T all wizmn it may concern:

Be it known that l, WILLIAM C. lVs'rsc-N, a citizen of the UnitedStat-es, resiiiing in. the city and county of Camden, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and use ful Device for l'l ster-Qurfacing Fsper, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to sn'ew 1 device for Water siu'faeing paper sists in providing an sdjustably mounted pipe or pipes for conveying Water to a point adjacent the discharge.

It further consists of means for regulating the height of the Water in the pipe or pines.

other novel features v.v1ll he hereinsi'tsr it further consists of of construction. all as fully set forth.

Figure 1 represents 2 diagrammatic view of o. clevice for Water surfacing paper emhoclyi'np; invention. represents partial elevation and partial secionoi view of a portion of the (levice. Fig. represents 2!. vertical sectional view thereof".

1 have found in Water surfacing paper, it is essential that the proper amount of Water is applied. In the drawing, 1 have shown a construction which Ihsve found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to he understood that changes may he made in the construction, the a rrangeinent the parts may he vsrieri and other instruinentsiities may he employetl which will come Within the scope of the invention and I do not therefore desire to he limiiml in every instance to the exact construction as herein shown and clescriberl but desire to maize such changes may be, necessary.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the device for applying the Water which cons is of a tank or receptacle to which air is adopted to be supplier} in any su1t able manner, in the present Histories,

through :1 pipe 3, which leads from an air punip of any suitable construction. At inter 211s, I provide the air nozzles 5 each. of which is provided with a valve 6 said nozzles communicating with the interior of the air chmuher '2 and the air supply through said. nozzles being regulated and controlled by the valves 6. so that any number of the nozzles may be placed in operation as may be necessary.

Application filed Gotober 3.5, ieee. Serial No. 522,894.

7 designates a Water pipe or tank which oi any suitable construction and to which Water supplied in any desired manner. in the present instance, through a pipe 8 which is communication with the pipe 9 which leads to a suitable source of Water supply 10, the flow of "Wuter in said pipe 9 heingpcontrolled by the valve 11.

2.2 designates brackets which serve to sup port the air tank 2 upon the water tank '2 lllfl-llOld the some in proper position With respee to each other. Extending at suitable intervals from the Water tank '7 are the stand pipes or extensions 13, each of which carwhich passes tension 13 a suitable distance into the Water tank i. A. set screw 16 serves to hold the closure 0 cap- 1 2 in its adjusted position on the extension 13 in order that the position of the end of the pipe oarrietl thereby be nrljustecl with lmpect to the disehurg'e of oueof the nozzles ficsrried by the air tank 2 and so that any number of these pipes can be lowered to remove the some from operative position.

1'? designates a regulator or regulating de;

vice curried by the Water tank '1 said regu later, in the present instance. being shown as a pipe and being movably mounted in order that the height of the water in the pipes 15 can be regulated. As shown in Fig. 1 the paper '18 is fed from a. suitable supply and suitably passed around rollers 19 and one of the Water surfacing :ievi'ees 1. being sitiuitedupon one side and another surfacing device 1* being situnted upon the other side in. order that both SliiGS of the paper can he treated as understood from Fig. l. in this event the saitl Water surfacing device 1 is of the same construction as the. one already described and I provide a pipe 8 to supply the wafer to the water tank and a pipe 3 to supply the air to the air tank.

The operation of the device is follows -The sir forced into the tan 2 and Water into the Wat .r tank 7, the pipes 15 having been adjusted in order that the end of each is adjacent the opening of one of the nozzles. A. e sir passes from a nozzle it forms :1 SllCilOll in a. pipe 15 drawing up a sullicient quantity of Water to discharge the some in the form of spray against the surface of the paper. As it is necessary, as before stated, to supply the right quantity of a closure 14: which supports a pipe 15 downwardly through the .ex-

In addition, the height of the Water 1 H the same can be roise abovs states 2m Q fifififin water, the pig-' 5 15 can be raised Lmcl so 1 fmmssns'for vertically adjustin the pooui'odin order in adjust the position of end thereof with respect to its nozzle so films the some is always in the proper posision. standing in the pipes 15 can be controlled by mijust ing the position of the regulator: 1'7, for examplo, when the ssms is in the poof. "on s on in the pipes 15 regulator but by moving the regulator 17 in the direction indicated by the arrow it will be soon that Water can escape ihorsfrom, or will exliausi, so that the water in {also pipes 15 15 will then stood the same height as she aclju'sted position of the top of she segulsgor which will be lower, tlisefieop of which is evident, 4

By reason of, the sdgusmbility of the v held in their ozi'g'usosd position with rospo to the'mozzles should illlfi end of any of 'il-lli3 W pipes wear down. is the case sitar the ssicl pipes have been usezifor s aorta.
