PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stands or Holders and Transit Frames Used for
Holding Pieces of Plush, Velvet, or other Cloth in an Extended
State.
We, SAMUEL CUNLIFFE LISTER, Manufacturer, and José REIXACH, Manager,
both of Manningham Mills, Bradford, in the County of York, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :-
We form a piece frame holder of a frame or upright stand for holding transit
frames for plushes, seals, velvets, astrachans or other cloths, having through the top
of each of the upright arms, screws for supporting the transit frame, which screws
also act as sockets or pivots as preferred upon which the said transit frame revolves
during the process of hooking or unhooking the plushes, seals, velvets, astrachans or
other cloths.
The tension screw is at one end of the transit frame for tightening the cloth when
in position, and we form the head of the said tension screw into a socket or pivot for
working in combination with the socket or pivot of the carrying or supporting screw
in the top of the upright arms, as the case may be.

Holding Pieces of Plush, Velvet, or other Cloth in an Extended
State.
We, SAMUEL CUNLIFFE LISTER, Manufacturer, and JOSÉ REIXACH, Manager,
both of Manningham Mills, Bradford, in the County of York, 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:-
We form a stand for holding transit frames for plushes, seals, astrachans or other
cloths having through the top of each of its two upright arms screws for supporting
the transit frame which screws also act as sockets or pivots as preferred, upon which
the said transit frame revolves during the process of hooking or unhooking the said
cloths.
The head of the tension screw which is at one end of the transit frame for tightening
the cloth when in position we form into a socket for the end of one of the carrying
or supporting screws to enter or form it into a pivot to be received in a socket formed
in the end of the screw.
In the drawings hereunto annexed we have shown both of these ways.
Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the transit frame in position in its stand.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a side elevation on a larger scale of part of one end of the transit frame
and of the upper part of one of the uprights of the stand.
Figures 4 and 5 show the ways in which we use the supporting screw and the head
of the tension screw to form an axis and bearing for the frame to turn upon.
A is the framework of the stand-it-is formed as shown of hollow: tubes secured
one to the other by their being all screwed into sockets in socket pieces A-B, B¹
are the supporting screws screwing horizontally through the top of the upright arms
of the stand-C is the longitudinal board or stem of the transit frame-the frame is
formed as heretofore with one end piece C¹ fixed to one end of the board C and with
the other end piece capable of being slidden to and fro along the opposite end of the
board D is the tension screw by which the moveable end piece can he drawn away
from the fixed end piece. Its head is shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 to be formed
into a socket for the end of the supporting screw B-to enter whilst in Figure 5 it
is shown to be formed into a pivot to enter a corresponding socket formed in the end
of this supporting screw.
The opposite end of the transit frame is supported by the end of the screw B'
entering a socket in the end of the longitudinal board or stem of the frame.

page_text: 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 :-
1. The combination of the transit frame supported at its ends on the ends of screws
screwed through the top of supporting uprights of a light portable stand and
forming axes upon which the frame can be revolved--the end of one screw forming
a socket or pivot for the head of the tension screw of the frame to turn on substantially
as described.
2. The transit frame and stand constructed substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
