We, JAMES RILEY ATKINSON, JAMES HENRY ATKINSON, and WILLIAM ARTHUR
SUTCLIFFE of the firm of John Atkinson and Sons of Watson Mills Sowerby
Bridge, Yorkshire, Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MOSER RAISING GIG EMPLOYED IN RAISING
to be as follows:-
THE PILE OF WOVEN FABRICS
"
'
Our invention has reference to that class of raising gig for which Letters Patent
were granted to Charles Edward Moser bearing date the 22nd of December
A.D. 1884 No. 16,801.
According to the present arrangement of Moser's machine the fabric to be raised
issues from the machine at the same point where it enters the machine which in
practice is found very objectionable, and the object of one part of our invention is
to remedy that defect by a new arrangement of mechanism.
In carrying out our invention we employ the same form of mechanism as is
shewn and described in Moser's Specification, but we combine therewith certain
guide rollers for conducting the fabric out of the machine at the opposite end
to the feed.
The fabric is then passed over a drawing roller and under a nipping roller at
which point the fabric is operated upon on both sides by means of rotary "whisk
rollers which lift and straighten the pile of the fabric previously disturbed or
ruffled by a certain roller marked G in the drawings accompanying Moser's.
specification.
After the fabric has been operated upon by the "whisk" rollers it is conducted
by suitably arranged guide rollers over the top of the machine where it is delivered
and "cuttled or allowed to drop into any suitable receptacle.
By the arrangement of mechanism berein set forth, the fabric is finished by
once passing through the machine which is not the case in the present construction
of "Moser's" machine.

Raising the Pile of Woven Fabrics.
We JAMES. RILEY ATKINSON, JAMES HENRY ATKINSON, and WILLIAM ARTHUR
SUTCLIFFE of the firm of John Atkinson and Sons of Watson Mills Sowerby
Bridge, Yorkshire Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MOSER RAISING GIG EMPLOYED IN RAISING
THE PILE OF WOVEN FABRICS and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-

Our invention has reference to that class of raising gig for which Letters Patent
were granted to Charles Edward Moser bearing date the 22nd December A.D. 1884
No 16801.
According to the present arrangement of Moser's machine the fabric to be raised
issues from the machine at the same point where it enters the machine which in
practice is found very objectionable and the object of one part of our invention is
to remedy that by a new arrangement of mechanism.
The
In order that our invention may be better understood we herein give reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings which is sectional elevation of a Moser
gig mill with two teazing cylinders and having our improvements applied thereto
all the parts being arranged for operating upon both sides of the material under
operation, which material enters in at the front of the machine by passing over
guide roller A, and by means of other guide rollers C, D, and E, is made to come
into contact with, and touches the front teazing cylinder B in two places.
fabric then passes over guide roller F, over another guide roller H, under and over
other guide rollers J K, and L, which are so placed as to cause the opposite side of
the fabric to come into contact twice with the other teazing cylinder M, by which
means both sides of the fabric will have been dressed. The fabric now passes over
the back guide roller G, which roller rotates the contrary way to the teazing
cylinder M which has just raised the pile, consequently the roller G disturbes the
pile to such an extent that when the fabric leaves a Moser machine, the said
fabric has to be taken to another raising gig of different construction to straighten
the pile and finish the piece. To prevent such unnecessary labor is the object of
our invention and this we accomplish by carrying the fabric from the roller G
under additional guide rollers N and N¹ over drawing roller P, and under nipping
roller R, at which point two or other number of "whisks" S are rotating on both
sides of the fabric for the purpose of lifting and straightening the pile which was
disturbed by the roller G. After the fabric passes the "whisks" it is conducted
over the rollers T and cuttled by cuttling apparatus as shewn at U.
By the additions to a Moser machine as above described the piece is finished
after once passing through the machine.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we would observe that
we are aware of Clark's Patent No. 1791 of 1881 and make no claim to any parts or
combination of parts claimed in the specification of that patent but what we do
claim is :-
Firstly. The arrangement of rollers such as are herein described and shewn
in the drawings, whereby the piece issues from the machine at the rear instead of
at the front as in a Moser machine.
Secondly. The employment of one or more "whisks" for operating upon the
piece after it has been operated upon by a roller such as G, in manner and for
purposes set forth.
