IMPROVEMENTS IN RAISING GIGS EMPLOYED IN FINISHING WOOLLEN AND OTHER SIMILAR GOODS."
Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Brook Jubb, of Batley, in the County of York,
Woollen Manufacturer, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN RAISING
GIGS EMPLOYED IN FINISHING WOOLLEN AND OTHER SIMILAR GOODS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Brook Jubb at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 14th February 1880.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN RAISING GIGS EMPLOYED IN FINISHING WOOLLEN AND OTHER
SIMILAR GOODS."
Hitherto in this class of machine only one side or face of the cloth has been
operated upon whilst passing through the machine, and when the other side or face
of the cloth is required to be operated upon the cloth had to be passed through the
machine a second time and undergo another operation. My Invention is intended
to obviate this by arranging the machine so that both sides or faces of the cloth
can be "raised" or operated upon at one and the same time; and the improvements
consist in the employment of an additional raising roller working in combination
with the ordinary raising cylinder. The additional raising roller may be covered
with card covering or teazles, and placed in such a position that both sides or faces
of the cloth are operated upon whilst it is passing through the machine.
My Invention also relates to the cleaning roller usually placed underneath the
large raising cylinder; and the improvements consist in covering or partially
covering this cleaning roller with steel or other card teeth which more effectually
cleans the teazles of the raising cylinder than can be done by a cleaning roller
carried or partially covered with bristles.

the said James Brook Jubb in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 14th
August 1880.
JAMES BROOK JUBB, of Batley, in the County of York, Woollen Manufacturer.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN RAISING GIGS EMPLOYED IN FINISHING WOOLLEN AND OTHER
SIMILAR GOODS."
Hitherto in this class of machine only one side or face of the cloth has been
operated upon whilst passing through the machine, and when the other side or face
of the cloth required to be operated upon the cloth had to be passed through the
same or another machine a second time and undergo another operation.
My Invention is intended to obviate this by arranging the machine so that both
sides or faces of the cloth can be "raised" or operated upon at one and the same
time; and the improvements consist,-
]
Firstly. In the employment of an additional raising roller working in com-
bination with the ordinary raising cylinder. The additional raising roller may]
be covered with card covering or teazles, and placed in such a position that
both sides or faces of the cloth is operated upon whilst it is passing through
the machine.
In order that the Invention may be more fully understood, reference is given to
the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, whorein Fig. 1 is side clevation of a "raising
gig," and Fig. 2 is cross section of same. A is the ordinary "raising" cylinder
covered with teazles or cards as usual, and B is the additional raising roller or
cylinder (by preference) covered with card teeth or teazles. It will easily be
understood that as the underside of the cloth C comes in contact with the
cylinder A the surface thereof will be "raised" in the ordinary manner, and as
the cloth passes around the guide rollers D and E the underside of the cloth
becomes the outside, and the unraised side of the cloth is presented and bears
upon the raising roller B which raises the surface of the cloth, thus avoiding the
necessity of passing the cloth through the machine a second time; G is a cleaning
roller employed for cleaning the raising roller B.
Secondly. My Invention relates to the cleaning roller usually placed underneath
the large raising cylinder; and the improvements consist in covering or partially
covering this cleaning roller with steel or other card teeth which more effectually
cleans the teazlos of the raising cylinder than can be done by a cleaning roller.
covered or partially covered with bristles.
This part of my Invention is illustrated in the accompanying Drawings, H being
the cleaning roller on which are placed tufts or sections of steel card teeth h, which
in practice is found to clean the cylinder A very much better than a roller covered
with teazles or bristles.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this my Invention,
and shewn by Drawings how the same is to be performed, I would have it
understood that I do not confine myself to the position nor diameter of the
roller B, nor to the exact details hercin shewn and described, as the same may
bo varied without departing from the main features thereof; but what I believe
to be new and therefore claim is,-
Firstly. The application of the additional raising roller B, so placed and arranged
that two sides or faces of the cloth may be operated upon by passing through the
machine once.

page_text: Secondly. The use of steel or other metal card teeth as a covering or partial
covering for the cleaning roller G.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Brook Jubb, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twelfth day of August, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty.
