Improvements in the Machinery for the Manufacture of Felt and
for Imprinting Names or Devices thereon.
I NICOLAUS INGRUND, of No. 11 Jarvis Street, Old Kent Road, S.E. Felt Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: -
This Invention relates to improvements in machinery for the manufacture of felt
and for imprinting names or devices thereon and has for its object to construct a
machine that shall be of simple construction, easy of operation and effective in its
result.
In order to more fully describe the nature and particulars of the said invention, I
have annexed hereto a sheet of drawings wherein Fig. 1 is a front view of the machine
and Fig. 2 an end view.
A box or receptacle A of any desired shape and size is provided, in which is fixed
a perforated ribbed plate B for purpose hereinafter to be described. Underneath this
receptacle A is a steam jacket C or if desired this steam jacket may surround the
whole apparatus and said jacket is provided with a drain pipe a." Between the
receptacle A and steam jacket C is a chamber A'. Attached to a piston rod D is
another perforated ribbed plate E said piston rod is actuated in any convenient
manner.
A steam pipe F supplies steam into jacket C and a branch F¹ with tap F' for supply
of steam into chamber A¹.
The action is as follows:-
The material is fed into or placed in the receptacle a. Steam is supplied through
pipe F into jacket C in order to heat the apparatus Tap F is then turned on and steam
passes through pipe F¹ into chamber A and through perforated holes in bottom

page_text: plate B. The piston rod D and top plate E are then actuated in any convenient
manner and the plate E. acts on the material in receptacle A and compresses it against
the lower plate B thus forming the felt.
This arrangement of apparatus may be multiplied as desired or convenient.
The plate may be made with the ribs in the form of a design or name and the up
and down motion of the top plate will cause the device or name to be impressed on
the material.
This apparatus may be constructed to make any class of goods required, whether
made from hair or other similar products such as cotton, fine strips of linen silk and
so forth.

I NICOLAUS INGRUND, of 11 Jarvis Street, Old Kent Road, S.E. Felt Maker 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 :-
This Invention relates to improvements in machinery for the manufacture of felt
and for imprinting names or devices thereon and has for its object to construct a
machine that shall be of simple construction, easy of operation and effective in its
result.
In order to more fully describe the nature and particulars of the said invention,
reference is made to the sheet of drawings filed with my Provisional specification,
wherein Fig. 1 is a front view of the machine, and Fig. 2 an end view.
A box or receptacle of any desired shape and size is provided, in which is fixed a
perforated ribbed plate B for purpose hereinafter to be described.
Underneath this receptacle A is a steam jacket C or if desired this steam jacket
may surround the whole apparatus and said jacket is provided with a drain pipe a.
Between the receptacle A and steam jacket is a chamber A'. Attached to a piston
rod D is another perforated ribbed plate E. Said piston rod is actuated in any
convenient manner.
A steam pipe F supplies steam into jacket Cand a branch F³ with tap F' for supply
of steam into chamber A
The action is as follows:-
The material is fed into or placed in the receptacle A steam is supplied through
pipe F into jacket C in order to heat the apparatus ; Tap F' is then turned on and
steam passes through pipe F¹ into chamber A¹ and through perforated holes in bottom
plate B. The piston rod D and top plate E, are then actuated in any convenient
manner and the plate E acts on the material in receptacle A and compresses it against
the lower plate B thus forming the felt.
This arrangement of apparatus may be multiplied as desired or convenient.
The plate may be made with the ribs in the form of a design or name and the up
and down motion of the top plate will cause the device or name to be impressed on
the material.
This apparatus may be constructed to make any class of goods required, whether
made from hair or other similar products.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
:-
Firstly The means of and apparatus for making felt as herein set forth and
shown by the drawing.
Secondly The means of and apparatus for making felt in combination with the
arrangement for imprinting a device or name therein as herein set forth.
:
Thirdly The means of and apparatus for impressing or imprinting a device or
name on the product as herein set forth.
