IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR CARDING AND SCRIBBLING WOOL, COTTON, SILK, AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES
Year: 1877

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Thowlis, of Denby Dale, near Huddersfield, in
the County of York, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY
FOR CARDING AND SCRIBBLING WOOL, COTTON, SILK, AND OTHER FIBROUS
SUBSTANCES."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Thewlis at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 13th February 1877.
JAMES THEWLIS, of Denby Dale, near Huddersfield, in the County of York.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR CARDING AND SCRIBLING WOOL, COTTON, SILK,
AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES."
This Invention consists in the employment of an additional roller or cylinder
placed under the angle stripper between swift and doffer; also in placing an
additional roller or cylinder between the "breast" and "licker in." This roller
may be either revolving or stationary and covered with fileting, the object being to
straighten out the fibres on the stripper ready for the swift, and also to prevent the
escape of dust and loose fibres.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said James Thewlis in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 13th August
⚫ 1877.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR CARDING AND SCRIBBLING WOOL, COTTON,

This Invention consists in the employment of an additional roller or cylinder
placed under the angle stripper between swift and doffer; also in placing an
additional roller or cylinder between the breast and "licker in." This roller may
be either revolving or stationary and covered with filleting, the object being to

escape of dust and loose fibres.
In order that this Invention may be more fully understood I have given reference
to the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, wherein is shewn the application of my
additional roller or stripper to a condenser carding engine.
A is the additional roller placed in contact with the angle stripper and swift,
and B is a similar roller placed above the "licker in," and in contact with the
"breast" and one of the ordinary, strippers. By means of this Invention the fibre
on the angle stripper is opened and straightened and prevented from falling off, the
current of air caused by the swift and doffer is prevented from accumulating
under the angle stripper as is now the case, and the scattering of the [loose fibre
thereby upon the machine and floor of the room is obviated, and a saving of material
is consequently effected, besides improving the "end threads" of a condenser carding
machine.
Having thus described the nature of. this my Invention, and shewn by Drawings
how the same is to be carried into, effect, I would have it understood that what I
consider to-be new, and therefore claim as my Invention is, the use and employment
of the rollers A and B placed in the positions and for the purposes substantially as
herein shewn and described:
In witness whereof; I, the said James Thewlis, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Ninth day of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven.
