I
My improvement consists of a new method for putting pressure on the top roller,
of ordinary wringing machines and consists of metal step or cap made with a round
pivot on the top. I place the aforesaid step or cap between the opening of the
framework at each end of the machine and which rests on the top roller shaft.
then place a spiral spring at each end of the machine which fits on the pivot of the
aforesaid step or cap.
place a cap made of suitable shape on the top of each
spring. I then make a suitable bracket or fixing which is attached to the top of
the aforesaid framework at each end of the machine, the said bracket having a
screw attached for the purpose of putting pressure on the aforesaid cap which rests
on the spiral springs and puts pressure on the rollers, by this appliance I get a
more direct pressure than by any other known method.

Fig. 1, made of suitable shape and fits on the top roller shaft as shewn in Fig. 1.
I then place a spiral spring marked 6 on Fig. 1. on the aforesaid step or cap as
shewn in Fig. 1. I place a cap made of suitable shape marked c on Fig. 1 with a
hole in the centre which is threaded on top of the spring as shewn in Fig. 1. I
then make suitable brackets or fixings marked d on Fig. 2. which is attached to
the top of the framework at each end of the machine as shewn in Fig. 2, the said
brackets having a screw attached which screws into the aforesaid cap marked c on
Fig. 1. and which rests on the spiral spring marked 6 on Fig. 1 and puts pressure
on the rollers as shewn in Fig. 1. I then fix a shaft marked e on Fig. 2,
longitudinal across the top of the machine in suitable holes in the brackets at each
end marked d on Fig. 2. and fitted at each end with a tooth wheel marked ƒ on

wheels attached to the said longitudinal shaft as shewn in Fig. 2.
hand wheel marked g on Fig. 1 and 2 on the top of one screw for the purpose of
working both screws at the same time thereby putting a even pressure at each end
of the rollers at the same time.
