PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Temples Used in Looms for Weaving, Commonly
Known as Segment Temples.
We, CHARLES HAHLO, CHARLES EDWARD LIEBREICH, Machine Makers and
Merchants, and THEOPHILUS HANSON, Mechanic, all of Mill Street Bradford, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the Temples known as "Segment Temples" the arrangement consists of a series
of rings, cut and placed, diagonally upon a spindle and so arranged that, with the
teeth on their surface, they take hold of the cloth, and by reason of their diagonal
arrangement they draw it outward towards the selvage. We propose to substitute for
these rings a series of longitudinal plates, or, as they may be termed Segment
plates.
These plates are formed so that any number of them may be placed so as to cover
the circumference of the spindle. We cover the surface of these plates with fine
teeth after the manner of the rings in the ordinary Segment temple. From the inner
side of those plates, in suitable positions, we have a projecting stud or studs, or pins,
working in a groove formed in the spindle.
The form of this groove being such that it causes the plate to travel to and fro upon
the spindle, and following each other from end to end in regular succession, being
caused to revolve by the cloth as it is drawn forward.
The object of this is to cause the teeth upon the plates to draw the cloth outwards
towards the selvage-after the manner of the Segment rings.
The plates are so arranged that one takes hold of the cloth after the other, always
keeping it at regular tension.
The plates are kept in position by collars at each end of the spindle, or other suitable
means.
The plates may be made with their surfaces perfectly parallel with the spindle upon
which they are placed, or they may be made conical, and so obtain the same effect as
the Conical Segment Temples.
By this means we claim that we shall obtain efficient working of the temples and
greater economy in their manufacture and simplicity in construction.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Temples Used in Looms for Weaving, Commonly
Known as Segment Temples.
We CHARLES HAHLO, CHARLES EDWARD LIEBREICH, Machine Makers and
Merchants, and THEOPHILUS HANSON Mechanic, all of Mill Street, Bradford, 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 :-
In the Temple known as Segment Temples" the arrangement consists of a series
of rings, cut and placed diagonally upon a spindle, and so arranged that, with the teeth
on their surface, they take hold of the cloth, and by reason of their diagonal
arrangement, they draw it outwards towards the selvage. We propose to substitute
for these rings a series of longitudinal plates, or as they may be termed, Segment
plates.

page_text: These plates are so formed that any number of them may be placed so as to cover
the circumference of the spindle. We cover the surface of these plates with fine
teeth, after the manner of the rings in the ordinary Segment Temple. From the inner
side of the plates, in suitable positions, we have a projecting stud or studs, or pins,
working in a groove or grooves (according to the weight of work for which it is
required) formed in the spindle.
The form of this groove being such that it causes the plate to travel to and fro upon
the spindle, and following each other from end to end in regular succession, being
caused to revolve by the cloth as it is drawn forward.
The object of this is to cause the teeth upon the plates to draw the cloth outwards
towards the selvage after the manner of the segment rings. The plates are so arranged
that one takes hold of the cloth after the other, always keeping it at regular
tension.
The plates are kept in position by collars at each end of the spindle, or other suitable
means.
The plates may be made with their surfaces perfectly parallell with the spindle upon
which they are placed, or they may be made conical and so obtain the same effect as
the Conical Segment Temple.
In order that our invention may be better understood we proceed to describe the
accompanying drawings as follows:-
Fig. 1 is an elevation showing the plates A. A. hereinbefore described, in their
respective positions, and the usual cover C raised. Fig. 2 shows the spindle with one
of the plates removed so as to show the groove D. in the spindle, and the pins E. E.
which are made fast to the plates and work in the groove D. This groove is cut at
such angle, and in such manner as to bring the plates to the top as they are caused
to travel round the spindle by the cloth, and to keep them in that position a sufficient
length of time, and in such manner as to always keep the cloth pulley extended.
The collars B B keep the plates in position upon the spindle and allow them to
travel freely upon it.
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. The use of the plates with projecting pins for the purpose and in the manner
herein described, and the use of the collars or other suitable devices for keeping such
plates in position.
2. The use of the grooved spindle as herein described, and we may cut any
number of such grooves in the spindle according to the weight of work for which the
Temple is intended.
3. We claim that we shall obtain efficient working of the Temple, and greater
economy in their manufacture and simplicity in construction.
