FABRIC-PASTD' G MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.v

Patented Aug. 4, 1908.V

Application led November 25,' 1907. Serial No. 403,599.

To all @7mm it may conce-rn:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM'J. ODox- NELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gloveisville, county of Fulton, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabric-Fasting Machines, of which the following is a specificaf tion.

The invention relates to such improvements and consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and subse uentl claimed.

Reference may e ha to the accompanying drawings, and the reference characters marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.' Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.

1 of the drawings is a top plan view of nl v improved fabric pasting machine. Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is' a central, vertical, longitudinal section of the same taken on the broken line 3 3 in Fig. 1.

This invention relates to machines for asting together two plies or webs' of fa ric, which fabric is adapted for various uses, such for exam le as the makin of lined fabric loves in t e manufacture o which it is found desirable to paste together the lininv fabric and the outer fabric for the gloves before the glove blanks are cut therefrom. As many of these glove fabrics are o f delicate color and texture, it is highly desirable that the application of the adhesive substance to the fabric plies should be so regulated as not to distigure or injure the. fabric.V

The principal object of this invention is to regulate the. t istribution of the adhesive material to the fabric, so as to secure the necessary adhesion of one plyA to the other without injury tio the color or texture.

Other ob'ects will appear in connection with the fo owing descrlption.

Referring to the drawings wherein the invention is shown in preferred form, 1, is the main frame of the machine, u on whichis rotatively mounted in suita le bearings a paste-roll, 2, around which passes a paste` carrying belt, 3, which also passes around a roller, 4, in the lower part of the paste-box, 5.

Rotary. movements 'are imparted to the paste-roll through the pulley, 6, fixed thereto, whereby a continuous movement is imparted to the belt, 3, over said roller, carrying to the up er side of the roller a supply of paste from tie paste-box.

Above the paste-roll is a brush-roll, 7, roi tatively mounted in bearings upon the frame of the machine, and adapted to be driven by a gear, 9, meshing with a gear, 10, on the shaft of the paste-roll.

The brush-roll is mounted in adjustable bearing boxes of ordinary form, the position of which is regulated by the hand-wheels, 11, whereby greater or less pressure, as desired,

can be caused to be exerted by the brush upon the paste-roll.

In advance of the paste-roll are bearings, 12, for a cloth-roll, 13, the fabric, 14, from which roll passes between the paste-roll, 2,

and brush-roll, 7, whereby the underside of said fabric is forced by the brush-roll into contact with the paste-covered surface of the apron or belt, 3, and the paste carried by said apron is ap lied to the underside of the fabric, 14, and body thereof by the ressure of the brush-roll.

In rear of and bearings, 15, for a cloth-roll, 16, the fabric, 17, of which passes around a. small uideeaten more or less into the elow the. paste-roll are roll, 36, just 1n rear of the paste-rol the fabric, 17, passing below the fabric, 14, which also passes over said roll, 36, whereby the asted'fabric, 14, is ap 'lied and-caused to a here to the un asted abrio 17.

The two-ply fabric thus produced, which is represented by the single line, 18, in the drawings, passes from the roller, 36 between apa-ir of presser-rollers, 19 and 20, the up er of which rollers is mounted in adjusta le bearing boxes of ordinary form, whereby the pressure of the upper roller upon the lower roller can be `regulated by means of the hand-wheels, 2 1, so as to force the two plies of the fabric into a more or less intimate contact as desired.

From the rollers, 19 and 20, the two-ply pasted fabric asses to the cloth-roll, 22, upon which it 1s wound;

As a means for driving the several rolls a pulley, 23, on the paste-roll shaft, 24, is connect-ed by belt, 25, with a pulley, 26, on 'the shaft, 2T, of the roller, 20, and a pulley, 28,

-on said shaft, 27, is connected by belt, 29,

' driven from the paste-roll, 2, by means of the intermeshing gears, 9 and 10, and the roller, 19, is driven from the roller, 20, by means of intermeshing gears 32.

Each of the cloth-rolls, 13 and 16, is provided with a brake formed ba cord, 33, passing over the respective rol and secured at one end'to a fixed support at, 34, and at the other end toa weight 35. The clothroll, 13, and the roller, 36, are so arranged that a direct line of feed from one to the other thereof will intersect the brush-roll, 7, so that the fabric, 14, will be drawn upwardly against the.brush-roll and away from the aste-roll. The fabric, 14, is thus brought into contact with a very limited area only of the paste-roll or aste-belt carried thereby, maklng it possib e` by adjustment of the brush-roll to regulate exactly the quantity of paste applied to the fabric.

The paste-roll may be made of any desired material, but I refer to make the same of practically unyie ding material, suchas wood or metal.

The paste-carrying belt, 3, may be made of canvas, rubber, or other material adapted 'to carry a coating of paste from the pastebox to the upper side of the paste-roll.

Any known means for supplying paste to the paste-roll may be substituted for the paste-carrying belt if desired.

For certain purposes of the invention, the brush-roll may be made of any desired material, but I preferably provide said roll with a yielding surface, as-by making the roll in the form of a rotary brush with radially project-ing bristles, splints, or ybrushfiber.

For the purpose of more accurately re ulating the supply of paste to the paste-rol I provide a brush'v or scraper, 37, preferably comprising a strip of felt, or other yleldmg material, adapte to engage the belt, 3, on about the horizontal plane of the axis of the aste-roll, 2, as shown in Fia. 3. This doctor lirush or scraper is preferaby mounted u on a bar, 3S, the ends of which are mountet in slideways, 39, in the housing, 40, containing the bearings for the paste and brush-rolls. The bar, 3S, is adapted to be forced against the belt with more or less ressure by means of screws operated by han -wheels 41. This brush or scraperl serves to remove from the paste-belt or paste-roll any excess of' paste so that the amount delivered to the fabric can be regulated exactly.
