WRAPPING, TWISTING, AND POLISHING MACHINE.
Application filed November 2, 1908.
'lrenton. in the county of Mercer and Stateof New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved \l'rsu iping, 'lwisting, and Polishing Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The invention relates to machines for spirally wrapping paper or other insulating matc'rial around wires, and its object is to provide a new and in iproved wrapping, twisting and polishing i aciiine, arranged to cover a plurality of wires or cores with paper or like wrapping material. and then polish the covered cores and twist the same into a single strand, in an exceedingly simple manner and at one operation. I
The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will he more fully describcal hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
-A practical embodiment of the invention is. represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate eorrcspoiuling parts in all the views.

Serial No. 460.801.
volving twisting frame C on opposite sides of the shaft B and directly above the spools l), D, as plainly shown in Figs. 1 and'2. The wrapped cores E E, after leaving the wrapping devices F, F pass upward and through the polishing heads G, G arranged on the twisting frame C above the wrapping devices F, F, and serving to polish the wrapped The wrapped cores E E after leaving the polishing heads G, G extend upward and pass over guide rollers H, H, journaled on the twisting frame/C, and the wrapped and polished coresE' E conver e from the guide rollers H, H to an eye I he d centrally on the top of the revolving twisting frame C, so that the wrapped and polished cores E E are twisted together to form a single strand E, which passes through the eye I and extends upward and passes over a driven grooved drawing wheel J journaled on the top A of the main frame. The strand E extends from the drawing wheel J downward, then asses under a uide roller K, to finally win up on a spool i of a winding-up device K. Movement is given to the twisting frame C, the drawing wheel J and the winding up device K from a main shaft N. journ-aled in suitable bearings on the base A, and the said main shaft N is provided with fast and loose pulleys N, NMonneeted by a belt N (see Fig: 1) with other machinery for rotating the pulleys'N, K".
On the inner end of the main shaft N is secured a bevel gear wheel N in mesh with a bevel gear wheel 0 secured on a verticallydisposed shaft 0, journaled in suitable bearings arranged on the base A and the top A" of the main frame. The bevel gear wheel 0 (see Fig. 2) is in mesh with a bevel gear wheel P secured on a shaft P, journaled in suitable bearings on the base A, and on the inner end of the shaft P is secured a bevel gear wheel P in mesh with a bevel gear wheelC secured to the under side of the twisting frame C, and arranged loosely on the fixed shaft B. Now when the belt N is in engagement with the fast pulley N and the main shaft N rotated, then a rotary motion is given to the shaft 0. by the gear wheels N", O and a rotary motion is transmitted to the shaft P by the gear wheels 0', P, and the rotary motion of the shaft? is transmitted by the gear wheels P and C to the twisting frame C, to turn the latter in the direction of the arrow a row (1., as prtviously explained, then a rotary The spools D, l) are journaled in bearings D, secured to the upper faces of spur wheels D-, mounted to rotate on the twisting frame f, and in mesh with intermediate gear wheels D in mesh with a gear wheel B secured to the fixed ee ntral shaft 8, as plainly indicated in Fig. (5. Nov. when the twisting frame (7 is rotated in the direetion of the arrow (1 then the gear wheels D and with th m the spools are carried bodily around, and as the gear wheels D are in mesh with the gear wh ls I) and the latter are in nus-h I with the fixed gear wheel'B, it is evident a rotary motion is given to the gear wheels I)" and to the hearings D carrying the spools D, to rotate the same in the direction of the arrow I", that is, in the inverse direction in whieh the frame C is turning. By the arrangement deserihed, the wires or cores l) are prevented from being individually twisted and consequently weakened when the ma l chine is in use.
