Improvements in Electric Stop Motion Drawing Frames for Fibrous
Materials.
We EDMUND TWEEDALE SAMUEL TWEEDALE and JOSEPH SMALLEY of
Globe Works, Castleton, near Manchester in the County of Lancaster, 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 :—
This invention comprises a new and improved construction and arrangement of
parts for supporting the callender rollers, the fluted rollers, the back plate (which
carries the top clearer and cap bar) the electric roller and guide rail the object
being to ensure steadiness in the working and provide for the simultaneous
adjustment of the back plate, electric rollers and guide rail, or for simultaneous
adjustment of the back plate and electric rollers.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawing in
which:-
Fig. 1 is a sectional end elevation illustrating our improvements in electric stop
motion drawing frames.
According to our invention we construct the support 1 for the callender
rollers 2, 2 in such a manner as to provide for carrying the fluted rollers 3. 3. 31 31
and sliding bracket 4 (on which are carried the back plates 5 and the guide rail 6)
and the insulated callender roller 2ª, or the arm 9 and guide rail 6 may be carried
by the support 1 at or about the point 91.
The sliding bracket 4 supports the bottom electric roller 8 and has two arms or
projections 9. 10 one of which arms 9 supports the guide rail 6 the other arm 10
supporting the back plate 5 which carries the top clearer 11 and cap bars 12 for
the electric top rollers 13. The said back plate 5 is insulated at 14 from the
sliding bracket 4 and on moving the sliding bracket 4 the latter carries the top
clearers 11 cap bars 12, electric rollers 8. 13 and guide rail 6, and all the parts are
moved simultaneously and without disturbance of their relative positions, it only
being necessary to unloosen the nut 15 and move the sliding bracket 4 to the
required position and then to fix it there by tightening the puts 15.
The bearing 171 for the drawing rollers 3' 3' is mounted on the support 1
for the callender rollers 2. 2" so as to be readily replaced if requisite. The
bearings 17 and rollers 3 are of the usual construction.
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 :-
1. The general construction, arrangement and combination of parts constituting
the improvements in electric stop motion drawing frames as herein described and
illustrated by the drawings annexed.
2. In electric stop motion drawing frames for purpose aforesaid the support 1
constructed as illustrated and having adjustable sliding bracket 4, arm 9 carrying
the guide rail 6 and back plate 5 top clearer 11 cap bar 12 rollers 8. 13 whereby all
said parts are capable of simultaneous adjustment and preserving their relative
positions.
3. The combination claimed under Claim 2 less parts 6 and 9.
4. In frames for purpose aforesaid the support 1 constructed as illustrated and
having detachable stand 171 for the drawing rollers 31 31 and carrying the

page_text: callender roller 2 and insulated callender roller 2ª all in combination and as
described.
