PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Bearings for Removable Spindles.
I BENJAMIN ROBERT BOND Draper of 21 Junction Road Upper Holloway
London, N. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This machine is provided with a wheel, hall, or roller, rotating in a socket.
What I shall call the wheel A. Fig. 1. has an opening from the top to as far past
the centre as half the diameter of the spindles widest side, so that the adjustable
flat spindle can be placed sideways into the wheel, the opening is shaped as Fig. 1.
to allow the flat spindle to fall into a slot as it is rotated right or left, spring B. Fig. 2
or pin C. Fig. 3. can keep the spindle in position in the centre of the wheel. The
socket E has an opening at the top wide enough to allow the flat spindle to pass
into the wheel.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION..
Improved Bearings for Removable Spindles.
BENJAMIN ROBERT BOND, Drapor, of 21 Junction Road, Uppor Holloway,
London, N., do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:
Whereas I have lately obtained Letters Patent Nos. 5,60588 and 14,86888, for certain
improvements in measuring and otherwise manipulating cloth, carpet and analogous
material, and in apparatus relating thereto; and my present invention relates to
improved methods of mounting the spindles upon which the cloth or other material is
intended to be wound.
The axle consists of a bar of metal, or other suitable material. The ends of the
axle are supported by revolving plates, which work in bearings formed in stationary
plates fixed to the framing of the apparatus.
The revolving plates may be made in two parts and bolted together, so as to revolve
in a circular opening in the stationary plate, or the revolving plate may be a single
plate, revolving in a groove formed in the stationary plate.
And in order that iny said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Figs. 1 to 7 show the method of mounting the axle in revolving plates, formed in
two parts, and bolted together so as to enclose a portion of the stationary plate in an
annular groove.
Figs. 8 and 9 show the method of mounting the axle in single plates, revolving in
annular grooves formed in the stationary plates.
a is one
Referring to the Figs. 1 to 7, b is a single plate, formed as shown in Fig. 1, 6 being
the central opening and 61 an opening leading to 6. This stationary plate 6 is screwed
to a portion of the framing d of the apparatus, as shewn in plan in Fig. 2.
of the revolving supports for the axle, consisting of two discs bolted together, as
shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

page_text: The form of these plates is also shown in Figs. 3 and 4. the portions a' cut away
permitting the insertion and withdrawal of the axle into and from the cross-bearing
recess, when in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
Agap is made in the frame'd to allow the axle e to revolve freely-Fig. 5 shows
the revolving plate in another position.
Fig. 6 shows another method of securing the axle c in the revolving plate a.
A slot a' in the plate a receives the axle, and the spring catch e secures the same
when inserted.
Fig. 7. shows a method of securing the axle c, in the revolving plate a, by means
of a pin or screw f.
Referring to Figs. 8 and 9, is the stationary plate, secured to the frame d.. This
plate is formed in two parts-The back plate has a circular recess (shown by dotted
lines) in which the plate a with the axle revolve together-The plate a is secured in
its bearing by the front plate &*.
The grooves, & the relative fittings thereto, may be rectangular (as shown) or semi-
circular, V shaped' or otherwise.
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 improved method of mounting winding axles in bearings, each bearing con-
sisting of a plate & secured to the frame or forming part thereof, such plate having a
slot a circular seat 2, in which is fitted a disc a, revolving in the circular seat b²,
the disc a being formed with a slot a¹ and cross bearing recess for receiving and
sustaining the spindle or axle a, and rendering the same readily detachable, sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated by Figs. 1. 2. 3. 4 and 5, of the
drawings.
2. In combination with improved bearings for adjustable spindles as aforesaid, the
modification of the disc a, formed with a long slot a', in which the spindle c is secured
and rendered detachable by means of the spring catch e, or by the movable pin
substantially as herein before described and illustrated by Figs. 6 and 7 of the
drawings.
3. The modification in the construction of bearings for the purposes aforesaid
substantially as herein before described and illustrated by Figs. 8 and 9 of the
drawings.
4. The general construction, combination and arrangement of the several and
respective parts, together forming my invention of improved bearings for adjustable
spindles, substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
