on-.the arbor. 54 and rotatably driven thereby.. The

longitudinal movement of the chuck is eflected through the medium of the arm 61 whose upper` end is journaled 1n the hub (50*1L `of the chuck,vz md the lower end 1s provided 'with the hubs 6l and 61"., having holes therethrough and mounted to slide on the rods 5E) and (32' and also on the rocker shaft 57. This double support ol the arm 6]' will linsure its being moved along said vrodswithout cramping or stickingso thatthe chuck 'may be moved longitudinally on the arbor 54 smoothly and evenly Without halting or jumping for the purpose presently to be more fully described. As the spools are severed fromfthe outer and free end of the. chithi'oll, or, in other words, from the end opposite to that engaged by the ehuek, it is necessary that the chuck hold and drive the cloth roll without distorting in theleast the c yllindrical appearance of' the cloth roll durf ing the operation of spooling.

Referring to Figs. 7 and 14, 62 are radially (Vlisposed sharp-pointed ins 'projecting from the front face of the located between each row or series Iof these uek, and. centrallyI v pins are the slides 63 operatively mounted i 65 are 1 Bravos- Aand downward for the purpose presently to be described. 67 and 68 are two short slides operatively mounted in slots of the chuck similar to the slots for the longer slides just described. These slides-carry the angular l pins 69 and 70 adapted to be forced into the outer surface of the cloth roll and are held in said.` position Aby the set screws 71.

" and 66 to embed themselves into the end of they roll, when the slides carrying the pins 66 are drawn out, then said slides are forced l down their full 'distance and locked by the screws 65 as before mentioned. The pins 66, as before -stated, are inclined in two direc tions, viz.: downward andr to one side in the direction that thel chuck rotates as shown by the arrow a (Figs. 3 and 7). This inclination of the pins imparts to them a claw like effect which serves to retain the cloth roll firmly against the face plate. 'lhen the slides 67 and 68 are brought down to force Ithe angular pins 69 into theouter cylindrical `surface of the'cloth roll so as to. provide an additional holding power. f'

i :The arbor 54' is rotatedfrom the short shaft 72 (Fig. 1) carrying the tight and loose i pulleys 73 and 74,.whi`ch shaft is rotated fromI any convenient source. From the double pulley 75, on said shaft, the belt 76 conveys the power to the large pulley 77 on the outer end of the arbor 54. smaller pulley integral 'with the larger pulley which carries the belt 7) around a groove of the small double pulley 8O journaled on the outer end of the rocker shaft 57. The other groove of-this double pulley carries the belt .81 around the pulley 82Y1nounted on the eutsecured to the rods 59 and 62.

ter shaft 83, 'shown more clearly at Fig. 3. This cutter shaft is journaled by one of Vits ends in the projecting end of an arm whose hub portion 84 is secured to the rocker shaft 57, seen more clearly at Fig. 1. The other end, back of the rotary cutter 85, is journaled in the arm 86 (see Fig. 3) of the handle lever '87 secured to the rocker shaft 57.

' The mechanism for advancing the cloth roll into the cutting field is as follows: `Re-r ferring to Figs. '1, 43, and 4, 88 and S9 are pulleys rotatably mounted on the pins .C10 and 91 projecting Afrom .the cross bars 92 and 93 94 is a'thin metal strip, having teeth onA its outer edge, a 'band saw being used, drawn tightly around these pulleys with their free .ends anchored irmly in the Ablock 95 secured to thehchuck carrying arm 61. `The rear face of thesel pulleys have a slight flange against which the back or toothless edge of the metal strip runs and is maintained thcreagainst by the rollers 96 and 971 J8 and 9.() are pulleys rotatably mounted on .the studs 100 and 101, which studs are adjustably mounted on the rod 62. 1.02 is a thin nietal band passing around these pulleys whose free ends, together with the toothed feed band 04, is secured in the clamp 103. The hand 102 is also secured to the lower end or rear projection 61" of the chuck carrying arm 61 by the screw 104, as shown more clearly at Fig. 5. ,The proper tension is maintained on the bands by means of the set screws 105 and 106 engaging with the uprights 55 and 107, shown more clearly at Figs. 1 and 4. 10S is a support frictionally mounted on the rocker shaft57 and carrying at its upper end the measuringI scale 109. 110 is an arm jonrnaled on the pin 00, seen at Fig. 1, and it.r'-arries at its lower end the pawl 111 adaptedto engage the teeth of lthe feed band 04. 112 is stop pin projecting from the bed. of the machine and. carrying the short pin 112L at right angles thereto, and. 113 is an arm mounted on the hub ofthe arm 11() and is secured. thereto by the thumb screw 114.

