I THOMAS REEDER of 104 Byron Street, Preston in the County of Lancaster,
Tin-plate worker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE IMPROVE.
MENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION, AND FITTING OF FLANGES FOR LOOMS, BEAM WARPING
MILLS, AND OTHER MACHINES to be as follows:-
In my invention I have a metal boss, or socket in two. or more segments, or
circular boss or socket with one or more slots, and by drawing them together with
bolts, screws, rivets, clipps, or other suitable fixings, I fasten them to the yarn
beam or roller, then I make a circular metal (or other suitable material) plate the
required size and fasten it to the boss, or socket with bolts, screws, or any other
suitable fixings. When required I mako a metal friction pulley, boss, or socket in
two or more segments, or in one piece with a slot across the body, and one end, and
a hole in the centre to fit on the shaft, or pivit, the other end of the pulley, boss,
or socket to fit on the body of the yarn beam, or roller, then I fasten it to the said
yarn beam, or roller with screws, bolts, rivets clipps, or any suitable fixings.

I, THOMAS REEDER of 10+ Byron Street, Preston, in the County of Lancaster
Tin Plate Worker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE CON-
STRUCTION AND FITTING OF FLANGES FOR LOOMS, BEAM WARPING MILLS, &C. and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
In my invention I have a metal boss, or socket in two or more segments, or
circular boss, or socket with one or more slots, and by drawing them together with

page_text: bolts, screws, clips, or other suitable fixings, I fasten them to the yarn beam, or
roller. Then I make a circular metal or other suitable plate the required size
with the outer edges lapped on, over, or round a square metal ring, or any other
shape, or substance.
Or I bend the outer edges of the plate to an angle round, half round, or any
other shape without the metal ring, to make the plate strong at the outer edge.
Or I make a plate of any description the required shape and fasten to the boss or
socket with bolts, rivets, screws, or any other suitable fixings. When required
I make a metal friction pulley, boss, or socket in two or more segments, or in one
piece, with a slot across the body and one end, and a hole in the centre to fit on the
shaft, or pivet. The other end of the pulley, boss, or socket to fit on the body of
the yarn beam or roller then I fasten it to the said yarn beam, or roller with
screws, bolts rivets clips, or any suitable fixings.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood, I have hereto
attached a sheet of drawings. Fig. 1 represents a circular metal plate with the
outer edge lapped on, over, or round a metal ring as shown at A, A, and the circular
plate fixed to the metal boss, or socket as Fig. 2 and fastened to the yarn beam, or
roller C, as shown in Figures 1, 3, & 5. Fig. 3 represent a circular metal plate
with the outer edge bent to a circle, half circle, or angle without the metal ring as
shown at B, B, and fixed to the boss, or socket as Fig. 4, and then to the yarn
beam, or roller as figures 1, 3, and 5. Fig. 5 shows a circular metal plate with
holes or slots same as Fig. 6, and fastened to the boss and yarn beam as figures 1, 3,
and 5. Fig. 7 and 8 side and front view of metal boss, or socket before fixed to
the circular plate or yarn beam.
Having stated the nature of my invention, and described the same, I would have
it understood that I do not limit myself to the details described and delineated as
they may be varied and modified, and what I claim is
1st. Making of warpers and weavers beam flenges in two or more pieces.
2nd The way they are made and fastened together.
3rd The way they are fixed on the yarn beam, or roller.
