PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Cylinders for Drying and similar
Machines.
We, JOHN BOOTH, JOHN WILLIAM BOOTII, and JAMES HENRY BOOTH, all of
Paradise Street, Ramsbottom, in the County of Lancaster, Tin and Copper
Smiths, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in cylinders for drying and similar
machines our object being to dispense with the inconvenience and cost of
removing the cylinder end from the cylinder when a nozzle or trunnion bearing
has become defective and has to be repaired or replaced or when it is desired to
inspect the inside of the cylinder.
In carrying our invention into effect we cut a hole of suitable size in the
centre of the cylinder end and round this hole we rivet solder or otherwise secure
to the cylinder end a ring of metal. We then drill and tap the ring and the
cylinder end to receive any suitable number of bolts or screwed studs the ends
of which pass through holes drilled to receive them in the flange of the nozzle
or trunnion bearing which is then secured in position by means of nuts applied
to the bolts or screwed studs.
By means of the nuts the nozzle or trunnion bearing may be readily detached
from the cylinder end when necessary and as readily replaced without removing
the end from the cylinder.
In order to make a tight and effective joint we may employ a packing of any
suitable material.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Figures 1 and 2 are back and front elevations and Figure 3 is a transverse
section of a cylinder end with a trunnion attached thereto according to our
invention.
In these views, 1 denotes the cylinder end and 2 the nozzle or trunnion
bearing.
In carrying our invention into effect we cut a hole of suitable size in the
centre of the cylinder end 1 and round this hole we rivet, solder or otherwise
secure to the cylinder end, a ring of metal 3. We then drill and tap the ring
and the cylinder end to receive any suitable number of bolts 4 or screwed studs,
the ends of which pass through holes drilled to receive them in the flange of the
nozzle or trunnion 2 which is then secured in position by nuts 5 applied to the
screwed ends of the bolts 4; and in order to make a tight and effective joint we
may employ a packing 6 of asbestos or any other suitable material.
By means of the nuts 5 the nozzle or trunnion bearing 2 may be readily
detached from the cylinder end when necessary and as readily replaced without
removing the end from the cylinder.
our said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
In combination the cylinder end 1, provided with a central hole, the nozzle
or trunnion bearing 2, the metal ring 3 secured to the cylinder end around the
hole therein, and the bolts and nuts or equivalent fastenings all substantially
as and for the purpose herein set forth.
