We WILLIAM THOMAS STUBBS and JOSEPH HETHERINGTON STUBBS both of Mill
Street, Ancoats, Manchester in the County of Lancaster Machine Makers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The first part of our invention relates to winding machines for winding yarns or
threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind yarn or
thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without heads.
According to this part of our invention we employ a plate or disc mounted fast
upon a shaft supported in a suitable bearing or suitable bearings across the face of
which plate or disc we form a slot or guide upon or in which and capable of being
slidden thereon or therein is a bar. One end of the said bar is provided with a stud
on which is mounted a bowl which as the plate or disc revolves is carried around a
cam situate at the back of the plate or disc before mentioned. The opposite end
of the bar above referred to is provided with a stud or pin passing into a block
capable of being slidden in a slot formed in a bar or rod capable of being
slidden in or upon guides which may be secured to the cam before referred
to. We provide the bar or rod previously referred to with a pin or stud upon
which is mounted a block capable of being slidden in a slot in the traverse rail of the
winding machine or in a bar or rod connected in any suitable manner to the traverse
rail of the winding machine. As the disc or plate above mentioned is revolved the
bowl above referred to being carried around the can aforesaid will traverse the
bar previously mentioned across the plate or disc and the said cam being made of
suitable form the bar or rod above mentioned will be slidden backwards and forwards
and by means of the pin or stud carried by the said bar or rod will cause the traverse
rail of the winding machine to be traversed backwards and forwards and thus guide
the yarn or thread on to the bobbin spool or tube in the required manner.
When it
is desired to change the length of the traverse of the yarn or thread upon the
bobbin spool or tube we change the position of the cam and the bar or rod above
mentioned and by so doing cause the motion of the traverse rail to be altered. In.

page_text: cases in which it is desired to wind the yarn or thread upon a spool or tube in the
form of a cylinder provided with taper or conical ends we turn the cam and bar or rod
above mentioned as may be required by means of a worm and wheel or wheels or
wheels and catches or any other suitable mechanism.
In those cases in which it is not desired to change the length of the traverse of the
yarn or thread upon the bobbin spool or tube the pin upon the bar previously
mentioned may pass into a slot formed in the traverse rail of the winding machine
or into a slot formed in a bar connected in any suitable manner to the traverse rail of
the winding machine.
A further part of our invention also relates to winding machines for winding yarns
or threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind yarn or
thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without heads.
According to this part of our invention we mount fast upon one end of a short shaft
an arm formed with a slot in which and capable of being slidden therein is a block.
Projecting from opposite sides of the said block are studs one of which studs
projects into a grooved cam mounted so as to be capable of being turned upon the
short shaft before mentioned. One of the studs before mentioned passes through a
slot formed in one end of a lever turning upon a stud, the other end of which lever is
connected to the traverse rail of the winding machine by means of a bracket through
which the said lever passes, or by means of a connecting rod jointed at one end to the
said lever and at the other end to the traverse rail of the winding machine. By means
of suitable shafts and gearing which receive motion from any convenient and suitable
part of the machine we cause the short shaft and the cam above mentioned to be
rotated in opposite directions. As the arm and the cam rotate the said cam will by
means of the stud which passes into the groove of the said cam cause such stud to at
times approach towards or recede from the axis of the short shaft before mentioned,
while rotating around the said cam. The other stud before mentioned which passes
through the slot in the lever previously referred to will by its rotation cause the said
lever to oscillate upon the stud upon which it is mounted and cause the traverse rail to
be traversed backwards and forwards and by employing a cam of suitable form the
yarn or thread may be caused to be wound upon the bobbin or spool in the required
manner. In order be "build" a longer or shorter spool or tube we adjust the position
of the stud upon which the lever above mentioned oscillates, farther from or nearer to
the axis of the short shaft before referred to by means of a slot or slots formed in the
said arm.
In some cases we employ a spring which spring tends to keep the stud which
projects into the groove of the cam above mentioned in contact with one side of the
groove of such cam.
A further part of our invention also relates to winding machines for winding yarns
or threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind yarn or
thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without heads and this
part of our invention consists in an arrangement of the cradle which carries the
bobbins whereby either a parallel or conical" spool" or "tube" may be wound. In
carrying this part of our invention into effect we form the cradle in two portions
secured together in any convenient manner such that one portion may be so placed
relatively to the other portion that the spindle upon which is placed the spool or tube
upon which the yarn or thread is to be wound may be placed at any desired angle to the
axis of the winding drum. In some cases we provide one end of the cradle with two
or more recesses to receive one end of the spindle upon which placed the spool or
tube upon which the yarn or thread is to be wound and by so doing enable the said
spindle to be placed at an angle relatively to the axis of the winding drum. By means
of either of these arrangements we are, enabled to wind yarn or thread upon a conical
spool or tube in a winding frame having cylindrical drums.
