This maportions, and Often e gudgeohs as Well, must terial may be one having such characteristics be lubr c te although Care should be when to that it requires no lubricant.

T e present invention aims to devise a top such as the oil impregnated sintered metals, or roll construction in which these objectionable even 011 impregnated hard Woods, if the presfeatures Will be eliminated. sures are not too great,
The nature of the invention will be readily For these purpgses one of the synthetic wunderstood from the fol ow description When amide compositions, such as that sold by the Du read in connection with the accompanying drawm; cgmpany under th commercial name of ings, and the novel features will be particularly nylon is highly Satisfactory, i is a long pointed out in the appended claimchain synthetic polymeric amide having recur- In t e d a ring amide groups as an integral part of the main Fig. 1 is a o t vat of a roll Constructed polymer chain.

' This is defined chemically as a polytetrafluorethrylene polymer and is also obtainable from theDu- Pont Company. This material is the equivalent of nylon for the purposes of this invention.
The other synthetic thermoplastics above mentioned can also be substituted for the nylon and Teflon just described, and used without the addition of lubricants. This is also true of the selflubricating materials above referred to, one example of which is obtainable commercially under the name of Oilite. All of these materials have the important operating advantage afforded by their extremely low coefficient of friction.
It has been common to run cast-iron rolls of the character above described with cast-iron saddles and in cast-iron bearings, or cap-bars. Once a glaze is established on the friction surfaces the parts operate quite satisfactorily. The
coenicient of cast-iron running on cast-iron slightly lubricated is given in Machinerys Handbook as .15. All of the materials above mentioned which applicant proposes to use in the construction of his roll body have a very much lower coefficient of friction which translates itself into a saving in power and a consequent reduction in overhead costs. Moreover, because no lubricant is required, both the labor and expense for applying it and the work involved in cleaning is reduced very materially. While some of the materials mentioned are not suited to high speedoperation, others -do not have this limitation.
The invention thus provides a top roll of the solid type which is far superior to those in com mon use, not only because it requires no lubrication,.but also due to the fact that less power is required to drive it and the expenses of opera tion and renewal are reduced.
Having thus described my invention, What I desire to claim as new is:
A top roll for the textile drawing mechanisms of spinning and roving frames, comprising a shaft, two bosses supported on said' shaft and adapted for the application thereto of the customary cots, said bosses having a pressed fit upon said shaft .and being spaced apart, and gudgeons pressed into the outer ends of said bosses beyond the ends of the shaft.
