PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION...
Improvements in and connected with Machines for Gassing or.
Singeing Fabrics and the like.
I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT, of the Firm of F: Bosshardt & Co., of
4, Corporation Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, which has been communicated
to me from abroad by George Balfe, of Hellemmes, Lille, in the Republic of
France, Cotton Mill Manager, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in and connected with machines for gasing.
or singeing fabrics and the like in which the jets or burners are supplied with
water gas in lieu of coal gas.
It has been found in practice that such water gas contains a great deal of
impurities which very soon clog the said jets or burners which renders the gasing
or singeing defective.
The object of my invention is to overcome the said defects and consists in the
application to the pipe or pipes which convey the water gas from the holder to the
said burner or jets, one or more suitably positioned metal boxes charged with cotton
fibre or other suitable filtering medium.
This filtering medium serves to free the water gas from all impurities and to
deliver the same in a perfect pure condition to the said jets or burners and thus
prevent the same clogging..
The said box or boxes are so arranged as to permit of readily renewing the said
filtering medium.

Improvements in and connected with Machines for Gassing or
Singeing Fabrics and the like.
I, FERDINAND BOSSHARDT, of the Firm of F. Bosshardt & Co., of
4, Corporation Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention which has been communicated
to me by George Balfe, of Hellemmes, Lille, in the Republic of France, Cotton
Mill Manager, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in and connected with machines for
gassing or singeing fabrics and the like, for instance yarn or threads, in which the
jets or burners are supplied with water gas, generator or producer gas, in lieu of
coal gas, or with ordinary gas.
In practice it has been found that such water gas and other gases contain a great
deal of impurities which very soon clog the said jets or burners which renders the
gassing or singeing defective.

page_text: The object of my invention is to overcome the said defects and consists in the
application to the pipe or pipes which convey or supply the water gas or other
gases from the holder to the said jets or burners, one or inore suitably placed
receptacles charged with cotton or other fibres say silk, wool, rhami and
the like.
This filtering medium serves to free the gas from all impurities and to deliver
the same in a perfect pure condition to the said jets or burners and thus prevent
the same clogging.
The said receptacle is so arranged as to permit of readily renewing the said
filtering medium.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to be
appended hereunto one. sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures and showing one way of carrying out my
invention in practice, Fig. 1 being a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 3
a cross section thereof.
In accomplishing this and referring to the figures generally I form a receptacle a
having an inlet and an outlet & c respectively, a lid d and containing a number
of wire baskets e. The latter are filled with fibres preferably cotton fibres f and
are kept in position in the receptacle a by means of lugs a cast thereon. The
bottom of the receptacle a is formed with an extension f having a pipe f2 furnished
with a tapf. Into this extension projects an elbow piece 9 secured to the inlet b
through which the gas enters the filter, the said extension serving to catch the
condensed water which may be present in the supply pipe and the tap f³ to permit
of drawing it off.
The filter described is inserted into and the inlet and outlet b & c coupled up
with, the gas supply, in a manner as well understood, the gas after having entered
the receptacle a at 6 passing through the filtering medium in the said baskets and
leaving in a thorough dry and purified condition at c, the impurities being separated
from the gas by the said fibres.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is―
In connection with machines for gassing or singeing fabrics and the like wherein
gas is used, the use of a filter charged with cotton or other similar fibres and
inserted into the gas supply pipe, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
