Arrangement of Parts of such Machines for that Purpose.
We, WILLIAM KILLIN, of New Road, Croxley Green, near Rickmansworth, in the
county of Hertford, Paper maker, and JAMES BROWN MASSON of 63 Lavender Road,
Battersea, London, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
Our Invention consists of an arrangement of Rolls and Felts whereby the web of
Paper after leaving the Couch Rolls, is carried on a travelling felt, and is caused to
enter the "First press" rolls in the contrary direction to that which it usually enters.
The paper being thus reversed, the "wire" side is brought into contact with the
"naked" surface of the Press roll, instead of being pressed on the felt as usual. By
adopting three "first press" rolls the "wire" side is twice pressed against the surface
of the Roll.
The result of this is that both sides of the paper are equalised in appearance and the
objectionable roughness given to paper by machine wires is entirely obliterated.
In the drawing herewith A. A. represents the frame of a paper making machine.
B. B. represent the "Couch" rolls, C represents a web of paper passing from the
couch rolls on to an independent travelling felt D. D. By means of this felt the
paper is carried forward beyond the "first press" rolls to E., at which point the paper
is turned over on to a felt F. and carried through the rolls, with the "wire" side
pressed against the "naked" roll G.
The paper being carried round this roll by the felt F. F., is again pressed by the
roll H. From here the paper can either be taken through the "second press "
rolls M. M. in the usual manner, or directly through by the felt P. P. as shown
K. K... are the ordinary rolls for carrying the felts.

We WILLIAM KILLIN of New Road, Croxley Green near Rickmansworth in the
County of Hertford, Paper maker and JAMES BROWN MASSON, of 63 Lavender Road,
Battersea, London Engineer 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 our invention is to press the wire side of the web first, by the naked
surface of a press roll to obliterate the marks of the wire. To enable this to be done
it is necessary for the web after leaving the wire to be turned over so that the wire
side is first acted upon by the first set of press rolls. A novel arrangement of press
rolls and travelling felts for the purpose of this invention is illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing-which is a diagrammic side elevation-with aid of which we will
proceed to fully describe our invention.
A, represents the wire, B, guide roller for same to couch rolls C. C. E the web
of paper conveyed on to the diagonally arranged felt D; near the bottom of the top
of this felt, the web E, is lifted and passed round roller F on to the travelling felt, G,
thereby turning over the web to bring the wire side uppermost, the felt G, carries the
web between the first press rolls H and H', the former of which presses the web by
its naked surface on the wire side of the web. The web in passing round the roll H,
is again turned over and passes over guide roller J, on to the travelling felt K, which
carries it through the second press rolls L, and L', the former of which press the
web on the reverse side to what roll H, did; the web then passes in direction of arrow
to the finishing part of the machine. M guide rollers for the travelling felts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :
1. Turning over the web of paper after leaving the wire to enable the wire side to
be first pressed.
2. In a paper making machine the combined arrangement of travelling felts and
press rolls, as and for the purposes described.
