I, CHARLES EDWARD CROWTHER of 116 Swinnow Road, Pudsey, in the
County of York, Card Cleaner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in scribblers or carding engines for
carding and cleaning fibrous materials, and the object is to so arrange, and combine
with the fancy roller, a series of additional rollers in such a manner that the fly is
caught after leaving the ordinary fly roller and fancy, so that the latter can work
with better results on the main cylinder, thus effecting a great saving of fibrous
material, as well as a better quality of yarn from the produce.
According to this invention, I employ a fancy roller in combination with the
main swift or cylinder, and below and between such fancy and the main swift, is
the ordinary fly roller. A card covered or "Garnett carrier roller is placed
below the fancy roller, and is of such size, and in such a position, that it is in
contact with both the main cylinder or swift, and also the fancy roller, but is clear
of the fly roller. A cleaning roller placed above and in contact with the last
mentioned carrier roller keeps it clean. Angle rollers or plain rollers may be
employed to roll or press the fibre onto the teeth of the rollers.
The fancy operates in the ordinary manner, and the fly roller removes part of
the fibre from the fancy, and replaces it on the main cylinder, and it also raises the
fibre from the fancy: such fibre is then caught by the carrier roller, and placed on
the swift or cylinder. By this arrangement and combination a great saving of
labour is effected.

I, CHARLES EDWARD CROWTHER, of 116 Swinnow Road, Pudsey, in the
County of York, Card Cleaner, 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 for
carding and cleaning fibrous materials, and the object is to so arrange and combine
with the fancy roller, a series of additional rollers in such a manner that the fly is
caught after leaving the ordinary fly roller and fancy so that the latter can work
with better results on the main cylinder, thus effecting a great saving of fibrous
material as well as a better quality of yaru from the produce.

page_text: Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of so much of a scribbler or carding engine as is
required to illustrate this invention.
According to this invention I employ a fancy roller in combination with the
main swift or cylinder 2, and below and between such fancy 1 and the main swift 2
is the ordinary fly roller 3. A card-covered or "Garnett" carrier roller 4 is
placed below the fancy roller 1 and is of such size, and in such a position that it is
in contact with both the main cylinder or swift 2 and also the fancy roller 1, but
is clear of the fly roller 3. A cleaning roller 5 placed above and in contact with
the last mentioned carrier roller 4 keeps it clean. Angle rollers or plain rollers
may be employed to roll or press the fibre onto the teeth of the rollers.
The fancy roller 1 operates in the ordinary manner and the fly roller 3 removes
part of the fibre from the fancy 1 and replaces it on the main cylinder 2, and it
also raises the fibre from the fancy 1: such fibre is then caught by the carrier
roller 4 and placed on the swift or cylinder 2. The roller 4 may be covered with
fine "Garnett" teeth, or with ordinary card clothing, and in practice we generally
find the latter preferable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In scribblers or carding engines the arrangement and combination of the rollers
as and for the purpose herein described, and substantially as illustrated by the
annexed drawing.
