DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front view of our adjustable bearing for carrying rollers emploved

page_text: in printing machines--Fig. 2 an end view of Fig. 1--Fig. 3 a plan of Fig. 2.
and Figs. 4 and 5 are front views showing the adjustable bearing placed at
varying angles.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the end of a roller such as is employed in printing machines--
B shaft or centre carrying the roller, and C adjustable bearing.
On each side of the printing machine is fixed to the framework the bracket D)
by means of the bolts or set screws E. The adjustable bearing C is provided with
the boss or centre H which is mounted in the bracket D and secured at any
desired angle by means of the set screw I, which allows of the adjustable bearing C
carrying the roller A being placed at any convenient or desired angle, as shown
in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, to prevent the said rollers jumping out or leaving their
correct working position. The adjustable bearing C is fitted with the brass or
other metallic step K to allow of the same being renewed when worn, thereby
minimising the cost of repairs. If desired the step K may be dispensed with,
the adjustable bearing C being prepared to receive the shaft B.
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 adjustable bearing (provided with the boss or centre H mounted in the
bracket I), the said bearing C being adjustable and secured in any desired position
or angle by the set screw I, substantially as described and as illustrated in the
annexed drawings.
