APPARATUS FOR DYEING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914.

Application filed December 13, 1913. Serial No. 806,373.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Josnrir BENOSOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at innsterdam, in the county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for -Dyeing, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which i appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to dyeing apparatus.

One of the objects thereof is to provide simple and convenient means for facilitating the loading and unloading of a dyeing machine.

Another object is to provide reliable and durable apparatus for locking the parts in operative or active position.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.

In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of various possible embodiments of this invention, Figure 1 is an inside elevation of a portion of a carrying member with associated parts; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a portion of Fig. 1, showing the parts in another position; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic elevation of a carrying member with its shaft; and Fig. 5 is a detail view, showing the mounting of a dye stick, certain parts being broken away in order to disclose the structure more clearly.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the dili'erent views of the drawing.

Referring now to Fig. t of the drawing, there is shown a rotary carrying member or spider 1, such as is illustrated in my copending application, Serial No. 806,372, filed Dec. 13, 1913. As is well known in this art and as is shown in the above application, these members are used in sets of two or more, carrying between them, concentrically with their shaft, sets of yarn-supporting sticks, and it is with the securing means for these sticks that the leading features of this invention deal. v

About the circumferential portion of the carrying member 1 are a series of cups 2, opening outwardly in a radial direction and adapted to support one end of the sticks 3 as illustrated in Fig. 5 of the remaining end of these outer sticks is preferably squared, as indicated at 4-, and rests within a ratchet-wheel 5, journaled in the companion carving member 6, which has a general conformation similar to that of the carrying member or wheel 1. The stick 3 may be rotated, as by the star-wheel 7 Mounted upon the outer portion of wheel 1 are slides 8, each provided with a set of projecting lugs 9, spaced to register with the cups 2. These lugs pass through slots 10, formed in the web of wheel 1, and the slide rests beneath the flange 11 of this wheel. The slots 10 are so proportioned that the lugs may be simultaneously thrown into a position uncovering the sockets, as indicated in Fig. 2, or, on the other hand, may simultaneously cover a plurality of these cups and hold the sticks journaled 7 drawing. The

therein in operative position. The slide is secured in these alternative positions by a set-screw 12, passing through a slot 13 in the web 11, and tapped within the slide as shown in Fig. 5. This set or looking screw serves, when tightened, to clamp the slide against the flange 11. Suitable additional guides, as the pins 14., passing through slots 15, may be provided if desired.

As shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing, each slide preferably extends over a plurality of the cups 2. This figurealso illustrates diagrammatically at 16 the inner sticks coacting with sticks 3 in supporting the goods to be dyed.

In the operation of this apparatus, the sticks are first inserted within the sockets or cups formed in the ratchet-wheels 5 and are then dropped within the cups 2 at their free ends, the slide being in the position shown in Fig. 2. When the cups, corresponding to a given slide, have received their sticks, the slide is then thrown, by means of the handle of screw 12, into the locking position shown in Fig. 1 and the screw tightened. The sticks 3 are then in position to rotate freely in the cups 2 Without chance of accidental displacement and the use of springs, which may be attacked by the dyeing solution, is obviated.

It is to be noted that the term lock s is used throughout in a broad sense as indicating the securing of the parts in position.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely difierent embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all mat- 'ter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in alimiting sense.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In dyeing apparatus or the like, in

combination, a pair of rotatable carrying combination, a pair of rotatable carryingmembers, a plurality of sticks rotatably mounted upon said carrying members and ositioned between the same and arranged a substantially-equal distance from the axis thereof, and a slide upon one of said members coacting with a plurality of said sticks Copies of this patent may be obtained for and adapted to be moved into a position in which it locks the corresponding sticks upon said member against lateral movement when said sticks are in operative position.

3. In dyeing apparatus or the like, in combination, a pair of rotatable carrying members, a plurality of supporting sticks positioned between said members and arranged concentrically about the aXis there-' of, sockets upon one of said members adapted to receive the corresponding ends of said sticks, sockets upon the other of said mem'' bers each of which has its outer sideopen, a slide upon said last carrying member hav ing a plurality of projecting portions adapted with the slide in one position siinultanes ously to close the corresponding sides of said sockets and hold the corresponding sticks in position, and means adapted to hold said slide in locking position.

i. In dyeing apparatus or the like, in combination, a flanged carrying member having a plurality of sockets thereon open toward their outward sides,-a slide secured beneath the flange of said member and having projections thereon passing through slots in said member, said slots being of a length to permit said projections to move into or out of registry with said sockets, and a locking screw passing through said flange and into said slide.

In testimony whereof I affix my signa- F ture, in the presence of two Witnesses.