The wires or cores 1), E, unwinding from the spools D, D, extend upward through eyes, (3 carried on the twisting frame (I, and on the eyes are mounted to rotate loosely disks or supports F carrying the wrapping devices F, F, both alike in eonstruetion, so that it suffices to describe but one in detail. ()n the under side of each support F is secured a pinion E in mesh with a gear wheel B fixed on the stationary shaft B, so that when the frame (3 is rotated in the direction of the armotion is given to the supports F in the direction of the arrow e (see Fig. 5), to spirally wrap the wrapping materials E. E around the cores E, E. On each of the sup )UI'tS F is attached a bracket F carrying a horizontally-disposed bolt Q, on which is mounted the roll of paper or other wrapping material E (see Fig. 2), and in order to prevent the wrapping material E from. unwinding too fast, a friction device is provided, consistin of a disk Q, held on the bolt Q and presset against the roll of wrapping material by a spring Q coiled on the bolt Q and resting on nuts Q on the outer end of the bolt Q. Thus by adjusting the nuts Q the tension of the spring Q is regulated, to press the disk Q with more or less force against the face of the roll of wrapping material E", to prevent the latter from unwinding too fast, at the same time winding the wrapping material around the core E with sufficient tension to securely hold the Wrapping material in place on the eorrespondim core l). On the up )er end of the bracket I is arranged an eye I in vertical alinement with the eye C, and through the eye F passes the wrapped core E", to then pass t trough an eye held on the twisting frame in alinement with the eyes F and C, as plainly indicated in Fig. .2.
The wrapped cores E after leaving the eyes C pass through the polishing heads G,
tween )olishin blocks G of wood or other suitable material, and attached to the upper free ends of springs G, seeured at their lower ends on a support (rt prm-"ided with bolts G engaging the springs G" at or near the middle thereof, to give more or less tension to the springs with a view to cause the bloeks G to engage the wrapped core with suliieient foree topolish the same and to cause the wrapped material E t windy adhere to the core. 'i he support eeuied to the upper faee of a gear wheel tr mounted to rotate loosely on the eye and in mesh with a gear wheel 13 (see l) fixed on the shaft B, so that when the twisted frame this rotated in the direetion of the arrow (1', as previously mentioned, then the gear wheels G roll n on the fixed gear wheel i5, thus turning the polishing heads (i and therein: rotating the bioeks (,i around the eovered core for the purpose previtmsl mentioned. By the arrangement described, the polishing heads G are rotated, to cause the polishing blocks .i to give a high polish to the wrapping material, and to eause the same to firmly adhere to the core.
The drawing wheel J is geared with the shaft 0' previously mentioned, and dri\e':: from the main shaft N, and for this purpose the shaft 0 is provided near its upper end with an adjustable worm wheel 0, fastened in place by a set screw 0 and in mesh with a worm gear 0" ecured on a shaft 0 journaled in a bracket A' seeure-d by a set serew A, on a vertieal rod A forming part of the main frame A (see Fig. 1). ()n the shaft is seeured a gear wheel 0" in mesh with a pinion O secured on a shaft r journaled in suitable bearings on the top A. of the main frame, and on the said shaft (i is seeured a gear wheel 0 in mesh with a gear wheel J secured to or formed. on one face of the drawingwheel J. Now When the machine is running and the shaft 0 is rotated, then the worm wheel 0" in mesh with the worm gear 0 rotates the. shaft O whieh by the gear wheel G and pinion O rotates the shaft 0, and the latter by the gear wheels 0" and E rotates the drawing wheel J in tluxdireetiou of the arrow (1, to draw the strand E upward, thus causing an upward pull on the cores E, to unwind the same from the Spools D and to cause the cores to move upward through thewrapping devices I and the polishing heads G for the purpose previously ex lained. By having the worm adj ust ab 6 on the, shaft and the braeket A? adiustable on the red A", a gear wheel 0 of arger or smaller diameter may be used, to rotate the drawing wheel J with more or lesss eed, according to the nature of the cores 4 and the Wra ping materials E spirally Wrapped aroum the said cores.
