Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Distributing Oil
or other Liquids upon Wool and other Fibres whilst being Fed
to Drawing Frames, Combing and other Machines.
We PRIESTLEY BAIRSTOW of Hanson Lane, Halifax, Tinner, and JONATHAN BAIRSTOW
of Ovenden near Halifax Clogger, both in the county of York, do hereby declare
the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to evenly and economically distribute oil, soap-suds,
water, or other liquids upon wool and other fibres whilst they are being fed to the
drawing frames or combing machinery, or to other machinery.
We employ an oil trough which is kept supplied with oil in any suitable manner,
in the trough is a cranked tube or series of tubes revolving and taking up the oil and
passing it along a second stationary tube above or near the wool or other fibrés passing
to the machine to be operated upon, the stationary tube is perforated at the required
point and a circular or other revolving brush comes in contact with it, and takes off
the oil and throws it in a fine spray or mist upon the fibres as it is being fed to the
machines; the amount of oil can be regulated by driving the feed tubes in the oil
cistern faster or slower, or employing more or less tubes.

We PRIESTLEY BAIRSTOW, Hanson Lane Halifax, Tinner, and JONATHAN BAIRSTOW
of Ovenden near Halifax Clogger both in the county of York, 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 :-
The object of our invention is to evenly and economically distribute oil, soap suds,
water or other liquids upon wool and other fibres whilst they are being fed to the
drawing frames, or combing machinery, or to other machinery.
We employ an oil trough which is kept supplied with oil in any suitable manner,
in the trough is a cranked tube or series of tubes, revolving and taking up the oil and
passing it along a second stationary tube above or near the wool or other fibres passing
to the machine to be operated upon, the stationary tube is perforated at the required
point, and a circular or other revolving brush comes in contact with, and takes off the
oil and throws it in a fine spray or mist upon the fibres as they are being fed to the
machines the amount of oil can be regulated by driving the feed tubes in the oil
cistern faster or slower, or employing more or less tubes, or by a tap.
Fig. 1. is a plan of my apparatus showing two brushes.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of Fig. 1 showing only one brush.
Fig. 3 is a section of trough.
We employ an oil trough A which is kept supplied with oil or other required liquid
from the supply cup B, or in any suitable manner.
In the trough is a cranked tube or series of tubes C connected to the hollow tube D;
this cranked tube revolves and takes up the oil and passes it along a second stationary
tube E, above or near the slivers of wool or other fibres passing to the machine to be
operated upon the stationary tube is perforated at the required point or points F,
where it delivers the oil to a plate or plates H, and a circular or other revolving
brush N, comes in contact with and takes off the oil from the plate or plates H, and
throws it in a fine spray or mist upon the slivers or fibres, as it is being fed to the
machines; the amount of oil can be regulated by driving the feed tubes in the oil
cistern faster or slower or by employing more or less tubes, or by taps such as J, or
the brush or brushes may take it direct from the tube. The brush or brushes are
mounted on a suitable shaft K, the speed of which can be regulated.
The distance between the brush shaft and the supply tube is regulated by adjustable
slotted brackets L. M., the brush shaft is driven by a strap from the driving shaft of the
machine, and the revolving tube may be driven by bands and pulleys, or by gearing
from the brush shaft.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. In distributing oil or other liquids on to wool or other fibres, the combination of
the oil trough, crank, tubes, and brush as and for the purposes shown and described.
2. For distributing oil and other liquids the use and employment of a revolving
brush or brushes as shown and described.
