PROVISIONAL DICITIATION
Improved Method of Lubricating Shell Rollers for Drawing or
Spinning Frames.
ALFRED HITCHON and HOWARD & BULLOUGH LIMITED, Machinists, Globe
Works, Accrington, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the lubricating of the inner bearing surface of shell rollers
and the periphery of the arbors on which they revolve.
In this our invention, we provide a groove or trough sunk below the periphery
and parallel to the axis of the arbor, in which we lay a woollen pad or of some
other suitable material, such pad being saturated with oil or a similar lubricant,
and of such thickness that it will bear against the inner surface of the shell roller
when mounted on the arbor, and as the shell roller revolves it is constantly being
lubricated.
The end or ends of the trough or groove in the arbor may project beyond the
ends of the shell rollers, thus allowing easy access of supplying more lubricant,
the pad absorbing such lubricant and conveying the same along the trough or
groove.

ALFRED HITCHON and HOWARD & BULLOUGH LIMITED, Machinists, Globe
Works, Accrington, 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 the lubricating of the inner bearing surface of shell rollers
and the periphery of the arbors on which they revolve.
In this our invention, we provide a groove A or trough sunk below the periphery
and parallel to the axis of the arbor, in which we lay a woollen pad B or some
other suitable material, such pad being saturated with oil or a similar lubricant,
and of such thickness that it will bear against the inner surface of the shell roller

being lubricated.
The end or ends of the trough or groove in the arbor C may project beyond
the ends of the shell rollers D, thus allowing easy access of supplying more
lubricant, the pad absorbing such lubricant, and conveying the same along the
trough or groove.
In order that our invention may be readily understood, we make reference to
the sheet of accompanying drawings, Fig. I being an elevation of Fig. 2 in
section, Fig. 3 an elevation of the arbor or spindle of same, A being the recessed
trough part cut in the arbor C, B being the lubricating pad, I being the revolving
shell of the roller. Fig. 4 shews an end view of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 shews the
loose end drawn off.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
The improved lubricating appliances as described and substantially illustrated.
THIS IS Day of December 1897.
