I then cut the'prepered elotli into longstrips of suitable width to be made into patches as it passes through the naehine; as hereinafterdescribed. I

In the drnwings- G represents the side portions ofthe frame of the tahle,'hav i ng thelegs, G"'-G, the twoside portions of the .frame being connected by the piece 2;, whiehjl'denomi nnte a platen, a'nd'th'e spn'e bounded on three sides-by the hide-pieces GG and the platen m is lilleli up with wood, G, t vo grooves of slots lisi'ng made longitudinally therein.

Sai1l groovcsor channels cxtending'through the platen :o, and along in said grooves or'channels, move the feeding-chains N N, as they are operated by other portions of the machine, as hereinafter.described. I

The top of these side-piece's'G G and platen 21: together w-ith thc wooden portion G, is made' somewhat suiooth, and upon the same pla'ne., The lower-portion ofithis'framc is still further strengthened by means I of the tie-rods G G. To the top ofth'is table, and over'thc platen w, are firmlysccured the uprights B B t he u-ppcr pan-toot which terminate in the'posts A, and th'ey'aro strengthened in their positionshy means offthe cross-bar A v I 4 The shaft D, having a, common eccentric or crank-connection, D, is fitted into pro'pcrbcarings A A inthe uprights A, and to one end of said shaft D is secured the wheel or disk a, having the projection or pin 2' upon its outer face, and to the other end ,of said shaft is fitted the clutchgcollar c, which is secured to said shaft'D by inean-so'f aspline and key, or by any other proper means, and said clutch-collar a has an annular groove,'-b

thereon, into which are placed the forks b of the clutch-lever b, which is pivoted at b to the piece E said piece E being bolted or secured to the upright, A. l V a The clutch-collar c is so secured to the shaft D hyits key and splinoithat it is free to move longitudinally upon the neck or small portion 6 of the shaft 1), and'still, when the shaft, D revolves, it shall carry with it'the clutch-collar c. The hub, b,of the toothed wheel A, has a ratchet, 0, upon its inner end, which engages with the ratchet 0 upon the outer end of the clutch-collar c", and the said toothed wheel A turns freely upon the shaft D in either direction. i v

The shaft A. turns in proper bearings, which aremade upon the opposite or, back side of the uprights A A,

. and uponone end of said shaft A is secured the pinion A, and to thc'other end of said shaft A is secured the lars n at", between the tooth or projections 12'' at, each set of. said teeth projecting into the chain between two drive-pulley a. The arm, a, is secured at its lower end to the rock-shaft a, having its bearings a a secured to the standard B, the upper part of said arm a? having a longitudinal slot rnado thercin, inwhich operates the pin 2'; and to the outer end of said rock-shaftja. is'sccured the lover a, which is attached or pivoted to the upper end of the connecting-rodd, the lower end of said rod being connected to tho projcction or pin upon' the reciprocating toothed segment 7:, this segment being hung upon a pivot, is", upon the side of the frame G.- To the lever a, and at a little distance from-one end, is pivoted the rod a u'hich rodis also pivoted to the vibratinglever a", said lover-bein loosely pivoted to the outer end of the shaft h. The shaft dturns in'proper bearings s in the frame Gfand to this shaft, and near .one end, is attached the toothed wheel 7: and the rollers or cy-linders 0 whose diameters are greater in one direction than the other, (although this feature I find is not essential,) are firmly secured to the 'saidshaft e The toothed collarsj n. 'n are also attached tothe shaft e over which collars pass thecndless feeding-chains NN, and to the shaft 0 is also secured the toothed wheel 8 which engages with the toothed wlicol c ,'\'vh ich.is secured to the shaft 0 working in hearings, said bearings being secured to the frame G in any suitable iioanncr. The rollers c" are 'firmly secured to the shaft immediately above the rolls c and-are'of such diameter that the peripheries of the rolls a and clshall nearly or quite touch. 1'0 the lover or arm a is pivoted t he .paivl 13", said' pawl having a pin therein or projection thereon, near the lower end, against the underside of-which pin or, projection thospring i impinges, as sh wn'inore fully in fig; 4, plate 3, the elastic force of the spring-W3 keeping vthe upper and sharper end of the pawl z' alivays'in contact with the periphery of the ratchet-wheel e". The two shafts 5" and it work in proper hearings in the standards 'jh and it, said shafts havingflthe rolls 7& and 7; attached thereto, the former abovo the latter, and the hearings in the said standnnds h and it are elongated vorti'cally,'and thc'serews 71* are turned into the tops of said standards, v the lower ends. of said scrows bearing down upon the shaft 2"", the rolls I -and it being thus forced into close v contact, so that, whenv tho shafrgh is rotntod, the relish shall cause the rollsh with the. shaft 2'", torotate by the friction of the rolls 7L9 against the rolls hf.

