Letters .Patent No. 85,219, dated December 22, 1868.

IMPRo'vED Woon-0mm@ MAcnmn The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and part of the same.

To all whom it may conce/rn'.-

Beit known that we, RICHARD DEXTER, and HAMo -to be applied to a card.'

. Figure A2 shows it with the cover removed.

Figure?) is a cross-section,

The same letters denote the same parts in each of the figures.

In constructing ourinvention--fv A is a trough in which the oil or composition is placed. u

B is a shaft ruiming in suitable bearings in the ends of the same, and having a pulley, C, at one end, or other devicel to give it a continuous motion.

D D are two heads fast to the shaft B, and having the arms E E pivoted to them, and provided With'stops, c e, to drive 'said arms.

F F E arev dripping-Wires' extending from one arm to'the other, the arms and stops being so placed that the arms and the drippingwvires, areV carried down through the oil near the bottom of the trough, and up to the position shown in iig. 3, or thereabouts, in the direction indicated by the arrow.. The arms and wires then fall forward over'the edge of A, as shown by the dottedlines, and the jar or stop releases the drops hanging on the wires, thus sprinkling the wool as they fall outside the trough, the cover I being made of such form as to givev room for this motion of the arms..

The continuous motion of the shaft gradually draws in the arms, and the stops carry them down through the fluid again, to repeat the operation, the dotted line A representing its position.

This machine is adapted to be applied to the cards known as the fir-st' breakers, and should be placed level, or nearly so, though it may in some cases lbe used to-advantage on other parts, or Where sprinkling is desirab1e, p

It is evident' that lnorethan one pair of arms may be used, and that they and the stops may be carried byarms instead of heads, and that a rod maybe extended from one to the other, and staysto support the dripping-Wires, as at c c, g. 2, and various formsof dripping-Wires, as corrugated, spiral, woven, and perforated metal, andthat other modifications of parts may be made Without departing from the-principles of our invention.

' What we claim as new, and-desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl l., The employment of acontinuously-revolving driving-shaft,s B, to which, or to arms' or disks onY which, are secured ,pivoted arms E, provided with drippingdevices, all soconstrueted that at'each revolution of the driving-shaft the pivoted' arms will fall forward,

and deliver the, oildirectly onto the Wool, without theaid of .intervening-mechanism.'

2. The combination of a dripping-mechanism, delivering the lubricating-material directly upon the wool, with loosely-pivoted arms carrying the same, substantially as aboveset forth and described.

3. The combination of thepivoted arms E, and the dripping-devices F AE, with the continuously-revolving shaft B and the trough A,'all constructed and operatingsubstantialiy as described.