A further part of our invention relates to machinery or apparatus for winding or
reeling yarns or threads and consists in arrangements by means of which we subject
the yarn or thread to tension while such yarn or thread is being unwound from tubes
or spools. In carrying this part of our invention into effect we mount each of the

page_text: tubes or spools from which the yarn or thread is being unwound upon a peg fixed or
secured to any convenient part of the winding machine or reel. We secure to a bar or
rail or to any other convenient part of or attached to the winding machine or reel one
end of each of a number of springs the other end of each of which springs presses
upon the upper part of the tube or spool from which the yarn or thread is being
unwound. The yarn or thread while being unwound from each spool or tube
requiring to pass between the upper part of the spool or tube and the spring pressing
thereon will be retarded and thus the yarn or thread will be subjected to tension while
being unwound from the spool or tube.
A further part of our invention also relates to machinery or apparatus for winding
or reeling yarns or threads and consists in arrangements by means of which we subject
the yarn or thread to tension while such yarn or thread is being unwound from tubes
or spools.
In carrying this part of our invention into effect we cause the yarn or thread while
being wound or rooled to pass through a guide wire or guide wires which guide wire
or guide wires we so form that the yarn or thread will while passing through such guide
wire or guide wires be caused to take a tortuous course and thus a "drag" or tension
will be put upon the yarn or thread while such yarn or thread is being unwound
from the spool or tube.
In soine cases we employ the above described arrangement of spring pressing upon
the upper part of the spool or tube and in conjunction therewith the above described
arrangement of guide wire or guide-wires.

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Winding or Reeling
Yarns or Threads.
We WILLIAM THOMAS STUBBS and JOSEPH HETHERINGTON STUBBS both of Mill
Street, Ancoats, Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Machine Makers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
The first part of our invention relates to winding machines for winding yarns or
threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind yarn or
thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without heads.
According to this part of our invention we employ a plate or disc mounted fast
upon a shaft supported in a suitable bearing or suitable bearings across the face of
which plate or disc we form a slot or guide upon or in which and capable of being
slidden thereon or therein is a bar-One end of the said bar is provided with a stud
on which is mounted a bowl which as the plate or disc revolves is carried around a
cam situate at the back of the plate or disc before mentioned-The opposite end of
the bar above referred to is provided with a stud or pin passing into a block capable of
being slidden in a slot formed in a bar or rod capable of being slidden in or upon
guides which may be secured to the cam before referred to-We provide the bar or
rod previously referred to with a pin or stud upon which is mounted a block capable
of being slidden in a slot in the traverse-rail of the winding machine or in a bar or
rod connected in any suitable manner to the traverse-rail of the winding machine-As
the disc or plate above mentioned is revolved the bowl above referred to being carried
around the cam aforesaid will traverse the bar previously mentioned across the plate
or disc and the said cam being made of suitable form the bar or rod above mentioned
will be slidden backwards and forwards and by means of the pin or stud carried by
the said bar or rod will cause the traverse-rail of the winding machine to be traversed
backwards and forwards and thus guide the yarn or thread on to the bobbin spool or
tube in the required manner-When it is desired to change the length of the traverse
of the yarn or thread upon the bobbin, spool or tube we change the position of the
cam and the bar or rod above mentioned and by so doing cause the motion of the
traverse-rail to be altered.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is an end
elevation partly in section of so much of a winding machine as is requisite to illustrate
the first part of our invention-Fig. 3 is a plan partly in section of a portion of that
which is shown in Figs. 1 and 2-The same letters of reference are applied to
corresponding parts throughout Figs. 1. 2 and 3.
a is one end-frame of the machine to which end-frame a are secured brackets b, b
supported by and capable of being rotated in which is a shaft c-Fast upon the
shaft c we mount a plate or disc d across the face of the plate or disc d we form a slot

page_text: or guide in which slot or guide and capable of being slidden longitudinally therein is
a bar e-To the bar e is secured a stud which carries a bowl g free to be rotated on
the said stud f-To the bar e is secured a stud h which carries a bowl j free to be
rotated on the said stud h.
