We FREDRICK WILLIAM HUDSON and FREDRICK WILLIAM SCHROEDER of Shannon
Street Mills Leeds Yorkshire Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SCOURING WASHING CHROMING & DYEING WOVEN
OR FELLTED FIBRE FIBRE IN AN OPEN OR EXTEND STATE to be as follows:-
We place over a large trough or vat a pair of squeesing rollers, imediate
under same we fix a small trough so as to be above the liquied in the large trough
or vat in front of the squeesing rollers. We have a guide roller parrallel with with
squeesing rollers; betwen the squeesing rollers & guide roller we fix a pipe also
parrallel with the guide roller in the side of pipe we bore a series of hole to allow
a liquied or dye matter to pass out in a spray like form, I conect the pipe with a
pan or cistern to boil dye matter or liquied and a suitable distance above the pipe
and between the pan or cistern and pipe is a tap so as to regulate the supply or
shut same of alltogether.
We
The opporation is as follow. We fill the large trough or vat with liquied up to
the hight required then put in the woven or fellted fibre and pass same over a
back guide roller and through the squeesing rollers underneath the pipe and over
the guide roller in front then conect the ends of the woven or fellted fibre.
then wash same through by letting it pass through the squeesing rollers some time.
We then let the dye matter drop in a spray like form on the woven or fellted
fibre from the pipe during time same is in motion as soon as we have suficient dye
matter on same we turn the tap off that is between the pipe and the pan or cistern
that contains the dye matter We then let the woven or fellted fibre pass through
the liquied matter in the large trough untill we have got the shade or colour
required then we let the dye matter run out of large trough by opening a valve
the dye matter that is squeesed out of the rollers drops in the small trough &
passes out of same by a plug bein in small troug so arranged that the liquied
does not pass in the large trough & thereby emptying the troughs in a verry
short time.
Then we fill the large trough with water or other liquied required & wash
same woven or fellted fibre trough untill same is finished to satisfaction.
We thereby do the work of washing scouring chroming & dyeing on one machine
without removing the woven or fellted fibre untill whole of the opporation have
being done.

We FREDRICK WILLIAM HUDSON and FREDRICK WILLIAM SCHROEDER of Shannon
Street Mill Leeds Yorshire Manufactures do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SCOURING WASHING CHROMING AND DYEING.
WOVEN OR FELTED FIBRE and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
We place over a large trough or vat a pair of squeesing rollers under same we
fix a small trough so as to be above the liquid in the large trough, at the front and
back of squeesing rollers we have guide rollers running parallel with same, a little
below the back guide roller and in side the large trough we place a pipe the whole
lenght of large trough and parallel with the guide roller, in the side of pipe and
downward we bore a series of small holes, a suitable distant apart, to allow the
liquid or dye matter to pass out in a spray like form Connected with this pipe
we have a cistern placed in a suitable position above, to prepare the liquid or dye
matter, and a cock between the cistern and where the pipe enters the large trough
for to regulate the suply of liquid or dye matter or shut same off as required.
There are valves in large and small trough connected with levers in suitable
places to let the water or liquid out at will seperatly or jointly, also pipes to fill
large trough with water and cock to regulate same.
In working of same we place the woven or felted fabric in large trough by
passing it over the front guide roller then pass same under small trough over back
guide roller through the squeesing rollers and over front guide roller then we fasten
the ends together, the large trough is then filled with water, during the filling, the
machine is in motion and is worked untill the woven or felted fabric is thorougly
washed through, after then the water is let off, and refilled with clean water, during
this oporation the matter is prepared in cistern above machine for chroming or
any kind of mordanting, after the large trough is filled a suitable hight with water
we let the chrome or any kind of mordant in a spray like form into large trough
through the pipe that runs parallel with the guide rollers after boiling a suficient
time in large trough the water or liquid is then let out of large trough and again
filled with water and washed and the large trough again emptied and filled with
clean water then the dye matter that is being prepared in the cistern above the
machine is passed into large trough through the pipe that runs parallel with guide
rollers in a spray like form and boiled untill we have got the shade or colour
required then the dye matter or liquid is let out of the large trough and again
filled with water and the fabric is washed, During the whole of those oporations
the machine is in motion, the small trough is used for quicker emptien the large
trough as the woven or felted fabric by passing through the squeesing rollers
squeeses the liquid into the small trough and same passes out seperatly from outlet
of large trough.

page_text: The above described machine can be used for scouring by having the woven or
felted fabric in same position as for dyeing only the large trough contains a liquid
for the purpose of scouring.
In order that our Invention may be more completely understood we annex and
proceed to describe the accompanying sheets of Drawings.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the natur of our Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare what we claim is,
Squeesing rollers C-C over large dye trough or vat small trough B underneath
same for quicker emptien of large dye trough or vat, pipe F with a series of
small holes, to allow the liquid or dye matter to pass out in a spray like form,
cistern H to prepare the dye matter and the connection of saine with pipe F so
that the series of oporation can take place without stoping the machine untill
complete.
