Improvements in Singeing Machines for Fabrics.
Year: 1899

page_text: JAMES HENRY DANIELS, Manager, 8; Assheton Road, Newton Heath, Manchester,
and JOHN BROWN, Engineer, Duke of York Hotel, Newton Heath, Manchester, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements to machines for singeing fabrics, and as for
object constructing such machines in a novel manner, by which they will singe
double the quantity of cloth in the same time and more evenly singed than by the
methods hitherto employed, with one revolving hot roller, one furnace & same
weight of coals.
The cloth is mounted on the revolving hot roller as follows:-
At each side of the machine frames we have three rods or rollers parallel with the
revolving hot roller, which are supported at each end by sliding rods at right angles
with the same, the ends of these sliding rods near the revolving hot roller are made
in a semicircular form nearly half round the revolving hot roller, only leaving
sufficient space for the two pieces of cloth to pass each other; two of the rods or
rollers are fitted one at each end of the semicircular formed slide rods and the other
one in the centre of same; the cloth is thread over the bottom rod or roller between
the rod or roller and the revolving hot roller, and then over the centre rod or roller
on the opposite side, then over the top rod or roller the same way as the bottom rod
or roller. These rods or rollers are set so as to make each piece of cloth touch the
revolving hot roller in two places at one time. The cloth is adjusted to the revolving
hot roller by moving the slide rods which are worked by ratchet wheels on a small
shaft with a lever at one end.

page_text: 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 relates to improvements to machines for singeing fabrics, and has
for object constructing such machines in a novel manner, by which they will singe
two pieces of cloth at the same time, and more evenly singed than by the methods
hitherto employed with one revolving hot roller, and each piece of cloth touching the
said revolving hot roller in two places at the same tiine.
The cloth is mounted on the revolving hot roller as follows:-
At each side of the machine frame we have three rods or rollers paralell parallel
with the revolving hot roller which are supported at each end by sliding rods at right
angles with the same;. the The ends of these sliding rods near the revolving hot
roller are made in a semicircular form nearly half round the revolving hot roller only
leaving sufficient space for the two pieces of cloth to pass each other, two Two of
the rods or rollers are fitted one at each end of the semicircular ends of the formed
sliding rods, and the other one in the centre of the same: the cloth is threaded over
the bottom rod or roller between the rod or roller and the revolving hot roller and
then over the centre rod or roller on the opposite side, and then over the top rod or
roller the same way as the bottom rod or roller,. these These rods or rollers are set so
as to make each piece of cloth touch the revolving hot roller in two places at one
time; the cloth is adjusted to the revolving hot roller by moving the sliding rods
which are worked by pinion wheels on a small shaft with a lever at one end.
As will be seen with reference to the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1,-a A is the
machine frame on which the sliding rod brackets are firmly secured, B is the
revolving hot roller, C C¹ are the rods or rollers which are fitted to the semicircular
ends of the sliding rods, D D¹ are the sliding rods, E, E¹ are the pinion wheels, F F¹
are the levers, G G¹ are slotted rods, H H¹ are thumbscrews for preventing the sliding
rods from moving when adjusted to the revolving hot roller, II are the
two cloths. The arrows indicate the direction in which these cloths pass through the
machine, and it will be seen that during this passage, each cloth moves in contact with
two arcs of the revolving hot roller. 1-I'-is the cloth-as will be-seen-by-the-arrows
which-way the-same-passes through the machine-so-as-to-mount-on-the-revolving
hot roller in two places-at-the-same time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we would have it understood
that we do not confine ourselves to the exact arrangements of the parts shown, as the
same may be varied or modified without departing from the principle of our invention,
but what we claim is A machine for simultaneously singeing two pieces of cloth on one
hot roller, so constructed arranged and operated that every point in each piece of cloth
is successively moved in contact with two arcs of the hot roller, substantially as herein-
before described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings. to-singe-two
pieces-of-eloth at the same time with one-revolving hot-roller-each-piece of cloth-to
touch-the-said-revolving-hot roller-in-two-places at-the same time.
