Letters Patent No. 98,135, dated December 21, 1869.
IMPROVIIMENTIN MAcHINE I'oR SPINNING AND ,CURLING HAIR.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
in Machines for both Twisting and Curling Hair, at
one and the same operation; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, and of its mode or manner of Operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and making a part of this specification.
My invention consists in the production of a Inachine, by which hair, such as is used for the stufling of mattresses, furniture, 85e., can be spun or twisted, and at the same time curled, both processes being performed by the continuous operation of the machine; suoli machine, also, at the same time, winding the curled-hair rope upon a reel or bobbin, convenient for further treatment or transportation.
Figure l is a general perspective view of the entire machine, showing most plainly the mechanism by which the hair is curled, and then wound upon the reel or bobbin.
Figure 2 is a detached view of the twisting-'mechanism.
Figure 3 is a separate view of the reel-support, the reel being lifted therefrom.
lhe machine, as illustrated bythe drawings, cousists of a rotatiiig-mechanism or spindle, by means of which the picked hair is spun or twisted, and ahollow tube or device by which the hairis curled, in connect-ion with which is a mechanism for further twist-ing the hair rope, as it is passing through the curling-tube, and which also carries the reel upon which the twisted and curledhair is wound, after these operations have been performed. A
The spinning or twisting-mechanism consists of'a hollow shaft or spindle, A, into and through which the picked Lair is passed, and which is rapidly revolved or rotated by means of a belt, 1, passing over a pulley ou a shaft, 2, to which motion is given by any sucient or convenient power.
Connected with the front end or mouth of such twisting-spindle, are two rollers, a and b, between which the hair passes before entering the spindle, one of which rollers, a, is lfixed in position with respect to the spindle, and the other of which, b, is so attached to the spindle, tha-tit can adjust itself to different distances from. the other roller, so as to allow a larger or smaller quantity of hair to form a larger or smaller rope to be passed between such rollers, such roller b being kept in contact with the other roller, or against the hair between them, by means ofa spring, c, or its equivalent.`
To secure a more complete and effective action of the twisting-mechanism, and confine thei twisting to' that portion of the hair immediately within the spindle, the hair is passed once or twice around the smaller roller b before entering the spindle A. This, also, prevents the hair being drawn too rapidly through the' twisting-spimlle.
These rollers may be made of any suitable material` but, preferably, one is made of metal or some hard material, so that the hair passed around it will stance, as vulcanized India rubber, or like material.
As the twisted rope leaves the spindle A, it is passed to the curlilig-lilecllanism, or tube B, which is firmly fixed to the ii'ame of the machine, and is open at itsv lower end, and has in'one side au opening, d, communicating with the interior cavity, and which openingis placed in the vside ofthe tube opposite to the position or direction ofthe twisting-spindle As the twisted rope passes into the tube B through the opening d, it passes partially aroundrsuch tube, and enters it with a short, sharp turn or bend, substantially or nearly at a right angle, and also takes another bend in passing down through such tube; andl from thence it passes to Aand around the reel .or bobbin C, which is supported on'and byan upright shaft, It,
which connects with the main shaft 2 by means of cog or other gearing 3, and by means of which suchshat't and the reel with it is revolved, so that the hair rope is continually being twisted below the tube B, and as it is drawn through it.
The curling of the hair is eii'ected or produced byV the twisted rope being made to pass into and through the tube'B, at a short, sharp turn or -bend over the edge of the opening d, and by gi-ving`, in connection therewith, and by the rotation of the shaft 7c, a further twisting to the hair rope, as it is drawn through such4 tube, and before it is wound upon the reel C.
It is found, from actual experiment and trial, thatsuch manner of curling the hair, by passing it through the tube B, at ashort, sharp turn or bend, in connection with the twisting, while it is being drawn through capable of being detached and removed wheniilled,
and another substituted in its place. Such reel is also so arranged as to be capable of being turned on its own axis, so as to wind upon itself the hair rope, after it has been twisted and curled.
Such movement of the reel is effected by the action of the two rollers, g and h,the former of which is fixed vrto the reel, and the latter to the frame of the machine.
