PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Stripping and Cleaning the Revolving Flats
of Carding Engines.
THOMAS TIPPING, Cotton Spinning Mill Manager, 51, Tulketh Crescent, Ashton-
on-Ribble, Lancashire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
An oscillating slab or bar of wood, iron, or any other suitable materiel, on the
lower surface of which is attached a special card Fillet for stripping and cleaning
Carding Engine Revolving Flats, whereby all felting" of fibres in the same is
removed and further accumulations prevented, and it (the invention) may be used
in place of the ordinary stripping comb and rotary brush or as an auxiliary to the
Яame. The special card fillet is made from fine wire moderately tempered, the
wires being left longer from the foundation and more open than ordinary card fillet.

Improved Apparatus for Stripping and Oleaning the Revolving Flats
of Carding Engines.
THOMAS TIPPING, 61, Tulketh Crescent, Ashton-on-Ribble, Lancashire, Cotton
Spinning Mill-Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
-
The invention consists of an oscilating slab of wood (A) iron or any other suit-
able material, oscilating on a revolving eccentric shaft (C) on the lower portion
of the oscilating slab (A) is fixed a special card fillet (B) made from fine wire
moderately tempered, the wire being loft longer from the foundation and more
open than in ordinary card fillets for stripping and cleaning the revolving flats
of carding engines whereby all "felting" in the same (revolving flats) is prevented.
The eccentric shaft C, is caused to revolve in the bearings E, (which are secured
to carding engine sides by set screws N), by a band from the ordinary flat driving
pulley passing over and driving pulley D, which is fastened on one end of it
(shaft C). On the other end of eccentric shaft C, is secured disc H, in which is
fixed a stud carrying rod I, which is attached to lever J. The lower end of levor J
is held to the carding engine side by a stud. Lever J is connected by rod K to
small lever L, which is secured to hollow shaft F. The hollow shaft F is mounted
ou eccentric shaft C. Fixed to hollow shaft F, by blocks G, is the slab A, which
carries special card fillet B.

page_text: The revolving of eccentric shaft C gives a rising and falling motion to slab A;
also, from disc H is given, through rod I, levers J and rod K, an oscillating motion
to hollow shaft F, which motion is communicated to slab A, which carries special
card fillet B. As the revolving flat M is moving along, the special card fillet B,
Fasses through and strips and cleans the fillet of flat M in the forward stroke.
In the return stroke the card fillet B is lifted clear of the fillet on rovolving
flat M.
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:
-
(1) The oscillating slab A clothed with special fillet B.
(2) The eccentric revolving shaft C, on which the above slab A oscillates.
(3) The novelty of the application of the above combined motions to stripping
and cleaning the revolving flats of carding engines.
