PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Milling and Fulling
Cloth and, the like Fabrics.
I, ISAAC MIDGLEY INESON, of 33 Mann's Buildings, Howden Clough, Birstall,
near Leeds, Cloth Fuller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My invention relates to certain improvements in machinery or apparatus for
milling and fulling cloth and the like fabrics, and my said invention has reference
to what is known in the art as the "turn."
According to my invention the "turn" consists of a board (having projections or
steps) hinged or centred on a shaft passing through the. machine. At the outside
of the machine is a lever keyed on the end of the said shaft, and provided with a
movable weight. A weight may also be applied directly to the said "turn," either
in combination with, or without the weight and lever aforesaid. Steps may also
be provided on the bottom of the "turn" formed by the machine bottom or
frame.

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Milling and Fulling
Cloth and the like Fabrics.
I, ISAAC MIDGLEY INESON, of 33 Mann's Buildings, Howden Clough, Birstall,
near Leeds, Cloth Fuller, 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 :-
My invention relates to certain improvements in machinery or apparatus for
milling and fulling cloth and the like fabrics, and my said invention has reference
to what is known in the art as the "turn ; and is particularly applicable to the
construction of milling and fulling machines referred to in the Specification of
Patent No. 3310 of 1891.

page_text: Fig. 2, is a sectional elevation of such machine.
Fig. 3, is an end elevation.
Fig. 4, is a view showing board A. stepped.
"
Fig. 5, is a view showing lower part of "turn" stepped, in lieu of board R.
According to my invention the "turn consists of a board A (having
projections or steps, or a plain board may be used) hinged or centred by means of
slotted bars or arms B on a shaft C which passes through the machine D, the said
slotted bars or arms are secured on the shaft C by means of set-screws E, or they
may be keyed, or otherwise secured thereon. Secured upon the said board A are
screws F, which pass through the slots G of the said bars B, and receive plain or
winged-nuts H.. By this means the said board A can be raised or lowered by
adjusting it in the said slots so as to catch the cloth as it comes from under the
stock feet and retard its progress.
At the outside of the machine D is a lever J'keyed or secured by set-screws K
upon the said shaft C, the pressure of the board A upon the cloth is regulated by
means of this lever, on which is attached a movable weight L suspended by cord or
rod M from the link N which is adapted to slide on the said lever J and be fixed at
the required position by set-screw O
P is a fixed board or partition held in position by strong stays. A weight may
also be applied directly to the said turn, either in combination with or without the
weight and lever aforesaid. Steps may also be provided on the bottom of the
"turn" formed by the machine bottom or frame, or an inclined board 'R may be
used in lieu thereof.
S and T are the milling rollers carried in bearings upon the machine as ordinary.
Rotary motion is imparted to the said rollers through pulleys and spur gearing.
U is the mouthpiece and V the conducting spout which are all as ordinary.
I wish it to be understood that I lay no claim to anything described and claimed
in the above mentioned Specification of Benjamin Preston No. 3310 of 1891.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
-
1. In milling and fulling machinery for cloth and the like fabrics, the
combination with a hinged board or flap A upon a shaft C of a weighted
lever J keyed or otherwise secured upon the said shaft C, substantially as set-
forth.
2. In milling and fulling machinery for cloth and the like fabrics, the
combination of a board or flap A carried by and capable of adjustment in slotted
bars B and a weighted lever J, substantially as set-forth.
3. In milling and fulling machinery for cloth and the like fabrics, the
combination with a hinged board or flap A of a board or partition P, substantially
as set-forth.
4. In milling and fulling machinery, the combination with a hinged board or
flap A of a board or partition P, and a weighted lever J centred upon the same
axis as the said hinged board or flap A, substantially as set-forth.
