I JOHN SYKES, of Acre Mills, Lindley, near Huddersfield, in the County of
York, Card Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVED PORTABLE AND ADJUSTABLE APPARATUS FOR DRIVING, AND SPEEDING,
THE CYLINDERS OR ROLLERS, OF CARDING ENGINES, AND THE GRINDING ROLLERS
OR WHEELS, DURING THE GRINDING OR POINTING THE CARD DENTS OR TEETH OF
OARDING ENGINES to be as follows:-
"
Generally in the grinding and pointing card dents or teeth, by reason of the
diameter of the card clothed cylinder or roller being much larger than the diameter
of the grinding roller, or grinding wheel or wheels, the surface speed of the cards
has been greater than that of the grinding instrument.
This invention consists of improved portable and adjustable apparatus, for
driving and speeding the card cylinder or card covered roller, during the operation
of grinding the cards thereon, and for driving and speeding the grinding roller,
employed for grinding such cards.
I employ an adjustable supporting rod and clips which are attached to the
framing of the machine the cards of which are to be ground-The supports carry a
short shaft on one end is a bevel wheel on the other end are fast and loose pulleys
and a grooved or band pulley, the bevel wheel gears with and drives a like wheel
on a short shaft the other end of which carries a worm gearing with and driving a
worm wheel on the axis or shaft of the card cylinder by means of which the latter
is driven at a slow speed-The grooved or band pulley by band drives a like

page_text: pulley on axis of the grinding roller or grinding wheels so that the latter receives an
accelerated motion-The fast and loose pulleys above mentioned are in communica-
tion by strap with the ordinary driving pulley on the main or driving shaft as
ordinary.

Improved Portable and Adjustable Apparatus for Driving and
Speeding the Cylinders or Rollers of Carding-engines and
the Grinding Rollers or Wheels during the Grinding or
Pointing the Card Dents or Teeth of Carding Engines.
I JOHN SYKES, of Acre Mills, Lindley, near Huddersfield, in the County of
York, Card Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVED PORTABLE AND ADJUSTABLE APPARATUS FOR DRIVING & SPEEDING
THE CYLINDERS, OR ROLLERS OF CARDING ENGINES, AND THE GRINDING ROLLERS
OR WHEELS DURING THE GRINDING OR POINTING THE CARD DENTS OR TEETH OF
CARDING MACHINES "and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
ג'
Generally in the grinding and pointing card dents or teeth, by reason of the
diameter of the card clothed cylinder or roller being much larger than the diameter
of the grinding roller, or grinding wheel, or wheels, the surface speed of the cards
has been greater than that of the grinding instrument.
This invention consists of improved portable and adjustable apparatus, for
driving and speeding the card cylinder, or card covered roller, during the operation
of grinding the cards thereon, and for driving and speeding the grinding roller
employed for grinding such cards.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same.
Fig. 1. is a side elevation of the improved apparatus.
Fig. 2. is an end elevation of the same.
The improved apparatus comprises a supporting rod 1. and clips 2. which are
attached to the framing 3 of the machine, the cards of which are to be ground-
The supports carry a short shaft 4 on one end is a bevel wheel 5, on the other end

page_text: are fast and loose pulleys 6. 7. and a grooved or band pulley 8, the bevel wheel 5
gears with and drives a like wheel 9 on a short shaft 10, the other end of which
carries a worm 11, gearing and driving a worm wheel 12. on the axis or shaft 13
of the card cylinder, by means of which the latter is driven at a slow speed-The
grooved or band pulley 8, by band 14, drives a like pulley on axis of the grinding
roller or grinding wheels so that the latter receives an accelerated motion-The
fast and loose pulleys 6. 7. above mentioned are in communication by strap 15
with the ordinary driving pulley on the main or driving shaft as ordinary. The
apparatus is supported by the cylinder shaft 13-foot of rod 1. which passes
through boss 1 and extends to the floor and by the clip 2. which is adjustable as
to height on rod 1 and reach therefrom.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improved apparatus herein described for purpose set forth and sub-
stantially as illustrated by annexed drawings.
