Improvements in Certain Hydraulic Presses for Pressing
Fabrics.
I, CHARLES HENRY WILD, of 88, Leeds Road, Bradford, in the County of
York, Dyer aud Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be nз
followe
-
This invention relates to improvements in that type of stoam heated hydraulic
press in which a series of steam heated plates are introduced between the press
table and the piess head, and its object is to facilitate beating and cooling the
press.
For this purpose I form an outlet at the top on close to the top of the discharge
pipe, that is to say the pipe into which the steam or water leaving the plates passes
into. By this means the air may be expelled from the steam and water passages
and I obtain a uniform circulation particularly of water whilst the press is being
cooled. The said outlet is fitted with a valve and is preferably kept more or less
open whilst in use. A pipe may be connected to the sand outlet and be carried
down so as to discharge into the press pit or below the press.

Improvements in Certain Hydraulic Presses for Pressing
Fabrics.
1, CHARLES HENRY WILD, of 88, Leeds Road, Bradford, in the County of
York, Dyer and Finisher, 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 improveinents in that type of steam heated bydraulic
press in which a series of steam heated plates are introduced between the press
table and the press head, and its object is to facilitate heating and cooling the
press
For this purpose 1 form an outlet at the top or close to the top of the discharge
pipe, that is to say the pipe into which the steam or water leaving the plates
passes into. By this means the air may be expelled from the steam and water
passages and I obtain a uniform circulation particularly of water whilst the press
is being cooled. The said outlet is fitted with a valve and is preferably kept more
o less open whilst in use. A pipe may be connected to the said outlet and be
curried down so as to discharge into the press pit or below the press.
In order that my improvement may be fully understood I have illustrated it in
the accompanying diawing which represents a back view of a pross with my
improvement applied to it.
The bed A, the head B, the pillars C, the feed pipe D, the discharge pipe E
aud the connections connecting the pipes to the press plates Gaia of any

page_text: ordinary construction and the bottom of the discharge pipe E is provided with a
steam trap of the usual type but may be otherwise closed.
In addition to this I provide an outlet pipe II connected to the top of the
discharge pipe. The pipe H preferably extends down and discharges below the
press close to the said steam trap. A valve J is provided in the pipe H.
In this arrangement considerable saving is effected in the quantity of steam and
water requied to heat and cool the press, particularly in the quantity of water and
at the same time the press is more rapidly cooled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inver-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
The improvement in hydraulic presses herein shown and described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
