page_text: JOSEPH Cook Cloth Agent 58 The Park Eccles N Manchester I do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN SELF ACTING TEMPLES FOR
WEAVING 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 the construction of that class of Self acting Temples
used in Looms for Weaving consisting of Small Iron rollers covered with India
rubber or any other Elastic Material, being Ribbed fluted or notched or Toothed,
and doing away with the rollers formed with pins or Spurs as at present used in
the Weaving of Silk Linen Cotton Cloths of any description.
The object of the invention is to prevent the injury to the surface of the Cloth, 1
which is now frequently caused by the pins or spurs pressing into the Cloth, to the
very great detriment of the Cloth now being-made by the use of the rollers now
in use.
In the Drawing annexed to this specification Fig 1 is a Self acting Temple
formed of two Iron rollers covered with India rubber ribbed and in the Form of a
Screw as c. c. running in Trough a. a and Fig 2 is an under view of cover b. b with
one Iron roller covered with India rubber ribbed in the Form of a Screw as d.
which works in the centre of the two rollers in Fig 1 and when fit complete as in
Fig 3 being the top side view b. b. being the cover c. c the two rollers as in Fig 1
and d. being the roller as in Fig 2 working as in Transverce section through A. B.
shown in Fig 4, a. being the bottom Trough with two rollers c. c. the top cover b.
with one roller d.
Fig 5 is a plan of Trough of two roller Temple. e. e is the bottom trough, g. g.
are two Iron rollers covered with India rubber Notched or Toothed, working in
trough e. e. Fig 6, is Temple complete with cover f. showing the two rollers g. g
as in Fig 5, Fig 7 is a Transverce section of Fig 6 showing the working of the
Temple when complete, e. being the bottom trough, f being the top cover g. g. being
the two rollers.
Fig 8 is plain of Trough for one roller h, h is the trough k is the Iron roller
covered with India rubber Ribbed.
.
Fig 10 is Temple complete, l. is a small Iron roller ribbed or Fluted working on
the top of cover I. this roller works in the Grove of the India rubber roller k as
shown in Fig 8.
Fig 9 is a Transverce Section of Fig 10 showing how the Temple works, h being
the bottom trough I, being the cover, k being the roller as shown in Fig 8, 7 being
the ribbed or Fluted Iron roller as shown in F 10, working in the Grove of the
India rubber roller ribbed k.
Fig 11 Is a Trough Temple, m. m. is the trough n. n. is the Iron roller covered
with India rubber at each end of the roller ribbed or Fluted, Fig 13 is a plan of
Trough with roller n. n. removed showing a small Iron roller ribbed or Fluted
o. o. fit into the bottom of the Trough at each end, revolving and working in the
Grove of the roller as shown in Fig 11, lettered n. n.
Fig 12 is a Transverce Section of the Trough Temple roller complete when
working, m. is the Trough, n. is the roller covered with India rubber ribbed or
Fluted at each end, o. is the Iron roller ribbed or Fluted working in the Grove of
letter n. both rollers revolving as the Cloth passes between them.
I do not limit myself to any particular number of rollers that can be used this
will depend on the quality of Cloth worked by the Temple, or to the particular
Form of ribs on the rollers, the same will be carried out by the ribs of the India

page_text: rubber roller, or the ribs in the cast Iron roller working in the Grove of the India
rubber roller, these ribs will be made, also by the ribs running lengthway on both
the India rubber and the Iron rollers answering the same end, instead of the ribs
encircling the rollers as shewn in the annexed Drawings.
Having now particularly described and acertained 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 of the Iron roller covered with India rubber, or any other
Elastic material ribbed or fluted in the Form of a Screw, or the rollers covered with
India rubber ribbed Notched or Toothed these appliances doing away with the
rollers with pins or spurs now in use, and thereby preserving the Cloth from
damages often made in the Cloth in the using the rollers now in use.
2nd The application of an Iron roller covered with India rubber ribbed, and a
small cast Iron roller ribbed, working in the Grove of the India rubber roller ribbed,
thereby keeping the Cloth which runs between the rollers out to its full width
when weaving, which is a great advantage in the manufacture of Cloth of any
description.