Through the plate or disc d is formed a slot through which the portion e¹ of the
bar e upon which the bowls g,j are mounted projects. Mounted upon the shaft c is a
disc or plate k to the face of which is secured a cam I, such cam passing between
the bowl and the bowl -Upon the bar e is formed a boss e in which is formed a
hole into which passes a pin m³ formed upon a bracket m formed with a jaw m² which
embraces a bar n³ formed upon a bar n capable of being slidden longitudinally in
guides formed in a frame o secured by bolts o' to the bracket To the frame o is
secured the disc or plate k-For a purpose to be hereinafter referred to the bracket b¹
is provided with curved slots 2 through which the bolts o¹ pass-Formed in the bar n
is a hole passing into which hole and free to turn therein is a stud pl upon a bracket P
upon which are formed jaws p2 which embrace the sides of a lover or arm q mounted
at its lower end upon a short shaft carried by and capable of being turned in
brackets s secured to the end-frame a-The upper end of the lever or arm 9 passes
between jaws formed on a part t provided with a stud 2 which passes into a hole
formed in a boss u¹ formed on a bar u supported by and capable of being slidden in
guides and the guide v being secured to the end frame a of the machine and the
guide to a bar or rod w extending lengthwise of the machine and secured at its
ends to the end-frames of the machine- is the traverse-rail one end of which is
secured to the bar u-Extending lengthwise of the machine and capable of being
rotated in bearings secured to the framework of the machine is a shaft y upon which
are mounted the winding drums -Mounted fast upon the shaft y is a pulley 1 which
by means of an endless band 2 transmits rotary motion to a pulley 3 fast upon a
shaft 4 carried by and capable of being rotated in brackets 5 secured to a "spring
piece" 6 of the machine-Fast upon the shaft 4 is a pulley 7 which by means of an
endless band 8 transmits rotary motion to a pulley 9 fast upon the shaft c-
-The
pulleys 3. 7 and 9 are indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
2'
As the disc or plate d is revolved and with it the bar e and bowls g j mounted
thereon the bowls gj will be carried around the cam 7 and will traverse the bar e to
and fro across the disc or plate d and by means of the pin m¹ and the jaw m² cause
the bar n to be slidden backwards and forwards in the guides formed in the frame o-
The backward and forward movement of the bar n will by means of the stud p¹ and
jaw 2 cause the lever or arm 9 and the shaft r to be oscillated-The lever or arm q
acting on the jaw 1, pin t2 and the bar u will cause the bar u and traverse-rail x to be
traversed to and fro longitudinally in the guides v, v and thus by means of the
guides a guide the yarn or thread on to the hobbins spools or tubes in the required
manner When it is desired to change the length of the traverse of the yarn or
thread upon the bobbins, spools or tubes we slacken the screws or bolts o' and turn
the frame o and bars n around the shaft c into the position necessary the curved
slots allowing such turning of the frame o and bars n, n¹ to be accomplished-After
the frame o and bars n, n¹ have been turned into the position for causing the traverse-
rail to be traversed to and fro longitudinally the desired amount the frame o is
secured to the bracket & by the bolts o¹.
In cases in which it is desired to wind the yarn or thread upon a spool or tube in
the form of a cylinder provided with taper or conical ends we turn the frame o, cam !
and bar n in the direction indicated by the arrow A at such rate as may be required
during the winding of the yarn or thread upon the spool or tube by means of a worm
and wheel or wheels, or wheels and catches or any other suitable mechanism-Such
turning of the frame o cam and barn will cause the yarn or thread to be wound
upon the spool or tube in the form of a cylinder provided with taper or conical ends-
After the winding of one "set" of spools or tubes has been completed the frame o
will require to be returned to the position in which it is shown in Figs. 1 and 2
before the winding of a fresh "set" of spools or tubes is commenced.
In winding machines in which it is not desired to change the length of the traverse

page_text: of the yarn or thread upon the bobbin, spool or tube the jaw m² may embrace the
lever or arm q and in such cases we do not require the bars n, n¹ and frame o.
A further part of our invention also relates to winding machines for winding
yarns or threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind
yarn or thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without
heads.