llll at its upper end on the side of the twisting The winding up device K is mounted on a f frame K (see Figs. 1 and 9), carrying adjust- I able bearings L for the shaft L of the winding up spool L, to permit of conveniently removing the s )ool when filled and to replace the same with an empty one whenever it is necessary. On the shaft L of the spool L is secured a pulley L connected by a cross belt L with a pulley P on the shaft P, previously mentioned, so that when the machine is 1 running and the shaft P is rotated then a rotary motion is given to the spool Lto wind up the strand E The strand E between the pulley K mounted on the shaft K and the spool l passes over a traverse R mounted to travel on a traverse screw R journaled in the frame K and provided with a pulley R connected by a belt R with a pulley R secured on the spool shaft L, so that when this shaft 3 If is rotated a rotary motion is given to the traverse screw R, to cause the traverse R to volutions of the strand E on the s 3001 L, one alongside the other forward and ackward, as will be readily understood by reference to i Fig. 9. The ulley K is preferablymounted to turn loose y on its shaft K so as to be free to slide transversely on the said shaft to follow the traverse R.
In order to shift the belt N from the fast pulley N onto the loose pulley N in case either of the wrapping materials E breaks, the following stop motion is provided, controlled from the WM ping devices F: The wrap )ing material E of each wrap ing device after unwinding from its rol asses over a horizontal arm S (see Figs. 5 an 7) on the upper end of a vertical shaft S journaled on the support F. The wrapping material i after leaving the arm S passes down and 1 under an arm S fixed on the support F, and from this arm S the wrapping material ex- E tends up and to the core E, directly under the eye F. In case the wra ping material breaks 1 between its roll and t 1e core E, then the swing arm S swings back by the centrifugal 1 force of the rotating support F, until the arm S is stopped on a stop pin S, held on the support F (see Fig. 7). The arm S now projects radially beyond the support F, and its outer end is now in the path of a latch S, fulcrumed frame C (see Fig; 8). The lower end of the latch S normally engages and locks one end of a lever T, fulcrumed at T on the side of the twisting frame C, and pressed on by a spring T, to hold the lever T normally in locking engagement with the latch S, as shown in Fig. 8. On the outer end of the lever T is held a horizontally-disposed pin T normally clearing the upper end of a pin U on an arm U, secured to a vertical shaft V journaled in suitable bearings on the main frame, and on this shaft V is secured a horizontally-extending hook arm V normally eni gaging an upright shifter arm V secured on the shifter shaft V carrying a shifting fork V, engaging the belt N for shifting the latter from the fast pulley N to the loose pulley N or vice versa, according to the direction in which the shifter arm V is moved.
The shaft V is pressed on by a torsion spring V to hold the hook arm V normally in engagement with the shifter arm V and 1 the shaft V is pressed on'by a torsion spring V", to turn the shaft V as soon as the hook arm V releases the shifter arm V so that the shifting fork V moves the belt N from the fast pulley 1, to stop the machine. A stop arm V on the arm V limits the return swinging motion of the shifter sh aft V, so that the i belt N remains on the loose pulley N and a stop arm V (see Fig. 6) limits the swinging motion of the shaft Y.
shifter arm V so that the shifting fork V Now wrapping device F breaks then the arm. S
5 swings outward, as previouslv explained and shown in Fig. 7, so that this arm strikes the l latch S and swings the same outof engage- 1 meat with the lever T, whereby the latter is unlocked and swings into the position shown in dotted lines in Pig. 8,. When this takes I place, the pin T moves downward into the path of the pin U, and carries the latter along, so that'the shaft V is turned and with it the hook arm V, whereby the latter releases the shifter arm V and the spring V now turns the shaft V so that the shifting a fork V shifts the belt N from the fastpulley N onto the loose pulley N and the machine comes to a stop. The operator now makes the necessary repairs to the broken wrapping material E,,and swings the arm S back for engagement by the wrapping material, as previously explained. The operator also swings the lever T back into engagement with the latch S and shifts the arm V so that the latter is reengaged by the hook arm V and the shifting fork V moves the belt N from the loose pulley back onto the fast pulley N, to restart the machine.
