WALL-PAPERING MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Cmnsrnm J. SIFiBEN- HAAR, a citizen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, residing at Oramel, in'the county of Allegany and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in construction, the desired features of \Va-ll-PaperingMachines, of whiclrthe fol-,

lowing is a specification;

The present invention relates to certain noveland useful improvements in Wall papering machines.

In carrying out my invention, it is my purpose to provid'efa machine of the character described whereby the edge of the paper may trimmed, and the paper applied to and pasted onthe wall or ceiling, rapidly and accurately.

A further obiect of ,my invention is the provision of a machine embodying -in its sunplicity, durability and convenience; the ma chine beingsoconstructed that the operator in using the same-stands at a distance from the Wall being papered, thereby enabling him to determine whether or not the patterns or rolls are matching and also to determine the accuracy of the work.

Still another object of my invention is to. provide a novel arrangement of Support for the pastin brushes, said siipport being actuated by the operator to raise and lower the same as hereinafter described.

I also aim in the present instance to pro vide a-machine which may be manufactured and marketed at a relatively low cost.

With the above-recited objects and others .of a similar nature in view, the. invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts set forth and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing :-Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the machine embodying my improvements, the machine being shown in its extended position. Fig.

2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view, taken through the same. Fig. 3 is a trans verse vertical sectional view. Fig. 4 is atop plan view. Fig. 5 is a perspective viewof thepaper roll holder and the pasting rolls and ltXLPtflClQ.

Referring now to the accompanying draw ings indetail, the letter A indicates the platform of my machine, said platform be ing provided with casters 1 for moving the same from pla'ceto-place. Arranged at one end ot the platform are the standards Ll- 2,

carrying the cross bar 3 having the bore t therein for the reception of the screw 5, the outer end of said screw carrying a crank or handle 6. The shank of the screw is threaded into the cross bar 7 of the vertically arranged movable frame 8, said frame having rollers 9 by means of which the frame may travel along the platform a certain dstance, when the screw is act-11 ated. To the vertical standards 10 of the frame is pivoted one end 11 of the lazy tongs 12, the opposite end of said lazy tongs being pivoted as at 13 to the end of the platform from that carrying the screw. ihe lazy tongs, it'will be seen, form an ex tensible body or frame for carrying arts of the wall paper machine, as will be iereinafter described. When the screw shank is turned to the left by means of the handle or crank, the extensible frame formed by the lazy tongs is extended or lengthened, the movable frame 8 traveling toward thev center of the platform. \Vhen the movement of the screw is reversed or it is turned toward the right, the frame is lowered. 'the frame. being retracted toward the end of the platform.

Mounted upon the platform and beneath.

the lazy tongs frame are the paper holding devices and the paste receptacle and paste applying devices which may now be described as follows:-The numerals 14-1 indicate side members in which is removably journalcd a paper holding roll 15. one end of the shaft of the roll fitting in an open slot 16 while the opposite end of the shaft of. the rollis journaled in the opposite side support. iy this means the roll may be remove when desired. The side supports are .verticaih; slotted as at 17, for the reception of the end studs of the roller lb, whereby saidroll may be e mated andi-lowcrcil into contact. with tlie-inc'li'nc-l 9 to which is attached the cutting 'knili Q0. The roll is grooiied as at 21 for the receplion of the cutter knife or plate by means the latter should be sharpened enough to easily cut the edge of the paper while the machine isbeing opened. By placing the roll'in the slots as described, the operator may lift the roll and let the paper pass under the same. The side supports carrying the paper holding roll and the cutter roll are formed with the projecting lugs or ears tudinally extending slot 49, terminating in 22 in which is journaled the paper guide roll This guide roll rests directly over the paste applying mechanism which is as follows:

