TENDAVEMENTS IN COMBING MACHINES
Year: 1875

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Samuel Bairstow Walmsley, of Bradford, in
the County of York, Machine Maker, for the Invention of
“ TENDAVEMENTS IN COMBING MACHINES
"
Scaled the 18th January 1876, and dated the 24th July 1875
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Samuel Bairstow
Walmsley at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his
Petition, on the 24th July 1875.
I, SAMUEL BAIRSTOW WALMSLEY, of Bradford, in the County of
York, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBING MACHINES," to be as follows:-
-
This Invention relates to the class of combing machine technically
known as “Noble's," and the object is to dispense with the drawing off
rollers now used for drawing off the noil from the small circular combs.
Much trouble is experienced with these rollers by reason of the noil
adhering to and lapping thereon, to remove which the machine has to
be stopped. Now instead of employing these rollers I form the kniveṣ

page_text: which are used to plough the noil out of the teeth of the said circular
combs of different inclines, so that the upper edges of the series of
knives form a lateral incline towards the spout, which has the effect of
turning the noil off into the said spout (in a similar manner to what the
mould plate of an agricultural plough turns the soil or clod)
By this Invention not only is the trouble in the use of rollers avoided
but the first cost of the rollers is saved, besides the expense of diving
them and repairing the wear and tear thereof, also the noil is left in a
better state than heretoforc.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley in the Great Scal
Patent Office on the 24th January 1876.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, SAMUEL
BAIRSTOW WALMSLEY, of Bradford, in the County of York, Machine
Maker, send greeting
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-fourth day of July, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, in the
thirty-ninth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and suc-
cessors, give and giant unto me, the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley,
Her special licence that I, the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said
Samuel Bairstow Walmsley, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and
at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ircland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man,
an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBING MACHINES," upon the con-
dition (amongst others) that I, the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley,
my exccutors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
my, or their, or one of then hands and scals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same
to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar

page_text: months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tanned in and by the following statement
-
This Invention relates to the class of combing machine technically
known as "Noble's," and the object is to dispense with the drawing-off
rollers now used for drawing off the oil from the small circular combs.
Much trouble is experienced with these rollers by reason of the noil
adhering to and lapping thereon, to remove which the machine has to
be stopped. Now instead of employing theso rollers I form the knives
which are used to plough the noil out of the teeth of the said circular
combs of different inclines, so that the upper edges of the series of
knives form a lateral incline towards the spout, which has the effect of
turning the noil off into the said spout (in a similar manner to what the
mould plate of an agricultural plough turns the soil or clod).
By this Invention not only is the trouble in the use of rollers avoided,
but the first cost of the rollers is saved, besides the expense of driving
them and repairing the wear and tear thereof, also the noil is left in a
better state than heretoforc.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Bairstow Walmsley, have
hercunto set my hand and scal, this Twentieth day of January,
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
seventy-six.
