We ROBERT BRUCE GOLDSWORTHY, of Ellesmere Street, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Emery Manufacturer, and ROBERT WILD, of 3 Carlisle Street, Little-
borough, in the same County, Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
said Invention for AN IMPROVED METHOD OF AND MEANS FOR CLEANING, CARDING,
COMBING OR OTHERWISE TREATING TEXTILE FIBRES OR FIBROUS MATERIALS, to be as
follows:-
Our invention consists chiefly in the use and application of emery or other suitable
abrasive substance, such as magnetic iron ore or slag as a substitute for card fillet, card
clothing or other like carding agent now ordinarily employed in the processes of
cleaning, carding, combing, or otherwise treating textile fibres or fibrous materials.
In applying our Invention to a carding engine we dispense with the ordinary carding
agent on the main cylinder and employ therefor emery or other suitable abrasive
substance which may be either in the granular form or in the form of cloth or other-
wise and may be secured to the cylinder by cement or in any other convenient manner.
The emery, emery cloth, or other like abrasive material may be similarly applied to the
stripping rollers, flats, and the doffer cylinder of the carding engine; or the main
cylinder covered with our improved carding agent as above described may be employed
in conjunction with stripping rollers, flats, and doffer cylinder of the ordinary
construction.
We prefer to make and clothe the licker-in cylinder in the usual manner.
Our invention may be applied to all processes for treating textile fibres or fibrous
materials in which such a carding or abrasive surface as that above described is
necessary or advantageous such as in Opening, Cleaning, Carding, Combing, and
Separating Machinery.

We ROBERT BRUCE GOLDSWORTHY of Ellesmero Street, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Emery Manufacturer, and ROBERT WILD, of 3 Carlisle Street, Little-
borough, in the same County, Mechanical Engineer 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 :-
Our invention consists chiefly in the use and application of emery or other suitable
abrasive substance, such as magnetic iron ore or slag, or glass, as a substitute for card
fillet, card clothing, or other like carding agent now ordinarily employed in the
processes of cleaning, carding, combing, or otherwise treating textile fibres or fibrous
inaterials.
In applying our Invention to a Carding engine, we dispense with the ordinary
carding agent (as is generally known as Cards) on the main cylinder and employ
therefor emery or other suitable abrasive substance, which may be either in the granular
form or in the form of cloth or otherwise, and may be secured to the cylinder or rollers
by cement, by preference on ordinary fillet as now used, or in any other convenient
manner.
The emery, emery cloth or glass cloth, or other like abrasive material, may be
similarly applied to the stripping and clearer rollers, flats, and the doffer cylinder of
the carding engine or the main cylinder covered with our improved carding agent
as above described, may he employed in conjunction with stripping and clearer rollers,
flats, and doffer cylinder of the ordinary construction.
We prefer to make and clothe the licker-in cylinder or roller in the usual manner.
Our invention may be applied to all processes for treating textile fibres or fibrous
materials in which such a carding or abrasive surface as that above described is
necessary or advantageous, such as in opening, cleaning, carding, combing, and
separating machinery."
By the use and employment of our invention there would be less fly and waste made,
which is a serious loss to the manufacturers at the present time, besides the saving in
time of having to have the Engines stopped for grinding and stripping purposes.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
Invention, together with the best methods with which we are acquainted for carrying
the same into practical effect; We wish it to be distinctly understood that we do not
confine ourselves to the precise arrangements herein before described, as the same may
be considerably varied without departing from the Invention, but what we do
claim is :-
1 The use application and emulaxment of Emory or other such lika almacino

page_text: substances affixed on and to Cylinders, rollers, flats, or doffer cylinders, by means of
cement or other such like adhesive materials, or any mere modification of same,
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.-
2. The use, application and employment of fillet or filleting having Emery or other
such like abrasive substances affixed thereon or thereto, by any suitable cement
or any other such like adhesive materials, or any mere modification of same, substan-
tially as and for the purposes herein before described.
3. The use, application and employment of Emery or other such like abrasive
substances in conjuction with ordinary cards, card clothing, or other such like carding
agent, in use at the present time, or any mere modification of same, substantially as
and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
4. The use, application and employment of Emery or other such like abrasive
substances to and in opening, cleaning, carding, combing and separating machinery or
any mere modification of same, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.
