PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Rollers for Mangling, Washing, Wringing, Printing, and
Paper Making Machines.
We, EDMUND WILLIAM LEIGH Derby Street, Cobridge, Staffs, Engineer,
JOHN THOMAS NODEN Elder Place, Cobridge, Staffs, Foreman of Brick and Tile
Works, and JOSEPH NODEN, Waterloo Road, Cobridge, Staffs, Brick, Pipe and
Tile Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This our invention relates to the rollers of machines used for washing, and
wringing or mangling cloth or clothes, and for printing and paper making machines,
and the object of our said invention is to make the rollers of such machines of or
from clay, earthenware, or marl.
To carry our said invention into practice we make such rollers of various sizes
by means of a suitable die or dies fitted or attached to a machine or machines
worked by steam or hydraulic power, a hole being formed through each roller of
any suitable shape and size, we first dry such rollers in a shed or hot-house, and
then dip the same in a mixture of any suitably coloured liquid clay or slip so as to
impart thereto a coloured and smooth surface, we then fire the rollers in a suitable
oven to a biscuit state, we afterwards dip such rollers in ordinary or other suitable
glaze and fire them in a suitable oven or ovens.
Into the hole formed through each roller we fit or fix by any suitable means a
suitably shaped metallic shaft, which shaft is longer than the roller into which it
is fitted and projects a suitable distance beyond each of its ends, so as to form
trunnions or axles for fitting into suitably shaped distance pieces or bearings made
of or from metal or other convenient material or materials for the purpose of
keeping such rollers a sufficient distance apart when fitted to such machines for
the purpose of preventing the said rollers abrading, or grating against each other.

Improved Rollers for Mangling, Washing, Wringing, Printing and
Paper Making Machines.
We, EDMUND WILLIAM LEIGH, 1 Derby Street, Cobridge, Staffs, Engineer,
JOHN THOMAS NODEN, Elder Place, Cobridge, Staffs, Foreman of Brick and
Tile Works, and JOSEPH NODEN, Waterloo Road, Cobridge, Staffs, Brick, Pipe
and Tile Manufacturer, 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 our invention relates to the rollers of machines used for washing and
wringing, or mangling cloth or clothes, and for printing and paper-making machines
the object of our said invention being to make the rollers for such machines of or
from earthenware, clay, marl, Cornwall clay, fire-clay, ball-clay and stone, or from
saggers and pitchers which have been ground up, mixed with water and pugged.
To carry our said invention into practice we make such rolls of various sizes by
means of a suitable die or dies attached to a steam-press pipe-making machine, or
.

page_text: by means of an hydraulic machine and pug mill, each roller is first fired in a biscuit
oven, then dipped in a liquid glaze, consisting of lead, flint and glass, and
afterwards fired in a glost oven.
Into the longitudinal hole formed through each of such rollers, we fit or fix by
cement or other suitable means a suitably shaped metallic shaft, which shaft we
make longer than the roller into which it is fitted, so that each end of such shaft
projects a suitable distance beyond each end of the roller, so as to form trunnions
or axles for bearing in or upon suitably shaped metallic bearings or distance pieces,
for the purpose of keeping such rollers a sufficient distance apart, when two or
more of such rollers are fitted to such machines as hereinbefore mentioned, for
the purpose of preventing such rollers abrading or grating against each other.
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 construction of rolls or rollers of various sizes by any suitable means of or
from earthenware, clay, mail, Cornwall-clay, fire-clay, ball-clay and stone, or from
pitchers and saggers which have been ground to powder, mixed with water and
pugged, such rolls being first fired in a biscuit oven, and afterwards dipped in a
suitable glaze, after which we fire such rolls in a glost oven, and when ready
for use
we mount such rolls in the manner and for the purpose as herein
substantially described and set forth.
