An improved Method of Attaching Romers to the parts of washing,
Mangling, Weaving, Warping, Carding, and other Machines.
I, TEDDY ISHERWOOD, Sewing and Wringing Machine Agent of 5 King Street
Ramsbottom in the County Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
And in order that the same may be better understood I append hereto the
accompanying drawings.
.
Fig. I is a longitudinal section shewing the first method of carrying out my
invention in which the shaft extends throughout the length of the roller.
Fig. II, shews a transverse section of the same. a, a are caps of brass or other
suitable material enclosing the ends of the roller b, and extending about one inch over
the length thereof.
They have a square hole in the centre to fit on the shaft c, which may be either square
throughout its length or only square at the point at which the caps a, fit. I prefer to
attach spikes d, d to the inner side of the caps to prevent them from turning.
By the arrangement as shewn in Fig. I, the caps are retained in position by a nut e,
running on a screwed portion of the shaft and such a nut may be used at both ends the
threads in this case may be right and left handed, or a fast collar f, may be employed
at one end as shewn.
Fig. III is a longitudinal section shewing the second method of carrying out my
invention in which the shaft extends throughout the length of the roller. The caps a,
instead of the spikes are fixed by screws g, g, and in this case I dispense with the nut
and screw, forming a boss h upon one or both of the caps.
Fig. IV, is a longitudinal section shewing the third method of carrying out my
invention in which the shaft does not extend throughout the length of the roller.
Fig. V is a transverse section of the same.
The short shafts i, i are fixed by being screwed into nuts k, k, let into the roller by
the holes 1, 1, which can be afterwards filled with wood. Externally a nut e, is
employed as before upon a thread which may be of the same or opposite hand to the

page_text: internal thread. A short portion of the shaft is left square at m, m, for the cap to
fit on.
In this view is also shewn another method of preventing the cap from turning on
the roller, namely the keys n, n of which one or more may be, employed.
The keys are formed with or attached to the caps and fit in suitable recesses in the
rollers.
•
Fig. Vl shews a method of applying my invention to Warpers or Weavers Beam
rollers, the shaft in this case extending throughout the length of the roller, and it may
either be square as shewn or round for a portion of its length. A nut may be used at
each end or at one only, or the caps may be secured by screws as in Fig. III.
Fig. VII, shews a Warpers or Weavers beam roller in which short shafts are
employed as in Fig. V. The caps may be keyed by keys n, n, as shewn in Fig. VII
or secured by spikes or screws as in Fig. VI and the holes in the caps to receive the
shafts may be either square or round.. The flanges o may be either cast with the caps
or secured thereto in any of the ordinary ways.
I desire to state that I do not claim attaching round shafts to rollers by caps at each
end but having now fully described and ascertained my said invention and the manner
in which the same is to be performed, what I claim is :-
I. Attaching the shafts of rollers of Washing or Mangling and other Machines, to
the said rollers by means of caps of the same or nearly the same diameter as the roller
with spikes and lock-nut substantially as herein described and shewn in Figs. I and II
of the accompanying drawings.
II. The caps without spikes and fixed by screws, and the shaft without nut
substantially as described and as shewn in Fig. III of the accompanying drawings.
III. The inserted nuts h, k, and the arrangement for attaching the short shafts with
caps carrying keys n, n substantially as described and shewn in Figs. IV and V of the
accompanying drawings.
IV. The caps with square holes fitting upon shafts a portion or the whole of which
is of square section substantially as hereinbefore described.
