Improvements in "Segment" Temples employed in Weaving Looms.
I, JOSEPH WILLIAM PEACOCK, of the Grove, Greengates, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
This invention relates to improvements in segment or barrel temples of weaving
looms, and its object is to reduce their liability to damage the fabric woven in the
loom.
For this purpose I use one or more india rubber rings or india rubber covered
rings
on the inner end of the temple instead of the usual pinned or metal rings.
I prefer to employ annular india rubber bands or rings stretched round the
periphery of metal rings which may be made with grooves to receive the bands and
be mounted in a similar way to the ordinary pinned rings. The india rubber
bands may be cemented in position.

Improvements in "Segment" Temples employed in Weaving Looms.
I, JOSEPH WILLIAM PEACOCK, of the Grove, Greengates, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to improvements in segment or barrel temples, such as are
employed on looms for weaving woollen, cotton and other fabrics, and its object
is to reduce their liability to damage the fabric woven in the loom.
For this purpose I use one or more india rubber rings or india rubber covered
rings on the inner end of the temple instead of the usual pinned or metal rings.
I prefer to employ annular india rubber bands or rings stretched round the
periphery of metal rings which may be made with grooves to receive the bands
and be mounted in a similar way to the ordinary pinned rings. The india rubber
bands may be cemented in position.
In the drawings hereunto annexed:
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 an elevation of a temple constructed
according to this invention.

A is the barrel or segment supporting pin hereafter termed the pin A, provided
with the usual flattened surfaces a a, and armed with a nut a¹. On the end of the
pin A which forms the inner end of the temple is fixed the angular block B,
between which and the block C are mounted the flanged bosses or segments D
upon which the pinned and other metal rings E and F are mounted.
All the above named parts may be of the usual and ordinary construction and
they may be mounted in fixings or carriers provided with hinged covers as is usually
done. The fixings, or carriers, and hinged covers are not shown in the drawings.
Instead of providing each flanged boss or segment D with pinned metal rings E
(that is, with pins e projecting from their peripheries) extending the full length
of the temple as is usually done, the periphery or peripheries of one or more of
the metal rings F at the inner end of the temple is or are covered with an india
rubber band or bands or ring or rings G. Or one or more ring or rings of india
rubber may take the place of the combined metal and rubber rings shown in the
drawings and be mounted so as to rotate upon the bosses D in a similar manner to
the pinned rings E.
In the drawings a temple formed with thirteen segment rings is shown, the five
rings E nearest to the block C at the outer end of the temple are armed with pins e
on their peripheries, whilst the remaining eight metal rings F have india rubber
rings G mounted upon their peripheries. I would however have it clearly under-
stood that I do not limit myself to either the number or proportion of pinned metal
rings E or rubber covered metal rings F thus shown or described as the number
and proportion of such rings may be varied as circumstances require.
The india rubber rings G may be fixed in the grooves of the metal rings F by
any suitable and convenient means, such as, say, for example, by cement.
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. The improvement in segment or barrel temples employed on looms for weaving
purposes, which improvement consists in combining with the pinned metal rings,
flanged segment bosses, and other parts of the temple, one or more india rubber
rings, or metal rings covered with india rubber, all arranged substantially as
described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
2. In segment or barrel temples such as herein described and illustrated, the
india rubber ring or rings or metal ring or rings such as F having an india rubber
ring or rings, such as G, fixed to its or their periphery or peripheries, as and for
the purposes set forth.
