'TBUCKLE.
Specification of Letters ZPatent.
Patented Feb. 19, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, MICHAEL T. OMAL- LEY and GEORGE MACE, citizens of the United States, residing at New Hartford, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Buckles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
Our invention relates to a buckle and we declare the following to be a full, clear. concise, and exact description thereof, sufficient to enable anyone skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the specification.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, efiicient, inexpensive buckle adapted to detachably secure a ribbon to the upper portion of a roving can such as used in spinning mills, whereby to indicate, as is customary, by a certain. color of the ribbon the grade of cotton in the given can. Heretofore, the mill operators have painted a narrow colored band about the upper edge of the roving can for the purpose of idenfound therein. This way is expensive for the reason that part of the time. some of the roving cans remain idle, while the grade of cotton to which said cans correspond is not being worked. Hence a larger number of roving cans is required under this old system than is necessary. Furthermore, the painted band on the roving can is in a short time defaced. Other features will be observed by referring to the drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of a fragment of a roving can, showing the indicator secured thereto;
Fig. 2 is a perspective enlarged detail view of a buckle employed;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the indicator, somewhat enlarged and showing same detached from the roving can;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section of the roving can, showing a buckle of the indicator disposed in locked position thereon;
Fig. 5 is a perspective enlarged view of a modified form of buckle;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view of the buckle of Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is a perspective enlarged view of a still further modified form of buckle;
the other end 5 secured Fig. 8 is a fragmentary enlarged detail view partially in section of the buckle shown in Fig. 7 which detail shows a ratchet wheel employed;
Fig. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of a modified form of buckle;
Fig. 10, is an enlarged view of a pin employed in the construction shown in Fig. 8.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the upper portion of a roving can, such as employed in spinning mills is represented by -1-. There is detachably secured to the can a colored tape 2 corresponding to the grade of cotton in the roving can. The ends of the tape 2 are fastened to a buckle 4 comprising the cross bars 3 and 6 and the side bars 3. The tape 2 has one end thereof secured to the cross bar 3 and to the cross bar 6 of the said buckle 4. The side bars 3 of the buckle 4 are bent at an angle as at 7 which angle has a slight curve, so that the buckle 4 will readily conform to the contour of the cylindrical surface of the roving can 1. Furthermore, the angle 7 of the buckle 4 is disposed nearer the end 9 than the end 10 of the buckle 4, whereby the said buckle 4 will remain normally in locked position, as will be hereinafter explained.
To use the indicator, the employee selects first the given tape 2 having the color that corresponds to the grade of cotton in the particular roving can to be marked and then disposes said tape about the upper portion or edge of the can -1, with the angle 7 of the buckle 4 facing outward as seen in Fig. 3. The operator next grasps the end 10 of the buckle 4 and turns said buckle 4 upon end 9 as a fulcrum. The turning o the buckle 4 causes the ends of the tape 2 to overlap and thereby draw the tape 2 tightly about the surface of the roving can 1-, whereby to secure the tape 2 securely in position. In the turning of the buckle 4, after the end 10 thereof has passed a given point, the strain on the tape 2 will cause the said end 10 of the buckle to be drawn toward the-surface of the roving can. The angle 7 of the buckle 4, will thenceforth lock the indicator in position. The indicator may be easily removed by pulling outward on end 10 of the buckle 4 and slipping the tape 2 off from the roving can -1-. As the roving cans are of a uniform size, the tapes 2 will need no adjusting as to length, however I have shown a means for adjusting the length of the tape 2 in a modified construction of the buckle.
In Fig. 5, there is illustrated a modification embodying the members 15-l5, which are swiveled to the bars 16 and 17, respectively of the buckle 18 by pivots 19. This construction permits the employment of a tape having a different color on each side thereof, so that the tape may be used to denote two different grades of cotton, by rearranging the ends of the tape 2 on the cross bars 3 and 6 of the buckle 4:.
Fig. 7 shows a still further modification of the buckle 4-, in that a reel 20 having a slot 21 is rotatably mounted upon the frame of the buckle 22 in. the position. of the bar 3 of the buckle & of the former construction, shown in Fig. 1. The reel. 20 is held against turning in one direction by a ratchet 23 whose teeth are engaged by a pawl 24 mounted to the frame. The tooth 25 of the pawl 2th is held normally in engagement with the teeth of the ratchet 23 by a spring 26, housed in a suitable recess in the frame of the buckle. The tooth 25 of the pawl 2-1- is disengaged from the teeth of the ratchet 23 by pushing inward on pin 27 which is adapted to turn the pawl 24.- upon its fulcrum 28 and thereby move the tooth 25 of the pawl 24 away from the ratchet wheel 23, so that the reel 20 may be free to turn in either direction. The pin 27 is reduced to form a shoulder at 29 adapted to abut against the corresponding wall of a recess in the frame,
5 whereby to hold the pin v2'7 within said recess. A member 15 is swiveled to the cross bar 30 by a pivot 19, as described with reference to the modification illustrated in Fig. 5.
Fig. 9 shows a buckle similar in construction to the buckle shown in Fig. 2. The only difference being a rounding of the parts Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the of the buckle, so that the parts will be cylindrical in cross section, instead of being flat or rectangular in cross section, as shown in Fig. 2.
Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: v
1. In a buckle, cross bars, a member swiveled to one of said cross bars, a tape having one'end attached to said swiveled member, and said buckle adapted to be turned upon one of its cross bars as a fulcrum, whereby to detachably secure said tape to a roving can.
2. In a buckle having side bars and cross bars for the attachment of the ends of a tape, and said side bars being bent to conform with a cylindrical surface, whereby the turning of the buckle upon one of said cross bars as a fulcrum, will cause the overlapping of the ends of the tape and the locking of the same in given position.-
3. In a buckle having cross bars, a memher swiveled to one of said cross bars, a tape having one end fastened to said member, and a reel for detachably holding the other end of said tape, whereby to adjust the length of the tape.
4; In a buckle having cross bars, a reel mounted to one of said cross bars, a tape having one end fastened to said reel, whereby to adjust the length of said tape, and a ratchet and pawl for holding said reel from turning in one direction. 1
In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
