Improvements in the Drawing Rollers of Drawing, Roving, and
Spinning Machinery.
I, BENJAMIN IVES, of 4, Henry Street, Wakefield, in the County of York, Soap,
Grease and Manure Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
This invention relates to improvements in the drawing rollers of drawing,
roving and spinning machinery, and its object is to provide a cheap and durable
leather roller.
For this purpose I employ leather shavings and other suitable scrap or waste
leather which I grind with water into a pulp. I then press the pulp thus formed,
preferably by hydraulic pressure, into sheets or it may be pressed by means of
suitable moulds into the form of rollers direct. When the pulp is pressed into
sheets which are thinner than the finished roller a number of them are cemented
and pressed together to form the required thickness.
Rollers formed of consolidated leather in this way may be refaced again and
again by simply turning them in a lathe.

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 improvements in the drawing rollers of drawing,

For this purpose I employ leather shavings and other suitable scrap and waste
leather which I grind with water into pulp. I then press the pulp thus formed,

suitable moulds into the form of rollers direct. When the pulp is pressed into
sheets which are thinner than the finished roller a number of them are cemented
and connected together to form the required thickness.

The accompanying drawing represents a pair of my improved drawing rollers
in which one of the rollers is shown in section to show that this particular roller
is formed of a number of comparatively thin discs A glued or cemented and pressed
together with the required pressure. The rollers are secured to the spindle B in
the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A drawing roller of the type specified formed of leather reduced to pulp and
then pressed by hydraulic or equivalent pressure to consolidate it, substantially as
herein shown and described.
.
2. A drawing roller of the type specified formed of a number of sheets or discs
cemented and pressed together said sheets being composed of leather reduced to a
pulp and pressed into form, substantially ás herein shown and described.
