Description
Fauntleroy's invention "consists of a collar-board pivoted centrally on a suitable bench, whereon the leather portion of the collar is stretched and secured, with both ends open, and a pulley made to operate by a foot-lever, over which a belt works, to which a stuffing-mandrel is connected, which is guided by one hand, while by the other the straw or other filling is fed into the mouth of the collar, and the strap actuates the mandrel to pack the filling. When the collar has been filled at one end to the centre, the collar-board is swung around to present the other end to the operator." (Patent Number 82,100)
