“For Raising the Nap on Woolen Cloth; Zachariah Allen, Providence, Rhode Island, August 10.
The improvements in the machinery for raising the nap upon cloth, consist, first, of what is, by the patentee, denominated combs, two of which are made to act, with reversed movements; one being placed at each end of a roller over which the cloth passes, preparatory to its being operated upon by the teasles, or cards. The intention of the combs, and of two rods attached to them, is, to draw the cloth, widthwise, thereby removing all wrinkles, or folds, which would prevent its being acted upon equally in every part; secondly, in a contrivance for saying the cloth in regular folds, after it has passed the teasles, in order that it may be ready for the same operation, and rise free and disentangled, for this purpose. These are the two points claimed. The exact mode pursued would require drawings for its explanation.”
