Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A device for everting tubular fabric articles comprising a support member having a hole therein, an elongate rigid tube, one end of said tube being mounted on said support member over said hole, said tube being adapted to receive thereover a fabric article to be everted, an everting rod slidable from a first position spaced from the other end of said tube to a second position within said tube and extending beyond said one end of said tube, means for pulling said rod from said first position to said second position, means for returning said rod from said second position to said first position, means for releasably latching said rod in said second position, means for releasing the latching of said rod from said second position, actuating means for providing mechanical movement for releasing said latching, and a linkage connecting said actuating means and said releasing means, said linkage being adapted to transmit said mechanical movement from said actuating means to said releasing means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
164 words
A device for everting tubular fabric articles comprising a support member having a hole therein, an elongate rigid tube, one end of said tube being mounted on said support member over said hole, said tube being adapted to receive thereover a fabric article to be everted, an everting rod slidable from a first position spaced from the other end of said tube to a second position within said tube and extending beyond said one end of said tube, means for pulling said rod from said first position to said second position, means for returning said rod from said second position to said first position, means for releasably latching said rod in said second position, means for releasing the latching of said rod from said second position, actuating means for providing mechanical movement for releasing said latching, and a linkage connecting said actuating means and said releasing means, said linkage being adapted to transmit said mechanical movement from said actuating means to said releasing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said latching means comprises a tooth on said rod, a latching bar for engaging said tooth when said rod is in said second position and a spring urging said bar toward said rod; and said releasing means comprises a mechanical member adapted upon actuation to move said bar away from said rod against the urging of said spring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
104 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said latching means comprises a cone shaped tooth fixed to said rod with the small end thereof toward said sleeve, a latching bar adjacent said rod, and a spring urging said latching bar against said rod, said bar having a recess therein, said recess being defined in part by a cam-engaging surface, said releasing means comprises a cam rotatably mounted in said recess on a shaft, said linkage comprises a shaft extending to a position remote from said latching bar, and actuating means comprises means for rotating said shaft attached to said shaft in said remote position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The device defined in Claim 3 wherein said cam is of such configuration that, when said shaft and cam are rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise, said cam engages said surface and moves said bar against the urging of said spring.
