Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Crossley, of Bury, in the County of Lancaster,
for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN PAPER MAKERS COTTON DRYING
FELTS"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Crossley at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 9th October 1880.

PAPER MAKERS COTTON DRYING FELTS."
"IMPROVEMENTS IN
The object of this Invention is the manufacture of a cotton drying felt for covering
paper makers rollers, which shall be as even at the joint as at the other part of the
surface, and thus present no obstacle to the paper or pulp in passing over the same,
and consists in weaving the parts of which the joining is composed half the thick-
Dess of the other part on opposite sides of the fabric, so that when the two half
thicknesses are laid together one over the other, and the warp ends are stitched in
the ordinary manner, and upon both sides of the two half thicknesses so laid
together, a flush and even joining is obtained, the joined surfaces being exactly
equal in thickness to the other part of the felt.
It will thus be apparent that in accordance with this Invention a joining is
effected without tying the warp ends together, and which dispense with all knots
and other projections.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN
The object of this Invention is the manufacture of a cotton drying felt for covering
paper makers rollers, which shall be as even at the joint as at the other part of the
surface, and thus present no obstacle to the paper pulp in passing over the same,
and consists in weaving the parts of which the joining is composed half the thick-

It will thus be apparent that in accordance with this Invention a joining is
effected without tying the warp ends together, and which dispenses with all knots
and other projections.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, together with the best methods with which I am acquainted for carrying
the same into practical effect, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not
confine myself to the precise details herein before described, as the same may be
considerably varied without departing from the Invention, and that what I claim
as my Invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-
The improvements in cotton drying felts, substantially as hereinbefore described.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Crossley, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty one.
JAMES CROSSLEY. (L.S.)
