Improvements Connected with the Carbonizing of Woollen, Silk,
and other Rags and Fibrous Materials.
GEORGE TOLSON Carbonizer and Engineer Prospect House Wakefield Road
Dewsbury do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention as for its object the preparing of Wool Silk Woollens mixed with
Vegetable Material and similar fibres for Carbonizing. It is well known in the trade
that Material for Carbonizing should be warm and dry to prevent the Vapour used in
Carbonizing from condensing during the process. To obtain this object I propose to
amalgamate this invention with the present Carbonizing Machines known has the
revolving or ocilating box cylinder or tank or fixed box cylinder or tank having
revolving or ocilating partitions or agitators. I propose to furnish the machine with
door or doors to open during the process of preparation the opening to have wire
work or some other arrangement to prevent the material from coming out. I then
propose to erect a gas or coke stove or use the heating apparatus used in carbonizing
and convay the heat ingendered through suitable openings into the machine by a fan
or some such like apparatus. It will be seen that by convaying warm air through the
material the doors before mentioned will allow the moist to escape. When the
material is warm and dry the doors requires closing and the hot air stopped by means
of a valve or damper for that purpose. The advantage of this invention is that the
machine can be used for both preparing and Carbonizing and thus save time and
laibour.

and other Rags and Fibrous Materials.
I, GEORGE TOLSON, of Prospect House, Wakefield Road, Dewsbury, in the County
of York, 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 :-
The object of this invention is the preparation of wool, silk, woollen, or other like
material, mixed with vegetable materials, previous to such materials undergoing the
operation of carbonizing. It is well known by those conversant with the trade that
the materials to be carbonized should previously be made warm and dry so as to prevent
the vapour which would arise therefrom condensing during the process of carbonizing.
To accomplish this object I propose to use the machine previously patented by me,
No. 6254, known as the revolving or oscillating carbonizing machine, having fixed
cylinders or tanks provided with revolving or oscillating agitators. This machine I
now furnish with one or more doors, which are to be opened during the preparatory
drying process, the said openings being covered with wire netting or other like
arrangement to prevent the material from falling out of the machine as the cylinder
revolves. A fan is employed in connection with any heating apparatus, which blows
the hot air through the hollow shaft or trunnion of the machine, through the fibres
and through the perforated netting. By this means, after the mixed fibres have been
made warm and dry by the introduction of hot air, it can be shut off by means of
dampers, and afterwards the carbonzing gases can be introduced, whereby the double
process of warming, drying, and carbonizing can be performed in the same machine,
which is a great advantage, and effects a considerable saving of time and labour.
In order that my said invention may be better understood, I will now make reference
to the accompanying sheets of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein Fig. 1 is sectional
elevation of my improved machine. A represents the revolving or oscillating cage
made with a door B covered with wire netting or perforated metal C. The series of
forks D projects from the inside of the revolving cage for the purpose of agitating
the mixed fabrics placed therein. E and Ę are hollow shafts or trunnions, and in
order to carry out my invention, after the fabrics have been put into the cylinder, the
fan G is set in motion, which blows heated air through the trunnion E into the
cylinder, or through any other opening, whereby the fabrics will be dried and warmed
ready to absorb the carbonizing gases. When the materials are sufficiently warmed
and dried, the fan G is stopped, and dampers H and I are put in their places.
Another door is employed and placed onto the studs a so as to cover up the perforated
part C; after which, carbonizing gases, from a stove erected in close proximity to the
machine, are allowed to enter the hollow shaft or trunnion F, or through any other
opening, and as the cylinder A revolves, the gases are allowed to penetrate and act
upon the mixed fabrics, destroying the vegetable matter contained therein, whilst the
animal matter remains intact. After the fabrics have been carbonized, the dampers

page_text: are opened, and air blown through the machine by the fan for the purpose of freeing
the fabrics, and clearing the machine from the carbonizing gases, the hot air and
gases escaping by way of chimney or flue J.
Fig 2 of the accompanying drawings shews a slightly modified form of machine;
in this case all the sides of the machine are perforated.
By combining air fans with carbonizing machines, they can be used for two distinct
processes, namely, that of drying and warming and that of carbonizing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
In machines for carbonizing fabrics or fibres, the combination therewith substantially
in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described of a blowing fan for drying
and warming such fabrics or fibres, previous to carbonizing.
