Each temple roller comprises a core 2| of any suitable material, such as relatively hard wood and the core 21 has an axial opening 22 extending entirely through the same for the reception of an axle pin 23 which at oneend is provided with a smooth and rounded portion adapted to v engage in a seat 24 provided at the outer end of the cap it, the axle rod 23 having a screw threaded portion 25 which detachably engages with a threadedopening through the inner end of the cap l9. There is a rod 23.for each temple roller and the latter may be quickly and easily removed from the'cap, after the same is detached from the bar 95, by merely unscrewing the rod sections and withdrawing the rods from the cores 2 I."

Each core 2! is provided at opposite ends with keris 26 and 2'! which are disposed transversely across the ends of the core and at one side of the axial opening 22, as shown in Figures 6 and 'i.

,The surface layerrof theroller may be, of braid ed' cotton, leather, rawhide or other suitable ma- "terial which is pliable and which presentsthe necessary frictional contact for holding the-fabric; 18,. These new temple rollers are adapted particularly for silk, cellanese or other fabrics of a delicate nature so that the fabrics would and even surface to the roller'of the "desired hardness, depending upon' the goods to be passed through the temple. The winding is in the form of a strand, of leather, rawhide, braided cotton or the like-which has its initial extremity 29 disposed in fiat "engagement against one side of the core 2|, near one end thereof, and'which is carried'from' said extremity 29 through the adjacent end kerf 26 of the core to form-an end loop 39 for the winding, the strand being carried from the kerf 26 about the core 2| in successful convolutions or helices so as to not only cover the core but also bind the convolutions of the strand about the initial end 29. Thus, the extremity 29 is firmly held and enclosed within the winding and the looped end 30 engagesthrough thekerf 26 to lock the initial end of the layer-windingo'n the core 2|; -L 1 Q The strand 28.is wrapped spirally and continuously until adjacent the opposite end oi' the core 2!. Here. the end portion of the strand is looped outwardly from the side of the roller to form a finishing loop 3| which'is of considerable size to admit of. ease in finishing ofi the end'of thewinding. The end of the loop 3| is engaged through the kerf 2T andis held against the :side

of the core 2! while the finishing loopfis twisted and rolled about the end portion of the core and over the fiat'end of the loop so as tohold the end against the core and cover it by the adjacent end convolutions of the winding. After the fin-' ishing loop 3! has been twisted and drawn about small for further wrapping, the finishing extremity 32 of the strand is drawn lengthwise and along one side of the roller so as to pull the free end of the. loop 31 through-the lrerf 2! and draw the strandtaut so that the finishing end ofthe roller will be substantially the same as the initial end thereof. 'After the strand has been drawn taut and the finishing loop 3| has disappeared, the extremity 32 is cut off close to the adjacent end windings so that the cut end. of the strand will lie beneath the end convolutions of the windtemple rollers.

ing and will be housed and held in locked position on the core.

These temple rollers may be of any desired length. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, they are of the full length of the cups I! but, as shown in Figure 5, the rollers maybe of shorter length, depending upon the side of the cores 33 and 34 so as to interfi-t in offset or staggered pairs, according to the different types of cloth and work to be done.

It is apparent that when the surface of the roller is worn, the strand 28 may be out or otherwise removed from the core 2! and a new surface layer strand may be quickly and easily wound upon the core to renew the surface of the roller. The cores ma'ythus be saved and used indefinitelyas the winding of the strand 23 is a relatively simple and economical operation, and the strand itself, whether of cotton, leather or rawhide is relatively inexpensive. This obviates the necessity of discarding the rollers completely and the consequent high cost of maintenance of the It is obvious that variouschanges andniodi- 'fications may be made in the details of construction and design of the above specifically described embodiment of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof, such changes and modificationsbeing restricted only by the scope of the following claims: V V a r 1 What is claimed is: a i 1'. A temple'roller, comprising a, core'having kerfs" in its opposite ends, and a surface layer winding of a soft-pliable material extending-spirally from end to end on the core'and having its opposite'ends locked through the kerfs-with the opposite extremities of the windingterminating beneath the respective end helices of the winding.

2. A temple roller, comprising a core having kerfs: in its opposite ends, and a surface layer winding of a strandof pliable material Wound spirally fromend to end on the core, the initial end 'of the'wound strandbeing anchored beneath the'severalfirst helices thereof and looped axially from beneath the same'through the adjacent 'kerf of the core and lock the winding thereto, the finished end of the winding being looped through the kerfat the opposite end of Qthe core and returned beneath the several adja'cent end helices of the winding to lock the end of the winding to the core, said opposite end helices of the winding enclosing and covering'the oppositeends of the layer winding.

' 3; A templeroller comprising a core of relatively hard wood having kerfs in its opposite ends,

a strand of relatively soft and pliablematerial wrapped about said core from end to end thereof and having its opposite end portions looped out- Wardly through said kerfs and with the extremities of the strand disposed beneath the adjacent end helices of the winding for holding the extremities beneath the surface of the roller and taut through said kerfsl the core 2| until the finishingloop 3f is-too 4. A temple roller" comprising a core having kerfs in opposite ends, and a strand of braided ing, and a surface winding of a'strip of pliable material extending from'end to end about the core and with the end portions of the strip looped outwardly through said kerfs and with the extremities of the strip disposed beneath the ad- .iacent end convolutions thereof.

6. A temple roller comprising a core having an axial opening therethrough for receiving a supporting pin and provided with offset kerfs in its opposite ends, and a renewable surface winding comprising a strip of pliable material wound helically from end to end about the core, the opposite ends of said strip being looped outwardly through said kerfs and with the extremities disposed beneath the adjacent convolutions of the strip.

7. The method of covering the core of a temple roller having kerfs in its opposite ends, which consists in looping one end of a pliable strip through the kerf at one end of the core and spirally winding the strip about the roller from said end and over the adjacent extremity of the strip to cover the latter, continuing the spiral winding of the strip throughout substantially the length of the roller, engaging the opposite end portion of the strip through the kerf in the opposite end of the roller with a loop portion between the last convolution and the kerf, twisting said loop portion and winding the same about the core to provide the final convolution in the winding and wrappingvsaid convolutions over the adjacent extremity of the strip to cover the same and hold it firmly to the core, then drawing said extremity of the strip outwardly beneath said final convolution of the winding to draw the winding taut, and finally severing the extremity of the strip adjacent said convolutions for completely covering the final extremity of the wound strip.
