I, ALFRED STEEL of 107 Blackburn Road, Brightside, Sheffield in the County of
York, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN ROLLERS AND PULLIES to be as follows:-
"
"
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of rollers and pullies
whereby lightness, trueness, and durability combined with cheapness is gained.
In making I cast the two ends of the proposed roller or pulley with a flange running
round the inside of each, which flanges are grooved to receive a rolled plate of a
required thickness and strength.
The plate is bent and fitted into the grooves of the two ends and a spindle or axle
passed through holes in the centre thereof, and firmly secured by means of nuts or
their equivalents which holds the plate firmly in position and forms a complete roller
or pulley.
This invention is particularly annlicable for colliery nurnoses.

ALFRED STEEL of 107 Meadow Hall Road Brightside Sheffield in the County of
York Commercial Traveller 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 improvements in the manufacture of rollers and pullies
whereby lightness, trueness, and durability combined with strength and cheapness are
gained.
In making I cast the two ends of the improved roller or pulley with a flange
running round the inside of each and lettered A in Fig. 1 of accompanying drawings.
The said flanges are grooved to receive a rolled steel sheet of required thickness and
strength which is bent and fitted into the grooves of the two ends of the roller, the
ends of the said steel sheet meeting and forming a complete roller or pulley. A steel
spindle or axle is then passed through the centre thereof and secured by means of nuts
or their equivalents which holds the plate firmly in position.
This invention is particularly applicable for colliery purposes.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Fig. 1, is a side view in elevation, A are the flanges on the ends B, which are
grooved to receive the steel sheet C, and D is the spindle or axle passed through the
centres of the ends B, and screwed, and holding the sheet firmly in position.
Fig. 2, is a front view in elevation.
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 :-
―
Firstly Improvements in the manufacture of a roller or pulley by casting two
ends, each having a grooved flange into which is fitted a steel sheet and a spindle,
which passes through the centre of the ends and is either screwed or shrunk which
holds the sheet tightly and securely in position and forms a complete roller.
Secondly. Improvements in a roller or pulley in which strength and durability
combined with lightness and cheapness of productiou is gained.
