PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Tentering Machines for Textile
Fabrics.
I JOSEPH HORTON of Copley near Halifax in the County of York, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: --
My invention consists in preventing the greasing of fabrics by applying a series
of flanged plates above, between, or below the heating pipes, of each tier of the
endless chain carrying the piece also by providing suitable trays, cover plates, and
partitions at the required points, the trays which cover the pipes also act as
conducting plates for conducting and directing the heat on to the fabrics, and by
the aid of ventilators provided at the bottom of the machine frame causes a
circulation of hot air through the machine in contact with each piece, in each tier
and out through an opening at the top or through an exhaust. By this arrange-
ment the pieces are dried a more natural colour, more evenly and effectually than
hitherto.
This arrangement is specially applicable to the machines known as Whiteley's.
Dated this Fourteenth day of January 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Tentering Machines for Textile
Fabrics.
I JOSEPH HORTON of Copley near Halifax in the County of York Engineer,
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 :-
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation partly in section of front part of tentering machine
with my improvements applied.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation partly in section of rear part of machine with my
improvements applied.
Fig. 3 is a cross section through centre of tentering machine.
My invention consists in preventing the greasing of fabrics in tentering machines,
by applying a series of preferably flanged plates A, above, between, or below the
heating pipes B, of each tier of the endless chain B', carrying the piece; also by
providing suitable trays C, cover plates D, and partitions E, at the required
points.
The trays C which cover the pipes also act as conducting plates for conducting
or circulating the hot air, or directing the heat on to the fabrics, and by the aid of
ventilators provided at the bottom of the machine frame, causes a circulation of
hot air through the machine frame, to come in contact with the piece in each tier,
as indicated by arrows, and out through an opening F at the top, or through an
exhaust.
By this arrangement the pieces are dried a more natural colour, more evenly
and effectively than hitherto.
My improvements are specially applicable to the machines known as Whiteley's.
