PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Wire Frames of Paper
Making Machines.
We JOHN BROAD JACKSON and GEORGE BENTLEY both of Lodge Bank
Works Bury in the County of Lancaster Engineers and SAMUEL SMITH of
25 Parker Street Bury aforesaid, Pattern Maker do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to so mount the wire frames of paper making
machines that they are worked or vibrated with greater ease and less friction than
hitherto.
According to this invention the frame is mounted by bearings upon links or
hangers which are themselves mounted upon bearings in the standards or supports
of the machine. The bearings in each case are preferably V pieces rocking upon
suitable bed pieces the said V pieces and bed pieces being preferably of steel and
arranged so that they can be removed for repair or renewal but bearings of circular
or other form may be employed if desired. The bearings are preferably enclosed
or boxed-in by parts attached to or forming part of the frame or otherwise so as to
protect the bearings from water or other matter. A convenient arrangement of the
invention is to make the links or hangers each in the form of a loop with a V bearing
at top resting on a bearing piece on the top of the support of the frame, each said
loop having a bearing piece on its lower member on which bearing piece rests a
V piece carried by the vibrating wire frame. The wire frame may be worked or
vibrated in any suitable way such as for instance by means of a crank or cam and
connecting rod.

Improvements in or connected with the Wire Frames of Paper
Making Machines.
We JOHN BROAD JACKSON and GEORGE BENTLEY both of Lodge Bank
Works, Bury in the County of Lancaster Engineers and SAMUEL SMITH of
25 Parker Street, Bury aforesaid Pattern Maker, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to so mount the wire frames of paper making
machines that they are worked or vibrated with greater ease and less friction than
hitherto.
According to this invention the frame is mounted by bearings upon links or
hangers which are themselves mounted upon bearings in the standards or supports
of the machine, The bearings in each case are preferably V pieces rocking upon
suitable bed pieces the said V pieces and bed pieces being preferably of steel and

or other form may be employed if desired. The bearings are preferably enclosed
or boxed-in by parts attached to, or forming part of, the frame or otherwise so as
to protect the bearings from water or other matter.
A convenient arrangement for carrying out our invention is illustrated in the
accompanying drawings of which
Figures 1 and 2 are sections at right angles to each other and Figure 3 is a plan,
D037

page_text: The links or hangers are each in the form of loops A connected top and bottom
by transverse pieces with a V bearing B at the top or upper part resting on a
bearing piece C on the upper end of a support C' connected to the main frame or
standard D of the machine. Each said loop A has a bearing piece E on its lower
part on which bearing piece rests a V piece F carried by the vibrating wire
frame G. The bearings may be boxed in by parts forming part of the frame G as
shewn. The wire frame may be worked or vibrated in any suitable way such as
for instance by a crank or cam and the connecting rod H.
:
The sideway movement of the V pieces relatively to their bearings is prevented
by the recesses and projections æ y.
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. In connection with the wire frames of paper making machines means for
suspending the said frames consisting of links or hangers which are mounted on the
standards or supports of the machine substantially as hereinbefore explained.
2. In combination with the wire frames of paper making machines the construction
and arrangement of suspending devices as hereinbefore described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
