Improvements in Feeding Rollers of Carding Engines and
Hand Cleaner Plates of Carding Engines.
I, OWEN EASTWOOD 32 New Cross Street West Bowling, Bradford in the county
of York, Card Nailer, do hereby declare the naturo of this invention to be as follows:-
The newness of my invention consists in constructing the Feeding Rollers of a
metalic covering either of Brass, Cast iron, mallable iron, or steel pierced with steel
needles or pins set at right, obtuse or acute angle instead of the usual covering of
leather or cloth, and also consists in intersecting or placing the said pins projecting from
the surfaces of one another of the said feeding rollers down in the spaces betwixt the
said rows of pins of one another of these said feeding rollers respectively and are so
mado to rotate, these said metalic coverings are made in rings placed in numbers side
by side on arbors or axles, these said arbors are screwed and nutted at opposite ends
to secure together these said rings on their respective arbors. My improved hand
cleaner consists in having 2, 3, 4 or more rows of teeth or pins instead of one row
teeth in the usual way.

I, OWEN EASTWOOD, 32 New Cross Street, West Bowling Bradford in the county
of York Card Nailer 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 my invention in the Carding of Woollen, Wool, Silk, Flax, Cotton
or other textile materials is to ensure a more perfect and regular feed, and to
prevent the wools, silks, &c. from slipping or passing through the feeding rollers in
Jumps, or cots, and to secure a better lashing, straightening and drafting out of the
wool fibres &c. and this is obtained by intersecting or placing the rows of pins or
needles of each feeding roller down in the spaces betwixt the rows of pins of their
respective rollers one to another as shown in the accompanying drawings Figures 1, 2, 3,
4 and 5 marked C1. C. 2 and 08.
In order that my invention may be better understood I have hereunto appended
explanatory drawings in which No. 1. Sheet. Figure 1 represents a transverse sectional
olovation of feeding end of Carding Engine with feeding rollers and top stripper
roller C. 1. C. 2 and 03 and licker inn B.
No. 2 Sheet. Figure 2. represents a sectional end elevation of the two feeding rollers
and top stripper roller C. 1. C. 2 and C. 3.
Figures 3 and 4 represent longitudinal elevation and section of two feeding and top
stripper rollers.
Figure 5 represents and end clevation of two feeding rollers and top stripper roller.
Figure 6. represents a plan of hand cleaner plates.
Figure 7. represents an ond clevation of hand cleaner plates.
The outward coverings of these said feeding and stripper rollers are made of Brass,
Steel, wrought, cast or malleable iron rings (Brass preferable) in segments, numbers
and breadths to suit the required lengths of coverings for feeding or stripper rollers that
is to say in two, three, four or any number of rings placed side by side to make the
required length of rollers, and are drilled and pierced through with steel pins or needles
protuding from their external circumferences or surfaces and set at right, obtuse or
acute angles. These said Brass rings coverings are placed side by side touching each
other on longitudinal arbor with planed longitudinal groove and rings having lugs to
correspond and are firmly secured together by regulating nuts and screwed ends at
both and opposite ends of arbors, forming one continuous length of brass covering as
shown in figures 3 and 4 marked D 1. D2 and D 3.
These said rotary feeding roller arbors are supported at opposite ends in journals
and driven in the usual way by spur gearing. The further object of my invention is
obtained by making the hand cleaner plates of brass, steel, wrought, cast or malleable
iron drilled and pierced through with 2, 3, 4 or more rows of steel pins or needles

marked J.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invented,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is ; viz.:
First. The novelty of placing each row of pins or needles down in the spaces formed
betwixt the rows of pins in their respective rollers one to another as shown in the
accompanying explanatory drawings figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 marked C1, C2, and 03,
and D 1. D2 and D3. and is what is technically termed Intersecting and marked E.
Second. The making of the feeding roller coverings in segments or rings of Brass
or other metalic substance suitable, drilled and pierced through with steel pins or
needles set at right, obtuse or acute angles from the face of roller standing out
and are placed side by side on longitudinal arbor to suit the required length of covering
of rollers as shown in figuros 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 marked C1. C2. & C3 and D1. D 2. & D3
and secured together at opposite ends of arbors with screwed ends and nuts I.
figures 3, 4 and 5, marked 1.
Thirdly. The making of the hand cleaner plates in Brass, or other metalic substance
drilled and pierced through with steel pins or needles of 2, 3, or more rows of pins
standing out at right, obtuso or acute angles from the face as shown in figures 6 and 7
marked J.
