AMBROSE B. COLEMAN, OF OTTERVILLE, ONTARIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN XVILLIAM LANG, OF TORONTO, (JANA-DA.
PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING HORSE-COLLARS AND OTHER ARTICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,452, dated December 6, 1887.
Application filed May 28, 1887. Serial No. 239,675. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, AMBROSE BOOTH COLE- MAN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Otterville, in the county of OX ford and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Process of Manufacturing Horse-Collars, Saddles, 850., of Felt or other Fibrous Material; and I do declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make andiuse the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to the manufacture of horse collars, or other articles of a similar character, of felt or other fibrous material, and has special reference to the process of forming, covering, or stuffing, fulling, shaping, and finishing the same.
For convenienceof description, while I show in the drawings a saddle-blank, I have illustrated and described my process as ap plied to the making ofa horse-col1ar,although I do not confine myself to that alone, as it is evident that my process is equally applicable to the manufacture ofother articles of like na ture without any material departure from the process hereinafter fully set forth and described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figurel represents a tubular blank, of felt or other fibrous material having fulling properties, cut and stitched, so as to assume the form of a horsecollar when it is properly filled and its ends united. Fig. 2 represents a blank folded in the form of a collar previous to its being filled. Fig. 3 represents the filled blank after it has passed through the tolling-machine and been shaped and finished on the shaping-block. Fig. 4 represents a fibrous blank having fulling properties, cut and stitched, as indicated, to form a saddle.
In the drawings like letters indicate in the several figures similar parts.
A is the fibrous blank, preferably made in tubular form and of felt or other fibrous material having fulling qualities. The purpose of midway between the two ends, as shown in 5 Fig. 1. The purpose of the cutting is to conform to the lesser circumference of the lower part of the collar when completed, and at the same time to provide a convenient opening for the introduction of the necessary filling that is to give bodyand form to the collar.
The parallel rows of stitching C have for their object the separation of the blank into two longitudinal cells to be separately filled, the narrow or edge portion forming in the finished collar theouter rounded side or edge of the hames groove or recess, the inner or larger portion forming the main body of the collar.
The hames-recess is formed by the rows of stitching, which cause the necessary depression, and thus prevent the portion of the blank between the rows from being filled.
The lines of stitching D,(scen on either side of the cutaway part 13,) have for their purpose the restriction of the bag or fillable por tion of the blank to the shape best calculated to secure the proper form and proportions in the completed collar. The end portions outside of the stitching form the cape D at the upper end of the collar.
After the blank has been cut and stitched and filled, as indicated, its two ends are united by stitches or otherwise, and it is ready for falling. I use for the purpose of filling any fibrous material having fulling qualities of a lesser degree than that used in the tubular blank, although in practice I prefer that the filling used shall have little or no fulling qualities, my object being to have the filling retain as much as possible of its original pliability and compactness, so that the outer portion which holds the same will shrink and necessarily harden more effectually around it when subjected to the fulling treatment. Through this I secure a compact body, having sufficient pliability to the material within it to withstand wear on its outer surface and yet be easy on the shoulders of the horse.
The filling of the blank should be carefully done, so that each portion to be filled shall present, when the opening B is to be closed, the relative unlformity of surface that is to be secured in the collar in its finished state.
acter, the fulling qualities of the original blank having caused it to so shrink and harden over the non-fullable filling as to give to the whole a compact form, as originally designed.
\Vhile I prefer to first form the blank and then fill it into the required shapc,it is evident that the same result can be attained by first shaping the non-fullable filling substance and afterward covering it with fibrous material having fulling properties, and then, as before described, putting it into a fulling-machine. The outer surface of the collar may be made water-proof by any well-known method.
It will be seen that my invention consists, broadly, in the covering of a fibrous material having little or no fulling properies with a fibrous material having fulling properties ofa larger degree than the material so eovered,subjecting the same to treatment in afulling-machine, and afterward drying and shaping the material so fulled so as to assume the form required.
WVhat I claim as new and of my own invcntion, and for which I ask Letters Patent of the United States, is-
1. The process of, making horsecollars, saddles, and other articles capable of being filled, covered, and treated, as herein described, eonsistin g of the successive steps of first forming a blank or bag of the shape required, of felt or other fibrous material having fulling properties, then filling said blank with fibrous material having no fulling properties, or fulling properties of a less degree than said blank,next treating said blank so filled in a fulling-machine, and afterward drying said fulled material on a shaping-block, substantially as set forth and described.
2. The process of making horse-collars, saddles, and other articles capable of being filled, covered, and treated, as herein described, consisting of the successive steps of first forming the material that has little or no fulling properties into the shape of the article required, then covering said material so shaped with fibrous material having fulling properties in a larger degree than the material covered, then treating the material so shaped and covered in afulling-machinc,and subsequently drying and shaping the said material so fulled, substantially as set forth and described.
3. The process herein described for making horse-collars, saddles, and other similar articlcs, consisting of the successive steps of first forming a tubular blank of felt or other fibrous material having fulling properties, cutting, stitching, and shaping said blank,so as to assume the desired form when filled, next filling said blank with fibrous material having no fulling properties,or fulling properties of a less degree than the said blank, then treating the blank so filled in a fulling-machine, and afterward drying the same on a shaping-block, sub stantially as set forth and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
AMBROSE B. COLEMAN.
