Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"The specification of this machine gives a general description of the whole, without telling what is claimed as new. There is a double conical former for receiving the wool from the carding machine, in the same way as in several other machines. As these revolve and receive the wool, it is beaten by what are called patters, that is, strips of wood which strike upon the cones, by a rapid vibratory motion; one extending along each cone on the side opposite to that upon which it receives the wool; these serve to consolidate the body, by giving it a slight felting. These patters receive their motion from two cam-wheels. We apprehend that the patters are the improvement intended to be claimed."
