Description

, UNrrED sra'rrs PATENT orrucn EDWARD KELLOGG, OF NEWT HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
WOOL-PICKING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 8,634, dated January 6, 1852.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, EDWARD KELLOGG, of New Hart-ford, in the county of Litchfield l and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful improvement in the ee shell for picking-machines for wool, cotton, and other brous substances, to open, extend, and separate the matted ber, and prepare it for carding and manufacturing.
. The nature of my invention consists in attaching a comb to the upper edge of the shell so called) of the shell andratchet pickers heretofore used, and itis applicable and adapted to any of the several forms of that kind of pickers; and especially the hard-waste picker for which a patent was granted to myself, and t-o me in trust. as administrator for the heirs at law of George C. Kellogg, deceased, dated March 28th, 1848. And the nature of the improvement made by the attachment of a comb to the shell at the line between t-he surface of the feeder, and the main picking or spur cylinder and very near to both `of `them is that the very small locks and shreds, and even threads and knots, are more perfectly holdem-and holden nearer to their last ends-than they can be between the feed rollerand a smooth edge of a shell,while the teeth or spikes (of whichever sort they may be)-of the main picking cylinder areV acting upon the fiber to open and disentangle it.
To enable others skilled in cotton and woolen machinery to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it fully and exactly, together with its connection with the parts of picking machines now in use, reference being had to the sectional drawings hereto annexed and forming a port of this specification.
In Figure l, a, et', represent a transverse section of the cloth-rollers belonging to the feeding-table, with 2),-the feeding apron, or creeper-cloth upon them, and moved by one of them a.
c, is a transverse section of a ratchet feeder.
d, represents a section of a main picking cylinder, showing one plate of serrated picking teeth.
e, e, in Fig. 1 represent sections of two straight bars long enough to extend across the feeding table, usually made of cast iron,
and of the form shown in the transverse Section as represented and well tted togetlier, with flat faces, and holden together, with from four to seven screw-pins, represented by s', and forming together a kind of clamps, to hold firmly and straight, the steel comb-plate between their lanches, or rising edges,-so that the plane of the plate forms nearly a` tangent with the cylindric surface of the feeder 0,-but forms a chord with the circular surface of the picking cylinder as further explained in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2, shows the same parts, marked with the same letters (in capitals -on a scale of full working dimensions.
G, represents a piece of the steel combplate which is holden in the clamps, and constitutes the upper, and working edge of the compound, or combined shell, over which the picking is done between C, and D. This comb plateV is like one kind of clotting combs used on carding machines, and commonly known as the conical or daggertooth. plate but it is necessarily too frail to resist the violent action of the picking cylinder, and is liable frequently to be broken, by hard substances fed in, or other casualtiesg-and in order to replace it easily, it is a considerable improvement to hold it in clamps; though I have used it fastened to a suitable form of shell by small screws or rivets.
It should be observed, that there are some benefits to be obtained by the form, arrangement, and relative position of the comb, the forward part of the shell, and the picking cylinder, so that its circumference, or the points of the picking teeth may app-roach a little nearer to the points of the combteeth, than to the gums or roots of them, and the naked plate below; and so leaving a small recess, in a line below the teeth., into which the small locks, knots, threads &c may recede a little, while they are still holden by the comb-teeth, and more lightly, and yet repeatedly operated upon by the picking teeth, to open and disentangle them` more gradually,-rather than to rend, or
cut through them by fewer and more violent strokes. And below this small recess, which is represented at o, the forward edge of the compound shell is so formed and set as to cause the fiber to re-approach the picking teeth, and still be holden by the comb, if the staple is of sufficient length. And by attaching my improved shell, and its combined parts as herein described, or their equivalents substantially the same to pickplate to the upper and forward edge ofthe shell, when combined with the compound shell to hold the comb-plate as above described, the several parts thereof being combined for the purpose aforesaid.
2. Also I claim the small recess just below the upper edge of the shell, for the 20 purposes'described and set forth.
EDWARD KELLOGG.
