PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tentering Machines for Finishing Cloth.
I, MARK STUBLEY, of Braggs Buildings, Carlinghow, Batley, Yorkshire, Finisher,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to tentering machines employed in stretching and
tentering cloth, and my improvements relate to the rollers over which the cloth passes.
These rollers are composed of lags running lengthwise, and are made so as to open
out or expand and contract lengthwise, to suite the different widths of cloth under
operation.
In practice it is found that the bolts which secure these lags to the bearers or
flanges come loose, and drop out, allowing the lags to fall away from the bearers, and
oscillate sideways, doing damage to the cloth passing over them.
To prevent this is the object of my invention, and this I accomplish by wrapping
suitable wire around all the lags, so as to bind them together. By this means if the
bolts get loose the lags cannot leave the bearers, nor oscillate, as they are kept together
by the wire.

page_text: 1, MARK STUBLEY, of Braggs Buildings, Carlinghow, Batley, Yorkshire, Finisher,
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:-
This invention has reference to tentering machines employed in stretching and
tentering cloth, and my improvements relate to the rollers over which the cloth passes.
These rollers are composed of lags running lengthwise, and sometimes are made so as
to open out or expand and contract lengthwise, to suit the different widths of cloth
under operation.
In practice it is found that the bolts which secure these lags to the bearers or flanges
come loose and drop out, allowing the lags to fall away from the bearers, and oscillate
sideways, doing damage to the cloth passing over them.
To prevent this is the object of my invention and this I accomplish by wrapping
wire or other suitable material around all the lags so as to bind them together.
In order that my invention may be better understood, I will now make reference to
the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein Fig. 1 is elevation of
an ordinary lathed roller used in tentering machines. Fig. 2 section of same, and
Fig. 3 end view thereof. a is the shaft carrying flanges or discs b which are employed
to support the wood laths c, fastened thereto by bolts d in the ordinary manner.
My invention is shewn at e, which consists of wrapping or winding wire, leather,
or other suitable material around each lath in the manner somewhat shown in Fig. 3,
by which means if any of the bolts d get loose and drop away, the laths will still be
kept in their position; consequently the cloth passing over the said roller will not be
damaged, as is now the case, by the lags getting loose and moving sideways.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
I hereby declare that what I claim is:
Firstly. The means or method of binding together the laths of tentering machine
rollers by winding wire, leather, cord, or other suitable material around the laths in
the manner substantially as described.
