PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New Handle or Spindle for Reversing Rollers of Wringing and
Mangling Machines for Steam or Hand Power.
I, WILLIAM RICHARD HATTON Wormwood Scrubs Notting Hill London W. Blue
& Starch Makers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a new method of construction in the handle or spindle
for wringing & mangling machines whereby the rollers can be reversed by means
of a slot in the handle through which a long nut is passed and screwed to the roller
by this means both rollers can be reversed at will, so that the wear of the rollers will
be equal. Whereas in the present system the bottom roller gets worn away leaving
the top useless.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New Handle or Spindle for Reversing Rollers of Wringing and
Mangling Machines for Steam or Hand Power.
W. R. HATTON, Wormwood Scrubs, Notting Hill, London, W. Blue & Starch
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:-
My invention consists of a new method of construction, in the handle or spindle
for wringing and mangling machines. Whereby the rollers can be reversed,
by means of a slot in the handle through which a long nut is passed, and screwed
to the roller, by this means both rollers can be reversed at will, so that the wear of
the rollers will be equal. Whereas in the present system, the bottom roller gets
worn away leaving the top roller useless.
In my improvements to wringing machines and mangles, I make the top and
bottom spindles of the same length, fitted with a square taper end and screw,
having an improved handle with a long boss or sleeve of a sufficient length to enable
the handle to clear the top spindle. The handle being fastened by a long box nut
passing through the boss or sleeve having a hexagon head at the end to enable it
to be screwed up.
By removing the box nut, and the handle, the top roller may be made to take
the place of the bottom, whereby the rollers last inuch longer the wear becoming equal.
In the application of my improvements for driving by power, we remove the
box nut and handle, and substitute a driving pulley having a long boss or sleeve of
similar construction to the handle, the loose pulley being placed thereon.
The
pulley being fixed to the spindle by the box nut passing through the boss or sleeve
as in the above handle.
Or the pulleys may be placed on a loose boss, or sleeve of the same construction
as the handle; when found more convenient.
Having now described my said invention, 1 wish it to be understood that what I
claim is
The arrangement of both spindles, being so arranged with the improved handle or
pulleys that the rollers can be reversed at will and be worked either by hand or power.
In witness whereof I the said W. R. Hatton have hereunto set my hand and
seal this
in the year of our Lord 1890.
