Gills and Card Pins Previous to Scouring.
I, GEORGE WORRALL Hackle Maker Blinshall Street Dundee do hereby declare
the nature of this invention for COMPRESSING PACKETS OF HACKLE GILLS AND
CARD PINS PREVIOUS TO SCOURING to be as follows:-
•
A machine in metal, in shape of a mould to match the ordinary size into which
Hackle Gills or card pins are put previous to pollishing or scouring. This mould
is made in halves upper & lower the four outer edges of which may be terined
jaws. These jaws are cut in groves so that cords may be laid previous to filling
aud to be used after in tying the packets. Two vertical screws bring the moulds
together on the packets.
I claim for this machine the certainty of the packets being more circular and so
more ready for being put under the mangle for scouring, and thus the dubs or gills
or pins will not break through or out of the cloth during scouring so easily.

I, GEORGE WORRALL Hackle Maker Blinshall Street Dundee do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for COMPRESSING PACKETS OF HACKLE GILLS OR CARD
PINS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
The object of this invention is to provide an apparatus to compress into circular
shape a quantity of Hackle Gills or card pins when placed into a cloth or wrapper.
By being so pressed they readily assume shape, and so prevent there being forced
out of and through the wrapper during the opperation of scouring.
I make this machine in two parts, an upper, and an under both being alike in
shape, as shown in drawing at A Fig. 1. 4. 5 & 6. A screw and hand wheel are
used at each end of machine for opening and shutting, and compressing those two
parts together. In these two parts there is an elongated hollow recess of circular
form as shown by dotted lines, at side view at B. Figs. 1 & 4. and in section at B
Fig. 6. which hollow recess represents the desired shape to be given to the Hackle
pins &c. before mentioned.
To facilitate the binding of the packets I make in the above moulds as jaws
a series of slots or groves runing from side to side and crossed as at C.
Figs. 1. 3 & 4: These groves being deeper than the mould, or moulded recess,
are made to receive when the packet has been pressed, the cords which have to
bind it together; The said cords are tightened up by the small hand wheel and
ratchet at D. Figs. 1 2 4 and 5, while the packet is under compression. The two
plates marked E as at Figa. 1. 2 and 5. may be used by being put in an upright
possition as at E Fig. 6. so as to retain the pins in possition while being pressed.
The drawings as refered to, are
Fig. 1. side elevation of this machine.
Fig. 6. a section of machine.
Having now perticularly described the nature of my invention, and in what
manner the same is to be preformed, I declair that what I claim is
1st. The means as shown in drawing of a hollow mould to receive, and the
means employed to compress, packets of Hackle Gills or card pins into shape for
scouring.
2nd. The groves and there oblique possitions as shown so that the lacing by cords
or ropes may be easily and firmly done while the packet is under pressure.
As dated this 20th day of July 1886.
