PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Crimping Textile Material and in Apparatus
therefor.
We CHARLES LEETHEM REYNOLDS, and HERBERT WAIDE REYNOLDS, both of
Sultan Factory, Landport, Hampshire, Corset Manufacturers, do hereby declare the .
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention the material to be crimped is first pasted to another
material, preferably paper, and the two crimped together while the paste is damp, the
warmth of the crimping rollers sufficiently dries the paste to set the crimping firm,
it is then further secured by a strip or strips of material stitched upon it or the
edges turned over and stitched.
The apparatus to effect the above is as follows
The two crimping rollers may be geared together and engage with each other in
the usual way, and are made hollow to be warmed by steam or other usual means.
The crimping teeth of one of the rollers is made round on top and set rather close
together and the teeth of the other roller is made much thinner and set wider apart
than those of the other roller. Arranged before the rollers is the pasting apparatus
this is of a. usual character the paste being lifted from the paste trough by circular
brushes and deposited upon one side of either the textile material or the paper. The
textile material may pass over the paste box, and the paper under it the two being
brought together when passing between the rollers.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Crimping Textile Material and in Apparatus
therefor.
We CHARLES LEETHEM REYNOLDS, and HERBERT WAIDE REYNOLDS, both of
Sultan Factory, Landport, Hampshire, Corset Manufacturers, 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 :-
According to this invention the material to be crimped is first pasted to another
material preferably paper, and the two crimped together while the paste is damp, the
warmth of the crimping rollers sufficiently dries the paste to set the crimping, it is
then further secured by a strip or strips of material stitched upon it, or the edges
turned over and stitched.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will proceed to explain the same
with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 end view.
Figure 2 partial plan.
Figure 3 partial plan of crimping rollers.
Figure 4 partial enlarged view of crimping roller.
A is the frame, B the top roller, C the lower one, these rollers are held in frame
by guides D, on each end of frame which bear against the outside of collars E on
each end of rollers. Both rollers are geared together by gear wheels F, so as to turn at
the same surface speed, and to prevent any engagement between the teeth. These
rollers are driven by belt on a pulley G, attached to outside of bottom roller C.
The top roller has the necessary pressure imparted to it by a weighted lever H,
bearing upon a stem I carrying a roller J at bottom entering in recess K. The
'

page_text: form of the teeth of the rollers is as shown at figure 4, that is the teeth of the top
roller are open and round at the bottom and flat on top, and those of the bottom
roller round on the top and flat at, the bottom..
The pasting apparatus consists of a trough L, suitably held, with a round paste
brush M, which is fed with paste by roller N, under the paste brush is a guide
roller O, for the paper P to pass over to enable it to be pasted on the top Q is a coil
of cloth, and P, a coil of paper carried upon suitable supports, the two materials
being unwound as drawn through the rollers. To prevent an excess of paste being
deposited upon the paper, the trough L, is fitted with a scraper R.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is-
1. Pasting paper to suitable textile material, and passing the two materials through
crimping rollers while the paste is damp.
2. The form of teeth for crimping rollers as shown at figure 4.
3. Gearing the two crimping rollers together so that the teeth of the rollers do not
engage each other when the rollers are driven.
