Improvements in the Bearings of Axles of Rollers in Wringing and
Mangling Machines.
We HENRY LEACH WILSON and JOHN CLEGG both of Atlas Works, Clayton-le-
Moors, near Accrington, in the County of Lancaster, Machine Makers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
This invention relates to an improved construction of roller bearings for the axles
or shafts of wringing or mangling machines and to an improved oil or grease proof
box within which the said rollers are contained and work, the object being to construct
a bearing in few parts, and to ensure the several rollers being free from contact with
each other, and to dispense with the necks, and end supports heretofore used for
carrying the several rollers.
In the construction of roller bearings according to this our invention we employ an
annular ring in which radially are formed a series of slots, and recesses. The rollers
are turned to the requisite length, and diameter, and midway their length are turned
down so as to form a neck which is received in the slot of the annular ring referred to,
the several slots and rollers are at and of such relative distances and diameters as, that
when, the whole of the rollers are in their containing slots, the roller circumferences
are clear of each other at the same time protruding or forming an inner circle slightly
less than the hole in the annular ring the rollers and their carrying ring are placed
within a containing grease proof box through which and lineable with the length of
the rollers is a tapped hole into which from the outside of the box is screwed a bossed
bush.

Improvements in the Bearings of Axles of Rollers in Wringing and
Mangling Machines.
We, HENRY LEACH WILSON, and JOHN CLEGG both of Atlas Works Clayton-le-
Moors, near Accrington in the County of Lancaster, Machine Makers 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of roller bearings for the axles or
shafts of wringing or mangling machines, and to an improved oil or grease proof box
within which the said rollers are contained and work, the object being to construct a
bearing in few parts, and to ensuro the several rollers being free from contact with
each other, and to dispense with the necks and end supports heretofore used for
carrying the several rollers.
In the construction of roller bearings according to this our invention we employ an
annular ring in which radially is formed a series of slots and recesses. The rollers
are turned to the requisite length and diameter, and midway their length are turned
down so as to form a neck which is received in the slot of the annular ring, the
several slots and rollers are at, and of such relative distances and diameters as that
when the whole of the rollers are in their containing slots, the roller circumferences
are clear of each other, at the same time protruding or forming an inner circle
slightly less than the hole in the annular ring, the rollers and their carrying ring are
placed within a containing grease proof box one end of which is tapped lineable with
the length of the rollers, and fitted with a screwed bossed bush.
Such being the nature and object of our said Invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a
part of this specification in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section.
Fig. 2 is an elevation, screw boss being removed.
Fig. 3 like elevation, screw boss and roller removed.
Fig. 4 is a plan of complete bearing.
The remaining figures are of the several parts detached in order to clearly illustrate
construction of same, the drawings being about full size.
In the construction of roller bearings according to this our invention we employ an
annular ring 1 in which radially is formed a series of slots and recesses 2. The rollers 3
are turned to the requisite length and diameter, and midway their length are turned
down so as to form a neck 4, which is received in the slot 2 of the annular ring 1,
the several slots 2 and rollers 3 are at, and of such relative distances and diameters,
as that when the whole of the rollers 3. are in their containing slots 2 (see Figs. 2
and A) the roller circumferences are clear of each other, at the same time protruding

page_text: or forming an inner circle slightly less than the hole in the annular ring 1, the
rollers 3, and their annular ring are placed within a containing grease proof box 5,
one end 6 being tapped lineable with the length of the rollers, and fixed with a screwed
bossed bush 7 secured in position by the holding screw 8, the sides of the box 5 are
grooved as shewn on plan view so as to hold the whole in position by means of the
beading or edges of the framing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is,
The improved axle bearing wherein is employed the annular rocessed ring 1, and
rollers 3, recessed as at 4, in combination with a containing box or case such as 5,
and as herein fully described and illustrated by drawings annexed.
