Improvements in Metallic Ends for Wood Rollers of Wringing and
Mangling Machines.
We, JOHN WHITTAKER, HENRY WHITTAKER, and WILLIAM WHITTAKER, Wringing
and Washing Machine Makers, all of Pioneer Works, Accrington in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the metal shields commonly constructed of brass and
applied to the ends of wooden rollers for purpose of preventing cracking of the same
and to exclude water or moisture therefrom.
According to this our said invention we construct such shields or ends of malle-
able iron, in the form of a disc and distributed over the inner face of which, are a
series of projecting pointed pins or spikes which when driven into the end of the
roller serve not only to secure the disc in position but keep the wood together and
prevent the roller cracking. The disc may have a projecting flange so as to
embrace and enclose the end of the roller which for the receipt of the flangod part
of the disc is turned down to a shoulder.

Improvements in Metallic Ends for Wood Rollers of Wringing and
Mangling Machines.
We JOHN WHITTAKER, HENRY WHITTAKER, and WILLIAM WHITTAKER, Wringing
and Washing Machine Makers, all of Pioneer Works, Accrington in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner tho
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to the metal shields, commonly constructed of brass and
applied to the ends of wooden rollers for purpose of preventing cracking of the
same and to exclude water or moisture therefrom.
According to this our said invention we construct such shields or ends of malleable
iron, in the form of a disc and distributed over the inner face of which, are a series
of projecting pointed pins, or spikes which when driven into the end of the roller
serve not only to secure the disc in position but keep the wood together, and prevent
the roller cracking. The disc may have a projecting flange so as to embrace and
enclose the end of the roller which for the receipt of the flanged part of the disc is
turned down to a shoulder. Such being the nature and object of our said invention,
the following is a complete description of same, reference being had to the
accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is an oblique inside view of one of our improved shields, or
wood rollers.
"ends" for
Fig. 2 is a front view of a part of a wood roller, having one of our improved
shields, or "ends" fixed thereon.
Fig. 3 is an inside view of one of the improved shields or "ends" having formed
thereon a flange for enclosing the end of the wood roller.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of flanged shield, or "end" in position on the wood
roller.
According to this our said invention we construct the shields or "ends" 1 of
malleable iron in the form of a disc, or of similar outline to the end of the wooden

page_text: roller 2 which is to be protected, and distributed over the inner face of said disc, or
plate 1 are a series of projected pointed pins, or spikes 3 which when driven into the
end of the wooden roller 2 (see Fig. 2) serve not only to keep the disc or plate 1
in position, but also keep the wood together, and prevent cracking and warping of
the roller by excluding all water from entering the pores of the wood.
The disc 1 may have a projecting flange 4 (see Figs. 3 and 4) so as to embrace
and enclose the end of the roller 2 the latter being turned down to a shoulder as at
for the receipt of the flange 4 which is thus flush with the remainder of the roller 2:
A hole 7 is formed through the centre of the disc or plate 1 through which the core
shaft S of the roller passes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of
our said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare
that what we claim is:
:-
1 The improved shield, or end discs having the pointed pins, or spikes or pro-
jections as described, and illustrated by annexed drawings, and for purpose herein
fully set forth.
