PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to means for Carrying off Impure
Steam or Fumes arising from Yarn-sizing Apparatus and
other Machinery.
We, HENRY MARTIN, of 63, Queensbury Road, and JOHN HARGREAVES MARTIN,
of 55, Grange Street, both of Burnley, in the County of Lancaster, Tapers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates especially to what are known as tape sizing machines, but
it is also applicable to other sizing machines, and to other machines wherein a
trunk is used to carry off impure steam or other fumes rising therefrom which
may deposit dirt on the sides of the trunk.
It frequently happens that this dirt accumulates to such an extent that at any
vibration thereof the dirt will become dislodged and, in the case of a tape sizing
machine do much damage to the rollers and material under treatment if any such
is passing through the machine at the moment.
To avoid this we fit a grid or series of bars or grating or the like through which
the steam or fumes can pass freely at the bottom of the mouth of the trunk or
immediately beneath it, and we prefer to slope or curve the bars or similar grid or
grating upwards towards the centre to direct the dirt to the sides of the trunk
when it falls.
Any dirt falling thereon will be prevented from falling into the machine and
be caught thereby. The troughs for catching the water of condensation may be
fitted to this grid or like device and both may be made removable and separable
for readily cleaning out the same.

page_text: hereby declare the nature of this invention 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 especially to what are known as tape sizing machines, but
is also applicable to other sizing machines, or to machines wherein a trunk is
employed to carry off impure steam or other moisture, or fumes, arising from
materials under treatment by which a deposit of dirt is caused to be formed or
collect on the inner sides of the trunk. It is of frequent occurrence for dirt to
accumulate in the trunk to such an extent that any vibration will cause the dirt to
be dislodged from the said trunk, and in the case of a tape sizing machine cause
much damage to the rollers and material.
We avoid this by our invention which we hereinafter describe, reference being
made to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a
portion of the trunk with our invention applied and shown in relative position
with the yarn rollers g. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the front of a portion of the
said trunk. Fig. 3 is a plan, Fig. 4 an end view, and Fig. 5 a transverse section
of a trough with grid constituting our invention. Fig. 6 is a side view of a part
of the trough showing the application of a modified form of our invention.
In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.
In this invention we fit to the mouth of a trunk as t represented in Figs. 1 and 2,
an angular grid formed by a series of bars as b; the lower ends of said bars are
attached to or rest on, or in, the hollow of a trough as d. We form the trough d
of any light non-corrosive sheet metal with the edges d' bent over and wired, and
an outlet at any convenient part for the condensed vapour to pass therefrom.
The grid
formed either of wires or of V-shaped bars that may be produced
by pressing or stamping from sheet metal, or of bars of other preferred form.
The grid may be separate from the trough or may be combined with and united
thereto. When the grid is constructed separately from the trough the ends of the
wires or bars forming the grid are united to metallic strips as c, Fig. 3.
b
In a modification of our invention we form the grid so as to rest on or in one
channel only of the trough and rising angularly within the trunk as shown in
Fig. 6. By these means any deposit of dirt that is formed within the trunk, and
beads of water produced by condensation are conducted into the trough.
In order to obtain access for the purpose of clearing the deposit that may have
collected in the troughs or in the grids, we secure the troughs to the trunks by
means of strap hinges as e or an equivalent.
We prefer to employ grids that are constructed of wires or bars as hereinbefore
described but other forms of grids may be employed in like manner without
departing from our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is-
-
2
1. In tape sizing and like machines in which a trunk is employed to carry off
impure steam or other moisture or fumes arising from materials under treatment,
the combination of a trough as d with an angular grid formed of a series of wires
or bars as attached or applied to the mouth of said trunk in the manner and for
the purpose substantially as herein before described.
2. In tape sizing and like machines in which a trunk is employed to carry off
impure steam or other moisture or fumes arising from materials under treatment
the combination of a grid resting in the channel of a trough as d and rising
angularly within the trunk as shown in Fig. 6.
3. In tape sizing and like machines in which a trunk is employed to carry off
impure steam or other moisture, or fumes, arising from materials under treatment,
the combination with the said trunk of a grid that is either secured to or rests on

page_text: or in a trough that may be made removable and connected to the trunk by means
of a strap hinge or an equivalent.