According to this part of our invention we mount fast upon one end of a short
shaft an arm formed with a slot in which and capable of being slidden therein is a
block Projecting from opposite sides of the said block are studs one of which studs
projects into a grooved cam mounted so as to be capable of being turned upon the
short shaft before mentioned-One of the studs before mentioned passes through a
slot formed in one end of a lever turning upon a stud, the other end of which lever is
connected to the traverse-rail of the winding machine by means of a bracket through
which the said lever passes, or by means of a connecting rod jointed at one end to the
said lever and at the other end to the traverse-rail of the winding machine-By
means of suitable shafts and gearing which receive motion from any convenient and
suitable part of the machine we cause the short shaft and the cam above mentioned to
be rotated in opposite directions-As the arm and the cam rotate the said cam will by
means of the stud which passes into the groove of the said cam cause such stud to at
times approach towards or recede from the axis of the short shaft before mentioned,
while rotating around the said cam-The other stud before mentioned which passes
through the slot in the lever previously referred to will by its rotation cause the said
lever to oscillate upon the stud upon which it is mounted and cause the traverse-rail
to be traversed backwards and forwards and by employing a cam of suitable form the
yarn or thread may be caused to be wound upon the bobbin or spool in the required
manner.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation and Fig. 5a side view of so much of a machine for
winding yarns or threads as is requisite to illustrate this portion of our invention and
Fig. 6 shows detached and partly in section a portion of that which is shown in
Figs. 4 and 5.
10 is one end-frame of the machine, to which end-frame 10 are secured brackets 11. 11ª
supported by which and capable of being rotated therein is a short shaft 12-Fast
upon one end of the shaft 12 is an arm 13 formed in which is a guide or slot in which
and capable of being sliden therein is a slide or block 14. Projecting from the slide
or block 14 are studs 15. 16. The stud 15 projects into a groove 17ª formed in a
cam 17 mounted so as to be free to be rotated upon the shaft 12-The stud 16 passes
into a slot 18s formed in one end of a lever 18 capable of being turned upon a
stud 19ª carried by a bracket 19 secured to the end-frame 10-The end 18° of the
lever 18 is embraced by jaws 20ª formed in a plate 20 on which is formed a stud 20°
which passes into a hole formed in the traverse rail 21 one end of which is capable 4
of being slidden longitudinally in slots in brackets 22 one of which is secured to the
end-frame 10 while the other is secured to a beam 10ª secured to the end-frame 10 and
extending lengthwise of the machine.
In some cases we connect the end 18b of the lever 18 to the traverse-rail 21 by
means of a connecting rod jointed at one end to the lever 18 and jointed at the other 4
end to the traverse-rail 21.
Fast with the cam 17 is a bevel wheel 17-Fast upon the shaft 12 is a bevel
wheel 23. 24 and 25 are drum shafts which receive rotary motion in any convenient
manner. Fast upon the drum shaft 24 is a bevel wheel 26 which gears into a bevel
wheel 27 fast upon the end of a shaft 28 supported at its upper end by a bracket 295
secured to the beam 10-The lower end of the shaft 28 is supported by a bracket 30
formed upon the bracket 11-Fast upon the lower end of the shaft 28 is a bevel
wheel 31 which gears into the bevel wheels 17 and 23-The rotation of the bevel
wheel 31 will cause the bevel wheels 17, 23 to turn in opposite directions thereby
causing the shaft 12 and cam 17 to be turned in opposite directions-As the arm 13 5
and the cam 17 are rotated the cam 17 will by means of the stud 15 passing into the
groove 17ª cause the stud 15 to at times approach towards or recede from the axis of

page_text: the shaft 12 while moving around the cam 17--The stud 16 will by its revolution
cause the lever 18 to oscillate upon the stud 19ª and cause the traverse-rail 21 to be
traversed backwards and forwards and by employing a cam 17 with a groove 17ª of
suitable form the yarn or thread may be caused to be wound upon the bobbin, spool
or tube in the required manner.
In order to build a longer or shorter spool or tube we adjust the position of the
stud 19" so that such stud 19ª may be farther from or nearer to the axis of the shaft 12
before referred to by means of a slot or slots formed in the lever 18 or in any other
convenient manner.
In some cases we employ a spring which spring tends to keep the stud 15 which
projects into the groove 17ª of the cam 17 above mentioned in contact with one side
of the groove 17 of such cam 17.
In some cases we employ spur wheels or other suitable equivalents for the bevel
wheels for imparting rotary motion to the cam 17 and shaft 12.

