, To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JAMES MARVEL, a citizen of theI United States residing at New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, tain newand useful Improvements in Loom- Temples; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in loom temples, and more particularly to those that are adapted to be attached -to machines of conventional design. l

The object of the invention is therefore in the provision of a simple, practical and efficient designv of the character described, whereby the cloth is uniformly fed longitudinally from the loom without injury thereto..

With this and other objects in view, t-he invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will `be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a top plan view of the complete invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same; Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the head of the device showing a portion of rolls in side elevation; Fig. 5 is a transverse 'section on' line 5-5 of Fig. 4. j l

In the illustrated embodiment of the invention 1 represents the usual shank which is adapted to be detachably connected to theA loom in the usual manner, the same comprising a yielding arm 2 which is adapted to be accurately' adjusted longitudinally in res ect tothe feed portion pf the machine.

he invention primarily 'consists of upper andv lower jaws 3 and 4 respectively which are pro erly formed to removably receive-the fee ing rolls 5 and 6 which are especially designed for the purpose for which they are intended and in order to and advantages previously referred to. E

The jaws 3 and 4 referred to are detachably connected at one end by a bolt 7 passing throughthe enlarged ends of said jaws,

the latter-having a r1gid`union or connection with one another by means of a tongue 8 removably" engaged with a correspondhave inventedy ceri appertains to make part of t-he lower jaw, lentrance 13 is formed for 'material or fabric to befoperated upon beingly shaped recess A9 yformed in the lower member 4 of the jaw whereby said jaws are properlyheld'in perfect alinement with one another for holding the rolls in operative position,

By referring particularly to Fig. 4 of the drawings it will be seen that the outer ends of the jaws 3 and 4 are properly spaced to freely receive the cloth to be operated upon and as will be clearly observed, the upper shafts l0 supporting the rolls 5 are preferably located in alinement with Patented sept. 1o, 1912.'

the upper recessed end of the upper jaw 3,

said shaft being held in its relative position to said jaw by an enlarged e'xteriorly 'E 11 forming the opscrew 'threaded portion posite end of said shaft.

The lower shaft is similarly constructed. vand likewise revolubly receives the lower roll 6 of the device and as will be observed theends of the oppositely positioned shafts 12 are-mounted `within the lowerstationary whereby, the end the passage of the tween the said jaw zand .rolls mounted E therein. l

Referring more particularly to the principal construction of the invention it will be clearly observed'that the rolls 5 and 6 are spirally constructed in opposite directions and as will be clearly shown by referring to Fig. 5 said l rolls are concentrically mounted upon the horizontal parallel arranged shafts 10 and 12 whereby said rolls are adapted to mesh with 'one another alinement in respect to the upper and lower members 3 and 4 of the recelving jaws. The spiral convolutions of the'rolls 5 and 6 are preferably formed on an angle about 60 degreesand as before stated are positioned. to engage one another as clearly shown, and 'when the oppositely disposed jaws are united said rolls will be properly positioned'in respect to .one another for t-he purposes previously described.

and held in perfect i The rolls 5 and 6 are similarly constructed and the spiral convolutions. of the same closely mesh, said rolls being disposed in vertical alinement, and as vclearly shown, the

outer ends of the upper shafts 10` are not held in position by confined, but are merely "for their reception the depressions forme 1u the upper jaw3, whereby the rolls will the 'upper shafts be `closely assembled by and thus held in position.

The upper and lower jaws and 6. 'are in perfect alinement with one another and therefore the rolls carried therebyare likewise positioned, said jaws being recessed as permit the same to the jaws.

shown' I at lfreely revolve within vIn carrying out thepraotical constructions yof the invention itis obvious that the rigid connecting construction of the jaws is such vas to rigidl hold therolls 5 and 6 inrespect to one anot er whereby the cloth or material may be properly held and directed from the i loom of the machlne through the device.`

From the' foregoing `description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw' ings, the construction and operation ofthe -invention will be readily understood without 14 to accommodate thej rolls and through Iwith depressions formed in theI form, proportion received by a correspondingly shaped groove formed in the' lower jaw, throug the connectedends of ,the jaws, whereby-the jaws alinement with one another with their opposite. ends separated, shaftsl passin the jaws and detachably secure to the connected ends of the same, said shafts being arranged in pairs and each air being in vertical alinement, the lower s aft of each pair being journaled at both tends `within the lower jaw, and the uppers'haft of each pair being journaled at one end in the upper jaw and at its free 'end engaged in the same, and

rolls revolubly mounted upon the shafts and of uniform dimensions throughout their entire length, said rolls being structedcin opposite directions,

spirally lconwhereby the peripheries ofthe rolls are closely engaged between the disconnected receiving ends of the jaws.
