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.
“For a Machine for Dressing Hair, called a Hatchelling Machine; William Chubb, New York, July 9.
A cylinder about 3 feet in diameter, and 18 inches in length, with its axis standing horizontally, is made to revolve upon a suitable frame. Strips of iron formed into teeth, stand along the cylinder at regular distances from each other. In front of the cylinder there is a feeding cloth upon rollers, like that of a carding machine. Just above the feeding cloth, and upon the same plane with it, there is a sliding frame, with a contrivance for confining the hair to be dressed or hatchelled. This frame is carried forward by a rack and pinion, moved by cross levers, or arms. The cylinder and feeding cloth are to be put in motion by any suitable power; the frame confining the hair is to be moved by hand.
The claim is to the general principle and construction of the machine, and to its application for dressing hair, hemp, &c., &c.
What is the kind of hair to be dressed, or hatchelled, we are not told, or for what purpose it is so prepared, nor are we possessed of the information requisite to form any certain judgment upon the subject; we cannot, therefore, offer any opinion upon the merits of the machine.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 7, Oct. 1829 pgs. 253-254
