My invention relates to cloth-measurers; and the object of the same is to produce a device of this character which will be simple in construction and efficient in operation. With my improved instrument the amount of cloth rolled into a roll can be easily and quickly measured without marking or soiling the same.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is;
1. In a measuring device, the combination substantially as described, of a spool mounted to revolve and bearing a supply of thread, a sheave, means for recording the revolutions of said sheave, and a tension located to engage the thread intermediate the said spool and the said sheave, said tension comprising an apertured arm rigidly mounted on a shaft, and a coiled spring surrounding said shaft.
2. In a measuring device, a tension, comprising a shaft, an apertured arm rigidly mounted on said shaft and a coiled spring surrounding said shaft, substantially as described. |  |
