Specification of Let-ters Patent.

f` Patented April-21. 1908 Appumin mea my 1o, mor. serial No. 373,001.

` To all whom itmay concern:

' l Be it known that we, EUGENE D.. C. BAYNE vented certain newand useful Improvements in Machines for' Windinlg and Placing Under Pressure a. Thread Coated with Non-Fibrous and Adhesive Material, of which we hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactl description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The objects of the invention are to provide an automaticallyacting device by means of which a iabriecomposed of threads coated' of the several coatings thereonf This layer' of adhering threadsis then employed to' form portions of the various fabricsJ or of fabrics analogous to those describedinour former applications, Serial Nos. 347,840, 847,839, 34s,(l93, and 370,139, in which both tubular and hat fabrics are shown. 1 lt is also ,applicable to a multiple number of other uses.

The invention comprises a tableor surface upon which the thread is applied and a..

spring pressed director 'whee ada ted to come into contact with all parts of t 1ev table in such a manner as to apply the coated thread directlythereto with pressure.

The inventionis exemplified in the device of a table colnliprisin an endless band of polished metal-to which the tenacious coat-` ing will not.-,adhere. This table is maintained in constant longitudinal motion by means of rotatable wheels (1r-drums upon which it is' Lextended and supported upon rotating rollers, and a spring pressed director wheel 1s mounted'upo'n a transverselynioving carriage, the movements of which are co erative with those' of /th'e table, so that a t iread is a lied thereto in a continuous spiral until allithe surface thereof is evenly covered. A

The invention alsofco'mprses thevarious detail forms of construction and combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in' the claims. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is Ia plan view of the device; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is anenlarged side elevation ofthe director wheel and its traveling carriage; Fi 44is. a plan view thereof; Fig. 5 is an e arged view of the director wheel and spring'pressed bearinfy In these views, 1 is an endless Vband or belt of polished metal mounted upon .the band wheels 2,2 on shafts 4 and 4. I The band wheelsare preferably coated with a friction surface 3 such as leather, which the metal bel-t engages. These wheels are rotated by means of the main shaft 4, and intermediate rollers 5 and 6 u on which the belt rests are rotated to assist 1n feeding the belt by means of bevel gears 7, 7, and 8,8, and 10,' 10 and 11 and `12, so that the belt will maintain a per- `fectly level surface andwill be assisted in its movements thereby.

The coatedgthread X is fed to the director wheel 13 by means of a guide wheel 14 and both guide and director wheels are Amounted in a carriage 15 which moves transversely of the table, and is secured upon and is'operated 'by the screw threaded shafts 16 and 17 rotated by means of a train of gears 18, 19,

2O and 21 and connecting gears G & I.

To feed the movablecarriage 15 the screw threaded shafts 16 and 17 have right and left hand threads since the driving gears 18 andv across thebelt, and'apply the coated thread y `in a close spiral thereon, and the movementof the carnage is so roportional and correlated to the longitutinal movement of the hielt that the belt will be closely covered-With a layer of adhering coated threads at thetime that the carriage has completely traversed it.

'- The thread is coated with a. compressiblc somewhat gelatinoiis and tenacious material such as unvulcamzed rubber and the dlrectpr wheel 1s adapted to-hly the saine upon the pol ished belt with regular pressure and thus pito come directly in contact with the coated Y of the idler bandwheel I3 is adjustable relaversirig the direction of rotation of the driv- 'ng wheel or drum 2.

iss

` carriage and at the other end to the cross bar B upon the screw threaded portion of the fork. The rollers 6 underneath the ,band 1 thread and hence must be formed of polished metal fwhile the rollers 5 are preferably coated with a friction surface such as leather to engage the lower surface of the band 1. lt is obvious that the spring pressed director Wheell could move longitudinally and transversely of the band 1 and the band or other supporting table for the thread could be stationary Without departing from the spirit of the invention.

1t is usually important that the fabrics should be made accurately in a predetermined length and for this reason the shaft 4 tive to the drawing;r w heel ,2 b y means ol bolts 31`and slots 32. A very fine. adjustment can be made by means of the adjusting screws 33. operating upon the sliding bearing 34 moving upon the bed late 35.

In order to eep the machine in con tinuous use it is desirable the' ehe screw shafts iti and 17 should be reversed in movement when the. carriage has traversed the moving table from i one side to the other and feed it back again to form another layer. This reverse movement may be accom lished in any1 desired A manner and is exempified in Fig. 2 4where a clutch 40 i's shown operatingto throw the spur gears 18 and 19 alternately into engage.- ment With the idler 20 and thus reverse the movements of thef-feed screws without re- Any number of d ireotor and guide wheels may be'rnounted in the carriage 15 that ma be desired.

Having describe the invention, whatI we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: v

1. In a device for the purpose set forth, a lo 'tudinall movable table comprising an eriiiass metalband having a polished surface, band wheels upon which said band is mounted, a transversely movable carriage and director and guide Wheels therein, and means for rotating said band Wheels and for feeding said carriage transversely to said endless metal band, substantially as described.

2. In a machine for the purpose described, in combination an endless band having a polished surface, rotatable shafts and drums upon which the band is supported, :t carriage i transversely movable thereto, director and guide wheels therein, a swiveled and spring pressed support for said director wheel' in said carriage, a pair of right and leftfeed screws in said carriage, gearing operatively connecting one of said drum shafts with said feed screws, and supports for saidk drums, gears and feed screws, substantially as de scribed.

3. ln a machine for the purposev described, an endless horizontal band having a polished surface, rotatable drums supporting saidy band, shafts therefor, intermediate sets of rollers support-ing said band, one set supporting the upper side of the band and the'lower set supporting the .low er side thereof, gearing operatively connecting one of the drum s rafts and supporting rollers, a carriage transversely movable relative to said band, a director wheel swiveled therein, a feed screW passingr through said carriage, and gearing operatively connecting said, feed screws with one of said drum shafts, substantially .as described.
