Application'flled March 12, 1909. Serial No. 484,135.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIVERT Mon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mangles for Small Articles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to im rovements in for collars, cuffs and like articles in which various finishes from dull to a high gloss are required.

I It is an object of this invention to provide an ironing machine in which the articles after being run through the machine are returned to the operator so that the articles may be sent through the machine any desired number of times without necessitating the operator leaving the feeding side of the mangle.

It is also an object of this invention to provide. means whereby a large number of the chute I by the operator after each has been properly laundried without necessitating the operator leaving the feeding side of the mang e.

3 It, is also an object of this invention to provide'an im roved mechanism for varying the tension 0 ironing rollers and for adjusting the same into and out of contacts It is also an object of this invention to provide in a small machine of the class set forth a mechanism adapting the ironin roller to automatically yield from the heate roller when an abnormally sized article is passing between the rollers.

The inventionrelates to the matters hereinafter described and more full pointed out and defined in the a pended c aims.

On the drawings: igure 1 is an elevation artly in section and with parts omitted.

ig. 2 is a vertical section taken adjacent one of the standards. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the adjusting end of the machine. Fig. 4

is an elevation of the opposite or driving.

r-s a t f, a handle view of "the suppertingf bracket ifOr, the ref:

turn and dumping basket or chute. Fig. 1' is an enlarged top plan view of the same. Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary detail of the stop mechanism for limiting the adjustment of the ironing roller.

As shown in said drawings: A-A, indicate end frame members, which are rigidly secured together at their bottom by means of stay rods a, and a channel bar a, rigidlv conneetsthetops of the frame members together. The frame members are cut awav or recessed on corresponding, sides and a plate a, is bolted to the frame over each recess. A bearing member a, is engaged be-' tween each plate a, and frame, and is adjustable by means of adjusting screws a, threaded through flanges a, integral with the frame. Journalcd in said bearing members a, is a.hollow heating roller B, which may be heated in any suitable manner. shown, however, a guard b, is secured to each.frame member and supported thereby and extending axially through the heating roller is an apertured pipe B, which may be connected either with a source of steam or gas depending upon the facilities.

stud shaft 0, is secured to the frame member A, upon which is journaled a pulley C.', adapted to be connected to the pinion a, b means of a clutch c, and said pinion mes es with a gear 0 secured on the re duced end of the heating roller whereby ai rolleris driven. J ournal'ed in bearings dd', supported bv the yoked end of adjusting bars E, betwecii the p ates a, and frame members, is a slmfi D, rigidly secured to which is the ironing roller D, which is covered with fabric D, as is usual. Said shaft is driven from the heatin roller 13, by means of a pinion d". secur on said heating roller, which IIlQSlIEm with a' gear (it, on the stud shaft d, which ..in turn meshes with a gear 0?, on the stud shaft (1, and a. pinion d", on said shaft d, meshes with a at d, on the shaft D. In each instance a of the gears are-inclosed in theguardsbr I Extending longitudinally of the rollers is an adjusting shaft F on one end of which" a. mutilated or segment worm gear f, which is actuated by a worm f, on the actuating secured thereto i r manu ltaamti nhousin f" fllqe nfiltldfififigment and ,worm an affords- ;fo'r the actuating shaft and Stops its ff, are secured to the frame and adapted to be engaged by a stop f on the segment for indicating the adjustment of the ironing roller to and from the heating roller.

For the purpose of eii'ecting said adjustments an eccentric E, is keyed on each end of the adjusting shaft on which is journuled an eccentric strap or ring 6, which is provided with a boss 6, in which is threaded a rod e'-'. Said rod is threaded for its entire length except for a short distance at its outer end and extends through .apertured lugs ee, integral with the adjusting bar E. A strong spring 6, is secured on said rod 6 between the lug e", and a nut e, providing a yielding pressure of the ironing roller on the heated roller. Nuts e'e, one of which acts as a lock nut, are threaded on the rod (2 which contact the lug e, of the adjusting bar E, when the actuating shaft is rotated 1n the roper direction and moves the adjusting bar to elevate the ironing roller. Of course, these may be adjusted on the rod to vary the movement of the adj usting bars.

A guide G, is adjustably secured on the frame in any suitable manner and acts to direct the articles between the rollers. Brackets H, are rigidly secured to the frame members, each of which is provided with connected sector-shaped apertures kk'.

A basket or chute I, inclining downwardly and forwardl to receive the articles after passing throug the machine and to return them to the operator is provided with arms or bars i, which engage in the. apertures in the bracket H. r

The operation is as follows: Steam or gas is used as preferred, and in eithereventsuitable valves are provided and if gas is used, suitable means are providai for igniting the same in starting. The 0 erator feeds the articles through the guide which may be adjusted to compensate for any adjustment of the ironing roller. The articles as for instance, collars, pass between the roll ers and are delivered into the basket or chute I, where they return by gravity to the operator. If a high gloss. is desired, it.

is usually necessary to sun the collars sev eral times through the machine to secure the desired finish, and it is obvious that any finish desired may be quickly obtained on a large quantity of collars without necessitating the operator leaving the feed position of the machine. When all the collars in the basket or chute have been finished, the basket i's tipped in the o posite direction, discharging the collars into a suitable receptacle at the rear of the machine. Owin to the shape of the apertures in the brackets H, the bracket may be easily and quickly adjusted from one osition to the other.

The ironin r0 ler may be adjusted to bear against the ieated-roller with. any degree of ressure by means of the actuating shaft and eccentric mechanism and such adjustmcnt may he quickly effected. Furthcrmore, with any degree of pressure exerted. the roller is yieldingly supported and any obstruction would not injure the machine.

Of course, many details of construction may be varied, and I therefore do not desire to limit this application for patent otherwise than necessitated bythe prior art.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a device of the class described a heated roller, an adjustable roller adapted to contact the same, a chute pivoted below the rollers, a shaft extending longitudinally of the rollers, a mutilated gear on the shaft, an actuating shaft, a worm gear on the actuating shaft meshing with the mutilated gear, a stop carried by the mutilated gear and a plurality of rigid stops adapted'to be contacted thereby to limit the adjustment of the adjustable roller.
