WILLIAM GEORGE HANNA of 24 Wellington Place Belfast County of Antrim
Ireland Commission Agent 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 improved method of connecting the links of chains employed to carry the
chips in machines for stentering breadthening or finishing cloth consists in employing
a hook and eye to form the connection instead of the ordinary he and she hinged
Joint with pin.
This improved method of connecting the links of chip carrying chains is shewn in
the drawing herewith in which fig. 1. is a top view of three links and clips and fig. 2.
is a side view of same looking at the clips.
The hooks (h) and eyes (e) are formed of one and the same piece as the link (c)
of which they form part as well as the arms (c¹) which carry the moving part (c³)
of the clip.
This hook (h) and eye (e) has all the facilities for movement of a chain jointed
alternately vertically and horizontally as the connection by the hook and eye admits
of movement in any direction so the chain can be carried round pullies whose axes
are either at right angles to or parallel with the cloth and the chain can be diverted
from a right line so as to stretch or breadthen cloth or to take hold or let go thereof.
The hook and eye cannot be separated whilst in any working position.
Chains with this method of connecting the links can be employed to carry any form
of clip for holding the cloth.
