Title: Improvements in and relating to Spinning Spindles and Bearings therefor.
Inventor: CHAPMAN CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1907-01-15
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 1069. Chapman, C. H. Jan. 15. Ball bearings ; supporting or mounting; lubricating.--Spinning- machine spindles are mounted on ball bearings in a bolster supported so that it can yield slightly laterally and longitudinally to enable the spindle to centre itself even when slightly unbalanced, the construction being applicable to bolster and step bearings generally. The upper bearing is provided by balls 9 arranged between a cone 7 fixed on the largest part of the spindle and a cup 10 fixed in the top of the bolster 11, the lower bearing, for the hardened conical end of the spindle, being provided by balls 15 arranged in a step 12 screwed into the lower and smaller end of the bolster. The top and bottom ends of the bolster are an easy slip fit in a tapering sleeve 19, which fits at its upper end only in a bolster support 18 formed with an oil well, thus permitting lateral yield. In this case the sleeve is constructed of a flat metal ribbon wound into a spiral, thus providing the longitudinal yield, and is soldered at an aperture 20 to the support 18. A collar 16 fixed on the spindle retains the balls 15 while the step 12 is screwed into position. The step is provided with central apertures 13 for the escape of sediment from the lubricant, and the bottom of the step is provided with cross-cuts 22, one of which, on adjustment of the step, is brought into adjustment with opposite slits in the bottom of the bolster, these parts being then locked together, and against rotation, by the engagement of an upward central lip at the bottom of the sleeve 19 with the alined cross-cut and slits. The bobbin 1 fits the upper end of the spindle and frictionally engages the wharl base 34 fixed as usual to the spindle, and the wharl 39 is screwed, so that the driving-band serves to tighten it, on to the base from below, thus enabling a wharl of small diameter to be employed in connexion with a bolster ball bearing of large diameter. Oil is supplied through a channel 28, and passes between the spiral coils of the sleeve and through a hole in the bolster, the centrifugal force, assisted by the taper of the spindle and the cone 7 provided with a ledge 8, raising some of it to the bolster bearing. In some cases, the sleeve 19 is made of sheet metal and is surrounded by yielding material, such as a woollen tube, where it fits in the base. Rotation of the sleeve is then prevented, and longitudinal yield is permitted, by which a set-screw loosely enters a hole in the sleeve ; another hole for the passage of the oil is provided in the sleeve opposite to the oil channel in the bolster supports.
