I, WILLIAM EDWARD JOHNYS, of Mount View, Eccleshill, near Bradford in the
County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:—
This invention relates to improvements in temples used in looms for weaving, and
it consists in employing sheet metal perforated and applied as hereinafter described
instead of the short pins ordinarily employed which commonly damage the edge of
the fabric.
For this purpose I employ sheet iron, steel, or other suitable metal perforated in a
similar manner to a common grater for covering the revolving part or parts of
temples, or the parts usually fitted with pins. The perforated metal is preferably
soldered on to such parts with the sharp edge or "burr "left round the edge of the
perforations outward, which acts in a similar manner to the pins ordinarily employed
but has not sufficient hold to tear or damage the fabric.
Or a simple and effective temple adapted for light fabrics may be formed by
covering a conical roller with the said perforated sheet metal with the perforations
preferably arranged spirally and mounting it on a pin in a similar manner to an
ordinary temple, or the said pin may be inclined so as to raise the inner end of the
temple.

Improvements in Temples Employed in Looms for Weaving.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD JOHNYS, of Mount View, Eccleshill, near Bradford, in the
County of York, 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 improvements in temples used in looms for weaving, and
it consists in employing sheet metal perforated and applied as hereinafter described
instead of the short pins ordinarily employed.
For this purpose I employ preferably sheet steel perforated in a similar manner to
a common grater for covering the revolving part or parts of temples or the parts
usually fitted with pins. The perforated metal is preferably soldered onto such parts
with the sharp edge or "burr "round the edge of the perforations outwards, which
acts in a similar manner to the pins ordinarily employed.
A simple temple adapted for light goods or fabrics may be formed by covering a
conical roller with such sheet metal.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this
specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all
the figures.
Figure 1, represents an elevation of a loom temple constructed in accordance with
my invention.
Figure 2, is a similar elevation showing a modified form.
: Figure 3, is also an elevation of a temple embodying my improvements in com-
bination with an ordinary form of temple ring.
Figure 4, is a transverse section through the line a, b figure 2.
In figure 1, the rings A are mounted on segments B in a similar manner to an
ordinary temple but instead of being provided with pins they are covered with
perforated sheet steel 'C soldered thereto with the "burr" outwards.
A conical roller A' covered with sheet steel in a similar manner to the rings A is
shown in figure 2. The said roller is mounted upon the pin D, and used in a similar
manner to an ordinary temple. Such roller may be divided transversely into
segments as represented by the vertical lines H.
In figure 3, a temple adapted for heavier fabrics is represented, in which case a
shorter roller A¹ is employed and two ordinary pinned rings G are provided to engage
the selvedge.
The outer rings of the temple represented in figure 1 may be replaced by pinned
rings for a similar purpose.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare what
I claim is:
1. A temple having rings covered with perforated sheet metal, substantially as
herein shown and described.
2. A temple consisting of a roller covered with perforated sheet metal, substantially
as herein shown and described.
3. The combination with the revolving part or parts of temples, of a covering of
perforated sheet metal.
