1 Mypres'ent invention relates to an improved crushing '.cheesecloth, is employed as the base, 'the facing of silk,

board or appliance used 1n fashioning patternsfor designs in cloth or fabric for` various purposes and especially designed for vuse in fashioning linings for burial caskets. The primary object of the invention is the provision of means whereby a symmetrical pattern or design may'` be fashioned withaccuracy and uniformity in the material withv a minimum expenditure oftime and labor.

i Inthe formation off strong and Adurabl'evpmaterial7 of the i lining.Vv a backing such as terial is stitched or basted, and in carrying out; my invention the patternis fashioned in the lining with the facing materialbeneath and the backingv material uppermost.Y When the design or patternhas been completed on `the yboard the 'lining is removed while. in inverted position and then the ycomplete .article is of course turned] over`l with the facing material uppermost and thebacking material beneath.

The invention consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of movable and removable ,parts combined with a stationary frame whereby the pattern or design is fashioned orkfiormed aswill hereinafter be more fully setvf'orthfand claimed.

l In the accompanying drawings I have, illustratedone complete example ofthe physical embodiment of my invention wherein they parts are combined and arranged accordingvto thebestmode I have so far. devised for the lpractical application of the princi- :ples of invention.

While I have illustrated one design or pattern fashioned on the crushing board, it' will Abe understoodthat other artistic *arrange-A v ments and combinations of parts may be made whereby'the design or pattern can be varied, and it will be apparent that various materials also may be used in the formation of the lining or other completed article.

Figure 2 is a broken perspective view y to whichA cl`o th,or` other suitable mad the facing material rigid cross bars Vand the' guide lgrooves 5 alongj its upper lary orof the lappliances showing a portion of the facing" material and the backing material with the movable pattern forming barsin closed position. Figure 3 is a plan View rof an artistic pattern`fashioned in a lining. 55 Figure 4. is an enlarged View showing onexo-f the figuresof the pattern, the figures 'of course being repeated theA staggered arirangement of rows as seen in Figure Figure 5 is adetaill perspective' viewshowing 60 the frame of the appliance'.y Figure 6 is a detail view showing one end vof a removable parting strip. Figure 7 is a transverse vertical sectional view atline 7, ofF-igure 5. Figure 8 is a transversey vertical sectional 65 viewl at line Si 8 of 'gure 5*.V Figure-,9 is a detail sectionalview showin ,themovable bars in open position,- and igure 10 is a similar enlarged view showing thebars in closed position. Y Figure 1-1 'is a perspective 70 detail View enlarged, showingy the bars with thereon andthe ytransversely arranged parting strips and Figure 19. isa view' similar to Figure 11 but with the movable barsin openposition. Figure 13 is a perspective view showing a portion ofv one of the crossV bars w'th a pattern former thereon. 4 In carrying out my inventionk I utilizeza stationary framewhichis of suitable size and shape and provided with side rails1-1E and 2, one end of the framebeing closed as at 3. Y l y,

Vithin the open vframe is arranged a 'central longitudinallyv extending guide bar 4 which is' fastened at onev end of the frame, bar is fashioned with side edges. A stationfixed cross bar 6 is `fixed to this guide bar with `its endslocatedingrooves 7 fashioned at the"inner sides ofthe frame and above the yend pieces 3' ofthe frame. A slide 8' is mounted upon this longitudinal guide bar and theslidephas spaced'tonguesQ whichfit into the grooves 5 ofthe guide bar-to permit longitudinal movement of the slide with relation to the guide bar 4.l Y

At one end of the slide across hea-d10y is fixed with itsk endslfocated'in the grooves 7 and this cross head of course moves-'with che 199y i slide when the latter is moved. In addition to the two cross bars 6 and 10, I employ a plurality of intermediate cross bars 11 that are slidable with relation to the slide, and

have their ends guided in the grooves 7. Thel slide cross bars 11 are arranged in parallelism transversely of the longitudinal slide and they rest on this longitudinal slide. The slide cross bars are connected at their lower sides by a plurality of flexible strips 12 fashioned from canvas or other suitable material the ends of the strips being attached to the cross bars 6 and l0. Along the upper edges of these slide cross bars they arebevelled as at 13.

It will be understood that all of the yslide bars 11 are relatively movable andbefore the operation of crushing the material is started these slide bars are spaced apart with the tapes or flexible strips connecting them. The flexible strips, however, permity the slide cross bars to be moved into contact one with another, and this is'done after the facing or silk is put in position as will be described.

Each of the slide cross bars is provided with a suitable number of spaced pattern formers by means of which the desired figure is fashioned in the facingmaterial of the lining. Each pattern former comprises a post 14 of suitable shape and -size which is provided with a rubber cushion 15 against `which the silk or other facing material 19 is placed in the formation of the ligure of the pattern. The post 14 as seen inFigure 13 is provided with a pair of retaining pins 16 which are pointed to penetrate the silk facing and between these pins is located a headed basting pin 17 at which point the canvas backing 2O is basted to the silk facing 19. The cross bar 11 also has a plurality of pattern forming pins 18 which are headed and it will be apparent that the facing material may also be` basted throughoutthe area of the facing to the backing material at these two pins 18 if necessary for the formation of the'pattern .inthe silk facing.

The lining comprises the facing material 19 of silk or other suitable material, and the backing material 20, which is preferably strong and durable and suitable for the purpose of supporting the facing material. The backing is stitched or basted to thevfacing at suitable points in order to form the finished product asl in Figure 3 before the lining has been removedl from the crushing board.

The silk or facing material 19 is first ap! plied to the pattern forming devices while the cross bars are in spaced relation as seen in Figure 1, and removable parting strips or formers 21 are interposed betweeny the staggered rows of the posts of the cross bars, said parting strips being arranged transversely of the cross bars. These parting strips, as

lbest seen in Figure 6, are fashioned with rounded heads 22 and they are of proper size to rest upon pair of rows of staggered posts. The strips 21 of course depress the silk or facing material to form channels and above these channels the projections or protuberances are fashioned in the facing on the posts. Then the spaced cross bars are pushed together, and the backing material which may be of cheesecloth is stitched or basted to the facing material or silk at the points 17, and in this manner the facing material and the backing material are fastened together to form the lining.

After the pattern has been completed the parting -strips 21 are first removed, and then the lining may be lifted from the retaining pins, and of course the inverted lining is turned with the facing side upwardly and is ready for use.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination in a crushing board with a frame and a central, longitudinal, guide bar fixed with the frame, afixed cross bar on the guide bar, a slidable member resting-on the guide bar, and a slidable cross bar fixed to said member, intermediate cross bars slidable in the frame and flexible connections between all of said bars, and pattern forming devices on the cross bars.

Y 2. The combinationwith a frame having opposite lateral grooves, of a cross bar fixed in gthe grooved frame, a longitudinal centrally disposed guide bar rigid with the cross bar, a slide on the guide bar, a cross bar rigid with the slide and having its ends slidable in the grooves, intermediate cross bars having their ends slidable in the grooves, flexible connections between adjoining bars, and pattern forming devices mounted on all of said intermediate cross bars.

3. The combination with a frame having opposed lateral grooves, of a fixed cross bar,

a central, longitudinal bar fixed to the cross bar and provided with parallel edge grooves, ay slide having tongues complementary to said edge grooves, a cross bar fixed to the slide and having its ends slidable in the lateralv grooves, intermediate cross bars above the `slide and longitudinal bar and having their ends slidable in the lateral grooves, flexible connections between adjoining cross bars, and pattern forming devices on said cross bars. f

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

CHARLES WENDT.
