Improvements in Scribblers or Carding Engines for Carding Wool
and other Fibres.
We, SERVAIS LEBE of Market Street, Cleckheaton, in the County of York,
Card Maker, and JONAS HALEY of Pyenot Hall Works, Cleckheaton aforesaid,
Card Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in scribblers or carding engines employed
in carding wool and other fibres, the object being to obtain a greater working
surface on each cylinder whereby a greater amount of work is done, and a better
and stronger yarn produced with less waste than heretofore.
According to this invention, we employ in connection with each cylinder, a
taking in roller and clearer as ordinary, and above such clearer is a chain of card
covered flats, or an endless sheet of cards driven by any of the ordinary and well
known means.
After the chain of flats or endless sheet, we employ a stripper to
remove the fibre from the flats or sheets, and a small roller to lay such fibre on the
cylinder. One, two, or more card covered regulating rollers are employed after
the stripper, such regulating rollers being for the purpose of laying the fibre
evenly on the cylinder. The ordinary fancy roller, stripper, and doffer are employed
with each cylinder.
The improvements may be applied to one cylinder, or to a series of cylinders
forming a scribbler.
By the use of the improvements as herein set forth, a greater working surface is
obtained on each cylinder, and fewer rollers are employed.
Dated this 23rd day of November 1893.

Improvements in Scribblers or Carding Engines for Carding Wool
and other Fibres.
We SERVAIS LEBE of Market Street, Cleckheaton, in the County of York
Card Maker and JONAS HALEY of Pyenot Hall Works, Cleckheaton, aforesaid,
Card Maker, do 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 to improvements in scribblers or carding engines employed
in carding wool and other fibres, the object being to obtain a greater working
surface on each cylinder whereby a greater amount of work is done, and a better
and stronger yarn produced with less waste than heretofore, and this is achieved
by the use of a chain of card covered flats or an endless sheet of cards in
combination with the main cylinder and a series of regulating card covered rollers,
strippers, clearers, and taking in roller.

page_text: Such being the nature and object of our said invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings
in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of part of a carding engine having our improvements
applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a detail of Fig. 1 drawn to an enlarged scale.
According to this invention we employ in connection with each cylinder 1 taking
in roller 2 and clearer 3, a chain of card covered flats 4 or an endless sheet of
cards driven by any of the ordinary and well known means. After the chain of
flats 4 or endless sheet, we employ a stripper 5 to remove the fibre from the flats
or sheet 4 and a small roller or receiver 6 which takes the fibre from the stripper 5
and lays such fibre on the cylinder 1. One, two or more card covered regulating
rollers 7. 7 are employed after the stripper 5 such regulating rollers 7 being for
the purpose of laying the fibre evenly on the cylinder 1. The ordinary fancy.
roller 8 stripper 9 and doffer 10 are employed with each cylinder 1.
The improvements may be applied to one cylinder, or to a series of cylinders
forming a scribbler.
For scribbling the use of the regulating rollers 7 is not indispensible but we
prefer to use such as regularity in the quantity of the fibre is advantageous
though the nicety required in the carding engine is not indispensible in the
scribbler.
By the use of the improvements as herein set forth, a greater working surface
is obtained on each cylinder and fewer rollers are employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.
1. The improvements in scribblers and carding engines wherein is combined the
cylinder, and card flats, receiver, and regulating card clothed roller, as described
and illustrated by annexed drawings.
2. In scribbling carding engines the cylinders, the flats, and the receiver, all in
combination as and for purpose herein set forth and illustrated.
