IMPROVE- MENTS IN OR RELATING TO CARD CLOTHING FOR CARDING ENGINES
Year: 1885

page_text: I JOHN THOMAS FALLOWS, of Haughton Dale Mills, Denton, in the County of
Lancaster, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OR RELATING TO CARD CLOTHING FOR CARDING ENGINES, to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of improvements in or relating to the card clothing of
that class of carding engines in which instead of ordinary carding cylinders an
endless band or belt of card clothing or other carding agent is employed, the band
or belt revolving round two or more cylinders or rollers.
The object of my Invention is to prevent the teeth on such endless band or belt
from being forced out of position or partly driven back through the foundation so
that the points of the teeth do not come in contact with the fibre to be carded.
I effect this object by employing an additional or supplementary belt placed
and working between the endless carding band and the cylinders or rollers. This
supplementary belt may be formed wholly or partly of metal or any other suitable
material or combination of materials, and it may either be cemented, pinned, or
otherwise affixed or secured to the back of the endless carding belt or band so as
to form a portion of the foundation, or it may be used independently as a separate
belt.

MENTS IN OR RELATING TO CARD CLOTHING FOR CARDING ENGINES, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-

This
I effect this object by employing an additional or supplementary belt placed and
working between the endless carding band and the cylinders or rollers.
supplementary belt may be formed wholly or partly of metal or any other suitable
material, or combination of materials, and it may either be cemented, pinned, or
otherwise affixed or secured to the back of the endless carding belt or band so as
to form a portion of the foundation, or it may be used independently as a separate
beit.
And in order that my Invention may be fully understood and readily carried
into effect I will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, reference being had
to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view of an endless carding band to which iny
Improvements are applied and Fig. 2 is a side or edge view of the same including
the supplementary belt in part and one of the pulleys over which it is passed.
a is the usual carding cloth or band; b the carding teeth or pins on the same;
cone of the pulleys or rollers over which the endless band of carding cloth a is
passed; and d the additional or supplementary band or belt above mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The combination, with a carding-band or belt on which carding teeth are held
or secured, of an additional or supplementary band or belt, made of metal or other
suitable material and placed and working between the said carding-band or belt
and the rollers or pulleys over which it is passed, substantially in the manner
herein shown and described for the purposes specified.
