SPECIFICATION- ".f

TO ALL IT MAY CONCERN: l W

Be it known that I, DAVID A. ALBEN, of Roxbury,in the county of Norfolltnand State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper Collars and Cuffs; and the Manufacture thereof; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,V clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters ofreference marked thereon:

In the manufacture of paper collars it has been a great desideratum to give that 4portion of the collars above what constitutes the neck band an outward flare, so as to give the collar a proper set on the neck and jaws,if a standing collar, or, if a turn-down collar, to permit its being turned down smoothly, leaving suilicient space between the standing portion and the turned-down portion forthe reception 4of 'a cravat or neck-tie. Attempts have been made to mould collars, cut from plane paper by means of dies and pressurento the desired form to effect these objects, but it has been found impractieable to give 'the requisite dare by such means. A similar flare is desirable in cuffs for ladies wear.

My invention consists in making the collar or cuil` of the proper -shapeor conformation, directly from the pulp, so that no stretching, swedging, or moulding-,will be required after the paper fabric has been formed.` I i effect this object by forming the paper fabricifrom which the collars or cuffs are to be cut upon a drum with its periphery so formed as to give the paper 4the necessary flareto produce the desired set in the collar or cud'.

In the accompanying drawings, l

, Figure 71is a view of theA drum on which` the paper fabrici'is formed directly from the pulp, with one of a series of pressing rollers so formed as to meshinto the concave periphery ofthe drum, and press the pulp into a compact sheet so -corrugated as to producecollars with the'requib'ite ilare Without moulding, stretching, stamping, or swedging. A is thel main drum -o n which the paper, fabric is formed, and A the axis upongwhich it rotates. B is one of the pressing rollers, and Bf its axis. It will b seen that the central portions of both the drum and pressing'roller are cylindrical, while the sides or e'ndsare conical, fornii'ng a concavity in the periphery of the drum, and a corresponding convexity in the periphery of the pressing roller; so that when a sheet of paper is formed on thedrum it willbe concave on one side and convex on the other, having two angles or corrugations at a. and a. f f

Figure 1 is a section o f the sheet or strip of paperY as formed-on the drum A..

Figures 2 and 3 are different style's of finished collars made in pursuance ofmy invention.

Figures 5 and 6 are different styles of ladies cuiis made in pursuance of my invention;` and Figure 4 is a reversible culffalsovmadein pursuance of my invention.

Thesheet or strip of paper formed on the drum A is of the proper .form and width to be divided in`its longitudinal centre, on line zz, fig. -1, forming two strips suitable to be cut into Haring collars, orforming a double or reversible cuff, as shown in iig. 4, without severing. After the paper fabric has been formed directly from the pulp on drum A, it is to' be finished by passing overV another drum and under other rollers, precisely as planepaper is finished, except that every drum and roller over or under which it passes is to be formed like` the drum and roller A and B` In short, the whole process of manufacturing the paper, from thebeginning to the end, is the same as on other cylinder machines, except that the drums and rollers over,'under, aud between which it passes, are to be made concave and convex, as shown in fig. 7. Hence it is deemed `unnecessary to.

give any description of any other part of the machine for the manufacture of this paper, except the form of said drums and rollers. o Whenthesheet of paper formed on said drum A, as shown in fig. 1,`h as been severed into two strips by cutting on the line :c x, iig. 1, said strips are 'to be cut into the proper lengths for collars l or cus, trimmed4 into the desired shape, the button` holes cut, and imitation stitches, hems, or embroidery stamped or embossed thereon, by anysuitable means, and the flaring portion of a collar may be turned down on any desired line to produce a turn-down collar. The paper may be polished, glazed, or enamelled, by any known processes, either in the machine or after being removed therefrom.

In this application I do not claim the machine on which the paper 4is produced, nor any part thereof, nor do I claim any particulanmode, of cutting, stamping, or embossing the collars, or of glazing, polishing, cr enamelling the paper; but what I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure -by Letters Patent, is

1. The method herein described of manufacturing daring paper collarsand cu's by forming paper directly Afrom the pulp so corrugated that it may be cutiuto collars or cuffs with the requisite dare, without subsequent moulding,- swedging, or stretching, substantially as described.

2. I also claim, as a new article of manufacture, a. Haring paper collar or cuff, in which the'are @produced by the'form give@ to-the paper in its mauufactlire from the pulp, substantially as described-. l yi 3. I also claim, 'asa new article of mfaufacture, papelrgo formed and corrugated. initsmaunfature from the plp that it may be cuty into Haring collars 011 cuffs, substantially as'. described.
