COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dandy-rolls.
I, MATTHEW FOSTER, of 4 Woodside Terrace, Joppa, Midlothian, Daudy-roll
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 :-
This invention relates to dandy-rolls, and it has for its object to improve their
construction.
The invention consists in making the roll with a number of tubes, or stays,
preferably four, which hold the metal discs in place. There is or may be also
fitted inside the roll, a wire spiral, to help to strengthen the roll. The metal discs
may be made with small lugs having holes through which the tubes pass.
The roll is built up on the outside with wires in the usual manner.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have
hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved roller.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a roll.
Fig. 2 a part side elevation, with the outside wires removed for clearness.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the roll, Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an end view of the roll.
Referring to the drawings:-
-
a, are the usual metal discs, which are secured together and held firmly in place,
by tubes or stays b. The tubes or stays may pass through lugs c, made as part of,
or fitted to, the discs. There may be any suitable number of tubes or stays in the
roll. The discs a may be held firmly to the tubes or stays, by solder or
otherwise. Inside the tubes or stays u, there may be fitted, parallel therewith,
strong wires d. These wires d may also be held in position by solder or otherwise.
At the interior of the roll, and fitted, preferably, to the wires d, is a wire spiral e,
which extends from end to end of the roll. Diagonal wires may be fitted in the
roll, so as to pass between the tubes or stays band the longitudinal wires d. are
the usual longitudinal wires on the outside of the discs and is the usual spirally-
wound thin wire, which covers the outside of the roll. The wires g and h are not
shown at Fig. 1.

page_text: The use of the small tubes or stays b, obviates the necessity for using a large
central tube, as usual.
A dandy-roll, made as hereinbefore described, combines strength, rigidity and
lightness, and it is also very easily cleaned, as there is no large central tube to
obstruct the cleaning process.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A dandy-roll, made substantially as hereinbefore described, with reference to
the drawings annexed.
2. In dandy-rolls, retaining the discs (a) in position, by means of a number of
longitudinal tubes or stays (b), substantially as hereinbefore described and shown
on the drawings annexed.