Setting the machine to cut oll` spools from the cloth roll of the exa-.ct width desired, is as follows: The thumb screw 114 is lirst turned until the end oflthe cloth roll has projected far' enough into the cutting iield to trim oil' the uneven or ragged end yof the roll whereupon the lever 87 is pressed downward to bring the rotary knife or cutter 85 into action for the trimming process, after which operation the cutter is allowed to drop into its normal position on the projection 115 rising from the bed., shown at F ig. 3.

Having previously determined the width of spools to be cut from the cloth roll which, let it be supposed is one inch, then the scale, 109 is brought up on'a line with the outer circumferential face of the cloth roll; the

pawl 111 thrown into engagement with the teetlrof the feed band 94 and is operatively held in such engagement by its` spring 116, 'whereupon the arnr 110 is swung on its support and to the loft a distance which will represent an inch movement forward of the cloth roll. This distance 1s determined as follows: The plteh ofthe leed band teeth represent the subdivisions of the scale; for

instance, if the pitch is one-sixteenth of an inch, and the width of the spools are to be one inch, then the operator has simply to' count sixteen clicks as the pawl is heilig `drawn back over the teeth of the feed band,

and when the pawl has passed over these will be carried to the right and away from thev stop pin 112, as shown at Fig. 4, so that in moving the arm 61 forward to cut anothers pool of the' saine width as before, the arm 11() is simply moved back until the -arm 113 engages the lin 112, which engagement will represent t 1e proper distance that thearin 110 is tobe moved baek to cut the proper Width of spool. It will,I of course; be understood that the arms 1107 and llcan be set to cut any/Width of spoolv required. The right handend of the scale being 'directly iii line with the cutting edge of knife, theoperator can readily see vif the-forward end of 'the cloth roll stands in pro er relation with the.

mark on the scale Whic i is to determine the width of the spools to be eut, and thus easily and quickly adjust the position ot' the arms 110 and 113 in case they have accidentally become disarraiiged or changed vin relation to each other, and thus avoid spoiling the spools.

While the'inachine is in operation, the

cutter 85 is kept inrotative action in the 'thc pulley 122,

manner previously described. To cut the cloth roll so' as ,to maintain a uniform width from the circumference ot' thel spool to the center, and also to keep the faces or sides ol the spools smooth and even, it'is necessary to keep 'the edge of the cutter inl proper-torni. lTo givey the best results, the --cuttcr should have what is called a Uwire edget.' To 'accoinplisli this so as to keep the cutter inperfectorder l'or each cutting, the emcry wheel 117 is kept in constant touch 'with therotating cutter while such vcutter is' in its normalI rearward position. ',llie engagement oll the omerv wheel will be. only just siillicicnt to maintain the 'proper cutting edge,

spee: l,'tlie pull on the cloth strip would inf crease as. the diameter ol' the roll increased,

which would result in unduly stretching land distorting the cloth. This would be particularly objectionable with cloth cut on the bias. To obiiate this differential travel, thc

l pullev 25 (Fig. 1) is lrictionally monntedon its sliatt so that the pressure ol the rolls 10 1?2 {Figa} and il is.v an adjustable stop screw oar-riedby the; -chuck carrying arm 61 toV prevent carrying As the rolls l0 and l l will control the l'ijictional drive ol the pulley and thus reduce the travel of the winding arbor proportionate to the deliver)r ot' tli'e rolls` 1t) and l1.4 i

As will be observed, by referring to arrows (L, Fig. 3, that the cutter and the cloth roll 8 rotate in the same direction. This feature is absolutely essential in cutting sections l'rom a roll ot cloth, yespecially when the cloth roll and cutter are ot the same diameter. ll' they. rotated inthe opposite direction, the two circuinferences would simply roll together and produce no,cutting cli'ect. ln cutting a single strip oi' cloth, the cutters must rotate in the opposite direction with their cutting edges lapped to give a shearing cut, but'w'hcn acircular cutter is used in cutting trairsverseljY through a cloth roll, the roll and cutter must rotate in the same direction.

While l show and describe the slid'esb as p i'ns, l liold myself at liberty to insert such liook-slntpcil ,pins in the tace 'ol' the chuck and not inthe slidesor in 'both slides and llaving thus described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by 1,011 'ters Patent isrw v l. l n a niachinc ol' thecharacter described,
