ROBERT HARTLEY 243 Entwistle Road Rochdale Cotton Carder JAMES
BEAUMARIS COCKS 34 South Street Rochdale in the County of Lancaster Cotton
Mill Manager 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 the electric stop motion drawing frames for fibrous
materials, and consists of a cap, cover or guard for holding the top rollers so
arranged as to prevent the top rollers being too easily lifted out of their working
position and in hingeing them in sections to a bar so that each section can be
turned up for cleaning and other purposes.
Hitherto these covers have not been used to keep the rollers in their working
position but to cover the top roller and guide the sliver in piecing up. These could
be easily removed and the top rollers lifted out of the cap bar or bearing which kept
them in working position.
In this our invention we dispense with that part of the cap bar that held
the top rollers in position and arrange the covers or guards themselves to
support the top rollers. We form part of the cover next the back plate so that
it supports the top rollers and also keeps the surface of the rollers clean the end of
the guards preventing the rollers from moving end ways. A projection on the
hinge bracket opposite each top roller prevents the rollers being taken out of their
position without detaching the covers from the hinge bracket.
Each hinge bracket holds one section of top rollers usually consisting of 3 or 4 top

page_text: rollers. When the bracket is turned up for cleaning or other purposes it carries
the top rollers with it. Such being the object of our invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being made to the accompanying
drawings:-
Fig. 1 is an end view; Fig.12 a front view, Fig. 3a plan view of one section of
guards with the toptrollers shewn in working position on the bottom roller.
A Figs. 1 and 3 is the bottom fluted roller, B are the top rollers, C the guards or
covers secured by the set screw M.to.the hinge-bracket D, E is the guide rail, F is
the support secured to the back plate P for the centre G on which the hinge
bracket Dturns, Jis the projection on the hinge bracket D that comes in contact
with and carries the top rollers up with the bracket when it is turned up for
cleaning the top rollers being held between the projection J and thelbearing it of
the cover or guard. The top rollers bearing.againstcare-kept clean by contact with
the part K of the cover or guard: A space is left between each cover-origuardito.
enable the sliver to pass under the top roller the front of the hinge bracket being
inclined as shown at N to assist in guiding the sliver under the end of the top
roller...
