PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Roller Bearings for Rotary Shafts, the same being
especially applicable for Wringing and Mangling Machines:
I, RICHARD MOORE of Moorfield House Silsden near Keighley in the County
of York, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows, that is to say :-
It relates to improvements in the formation or construction of certain parts of
roller bearings for rotary shafts whereby same may be cheaply produced and be
thoroughly efficient in their operations.
To attain this object I form a bearing block, which in case of wringing and like
machines is known as the "die," to carry a roller and yet be adjustable in its
position.
This bearing block has its central part hollowed for the reception of the larger
part of the roller, while at its sides suitable bearing surfaces or necks are formed
for receiving the shafts or axial pins of the antifriction roller so that same may
rotate freely therein, but be properly covered and retained thereby.
In this formation of bearing block little labour is entailed by any of the
processes of production other than that of moulding so that the cost is thus reduced
to a minimum.
}
Bearing blocks thus formed may, by having flanged guide picces, be used in
connection with both the top (in which case said block moves up and down 'as is
well understood) and bottom rollers of wringing and like machines.
Dated this 31st day of December 1894.

COMPLETE OF ECIFICATION.
Improvements in Roller Bearings for Rotary Shafts, the same being
especially applicable for Wringing and Mangling Machines.
I, RICHARD MOORE of Moorfield House, Silsden near Keighley in the County
of York, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
mander the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
It relates to improvements in the formation or construction of certain parts of
roller bearings for rotary shafts whereby same may be cheaply produced and be
thoroughly efficient in their operations.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood I have hereunto
appended a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, to which, by figures and letters,
Tinake reference in the following description.
Fig. 1 is part sectional end elevation of a portion of a wringing or mangling
machine with my improved parts applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is front elevation of the upper right hand part of wringing or

page_text: mangling machine and shows my improved parts as seen in another direction to
that illustrated by Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a drawing in detail, enlarged scale, of my improved bearing as when
made for use in connection with the bottom roller a of the machine illustrated by
Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3 but shows the bearing in section and as made
for use in connection with the upper roller of the machine.
Fig. 5 is a transverse section of the bearing shown by Fig. 3.
To attain the object of my invention I form a bearing block e, which in case of
wringing and like machines is known as the "die,"to carry a roller d'and yet so
that it may be adjustable in its position within the bifurcation e' of the end
frame as is well known.
This block chas for its central part d' hollowed out for the reception of the
larger part d of the roller, while at its sides suitable bearing surfaces fare
formed for receiving the shafts d¹ of said roller & so that same may rotate freely
therein, but be properly covered and retained by the block c.
Bearing blocks formed as above described but elongated as shown by Figs. 1
and 2 or with the projecting part g and duct for the supplying of lubricant to
the bearing and rubbing surfaces, as shown by Fig. 4, when what is known as
spiral pressure springs are employed, inay be used in connection with the upper
roller b, in which case it slides between the bifurcations e' e' of the end frame e in
the usual manner, while the other block rests at the bottom of said bifurcations.
where it forms a good receptacle for the lubricant.
In following the method of constructing the bearing block c as above described
little labour is entailed by any of the processes of production other than that of
moulding so that the cost is thus reduced to a minimum.
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 :-
'
1. The method of forming or constructing roller bearings for rotary shafts
substantially as herein specified.
2. In bearings for rotary shafts the combination of blocks formed as set
forth and rollers for rotating within same substantially as and for the purposes
specified.
