Letters Patent No. 90,711, dated June 1, 1869.

IMIPROVED MACHINE FOR MANUFACTURING WEBBING FOR LADIES EANS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I vertical plane indicated by red line a: a: in fig. 2.

Figure 2, sheet 1, is a plan view of the machine.

Figure 3, sheet 2, shows a portion of the finished webbing.

Figure 4, sheet 2, is a section through fig. 3, taken in the course indicated by red line fig. 3.

.This invention relates to certain novel im n'ovements on machinery which is designed for cementing together two pieces of paper or woven material, so as to leave radial spaces, for the reception of the frame of a ladys'fan. p I I My improved machine is desiguedfor producing this fan-stock or webbing by a continuousor rolling operation, so that the work can be performed neatly, and

with great facility,.as will be'hereinafter explained.

To enablcothers skilled in the art to understand my invention, I will describe the best means known to me for carrying it into eifect. I

In the accompanying drawings- A represents a frame, which is adapted for containing and supporting the several parts which are adapted for producing the fan-stock or webbing.

B is a tank, for containing dextrine, or other .glutinous or cementing-fluid, which trough is arranged beneath a cylinder, 0, so that the periphery of the latter shall dip into the fluid in the trough, carry up this fluid, and supply it regularly to the periphery of a roller, 1). I

This roller 1) may be made hollow, and through or into it oblong slots, d d zl,i'are made, of a length and width to correspond to the'size of the spaces required to be left betwcentwo pieces of paper or other material which are cemented together, as will be hereinafter explained.

.Thesc oblong spaccs'd are also arranged in radial lines, corresponding to the positions of the frame or sticks of a fan when opened, as shown in fig. 2, or in any other suitable manner. I

Any number of sets of these slots or grooves may be arranged upon the roller 1), according to the length of the-roller, and the length and number or" the slots 0r grooves in each set.

Above the cylindrical roller D, and arranged in suitable journal-boxes, having their supports upon' the frame A, are three loosely-turning cylindrical rollers, E, between the middle one of which, andithe roller 1), one sheet of the' fan-material passes while receiving cement from the surface of said roller 1),

on such part-s oi it as do not pass over the'slots orgrooves d.

The sheet thus cemented is drawn from the roller H, between rollers E and D, and, after receiving cemcnt, it is drawn onward'between calendering-dinms 11 F, where it receives the other sheet, drawn from rollers H I E, and is cemented to this sheet, so as to form a single webbing, having spaces, jj, left between the two short-s, as indicated in iigs. 3 and 4.

For the purpose of smoothing; and causing aperfect adhesion of the two pieces oi material, the rollers F are heated in a suitable manner, so as to dry or partially dry the cemented material while it is being pressed between them.

The uncemented sheet, or that sheet which does not pass over the roller 1), is carried from the roller H, beneath the roller 1, overroller E; thence over the lower one of the calendaring-rollers F, beneath the sheet which receives cement, from roller D, as clearly shown in fig. 1. I

The rollers O D F F are rotated in the direction indicated by the arrows in fig. 1, so that both sheets of the fanunaterial are fed through the machine in the some direction, and at the same rate of speed.

' instead of leaving nncemented those portions ol one sheet of the material which are to form the pockets j, as above described, the entire suriaceol' one sheet may be coated with cement, by passing it over the surface of the roller C, al'ter which the pockets are left, by using the groovcibor slotted roller 1), in the place of the upper cnlcnderiug-roller 1*,whiclr I prefer the plan lirst described, of leaving the material uncen'ieuted at j, by arranging the slotted roller D over, or so as to work with the cementingroller, although I do not confine my invention to this arrangement. I l

For what are termed feathered fans, the unccmentcd ortions need not be zuran ed in radial iincsns above described, and us shown in sheet 2; but any arrangement found bestndapted for econorn izin g material may beadopted.

Having described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

the rollers, the two 1. The combination of the slotted roller 1) w th a. cement-supplying roller, G, in a machine for producing i'zubwebbing, substantially as described. 1

2. The combination of calendaring-rollers with a, roller, 1), which is slotted or grooved, substantially as described.

3. In a machine ad the printing of one opted for producing fern-webbing, of the sheet-s with a cementingsubstance on its way in heated calenderingrollers, substantially as described.

4. A rcller,1), which is slotted or grooved, substantially as and for the purpose described. JOSEPH W. WHITE.
