21,831. Brierley, J., and Melling, S. Oct. 3. Folding; wind ing ; measuring.-A stationary creasing-block A of wood, tinned iron, or any suitable material, employed for folding or doubling fabrics, is shown in plan in a machine for doubling, winding, and measuring fabrics. The blcck A is of triangular form with the base a1 at the rear, the fabric travelling up the inclined surface and leaving the device at the apex a2. The block is mounted on cross - supports c, and can be given a lateral motion by a screw and hand-wheel d, for obtaining an uneven fold. I the machine shown, the fabric enters from a batch roll and passes over the creasing- block, the folded fabric passing between vertical bars b and between a roller i and a nip roller j, from which it is led to a lapping-frame or batch roller L. The power shaft 1 drives by bevel-gear, the shaft 3 of the roller i, and a pulley on the shaft 3 carries a belt driving the batch roller L. A measuring-disk m is driven by worm gearing from the shaft 3. A similar machine is also described in which the creasing-block is arranged vertically.
