Abstract
The cover for the retaining member of a temple has a threaded rod either rotatably or fixedly attached to each cover leg. The threaded rod rests on the fabric. The rod preceding the retaining member in the direction of advance of the fabric advances the point at which the spreading effect of the temple becomes operative. The threaded rod affixed to the leg of the cover which follows the retaining member in the direction of advance of the fabric relieves the retaining member of load and thereby decreases the possibility of damage to the fabric. The cover with threaded rods is useful whether the retaining member contacts the bottom of the fabric, with the cover on top, or the retaining member contacts the top side, with the cover below, and the threaded rods riding on the underside of the fabric.
