Application lcdn November 4.1El86. Serial No. 217,937. (-No modela Torrington, in the county 4of Litchfield and .State of Connecticut, have invented new Improvemeuts in Ceiling Attachments for Rolls and Slitters; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accom! panymg drawingsand the letters of reference Vmarked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part ot' this specilication, and

represent, inN Y Figure I, a front vicw'oi apair of rol1s,show

ing the ceiling apparatus upon the delivery' side of said'rollsgliig. 2, a vertical transversey section cutting through the carriage, bendingvrollers., and rolls, enlarged.

This invention relates to an attachment to be applied to slieetnnetal rolling and slitting apparatus, havingI for its object tocoil the sheet o'r strips as they pass from the machine'.

In slitting sheet metal-hat is, cutting' it into 'narrow strips for various purposes-the strips have been wound upon a drum usually by an attendant turning the drum as fast as the strips aredelivered. The sheet itself, when not slit, is alsowound in the same manner, it being understood that this' invention applies particularly to that-class of "metal which is rolled in long continuous sheets or strips.

The prime object ofmy invention is to avoid the drinn hitherto used and make the winding automatic.

In illustrating the invention I show a single pair of rolls, A 1,3, arranged in uprights CCi'n the usual manner, andso that power is applied thereto to act upon the sheet as it passes between the two rolls, the method of driving the rolls and their arrangement being too well known to require detailed description. Upon the delivery side of the rolls I arrange a carriage, l), in a gnideway, ILthe said guideway being parallel with the rolls A B and extending from one upright to the other, and so that the carriage maybe moved to any'point between the uprights and in aplane parallel with the rolls. In the carriage I) three rollersI", il, and II, are arranged, their axes being parallel Awith the axes of the rolls A B, and the several rolls geared together, as indicated in Fig. 1, so that revolution is vimparted to the rolls inthe direction indicated by the arrofws,

`rFig. 2. The two rollersG H are best arran ed in the same plane and -the roller F above, ut in a plane between the two rollers G H, so that the roller F may be depressed to some extent between the two rollers G Hin the usual man` ner for -bendingrollers, the extent of the bend imparted by the rollers F G II depending upon the extent to which the rollerF isdcpressed between the two rollers GII, this beinga coin- Inon arrangement of rollers for bending-purposes. f I I Longitudinally through the carriage is a shaft, I, taking its bearings in uprights, butso as to permit the carriage to' be moved longi tudinally thereon. y 'The shaft I carries a piuion7 lJ, which gears into the pinionson therespec'tive rollers, and so that the revolution of the shaft I will impart corresponding rcvolution to 'the rollersilr y 'The pinion .I is splined to the shaft I, so as to partake of its revolutionbut yet so that it lmay be moved with the carriage longitudinally,

and so that the carriage may be set at any desired position between the uprights and yet the rollers be in connection with the shalt I.

Revolution is imparted to the shaft Ith rough a driven pulley, K, carrying apinion, Lwhieh ,Works into a gear, M, on the'shaft I. Fixed tothe carriage D above the rollers is a curved receiver, N, the curve being backward an'd upward from the rollers, so as to present a concave surface forward.

As the sheet or strips, as the case may be, passes through the rolls A lit enters between the muere F o H, and by umso routeur G n;

is given a curve, turning the sheet or str1 ps upward and backward, according to the curve, and carrying the strips or sheet onto the receiver N, and because of the curvcgiyen to" the "sheet or strips the constant advauc'eof the sheetV or strips onto the curved receiver N1 causes the sheet or strips so on the receiver to constantly revolve, and thus coils the sheet or..

vstrips on the receiver as fast as it is delivered through .the bending-rollers Ill-G II, the coiled meta-1 resting and rollingon the receiver so long as it shall continue tobe t delivered from c rco It will be understood that if the metal be slit', 4

the loen'dirig-rollers.`

that auch' slitting is performed before it arrives at the bending-rollers, and as the strips are delivered Side by side through the rollers they thus pass onto the receiver N and will be accordingly coiled thereon, and Whenever the whole strip or sheet has been thus delivered upon the receiver, or at any time during the coiling operation, the coiled portion may be'removed by severing it from the advancing portion.

The object of arranging the carriage to slide longitudinally is that the principal rollers may be used at different points on their lengththat is, after havin'g rolled for a time at one point the carriage may be moved and set at another point, so that the coiling will be produced at that point; but in case the ceiling apparatus corresponds to the length of the rolls then the ceiling apparatus may be a fixture.

I claim- 1. The herein-described ceiling attachment for sheet-metal rolls and slitters, consisting in the revolving bending-rollers F G H, adapted to receive the metal to be coiled auditnpart to it the ceiling bend, combined with acurved receiver, N, fixed in the described relation to the bending-rollers, substantially as described,and whereby as the sheet or strips come through the rollers they will be delivered upon` said receiver and coiled thereon under the delivering action of the rollers.

2. lThe combination of the rolls A B, the carriage D, arranged on a guide parallel with and upon the delivery side of said rolls A B, re Volving bending-rollers F G arranged in said carriage, their axes parallel with the axes of the rollsA B, and curved receiver N, fixed to said carriage and upon the delivery side of said rollers F G H, Substantially as and for the prpose described. y
