page_text: WILLIAM THOMAS ROUNSIVELL, Mechanical Engineer, 25, Kitto Road, Nun-
head, London, S.E., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of 2 cast iron brackets with feet formed to bolt up to
joists or to stand on floor. The vertical sides of these brackets have each a
long slot cast in them. At the bottom of brackets is a projecting lug one on
each. Between these brackets is fitted a cast iron bridge piece also with a slot
running from about % of an inch from each end. This bridge piece is fastened
between the above mentioned brackets by means of two bolts one at each end
passing through the beforementioned slots. Two sets screws are tapped into
lugs cast on the brackets for the purpose of raising bridge piece up or down.
Upon this bridge piece rests the plummer block.

WILLIAM THOMAS ROUNSIVELL, Mechanical Engineer, 25, Kitto Road, Nun-
head, London, S.E., 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:-
The object of my invention is to provide an adjustable arrangement for carry-
ing bearings supporting shafting and forming a ready means of altering the
height of shaft and also its alignment, also dispensing with the wood packing
pieces so commonly used. The invention consists of two cast iron brackets A¹, A³,
Figures 1, 2, 3. Between these brackets is a seperate cast iron bridge piece B
held in position by means of two bolts C1, C2, one at either end. The brackets
A¹, A2, are slotted to receive these bolts and also to allow for the
raising up and down of the bridge piece B. At the bottom of the
brackets A1, A2, are provided two lugs D1, D2, fitted with set screws
and lock nuts G1, G2, passing through and up to the bridge piece B on which
it rests. This effects the vertical adjustment. The bridge piece B is slotted
as shewn at E to allow for horizontal adjustment of the plummer block when
fixed upon it. The bottom sides of ends of bridge piece B are made radiating
from the centre of bolt hole as shewn at F. This provides for longitudinal

page_text: alignment. The same arrangement of brackets and bridge piece I also apply
for carrying shafting on floor as shewn in Figure 4. The same arrangement of
brackets and bridge piece I also apply for carrying shafting on wall as shewn in
Figure 5. I also apply the same or similar arrangement of parts consisting of
the bridge piece resting on screws and bolted between slotted sides and con-
structed in combination with J hangers, wall boxes, end brackets, wall brackets,
sole plates, and any other form of bracket for carrying shafting such as may be
required in actual practice.
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:-
1. The application and combination of parts as herein and before described
and illustrated.
2. The application of the bridge piece held in position by bolts or screws
and resting on set screws or other suitable form of screws in combination with,
pedestals, J hangers, wall boxes, end brackets, wall brackets, sole plates or
the like.
3. The application of the same adjustable bridge piece, bolts and set screws
in combination with any other suitable form of bracket or brackets as may be
found necessary in actual practice.
