PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Composition and Construction of Rollers
Employed in Calenders, Mangles, Squeezers, and the like.
We, SAMUEL MELLOR. of 27 Hennon Street, Brownlow Fold, Mechanic, and
WILLIAM WILDING of 19 Hobart Street, Mechanic, both of Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the composition and construction of
rollers employed in machines known as calenders, mangles, squeezers, and the like
for operating upon textile fabrics and other analogous substances, and consists in
making the said rollers of stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay in lieu of wood as at
present employed. The said stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay rollers can be
glazed or otherwise as desired. Each end of our improved roller is provided with
suitable metallic ends with means for securing the same to the spindle or centres
employed for carrying the same.

Improvements in the Composition and Construction of Rollers
Employed in Calenders, Mangles, Squeezers, and the like.
We, SAMUEL MELLOR of 27 Hennon Street, Brownlow Fold, Mechanic, and
WILLIAM WILDING of 19 Hobart Street, Mechanic, both of Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the composition and construction of
rollers employed in machines known as calenders, mangles, squeezers, and the like
for operating upon textile fabrics and other analogous substances, and consists in
making the said rollers of stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay in lieu of wood
as at present employed. The said stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay rollers can
he glazed or otherwise as desired. Each end of our improved roller is provided
with suitable metallic ends with means for securing the same to the spindle or centres
employed for carrying the same.
Fig. 1 is a section of our improved roller showing the method of securing the same
to the spindle or centre carrying it-Fig. 2 is an outside view, and Figs. 3 and 4 are
end views.
A is the roller; B and B' metallic ends; C spindle or centre; D the collar, and E
the nut for screwing the same together.
The roller A can be made of stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay, after which the
face or outer surface can be glazed or otherwise as desired. When the roller A is
composed of clay it can be turned up in a lathe prior to being baked or burned. The
metallic ends B and B are constructed with the projections G which fit into the hole
or opening H in the roller A. The spindle or centre C is provided with the six-sided
collar D fitting into the recess in the end B to prevent the former turning when
screwing up the nut E on the thread I on the opposite end of. the spindle or centre C.
The collar 1 can be of any other polygonal form, the recess corresponding therewith.
The recess J in the metallic end B₁ is sufficiently large in diameter to allow the
nut E to turn when screwing the same on the threaded portion I of the spindle or
centre C. When the rollers and their connections are employed in the machines

page_text: before mentioned they are supported in the usual bearings by the ends C¹ and Cof
the spindle or centre C.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In machines known as Calenders, Mangles, Squeezers, and the like for operating
upon textile fabrics and other analogous substances the use of rollers constructed of
stoneware, earthenware, or baked clay, glazed or otherwise.
2. The combination of the roller A-composed of stoneware, earthenware, or baked
clay, the ends B and B', centre with the ends C and C³, collar D, and the nut E,
substantially as described and as shown on the drawings.
