PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Metal Roller employed in Spinning
and Twisting Yarns, and in the Means of Covering such Rollers
with Leather or other Material.
We, HENRY HAWORTH, of Goal Lane, Halifax Yorkshire, Roller Coverer, and
JOSEPH PICKLES BINNS, of 26 Cromwell Terrace, Halifax. aforesaid Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
Hitherto the leather for covering metal rollors has been fastened to such rollers by
stitching with leather laces or other suitable material, but in practice it is found that
when such leather covered rollers have been in work some time, that the continuous
rotary motion thereof has caused the leather to expand and form irregular surfaces on
the periphery, consequently faulty yarn has been made, in addition to which the
irregular surfaces on the rollers is unpleasant to the eye.
Our invention consists in constructing metal rollers so that the leather covering
may be attached by nails passing through or in the sides of the rollers in the same
manner as is the case with wood rollers.
In carrying out our Invention we form the metal rollers at the sides with holes or
hollow places, into which we insert wood or other suitable material for the reception
of the nails wbich are used to hold the leather in its place.
By this means metal rollers can be easily covered with leather, which may be fixed
either hard or soft according to the yarn under operation.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Metal Roller employed in Spinning
and Twisting Yarns, and in the Means of Covering such Rollers
with Leather or other Material.
We, HENRY HAWORTH, of Gaol Lane, Halifax, Yorkshire, Roller Coverer, and
JOSEPH PICKLES BINNS, of 26 Cromwell Terrace, Halifax aforesaid, Engineer, 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:-
Hitherto the leather for covering metal rollers has been fastened to such rollers
by stitching with cords, leather laces, or other suitable material, but in practice it
is found that when such leather covered rollers have been in work some time, the
continuous rotary motion thereof has caused the leather to expand and form irregular
surfaces on the periphery, consequently faulty yarn has been made; in addition to
which the irregular surface on the rollers is unpleasant to the eye.
Our invention consists in constructing metal rollers so that the leather covering
may be attached by nails passing through or in the sides of the rollers in the
same manner as is the case with wood rollers.
In carrying out our invention we form the metal rollers at the sides with holes or
hollow places, into which we insert wood or other suitable material for the reception
of the nails which are used to hold the leather in its place.
Such being the nature and object of our invention, we will now proceed to describe
the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the accompanying sheets
of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein Fig. 1 is a side view of a metal rim or
flange A, having a series of holes formed therein, which are filled with wood or other
[Price 6di

page_text: suitable material B. The leather C (see Fig. 2) to cover the outer edge of such metal
rollers is made secure on both sides of the flange or rim by nails D, driven through
the leather or into the wood. This method of covering metal rollers with leather can
be much more quickly performed than the old method of stitching with cord or laces,
and the leather can be fixed either hard or soft, according to the yarn under
operation. The rim or flange A may be a solid metal disc, but in some cases it may
be formed like a ring or washer and the central part filled with wood as shewn at E
provided with a metal arbour or stud F upon which the roller revolves on its
bearings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
The use of metal rollers, rings, or discs, having wood or other suitable material in
the sides thereof for the reception of nails or other like devices for securing leather or
other material to the periphery of such rollers, rings, or discs.