A further part of our invention also relates to winding machines for winding yarns
or threads and is particularly applicable to such winding machines as wind yarn or
thread into a cylindrical or conical form on to spools or tubes without heads and this
part of our invention consists in an arrangement of the cradle which carries the
bobbins whereby either a parallel or conical spool" or "tube" may be wound-In
carrying this part of our invention into effect we form the cradle in two portions
secured together in any convenient manner such that one portion may be so placed
relatively to the other portion that the spindle upon which is placed the spool or tube
upon which the yarn or thread is to be wound may be placed at any desired angle to
the axis of the winding drum-This part of our invention is illustrated by Figs. 7,
8 and 9 of the accompanying drawings-Fig. 7 being a front elevation of a cradle
constructed according to this part of our invention-Figs. 8 and 9 are end views of
that which is shewn in Fig. 7-32 is the stud or pin upon which the cradle 33 is
supported and upon which it is capable of being oscillated-We form the cradle 33 of
two portions 33 and 33-Through the lower end of the portion 33 of the cradle 33
is formed a hole through which the stud or pin 32 passes. We form a curved slot 33°
through the portion 33 of the cradle 33 through which slot 33 and a hole formed in
a projecting part 33d formed on the portion 33" of the cradle 33 is passed a bolt 34 by
means of which the portions 33 and 33° of the cradle 33 may be secured together-
When the bolt 34 is slackened the portion 33b of the cradle 33 may be placed at an
angle relatively to the portion 33% of the cradle 33 as illustrated in Fig. 8 so that the
spindle 35 upon which is placed the spool or tube upon which the yarn or thread is to
be wound may be placed at any desired angle to the axis of the winding drum-The
spindle 35 is indicated by dotted lines in Figs. 7 and 8. After the portion 33 of the
cradle 33 has been placed in the desired position relatively to the portion 33ª of
the cradle 33 the said portion 33 is secured in such position by the bolt 34 being
tightened When yarn or thread is to be wound into a bobbin or spool of conical form
a conical spool or tube is placed upon the spindle 35.
In some cases we provide one end of the cradle with two or more recesses to receive
one end of the spindle upon which is placed the spool or tube upon which the yarn
or thread is to be wound and by so doing enable the spindle to be placed at an angle
relatively to the axis of the winding drum.
upon
This portion of our invention is illustrated by Figs. 10. 11 and 12 of the accom-
panying drawings Fig. 10 being a front view, Fig. 11 a side view and Fig. 12 a plan
of that which is shown in Fig. 10-36 is a bobbin cradle-One of the ends of such
cradle 36 we provide with two recesses 36° 36° to receive one end of the spindle 37
which is placed the tube or spool upon which the yarn or thread is to be wound-
When one end of the spindle 37 is placed in the recess 36ª and the other end of the
said spindle 37 in the recess 36° a cylindrical spool or tube may be caused to be
wound When one end of the spindle 37 is placed in the recess 36° and the other
end of the spindle 37 is placed in the recess 36° and a conical tube or spool 38 is
placed upon the spindle 37 so that the surface 38" of the conical tube or spool 38 is
parallel to the surface of the winding drum, a conical "spool" or "tube" may be

page_text: wound upon the conical tube or spool 38-Although the end 36d of the cradle is
shown as being formed with two recesses 36° 36° three or more of such recesses may
be formed in such end 36d of the cradle 36.
By means of either of the arrangements illustrated by Figs. 7. 8 and 9 and by
Figs. 10, 11 and 12 we are enabled to wind yarn or thread upon a conical spool or
tube in a winding frame having cylindrical drums.
A further part of our invention relates to machinery or apparatus for winding or
reeling yarns or threads and consists in arrangements by means of which we subject
the yarn or thread to tension while such yarn or thread is being unwound from tubes
or spools In carrying this part of our invention into effect we cause the yarn or
thread while being wound or reeled to pass through a guide-wire or guide-wires which
guide-wire or guide-wires we so form that the yarn or thread will while passing through
such guide-wire or guide-wires be caused to take a tortuous course and thus a "drag"
or tension will be put upon the yarn or thread while such yarn or thread is being
unwound from the spool or tube-Figs. 13 and 14 of the accompanying drawings
illustrate the method of carrying this part of our invention into effect-Fig. 13 being
a side elevation and Fig. 14 a front view of that which is shewn in Fig. 13-39 is the
spool or tube from which the yarn or thread indicated by the line B B is to be
unwound. Screwed into the bar or rail 40 or secured to any other convenient part of
the winding machine or reel is the guide-wire 41 bent into the form indicated in
Figs. 13 and 14 of the drawings or into any other form by which the yarn or thread
will while passing through such guide-wire 41 be caused to take a tortuous course and
thus a drag or tension will be put upon the yarn or thread while such yarn or thread
is being unwound from the spool or tube 39-If necessary the yarn or thread while
being unwound from the tube or spool 39 may be passed through two or more
guide-wires the same as or similar to that shown in Figs. 13 and 14.