The toothed wheel 1: has a circular cavity, [-3 inado upon the outer side, of suliioicnt depth to receive the dog and. spring k, both of which are secured to the inner face of the pinion-plate k Asinall'annulet, 1:, is made around the outer-edge of" this entity, said annulct being cut away, however, in two places, at Zr" It, and is so. cut that there are two square ends, 0' 11, one directly opposite the other, across the cavity it; while the other and opposite ends of each portion of the. annulct are made curved or bevelled.

This feature is shown more fully in figs. 9 and 10, plate 3, and, by this construction, said annulet la i divided into two portions, each portion having one square end, 22*, and one curvcd-cnd, o. The plate In is not secured to the fuce'of the toothed wheel [12 but' said wheel is first placed upon the shaft'c tnifning'froely thereon, and the plate It is then placed upon said shaft, outsidc of and close to the said wheel, and said plate is then secured to the shaft a, either by means of a spline and koy, or by any other suitable means.

The toothed collars nn are secured to the shaft c said collars having projections or-tocth, it -0t, thereon 1 made in sets of two in each set, with a small space between them, these sets being at suitable distances apart around the peripheries of the said collars. The endless feeding-chains N N are made of small, .thin pieces of metal riveted together, one end of a singlepiece being loosehy riveted or pivotedbetween the ends of two others, two pieces which form one link, alternating with a single piece which forrns the next link.

This kind of chain I do not claim as new, separately considered, as thpt device is old. To the uppcror outer edges of the chains are secured, at proper intervals, the pins 8 s, and the chains N N pass over these coladjacent double links, and upon each side of every single link, these sets of teeth or projections serving to keep the chains in position upon the collars, and also togive-thc chains their longitudinal movement along the table. The pulleys n n upon the shaft n, said pulleys having a flangc upon each end, serve to assist in keeping the chain inits proper place, and renderits movement easier; and the pulleys n" n, underneath thota'ble, also v serve thosirine purpose, and, if tho chain should by any means get stretched or lengthened, said pulley s n n e tense v 3 be lowered in'the-v'rtienl sle't made inthq rods n n, and secured at'any desirable elevation by tightening thoscrews 1t. v I I I -Th con ne :tingrod-]) is attached at one end, D, to the 'crnnk D upon the shaft D, and the lower end, 01', iS'nttac liedt o the plunger the conr'ieution being made bymeans of a pin; d, passing through the-two'e y'es D?

little wider thou the die e. V

The supportsff, each ha'ving the flat part fi, at the lower end, are secured to the uprights B B, or to any other convenient part of the nnnchine, the other end extending'up orei; the table oij 'l xi 7 A spiral spring is place upo hu Pin -end of the support f, and the spoolf is placed thereon, and held in place by opin, x. or by a, nut-,.ds may be desirable. 7

One end of the spiral spring bears against the shoulder f while the other end bears against the spool f thus creating friction, which prevents the spool from turning too easily uponits spindle. I

Another support, f, is seeuredto one of the projections O, and having a spindle thereon, which supports" in like manner the middle spooh'f, which is kept from turning too freely by means ofa spiral spring similar to the others.

Having thus described the construction of my machine, I will proceed to describe the mode of its operation. The cloth, which has been properly prepared with paste or other adhesive substancc,.and dried in the piece, v is cut'into strips a little wider than the diameter of the die, so that they may readily pass through the slot or orifice :v, and said strips are then wound upon the spoolsf f, which I do by proper machinery. The loose-end of each strip is then inserted into the opening 0, and pushed through the orifice so, with the'pnsted side down, is passed out, up, and between the rolls 7L8 and 7L9, and from thence it would bebetter that the strips should pass over a drum or pulley worked by the other machinery, although this is not actually necessary to the successful operation of the machine.

The upper rolls, It, are pressed down upon the rolls k by turning down the screws 2" upon the shaft i The lower end of each tube (2 is filled with a suitable piece of sponge or similar material, which is left protruding a little below the end of'the tubes, and water is placed in the box g, and fills the pipes g Power is applied to the pulley a and the shafts A" and pinion A", revolving, cause the toothed wheel A to revolve.

