PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Roller Temples used in connection with Looms for
Weaving.
I JAMES BRIERLEY of the firm of Brierley and Kershaw Roach Spring Works
Rochdale in the County of Lancaster Doffing Plate and Spring Maker, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention being to provide a means by which in the event of
the pins or needles being damaged the saine may be renewed. According to roller
temples now generally used the needles are inserted or fixed into and around a
cylindrical piece or tube or solid roller from the outside thereof and in the event
of one or more of the needles being broken and a part left in the roller the said
parts not being capable of being readily removed and new ones inserted the said
roller is often discarded as useless though the major portion of the needles may be
perfect.
According to my improvement I form or make the tube or roller in two parts or
halves into each of which or through the thickness of metal forming the said parts
I insert from the inside the needles or pins the said parts being then secured in
position to form the roller on a spinale and situate between two collars or bushes
which may be heated and forged on the spindle and dished out suitably to receive
the ends of the roller when cool the said roller being secured firmly in position by
means of contraction or one of the collars may be provided with a screw thread
and adapted to work on a screw threaded part of the spindle by such means the
roller may be readily removed from and adjusted on the spindle when required for
the purposes of a renewal or application of new needles.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Roller Temples used in connection with Looms for
Weaving.
JAMES BRIERLEY of the firm of Brierley and Kershaw Roach Spring Works
Rochdale in the County of Lancaster Doffing Plate and Spring Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention being to provide a means by which in the event of
the pins or needles being damaged the same may be renewed. According to the
roller temples now in use the needles are inserted or fixed into and secured in a
metal cylindrical piece or tube, or solid roller, from the outside thereof, and in the
event of one or more of the needles being broken and a portion left in the roller,
as is often the case, the said piece not being easily capable of extraction, for the
purpose of inserting a new one, the said roller is often discarded as useless, though
the major portion of the needles may be perfect.
In order that my invention may be understood, I have reference to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, in which,
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of my invention.
Fig. 2 being a section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a figure shewing the spindle separately from the shell,
Fig. 4 is a view or section of the shell,

page_text: According to my construction I form or make the roller from a cylindrical tube
or which may if desired be of conical or taper form on the outside thereof in
which roller the needles are to be inserted and which roller is made in two parts
or halves a, a, into each of which, or through the thickness of metal forming the
said parts, the needles b, are inserted or passed from the interior or inside. The
segments a, a, are secured in position on the spindle c, between the collars e', and d,
the one collar e', being forged in one piece with the spindle, the said collar cl,
being bored or recessed at to receive the extremities of the segments a, a', which
are formed suitably to fit within the recessed part, the collar d is an adjustable
collar, being bored and provided with a screw thread, and adapted to screw on to a
corresponding screwed part of the spindle c, such collar being recessed suitably
in the like manner as of the forged collar e' sec section Fig. 2, consequently in
the case of any renewal of the needles, the collar d may be unscrewed and the
segments, a', may be easily removed from the spindle in order to admit of the
needles being inserted from the interior or inside of the segments a, a', as before
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The spindle e provided with a forged collar c', suitably recessed to receive the
extremities of the segment or semi-circular pieces a, a', and an adjustable collar d,
suitably recessed for the like purpose and adapted to screw on a screwed part of
the said spindle, as and for the purposes herein fully set forth and described.
2. The semi-circular cylindrical or taper formed segment pieces a, and a¹, as
and for the purposes herein fully set forth and described.
3. The combination of the spindle c, provided with a fast and loose collar e', and d
respectively, with a roller in two parts or sections a, a, as and for the purposes
herein fully set forth and described in the drawings hereunto annexed.
Dated this 19th day of February A.D. 1892.
