IMPROVEMENTS IN TEMPLES USED IN WEAVING
Year: 1882

Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 14th July 1882.
JOSEPH HOLDING of Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Engineer,
"IMPROVEMENTS IN TEMPLES USED IN WEAVING
"
My Invention relates in the first place to the temples known by the designation
of Swiss temples and having inclined pin wheels mounted upon specially formed
washers which are threaded upon a spindle. I combine rollers with inclined rings
the latter acting upon the cloth for a short distance from the selvedge and a roller
or rollers acting upon the inner portion of the cloth. The roller or rollers may be
grooved, fluted or roughened or provided with pins and is or are preferably
mounted upon the same spindle as the inclined rings. The rollers may be changed
to suit the work in hand. In some cases I use about half the usual number of
inclined rings and mount the rings and rollers upon a spindle formed with a collar
about the middle of its length. I form the temple holder with an inclined end
and with a slot to receive the spindle. In the second place my Invention relates
to the ordinary roller temple. In place of a single roller formed with gudgeons
I mount two or more rollers upon a spindle so that each roller is free to move
to a greater or lesser extent than the other or others. In some cases I form these
rollers of wood provided with pins. In one arrangement the spindle is formed
with a central collar and is provided with four loose rollers two being mounted
upon each side of the said collar.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN TEMPLES USED IN WEAVING
My Invention relates in the first place to the temples known by the designation
of Swiss Temples and having inclined pin wheels mounted upon specially formed
washers which are threaded upon a spindle. I combine rollers with inclined rings
the latter acting upon the cloth for a short distance from the selvedge and a roller
or rollers acting upon the inner portions of the cloth. The roller or rollers may be
grooved, fluted or roughened or provided with pins and is or are preferably
mounted upon the same spindle as the inclined rings.
In the second place my Invention relates to the ordinary roller temple. In place
of a single roller formed with gudgeons I mount two or more rollers upon a spindle
so that each roller is free to move to a greater or lesser extent than the other or
others.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood I have attached
hereunto a sheet of drawings which for the sake of clearness are drawn to a scale
of about double the full linear dimensions and represent three temple rollers
constructed in accordance with my invention. Referring to the said drawings
Fig 1 is illustrative of the first part of my invention. In the said Fig a is a
spindle which is suitably adapted to fit in the ordinary or in a suitable temple
casing or holder. Upon one part of this spindle are threaded washers b, b, upon
which are mounted four ordinary Swiss inclined pin-wheels c, c, the formation of
the parts being the same as that of the corresponding parts in an ordinary Swiss
temple. Upon an enlarged part al of the spindle are mounted two metal cylinders
d, d, which have pin points raised upon their surfaces as in the case of ordinary
metal temple rollers. For convenience I form the said cylinders by cutting up.
brass tubing but I may adopt any other suitable method of formation and may
make the cylinders of any suitable material as for example I may make them of
hard wood set with pins but in such a case I should make the part a' of the
spindle of the same diameter as the part a. I may use less or more than four
Swiss wheels in combination with two pin cylinders or with more than two pin
cylinders or with only one pin cylinder. Figs 2 and 3 illustrate the second part
of my invention. In Fig 2 which is drawn partly in section about one half part e
of the length of the roller is made as usual but the remaining part ƒ is turned
down to receive two short cylinders d, d, which correspond to the same parts in
Fig 1. I may apply only one such cylinder or more than two and I may make
the part e less or more than half the length of the roller surface.
In Fig 3 the roller surface is composed entirely of short cylinders d, d, which
are mounted upon a spindle g.. This spindle is formed with a central collar h
which separates the cylinders into two sets there being two cylinders on each side
of the said collar. I may dispense with the said collar and may apply two, three
or more than four loose cylinders on the one spindle and I may make the spindle
of smaller diameter as compared with the outer diameter of the loose cylinders.
Having now fully set forth and indicated the nature of my said Invention and
the manner in which I carry the same into practical effect I would have it to be
understood that I claim :- :
First the temple rollers of the forms and constructions substantially as set forth
and indicated hereinbefore and in and by the accompanying drawings.

page_text: Secondly the temple roller consisting of Swiss pin wheels combined with a pin
cylinder or with two or more pin or toothed or roughened cylinders loosely mounted
on the same spindle substantially as set forth and indicated.
And lastly the combination of two or more rollers or cylinders on one axis
and capable of independant rotation to unequal extents substantially as set forth
and indicated herein before and with reference to Figs 2 and 3 of the drawings.
In witness whereof I the said Joseph. Holding have hereunto set my hand
and seal this eleventh day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty threa
Signed, sealed and delivered
