Par′cel-ing-ma-chine′.
1. A press in which yarn, cloth, or wool, etc., is bundled up compactly for tying. See bundling-press, page 405; fleece-Tyer; Woolpacker, etc. The example is a machine for bundling and tying fleeces. The fleece is laid upon the table, the slotted belt brought over it and attached to the treadle-lever, whose depression draws the belt and brings up the twine-carrying fingers through the slots in the belt and over the fleece. 2. A machine in which strips of canvas or cloth are dipped preparatory to wrapping around ropes or cables. The example is for the manufacture of parceling or tarred canvas covering for ropes, seams, etc., in vessels. The machine consists of cutting and drawing and pressure rolls, in combination with an interposed tank for the tar in which the material is immersed, and bobbins or spools upon which the prepared canvas is wound in rolls. |
