Improvements in Ruffles or Collars and Friction Pulleys for
Warpers' and Weavers' Beams and other Machinery.
We THOMAS REEDER, Senior, of Greenbank Tin Works, JAMES REEDER

the County of Lancaster Tin Plate and Sheet Metal Workers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-

The ruffles or collars at present in use for fixing flanges to. yarn beams and
friction pulleys are made from cast iron or malleable cast iron or thin tin. The
cast iron ones are very heavy and liable to break and those made with malleable
cast iron are very expensive and take a long time to make on account.of.the
process they have to pass through to render them unbreakable while those made
from tin soon wear un-even with the pressure of ropes or chains..
The object of our invention is to overcome these difficulties by constructing
strong light un-breakable and in-expensive ruffles bosses or friction pulleys. Our
improved ruffles or collars and friction pulleys are made from sheet metal angle
or bar iron or steel. We make them the required shape and fix them to the
flange and beam or rollers with bolts screws rivits or any other suitable fixing.
For the friction pulleys or ruffle we take a plate or plates and make them the
required shape then we lock them together by turning one end over the other,
or fix them together with rivits, bolts, screws or any other suitable fixings or we
make them in metal with one or more cavities or deep slots in them for the
purpose of fixing them on the beam or roller with taper locking wedges, keys,
rivits, bolts, screws, clips or any other suitable fixings.

Improvements in Ruffles or Collars and Friction Pulleys for
Warpers' and Weavers' Beams and other Machinery.
We THOMAS REEDER Senior of Greenbank Tin Works, JAMES REEDER
96 Nelson Street and ROBERT REEDER 11 Alsop Street all of Preston in the
County of Lancaster, Tin Plate and Steel Metal Workers, 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 :—
.
Our invention consists of various ways and methods of constructing the ruffles or
collars and friction pulleys of sheet metal, bar angle shape or any other section
thereby making them strong durable and exceedingly light and in order that the
nature of our invention may be fully understood we append a sheet of drawing in
which various applications of this invention is represented as shown on Fig. 1
to 10.
Fig. 1 & 2 represents a pulley made of sheet metal, the outer rim formed in one
or more peices being straight or flanged up at one or both ends and strengthened by
one or more segments; in the inside these inner segments being secured to the outer
rim and locked together round the part that forms the boss of the pulley; these
locking joints to form the keys to prevent it slipping on the beam or roller.
ונ.--

page_text: The segments are left open at the joints for drawing the boss up tight on the
beam or roller, by bolts, screws, rivits or any other suitable way of fixing.
Fig. 3 & 4 represents another form of pulley made in sheet metal the rim being
made in one or more peices and made straight or flauged up at one or both ends
with lapped joint either rivited, locked, screwed or bolted and finished level on the
ouside.
The rim is strengthened by a. number of double arms of sheet metal bent to
shape and curved round, to form the boss; the division between the plates of
the arms are fitted in with taper locking wedges and pulled up tight on the beam
or roller by bolts, screws, rivits or any other suitable way of fixing.
Fig. 5 & 6 is another form of pulley the rim and boss made from one sheet,
straight or flanged up at one or both ends, with lapped joint either rivitted,
locked screwed, or bolted and finished level on the outside. The boss being
made to fit the roller or beam having one or more clinks to form keys which
will prevent it from slipping round after being nipped up tight by the. flange or
flanges A by screws, bolts or any other method of fastening. The outer rim is
strengthed by one or more inner segments B fixed together with bolts, screws,
rivets or other suitable way and can be filled in with timber or any other material;
the same filling in applys to all the other designs when required.
Fig. 7 & 8 shows the form of a single boss made from sheet metal in one or
more peices, locked or revitted at the joint and finished level on the outside.
The rim being left straight or flanged up on one or both ends; and one or more
indents made a part or the full width of the boss to prevent it from slipping on the
beam or roller.
Fig. 9 & 10 represent a boss or socket made from metal in sheet, bar, angle
shape or any other section in one or more peices and secured at the joint or joints C
with bolts, screws, rivits or any other suitable way of joining them."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
it must be understood that we do not limit ourselves strictly to the foregoing
details, as the various parts may be increased or diminished and modified.
What
we claim is
1st. The use of sheet, bar, angle shape or any other section of metal in the
manufacturing of the foregoing.
2nd. The way they are made and secured together.
3rd. The method of fastening them on the beams or rollers, all as described by
the foregoing Specification and drawing.