The numeral 24' indicates the paste' re,

ceptacle which ,is in the form of a box orthe like, while 25 and 26 indicateupper and lower paste applying rclls,- respeetive ly, the lower paste roll being rotatabl'y' journaled in theside members 27, while the upper'roll 25 is journaled in the-vertical slots 28'of said members, the'springs 29beari'ng against the studs of said upper roll and holding the latter in yielding engagement with; the lower pasting roll. The paper which is indicated at P, as it comes-off of tl1e;.guide 'roll 23 asses beneath the. pasting rolland' thence eneath a guide roll 30 journaled in the projecting ends} of the memberscarrying :the "feed roll. The sides of thep'aste box,

are provided with angularslots 31 a'nd32,

respectively, for the reception of pins 33 and 34, carried by each of said members, the construction and arrangement "being such that these members which are connected by the cross bar 35 may be moved slightly relative to the paste box, the members and the cross bar-forming a frame for the pasting rolls and the guide roll at the endithereof. The ph'pegafter passing theguide roll 30 leads upward and'overthe paste brush 36 carried at the top of the lazy tongs frame,

also provided with pins 46 designed to penctrate the paper and extend through alining apertures 47 in the stationary strip. Carried by the top of the lazy tongs frame are the 'twolongitudinalbars 48, extending in parallelism and each formed with a-longia curved enlargement 5-0.

The numerals 5151 indicate two bars each having a hooked head portion 52each of said heads having connected thereto'a laterally extending stud 53 projecting through the adjacent slot 49 of the slotted .side bars each 'of the studs carrying a re- Mining block 54;. The bars 48' are also provided with other slots 55, elongated in the direction of the length of the bar, said slots receiving the cross rod 56 connecting the end of the top links. of the lazy tongs, and the ends of said bars are further connected by a cross rod 57.

58 designates a brush roller carried at the enlarged ends 59 of the bars 51, said brush being designed to apply the ceiling paper as hereinafter described. Immediately in front of the brush is a means for holding the edge of thepaper roll comprising a stationary cross strip 60 extending between the bars, and. a movable strip 61 pivoted to the rod 62 and normally held in engagement with 'the stationary strip by means of a coil spring 63, this device for retaining the end .of the paper roll being similar to that at the opposite end of the frame, as heretofore described.

'In order to remove the pivoted strips of I the paper end holders and thereby release the'same, I provide wires or cords 6464" connected to the ivoted or movablestrips of the clamps, said wire or cord extending downward to the platform, within easy reach of the operator so that it is only necand thereby release the paper.

It will be seen that the bars 51 carrying the ceiling brush and aper clamp are slidahle in the slots 49 oi the bars 48, so that they may be drawn outward or extended essary to pull the cord to open the clamp as desired, the studs 53 at the large ends of the bars 51 resting within the ciirved-poi I tions 50 of the slots 49.. Thus, the curved ends of the slots form'abutments for limiting the movement of the brush carrying bars.

'From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,

the construction and manner of employing my improved wall paper machine will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

By turning the screw to the left through I means of the'handle or crank, the lazy tongs Willbe extended and the machine raised in which position it is ready to paste the paper on the wall. As the tongs are 'extended. the paper is drawn off the paper roll, past the edge trimming knife, and

through the paste-applying rolls, where the paste is applied to the proper face of the paper. The machine is now moved forward on the casters until the wall pasting brush rests against the wall, when the operatorreleases the paper from the holding clamp by pulling on the wire or cord after which the machine is closed byreversing the direction of the screw. As the machine collapses or closes, the table will be drawn downward along the wall and the paper appropriately pasted. In applying the paper to the ceiling, the top bars carrying the ceiling brush and paper clamp-are extended relative to the slotted bars, so that they overreach the length of the machine. The paper is placed in position when the machine is closed, by attaching the edge of the paper in the clamp and asthe machine is open or extended the necessary amount of paper will be drawn olf the roll. The machine is then run forward on its casters so that the paper will be applied to the ceiling by the ceiling brush, the edge of the paper being properly released from the clamp by pulling the wire connection.

While I have herein shown and described one particular embodiment of my improved wall paper machine, by way of illustration, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine the invention to all the precise details of construction herein setforth as modification and variation may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.
