Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Uniting Two or More Fabrics or Webs of Material.
Inventor: JACKSON HAROLD
Filed: 1904-08-20
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 18,072. Jackson, H. Aug. 20. Compound paper.-An apparatus for uniting two or more webs, such as crinkled paper with jute, canvas, paper, &c. is employed in which no external pressure, other than that due to the tension or drag of the materials, need be applied to the materials while uniting, thus preventing the crinkles from being pressed or flattened out of the paper or otherwise destroying its elasticity. The crinkled paper passes from the roller c<1> over drag rollers a', which give it the desired amount of tension, and over a roller d, which dips into a trough D containing pitch or paste, to the cylinder A, where it unites with the foundation material B. This material B passe= from the roller B<1> over drag rollers a so disposed as to guide the material B round a considerable portion of the periphery of the uniting-roller and to keep the material tightly stretched. The combined material F passes to the roller F<1>. A light pressure roller E may be employed to ensure contact of the materials. The cylinder A may or may not be covered with felt &c., or the felt may revolve on other rollers in such a manner as to bring some portion of it in contact with the roller A. If required, a drying- cylinder may be introduced between the cylinder A and the roll F<1>.
