PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Temples for Looms.
We WILLIAM SIMPSON, of 214 Bury New Road, Manchester Weaving
Manager and THE DUPLEX WEAVING APPLIANCE COMPANY LIMITED of
17 Lever Street, Manchester, Machine Makers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
Our said invention relates to improvements in the temples for looms such as
described in the Specifications of William Simpson's Patents No. 14614 of
A.D. 1891 and No. 6917 of A.D. 1893.
According to our present invention the lower movable jaw no longer acts as a
clamp gripping the cloth against the fixed jaw. We cause the movable jaw to
project slightly.beyond the temple casing and arm it with teeth which penetrate
through the cloth and keep it stretched except momentarily when the reed is in its
most forward position when the action of the slay releases the teeth while the
take up motion of the loom draws the cloth forward.
The movable jaw is in some cases capable of lateral adjustment in the temple
casing to suit various widths of cloth.
The movable jaw may be over or under the cloth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Temples for Looms.
We WILLIAM SIMPSON of 214 Bury New Road, Manchester Weaving
Manager and THE DUPLEX WEAVING APPLIANCE COMPANY LIMITED of
17 Lever Street, Manchester, Machine Makers, 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 :-
Our said invention relates to improvements in the temples of looms such as
described in the Specifications of Simpson's Patents No. 14614 of A.D. 1891 and
No. 6917 of A.D. 1893.
According to our present invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawing
the lower movable jawe (instead of acting as a clamp to grip the cloth against the
opposite fixed jaw of the temple casing as in the above cited previous Patents)
projects beyond the temple casing at e and is armed with teeth or pins e3 which
penetrate through the cloth and keep it stretched except momentarily when the
reed is in its most forward position when the jaw e descends and withdraws the
teeth e from the cloth so that it may be drawn forward by the taking up mechanism
of the looni.
The means for operating the lower jaw on the beat up of the slay are fully
described in the hereinbefore cited two Patents.

page_text: The movable jaw may also be arranged over the roller temple so as to descend
through the cloth on the retreat of the slay. To enable this modification to be
carried out it is necessary for the centre of oscillation g of the bell crank lever
which forms the lower jaw to be placed above the temple and for the vertical arm e
to project upward so as to receive the impact of the slay as will be well understood
without further description.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed. we declare that what we
claim is―
The combination with a roller temple of an arm projecting in front of the temple
provided with teeth or pins which penetrate the cloth except at the moment of the
beat up of the slay substantially as set forth.
Dated this 28th day of October 1895.
