PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Damping Roller, or Beater, for Forming a Liquid Spray, or
Agitating and Mixing Liquids.
FRANK FARNWORTH, Engineer, 16, Dundee Lane, Ramsbottom, near Manchester,
England, and JAMES SADLER, Engineer, 45, Callendar Street, Ramsbottom, near
Manchester, England, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a damping roller, or beater, for forming a liquid spray
for damping fabrics, or paper, or said damping roller, or beater, may be used for
agitating, and mixing liquids, & consists of a body a Fig. 1, of any desired section
circular preferred, with netting or guaze b, attached to outside of same, the body a
to be provided with a centre shaft c, on which to revolve.
The netting, or guaze b, to be made of brass wire, or other suitable material, & to
be attached to body a, in such a manner as to form longitudinal projections, standing
out from body as at 11, Fig. 1, these projections to be of any desired shape, &
number, as preferred. The guaze to be preferrably secured to body a, by means
of metallic bars & placed longitudinally on body a, over the top of netting, or
guaze b, & between each projection 6", these bars d, to be secured to body a, by
means of screws, or other suitable means of fastening.
The body a may be made solid as at a Fig. 1, & of wood, or other suitable
material, or for preference, same may be made hollow, as at a¹ Fig. 3, & of copper,
tin, or other suitable metal. In the case of the body being made hollow, as at a¹
Fig. 3, same may be supported on metal rings h, keyed on centre shaft c¹, & the
guaze, or netting secured to body a¹ by the aid of metal bars, & further secured if
preferred, by being soldered to metal body.
Or, for preference, instead of the projections being formed on body, as shewn
at 1 Fig. 1, the guaze, or netting may be placed longitudinally on body a¹ Fig. 3, in
long strips as shew at 6 Fig. 3, & secured thereto by means of brackets f & rings g.

Improved Damping Roller, or Beater, for Forming a Liquid Spray, or
Agitating and Mixing Liquids
FRANK FARNWORTH, Engineer, 16, Dundee Lane, Ramsbottom, near Manchester,
England, and JAMES SADLER, Engineer, 45, Callendar Street, Ramsbottom, near
Manchester, England, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what

page_text: manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
m and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a damping roller, or beater, for forming a liquid spray
for damping fabrics, or paper, or said damping roller, or beater, may be used for
agitating and mixing liquids, & consists essentially of a body ( Fig. 1, of any
desired sectional shape, circular preferred, with netting, or guaze b attached to
outside of same, the body a to be provided with a centre shaft c, on which to revolve.
The netting, or guaze b, to be made of brass wire, or other suitable material, and to
be attached to body d, in such a manner as to form longitudinal projections on
same standing out from body a, as at 6" Fig. 1 these projections to be any number
and shape as preferred. The guaze b to be preferably secured to body a by means
of bars d made from metal, wood, or other suitable material placed longitudinally
on body a, over the top of guaze b, & between each projection 6", these bars to be
secured to body a by means of screws, solder, or other suitable method of fastening.
The body of damping roller, or beater, may be made hollow, as at a, Figs. 1 & 2,
& of copper, tin, or other suitable metal, supported on metal rings e, secured to
centre shaft c, or, said body may be made solid as at all Fig. 3, & of wood, or
other suitable material. Or, for preference, instead of the guaze projections being
formed on body as shewn at 61, Fig. 1, the said guaze, or netting, may be placed
longitudinally on body, in long strips, as shewn at in Fig. 4, & 5, & secured
thereto, by means of brackets f, & rings e¹, and the centre shaft, instead of being
made solid as shewn at c, Fig. 1 & 2, may be made hollow as at c¹ Fig. 4 & 5, &
provided with any number of hollow tubes, secured at one end to hollow
shaft e, & at the other end to roller body, in such a manner so as to connect space
inside roller centre, with space outside roller body, so that when liquor is admitted
into the interior of the hollow shaft c¹ it will by the rotary action of the damping
roller, or beater, pass through the tubes to outside of roller body, & there be
agitated & mixed by means of the guaze attached to exterior of roller body.
For the purpose of forming a liquid spray, the damping roller or beater is made
to revolve whilst partially immersed in the liquid to be operated on, which it forms
into liquid spray, & projects said spray onto the fabric or paper to be damped.
For the purpose of agitating & mixing liquids the said damping roller, or beater,
is made to revolve whilst either partially, or wholly immersed in the liquid to be
operated on.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, & in what manner same is to be performed, we declare that what
claim is:-
we
1. A damping roller, or beater, consisting of a body, having guaze or netting
attached to outside of same, this body to be provided with a centre shaft, so that
said damping roller, or beater may be made to revolve in contact with liquid,
either for the purpose of forming a liquid spray, for damping fabrics, or paper, or
for the purpose of agitating & mixing said liquids, as heretofore described, in
relation to drawings annexed.
2. The combination of above damping roller, or beater, with a hollow centre
shaft & hollow tubes, connecting space inside hollow centre shaft, with space out-
side body of roller or beater, & for the purpose of agitating & mixing liquids, as
described in relation to drawings annexed.
Dated this 6th day of January 1898.
