Fi′ber-gun.

A device for disintegrating vegetable fiber. Lyman's patent, No. 21,077, of 1858. Flax, hemp, jute, cane, or wood are placed in a cylinder and charged with hot water, steam, gas, or air under great pressure; the cover of the cylinder being suddenly removed, the mass is projected into a chamber where the sudden expansion of the fluid under pressure ruptures the cells and tears the fibers apart.

Attempts have been made with more or less success to use this system of rapid exclusion of the matter, under pressure of generated carbonic acid, resulting from the treatment of the material first with a caustic alkali and then with acid. See cottonizing fiber.

1877.
