Improvements in Raising Machines for Textile Fabrics.
We, JACOB LOMAX, of 13, Denton Street, Fernhill, Foreman Finisher, WILLIAM
RICHARD MEADOWS, of 9, Regent Street, Mill Mechanic, and WILLIAM NABB,
Stockwright, 12, Every Street, Fernhill, all of Bury, in the County of Lancaster,
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:-
Our invention relates to improved means for supporting the wire spindles
which carry the teazles that are employed in Moser raising machines. The
object of our invention is to dispense with the plate springs hitherto in use, and
substitute therefore bushes that are fitted with an internal spring in order to
afford an improved bearing for the ends of the aforesaid spindles, and to
facilitate their removal from between the brackets
In the accompanying drawing to which we hereinafter refer, Fig. 1 is a side
view of a teazle and brackets showing our invention applied. Fig. 2 is a plan
partly in section showing the spring and bearing hereinbefore named.
In both views similar letters refer to similar parts.
For the purpose of this invention we fit to one of the end brackets ba
bearing as which is screwed into or otherwise secured to said bracket and in
which one end of the spindle of the teazle rests. We fit to the other bracket b¹
a bearing c that is screwed into the bracket band formed with a plunger d
which is pressed forward by a spring e so far as the pin f will permit. The
end of the spindle rests in the plunger, which when the teazle is required to
be removed is pushed inwards thereby compressing the spring e and permitting
the opposite end of the spindle g to be withdrawn from the bearing a. If

page_text: preferred both ends of the spindle may rest in spring bearings and the casings
for the springs may be formed on the brackets in place of being screwed in.
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:-
1. In brackets that support the teazles in Moser raising machines the use of
bearings as a and e, one of said bearings having a plunger that is controlled by
a spring as e, one end of the teazle spindle being inserted in said plunger and
the opposite end of the spindle inserted in a fixed bearing as a substantially as
and for the purpose herein before described.
2. Supporting the ends of the teazle spindles in Moser raising machines
either in one fixed bearing as a and one spring bearing as c. or two spring
bearings as a substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
