Description: |
| This patent was improved by patent #421,514.
Abstract:
My invention relates to certain novel and useful improvements in that class of machines known as hat-finishing lathes, and has for its object to do away with all vertical movement of the hat-block, and to so construct and arrange the sandpapering mechanism that it will be adapted to the varying distance of the external contour of the hat-body from the center of revolution; also, to provide means whereby the hat-block may be securely held in position on the revolving shaft; and, furthermore, to enable the sandpaper or other rubbing-surface to act on the hat with a continuous and uniform movement and pressure, whereby not only a great saving of sand paper is effected, but also much time and labor are saved which would otherwise be consumed in tearing and utilizing said paper in suitable strips.
Claim:
In a hat lathe, the mechanism attached to the shaft which supports the hat-block, adapted to revolve in its-bearings without any vertical play, in combination with means for sandpapering the hat and mechanism for causing said means to act on the hat in different horizontal planes at different times. |
