Improvements in or relating to the Manufacturing of Card-cloth.
1 CARL HANSEN, of Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, Manufacturer do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The card-cloth used until now were manufactured by cementing together a
respectively great number of very thin cotton-sheets by means of a solution of
caoutchouc.
As this kind of manufacturing requires a great deal of time, it renders the
card-cloth very expensive without giving it a high resistance.
Now, my invention relates to manufacturing card-cloth in which, by arranging
only few but relatively thick sheets of cotton-webs, a great deal of cementing being
spared, the resistance consequently is very much increased and the price of which
is very much reduced.
The annexed drawing shows the great difference between the former kind of
construction of card-cloth, consisting in a great number of very thin sheets of
cotton-webs and my new card-cloth containing only few but thick sheets of the
same material cemented together.
In order to manufacture exceedingly thick card-cloth, one may increase either
the thickness itself of the aforesaid thick sheets or the number of the single thick
sheets as to apply either a single but very thick sheet or only a few (two, three
or more) thick sheets as described above.
The annexed drawings represent on the one side the hitherto used card-cloth
with pretty many and thin single cotton-sheets and on the other side the new card-
cloth with only few but thick cotton-sheets, the number of the sheets being added
by numerals at the sides of each figure and the dotted layer representing the felting
of the card-cloth.
Fig. 3 shows a new card-cloth consisting only of one thick cotton-sheet and
substituting the corresponding former card-cloth shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and
consisting in the cementing of three, respectively four distinct thin cotton-webs.
In the same manner, the new card-cloth being formed of two sheets, represented
by Fig. 7, substitutes the card-cloth of the ancient system shown by Figs. 4, 5
and 6, and being composed of five, six respectively of seven thin sheets of
cotton-canvass.
Fig. 8 shows a card-cloth of the former system, formed by cementing together
nine thin cotton-sheets, the corresponding new card-cloth containing only three
thick cotton-webs as it is represented by Fig. 9 in the same drawing.

I, CARL HANSEN, of Aix-la-Chapelle, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, Manufacturer
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 card-cloth used until now were manufactured by cementing together a

page_text: respectively great number of very thin cotton-sheets by means of a solution of
caoutchouc.
As this kind of manufacturing requires a great deal of time, it renders the
card-cloth very expensive without giving it a high resistance.
Now, my invention relates to manufacturing card-cloth in which, by arranging
only few but relatively thick sheets of cotton-webs, a great deal of cementing
being spared, the resistance. consequently is very much increased.and, the price of
which is very much reduced.
The drawings filed with the: Provisional Specification show the great difference
between the former kind of construction of card-cloth consisting in a great number
of very thin sheets of cotton-webs and my new card-cloth containing only few. but
thick sheets of the same material cemented together.
In order to manufacture exceedingly thick card-cloth, I may increase either the
thickness itself of the aforesaid thick sheets or the number of the single thick sheets
as to apply either a single but very thick sheet or only a few (two, three or more)
thick sheets as described above.
The drawings represent on the one side the hitherto used card-cloth with pretty
many and thin single cotton-sheets and on the other side the new card-cloth with.
only few but thick cotton-sheets, the number of the sheets being indicated. by
numerals at the sides of each figure and the dotted layer representing a layer of felt
generally cemented on card-cloth..
Fig. 3 shows a new card-cloth consisting only of one thick cotton-sheet and,
substituting the corresponding former card-cloth shown in. Figs. 1 and 2 and
consisting in the cementing of three, respectively four distinct thin cotton-webs..
In the same manner, the new card-cloth being formed of two sheets, represented.
by Fig. 7, substitutes the card. cloth-cloth of the ancient system, shown. by
Figs. 4, 5 and 6, and being composed of five, six respectively of seven thin sheets
of cotton canvass.
Fig. 8 shows a card-cloth of the former system formed by cementing together
nine thin cotton-sheets, the corresponding new card-cloth containing only three thick
cotton-webs as it is represented by Fig. 9 in the same drawing.
Instead of replacing the former card-cloth composed of five, six, seven single
sheets and so forth, as shown by Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 8, by the new card-cloth.with
only two respectively three thick sheets (Figs. 7 and 9) I may, arrange in such new
card-cloth also one sole thick sheet but in this case it is clear that the thickness of
the said thick sheet must be corresponding, to the thickness of the former thin
sheets together it will replace.
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 :-
Card-cloth composed of only one or a few single sheets of relatively thick cotton
webs replacing the hitherto used great number of very thin cotton sheets, all
substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
