PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Arrangement for Carrying Away the Dust caused by Stripping the
Cylinders and Doffers of Carding Engines for Cotton, Woollen, and
other Fibrous substances.
JACOB BRIDGE, Ironfounder, Machinist, Tinplate Worker and Coppersmith,
Paradise Works, Accrington, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
In the process of what is called "stripping" (that is cleaning the card fillet)
in carding engines a considerable amount of dust is thrown off causing the
machines to get covered with dirt and filling the atmosphere with this objection-
able matter, thereby necessitating increased ventilation and being a source of
much annoyance to the workpeople, besides being unhealthy. To entirely obviate
this dust flying about the room and also to carry the same away to a convenient
place 1 cover the stripping roller with a suitable casing and by means of an
exhaust fan or fans the dust is drawn from the stripping roller and delivered to
a dust chamber or any other suitable place. The fan or fans may be placed in
any convenient position and connected with the stripping roller or rollers and
casing or casings by means of a system of pipes or tubes of suitable size and
section, and these pipes or tubes may have openings or branches for each carding
engine. These branches will be fitted with detachable caps, plugs or covers so
that only the particular carding engine or engines which are being stripped need
be connected with the fan or fans and so that the full power of the exhaust will
be exerted only at the particular place or places where the dust or dirt is being
generated in the process of stripping.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
Arrangement for Carrying Away the Dust caused by "Stripping" the
Cylinders and Doffers of Carding Engines for Cotton, Woollen, and
other Fibrous substances.
JACOB BRIDGE, Ironfounder, Machinist, Tinplate Worker and Coppersmith,
Paradise Works, Accrington, 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:-
In the process of what is called "stripping" (that is cleaning the card fillet)

machines to get covered with dirt and filling the atmosphere with this objection-
able matter, thereby necessitating increased ventilation and being a source of
much annoyance to the workpeople, besides being unhealthy. To entirely obviate
this dust flying about the room and also to carry the same away to a convenient
place I' cover the stripping roller with a suitable casing and by means of an
exhaust fan or fans the dust is drawn from the stripping roller and delivered to
a dust chamber or any other, suitable place. The fan or fans may be placed in
any convenient position and connected with the stripping roller or rollers and
casing or casings by means of a system of pipes or tubes of suitable size and
section, and these pipes or tubes may have openings or branches for each carding
engine. These branches will be fitted with detachable caps, plugs or covers so
that only the particular carding engine or engines which are being stripped need
be connected with the fan or fans and so that the full power of the exhaust will
be exerted only at the particular place or places where the dust. or dirt is being
generated in the process of stripping

To render my invention clear I illustrate the same by accompanying drawings,
one of which shews an end view and the other a front view. Letters E and F
represent the doffer and cylinder respectively. D is the stripping, roller. B is
the vertical pipe connected with cover over stripping roller, and A shews
longitudinal pipe connected with fan and dust chamber. C is a damper to close
the pipe when not in use.
It will be seen from the drawings that a cover or hood H which may run the
length of the stripping roller D is made to fit over the same and suspended by the
pipe B so that such cover or hood can be swivelled from the cylinder to the doffer
or vice versa. The hood or cover H over stripping roller is so made by means of
hinges or joints which are indicated in the drawings that the stripping roller
can be readily taken away without the apparatus interfering with the stripping of
either doffer or cylinder....
The whole apparatus may be suspended- by any suitable means from either a
ceiling, beams, pillars, or anything. to which the same may be conveniently
attached.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
.
•
An exhausting apparatus as above described to carry away the dust and dirt
caused by stripping the cylinders and doffers of carding engines in cotton, woollen,
and similar mills and thereby preventing the dust & dirt flying about the room
in which the process of carding is carried on.
