WILLIAM EMERSON, OF SACO, AND REUBEN'M. HOBBS, OF BIDDEFORD, ME.

CARDING-ENGINE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 244,743, dated July 26, 1881. Application filed April 25, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM EMERSON, of Saco, and EEUEEN M. HoBBs, of Biddeford, of the county of York, of the State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Garding-Engines; and We do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which-- Figure 1 is a view,in perspective, of a carding-machine with our invention. Fig. 2 is a top view of the lower delivery-rollmand the `and delivery-rolls in end view. Fig. 4 is a guards applied to its shaft and the frame of the machine. Fig. 3 is atransverse section of one of the guards, and showing the trumpet rear elevation of the trumpet and guards.

Our invention, the nature of which is defined in the claim hereinafter made, is to support the trumpet and upper delivery-roll, and to cover the shaft of the lower delivery-roll,

in manner to prevent the sliver or fibrous ma` terial combed from the doffer from catching upon and being wound about the said shaft. The inventionis also to obtain between the said shaft and doer a free open space for the discharge of librous or other matters raised from wool in its passage from the doffer to the trumpet.

-In Fig. 1 of .the said drawings, A denotes the doier, B the comb, C the trumpet, D and E the delivery-rolls, and F the frame, of the carding-engine.

The shaft of the lower roller, E, is represented at G in the drawings.

In carrying out our invention we extend over the shaft G, from the roll E to the next adjacent sides of the frame F, two rigid guards, HV H, each being a plate bent or curved trans- '40 versely, as shown in Fig. 3. These guards, at

their outer ends, we fasten fIrmly to the sides of the frame F. There extends back from each guard, at its inner end, an ear, a, to enter a notch, d, in one of two short legs, b b, extending down from the trumpet, in manner-as represented in Figs. 3 and 4, the said ears and notched legs serving, with the guards, to support the trumpet in position. Furthermore,

from each guard H there extends upward, in a ered by the guards, so as to prevent the wool from the doffercatchin g and being wound upon :such shaft, but that the trumpet and upper feed-roller are supported by the guards and by the ears, arms, and legs, as hereinbefore described, and that there is between the guards and the doft'er a clear space for the discharge of waste matters shaken or. separated from thc wool in its passage from the doier to the trumpet.

In a carding engine or machine, in combination with the frame F, trumpet C, and the delivery-rolls D and E in front thereof, and with the shaft G of the. lower of said rolls, the two stationary guards H H, arranged as represented, with the said shaft G and its roll E, and secured to the frame F, and provided with means, essentially as described, for supporting the trumpet and upper roll.
