I, GREEN ROBERT BISHOP KEMPTON of Abbey Lodge, Abbey Road, West
IIam Essex, Cotton Mill Manager do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows
—
This apparatus consists of two, three, four or more sheaves working loose on a
spindle, stud or shaft supported by a bracket fixed either to loom side or top front
breast beam on each side of loom, and two, three four or more corresponding
sheaves working loose upon the shaft ends at each side of cloth roller: These
sheaves are reefed by rope of chain by fixing one end of the rope to the loom top
rail, bracket or bracket shaft then passed round the 1st bottom sheave ou cloth
roller end and then on 1st sheave in top set and then over 2nd & 3rd corresponding
sheaves in bottom & top sets and a weight attached to the other end of the rope or
chain.
By this means the cloth roller is pulled up and held tight to the taking up roller
as shown on drawing.
The sheaves can be made of metal or wood.
The following is a description of the drawing shewing a 3 sheave set.
A are the top sheaves.
