IMPROVE- MENTS IN JERRYS" OR PERPETUAL CUTTING MACHINES
Year: 1884

page_text: We JOHN WILLIAM TAYLOR Manufacturer PAUL GLEDHILL Cloth Finisher and
JOHN LIVERSIDGE Cloth Finisher all of the Colne Road Mills Huddersfield in
the County of York do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN JERRYS" OR PERPETUAL CUTTING MACHINES to be as follows:-
"
**
-
These Improvements relate to the Jerrys" or. Perpetual cutting Machines
employed in shearing or cutting textile fabrics and have for their object to prevent
abrasion or other damage to the goods passing through the machine when any
foreign hard or lumpy substance in upon or under the goods passes beneath the
cutting cylinder.
-
To accomplish this object we stretch over or secure to the upper surface of the
bed or of the bed plate of the machine one or more folds of cloth or other suitable
material of the necessary width. If the material employed has not a smooth
surface we further lay over it a layer or fold of smooth material so as to reduce
the friction and facilitate the passage of the goods through the machine. The
layers or folds of material stretched upon or secured to the bed or the bed plate of
the machine forms a soft cushion for the cutter to rest upon and prevents abrasion
or other damage to the goods as herein before mentioned.

These Improvements relate to the "Jerrys or perpetual cutting machines
employed in shearing or cutting textile fabrics and have for their object to prevent
abrasion or other damage to the goods passing through the machine when any
foreign hard or lumpy substance in upon or under the goods passes beneath the
cutting cylinder.
To accomplish this object we stretch over or secure to the upper surface of the
bed or of the bed plate of the machine one or more folds of cloth felt india rubber
or other suitable soft or yielding material of the necessary width. If the material
employed has not a smooth surface we further lay upon or over it a fold or layer
of material having a smooth surface such as paper, satin or other suitable material
so as to reduce the friction and facilitate the passage of the goods through the
machine. The fold or folds of material stretched upon or secured to the bed or
the bed plate of the machine forms a cushion below the cutting cylinder and
permits any foreign hard or lumpy substance to yield or sink therein on contact
with the cutters and thus prevents abrasion or other damage to the goods.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is
In Jerrys or Perpetual cutting Machines the use of a soft or yielding material
upon the bed or bed plate substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set
forth.
