UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ENOCII WAIT, OF FRANKLIN,'MASSACIIUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-WICKINGS.
Specification formin g part of Letters Patent No. 157,949, dated December 22, 1874; application tiled November 25, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknoivn that I, ENOCII VAITE, of Franklin, of the county of Norfolk and :State of Massachusetts, have invented a new vand useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Lamp- `\'\"ieking; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the accompanying specication, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is an edge view, and Fig. 2 a side elevation, of one of my improved lamp-wicks.
My invention is an improved manufacture or lamp-wick fabric, composed 0f a stratum of animal or Wool pulp, and al stratum of vegetable pulp or paper arranged in Contact, and connected side by side, and having the latter stratum dentated, all being substantially as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawings, A denotes the layer or stratum of wool-pulp, and B that of vegetable pulp or paper. The latter I usually form upon a Woven-wire screen or cylinder, in order that the surface of the layer of pulp lnay receive the impression of the wires of the screen, and thus become dentated, as shown at a in the drawings. Instead of this the pulpdayer may be made with a smooth surface, and afterward be embossed or dentated.
In manufacturing the wicking-fabric, which, after being made, is to be cut up into strips sulieient for wicks for lamps, I usually manufact-ure, by a paper-cngine, a pulp of wool or wcoleu rags; and by such an engine I also make an ordinary paper-pulp of one or more vegetable materials, such as lax or cotton, or of linen or cotton rags or straw, and these two pulpnl form, by a paper-machine, into sheets, and lay and fix one upon the other when in a wet state, forming in this way the fabric; I sometimes rub the Wool-pulp or apply friction to it,s o as to felt its bers together, more or less. rlhe vegetable or paper-pulp stratum I usually crease or indent or dentate, in order that the teeth of the wick-elevator of a lamp may gain a'bettery hold of it than would be the ease were it Without such dentations or creases.
The vegetable or paper strat-um, when tinished and dry, renders the -wiek stili, while the wool stratum, under like circumstances, causes the wick to be elastic, so as to easily give and fit to a wick-tube. Both stratulns will readily absorb the oil or fluid to be burned, and will also cause such to burn with little or no incrustation of the wick.
I claim as an improved manufacture- A lamp-wick fabric, substantially as specified, com posed of a stratum of animal or wool pulp, as described, and a stratum of vegetable pulp or paper, arranged and fixed together, aud having the latter stratum dentated, all as and for the purpose as explained.
ENOGII VAITE.
