PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Machinery for Rolling Metal.
We HENRY JONES and DAVID REES JONES, both of Railway Bridge Works, Neath,
Wales, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to dispense with the use of the usual set screws and
accessories for pressing down the riders which hold down the top roll of metal rolling
machinery, and use in place incline bearings. According to this invention we arrange
the upper cross part of the frame standards with an under flat face for one side of
blocks to bear against, the under side of the blocks being made incline, and presses
upon the top of the riders which are made incline to correspond to the incline of the
blocks but set in opposite directions. The blocks are connected to a rod or rods in any
suitable manner and operated by a screw thread at end passing through a sleeve held so
as to revolve, attached to a hand wheel. The drawing forward of the block by turning
the hand wheel depresses the rider to the extent of the two incline faces and conse-
quently the top roll which is controlled by the rider.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Machinery for Rolling Metal.
We HENRY JONES, and DAVID REES JONES, of Railway Bridge Works, Neath,
Wales, 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:-
The object of this invention is to dispense with the use of the usual set screws and
accessories for pressing down the riders which hold down the top roll of metal rolling
machinery, and use in place incline bearings acting on the wedge principle. To
enable our invention to be properly understood we will proceed to fully describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 end elevation.
Fig. 2 partial front elevation.
Fig. 3 horizontal section at line a, b, fig. 1.
Fig. 4 similar view with modified arrangement.
A, standard of frame of rolls, B the rider carrying the usual brass B¹ to
hold down the top roll D, by bearing upon the journal end of same. This
rider B has the top made at an incline angle upon which rests a block E,
having one side made at an incline corresponding to the incline on top of B,
and the other side made straight which bears against the underside of the cross
part of A. This block E is connected to one end of rod F, running outside the
standards A, by a cross pin M the other ends of the rods being connected by a cross
pin G, to a screw threaded rod H which passes through a sleeve J attached to wheel I,
and arranged to be held and revolved in collar K, mounted on a bracket K¹ secured to
standard. Moving the block E by turning the hand wheel 1, either depresses the rider B,
and consequently the roller D, or admits of their elevation, according to the way in
which the wheel is turned. In figure 4, the block E may be connected to a fork link L,
into which screws a rod H', passing through a hole N, in standard A, the end of rod Hi
being screw threaded to pass through and engage the revolving sleeve J attached to
wheel I, of course it will be understood that both ends of the rolls are similarly fitted
and arranged.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is
The manner of controlling the top roll in machinery for rolling metal consisting of
the combination with the standards A, of riders B, having the top made at an angle,
block E, having one side made at an angle corresponding to that on top of B, and
the top flat to bear against underside of cross portion of standards, rods or rod F,
or H having one end connected to block E, and the other end arranged to engage by
screw thread a sleeve held in a bracket so as to revolve and attached to a hand wheel,
all substantially as described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 18th day of January 1890.