If the clutch-handle b be thrust in towards the machinc,-the clutch G engages with the ratchet 0, upon the hub of the toothed wheel A, and, as the said clutch is keyed to the shaft D, the toothed wheel A causes the said shaft to revolve, and a reciprocating vertical motion is given' to the plunger and plate D with the bar F and sponge-tubes d", the two water-tubes being securedin the slots 7L ,,while the, middle tube may be permanently attached to the bar F by screws or otherwise. t

The pin '2', in the wheel a in its revolution, operates in the slot 1', and causes the arm a rocleshaft a and arm a to perform a'reciprocating rotary motion, said motion being communicated to the toothed segment k- The motion of this segment .causes the toothed wheel is to performalso a reciprocating rotary motion' a little more than half way around, or a little more thanhalf a revolution, said toothbd wheel is turning loosely upon the shaft e during the downward movement of'thc rod 0., and when said rod has finished its downward motion, the point of the dog It is forced into one of the spaces'lc", and, as the red at and toothed segment perform their upward movement, the square end of the nnnulc't it"impinges against the dog It, and forces it, with the plate 1: and shaft c to make half a revolution. 7 This motion, through the toothed collars n" 1 upon the shaft a", gives an intermittent horizontal movement to the chains NN, and the distance of each-movement of the ehainis equal to half the circumference of the snid collars rd-the distance between the centres of the dies e and sponge-tubes d -th'c distance between the pins s 'a and the semi-cir-cnmferencc of said collars a all being equal.- I If a collar be laid upon the table G, and across the two chains N'N, at the next forward movement of the chains, two "of the pins 3 8 move the' collar along uponlthc table untilit stops'at the properpoint under the sponge tnbes d g-and when the-said tubes next move downwarth th sponges in their lower ends, being dampened by the water from the pipe 9, just touch the collar at the throep'oints where thebutton-holes' are to be punched, and dampen the collar at those parts. As the plunger-plate D, bar F, and tubes-d move up again, the Ripper end of the rod 0", being properly adjusted, just't ouches the under side of the arm'mof the valve in the. outlet 1 ,,slightlyraising it, and n drop or more of water drops from tho'outlet upon-the sponge in the tube d. In this way the sponge may be kept at any desirable and uniform degrceQof dampness:

Whilc'thc plunger and tubes 02? are moving up, the-chains N'make another forward movement, and the parts of the collar which have been dampened arebrought immediately under the orifice of the counter-die e.

As the arms a and a move upward, the pawl e, upon the arm a, causes theratchetqrheel c'?-to make a rotary inovcmcnt, and the strip L, being pressed betwcen therolls h and h, is unwound from the spool f, pulled through the orifice :o a lit'tle more than the width of a patch,,and, at the next downward movement of the plunger-plate D it strilcesthctops of the punches D and forces the die a down through the stripL' and v aperture 0 and the end of the die presses upon the parts of the c ollur whichhave been dampencd,-a'nd presses the patch, which the die c has cut from the'strip L in itsdownwardpassage,hard upon the dampened places on the collar, where it remains, and as the collars pass out between the rolls 0'' undo, the patches are pressed harder upon the collars, and make them smooth and uniform in their appearance.

In applying patchcsto collars of differentlcngths, the two outer or end sponge-tubes may be moved inlo r out, by loosening the nuts-o, moving the tubes to the desired position, andtightening' the nuts again; a'nd if. g the tube (2 is not immediately under the outlet 9, the water may drop into the side puns or ducts d, and run from thcnceinto the tnbc d, and the nuts e upon the two end punches, may be vloosened, the punchesmpvcd in'or out to their desired position in the slot F, and the nuts tightened again.

Each intermittent rotary movement of the rollers it and h 'pulls the strip L.th'r0'ugh the slot r sutliciently to move the place in the strip L where-the last patch was cut out uwa'y fromunder the die a; so that the next downward movement of the said die may cut out a whole patch. I

dispensing with the pins-s c, upon the chains N N, I am enabled to apply pu'tches to paper in the roll, strip, or shcc't,'a'nd cut the collars from such paper, after said patches have been applied. I Instead of using the spiral springs :cto raise the punch-dies e out of the orifices am the counter-dies 2:, I propose to make a longitudinal slot on-the under side of each end of the plunger-plate D and a transverse .slot in the middle, and insert the fianges'z, upon the tops of the punches, into the said slots,- so that the plate D, in its dowxiward andupward movements, shall both force thcsaid punches into and withdraw them from the orifices o in .the counter-dies Having thus described my invention, em-rename: new; and desire to ee cure hy Letters Phteiltfis- 1.
