PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or applicable to Calico Printing Machines.
I SAMUEL BRIDGE of 101 Shaw Lane Dinting in the County of Derby,
Foreman Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to machines known as calico printing machines used for
printing designs upon woven fabrics and the like; and the object of the invention
is to prevent the cylinder or bowl upon which the fabric is printed from shifting
slightly sideways; such motion, which occasionally occurs, causing an imperfection
in the "register" of the pattern being printed.
For this purpose I form, or fix by screwing or otherwise, a pin or stud in the
centre of that end of the shaft of the cylinder or bowl upon which is mounted the
disc or cam which imparts the traverse motion to the "doctors
of the pattern
rollers.
"
Upon this pin or stud I place a cap or bush which fits round the shaft of the
cylinder or bowl; I also cut a screw thread upon the said pin or stud and I tighten
the cap or bush against the disc or cam aforesaid by means of a suitable nut upon
the pin or stud.
This will force a bush or washer, or the boss of the disc or cam, against the
bearing in the frame or side of the machine, and I preferably mount the disc or
cam upon a short feather key in its shaft to allow for the action of the cap or bush,
which will thus hold the end of the shaft of the cylinder or bowl securely in position
and prevent any end wise motion thereof.
The adjusting nut is kept in place upon the pin or stud by a lock nut or other
equivalent device.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or applicable to Calico Printing Machines.
I SAMUEL BRIDGE of 101 Shaw Lane, Dinting, in the County of Derby,
Foreman Printer, 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 machines known as calico printing machines used for
printing designs upon woven fabrics and the like; and the object of the invention
is to prevent the cylinder or bowl upon which the fabric is printed from shifting
slightly sideways, such motion, which occasionally occurs, causing an imperfectio:1
in the register of the pattern being printed.
My invention will be readily understood from the following description on
reference to the accompanying drawing which shews in elevation so much of the
side frames of a printing machine as is necessary to illustrate the adjustment of the
cylinder or bowl.

page_text: I form, or fix by screwing or otherwise, a pin or stud a' in the centre of that end
of the shaft a of the cylinder or bowl b upon which is mounted the disc or cam c
which imparts the traverse motion to the "doctors" of the pattern rollers.
motion being well known is not illustrated on the drawing.
This
Upon this pin or stud a¹ I place a cap or bush & which fits round the end of the
shaft a I also cut a screw thread upon the said pin or stud a', and I tighten the
cap or bush d against the disc or cam e aforesaid by means of a suitable nut e upon
the pin or stud a¹.
This will force, a bush or washer f (or a boss on the disc or cam c) against the
brass or bearing g' in the frame or side g of the machine, and I preferably mount
the disc or cam c, upon a short feather key, as seen dotted at c', to allow for the
action of the cap or bush d, and the further tightening of the nut e will bring
the bowl itself up to the brass or bearing g' at the other side of the frame side g to
the proper degree of tightness compatible with easy working. A lock nut e¹ being
locked against the nut e, it will then be impossible for the cylinder or bowl 6 at
any time or under any conditious to float sideways.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved means for preventing the cylinder or bowl of a calico printing
machine from floating or shifting sideways substantially as herein before described
and illustrated by the annexed drawing.
