Preparing, Doubling, and other Twisting Machinery.
We, GEORGE RYDER of Turner Bridge Iron Works, Tonge, Roller and Tool
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM LONGWORTH of 239 Folds Road, Engineer, both of
Bolton in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of rollers employed in
machinery known as Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving, Drawing, Throstle, Mule,
Doublers, and other machinery for preparing, spinning, and doubling cotton and
other fibrous substances, and has for its object that of providing ready and efficient
means for coupling them together, at the same time allowing of the same being
made singly and interchangeable, thereby dispensing with the inconvenience of con-
structing them from one another continuously as under the present systern.
This we accomplish by providing one end of the said rollers with a hole tapered for
a suitable distance, after which the remaining part is bored parallel. In this hole fits
a corresponding end provided on the roller coupling to it, being driven in so as to
fasten with the taper given to it. The external end of the spigot end of the roller
is provided with a polygonal or other end which fits into a corresponding slot or recess
in the internal end of the hole or faucet, which forms the driving medium between
the rollers coupled, and so on for any desired number or length. If desired the
roller can be provided with a spigot at each end and the rollers coupling to it with
a faucet at each end and so on. In case two rollers become slack accuracy in
revolving is ensured by the parallel end of the spigot fitting the parallel hole in the
faucet.
In another modification we couple them by means of a loose boss or coupling
provided with slots fitting on corresponding ends on the rollers; or the rollers can
be provided with parallel ends with slots and projections to drive the same, being held
together by a suitable metallic boss or coupling shrunk on.

We, GEORGE RYDER of Turner Bridge Iron Works, Tonge, Roller and Tool
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM LONGWORTH of 239 Folds Road, Engineer, both of
Bolton in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of rollers employed in
machinery known as Drawing, Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving, Throstle, Mule,
Doubling, and other machinery for preparing, spinning and doubling cotton and
other fibrous substances, and has for its object that of providing ready and efficient
means for coupling them together, at the same time allowing of the same being 1
made singly and interchangeable, thereby dispensing with the inconvenience of con-
structing them from one another continuously as under the present system.
This we accomplish by providing one end of the said rollers with a hole tapered for
a suitable distance, after which the remaining part is bored parallel. In this hole fits
a corresponding end provided on the roller coupling to it, being driven in so as to
fasten with the taper given to it. The external end of the spigot end of the roller is
provided with a polygonal or other end which fits into a corresponding slot or recess
in the internal end of the hole or faucet, which forms the driving medium between the
rollers coupled, and so on for any desired number or length. If desired the roller can
be provided with a spigot at each end, and the rollers coupling to it with a faucet at i
each end and so on. In case two rollers become slack accuracy in revolving is ensured
by the parallel end of the spigot fitting the parallel hole in the faucet.
In another modification we couple them by moans of a loose boss or coupling
provided with slots fitting on corresponding ends on the rollers; or the rollers can be
provided with parallel ends with slots and projections to drive the same, being held 2
together by a suitable metallic boss or coupling shrunk on.
Fig. 1 is a part sectional elevation of a modification of our invention, and Fig. 2 is
an end view of the faucet with the spigot removed.
A. A. are the rollers, one end of which is provided with the hole B tapered from C
to D, the remaining part from D to E being parallel, in which fits the corresponding 3
end or spigot G of the roller A coupling to it. The external end H of the spigot G
is constructed to fit in the slots I in the internal end of the hole B, which forms the
driving medium between the said rollers when coupled together in case the tapered
parts become slack. The rollers A. A. are driven together so as to lock or fasten
themselves by the taper given to them. In case the rollers become slack they are 3
driven by the end H in the slots I, and accuracy in revolving is ensured by the parallel
end of the spigot G fitting the hole B from D to E; the rollers being held in position
by the necks J working in the ordinary bearings.

page_text: Fig. 3 is a modification of our invention wherein the parallel hole B from D to E is
chased to receive the screwed end H of the spigot G, by which the taper end of the
spigot G is locked fast by screwing the same together, and as the screw is chased in
the direction of the motion of the rollers the taper ended spigot G is firmly locked in
the hole B, by which all liability to become slack is prevented, the tendency being
always to press the taper parts tighter together. The screwed end H fits perfectly slack
in the chased hole B, and as the same time does not bottom the rollers are driven
exclusively by friction between the tapered end G and faucet B.
Fig. 4 is an end view of the faucet B with the spigot G removed.
If desired the rollers A. A. can be provided with the spigot G at each end, as in
Fig. 5, the rollers coupling to it being provided with the faucet B at each end.
Fig. 6 is a modification wherein we employ the roller A¹ with the bosses or
couplings L provided with the slots K, in which fit the corresponding ends M on the
bosses of the rollers A. The roller A¹ is bored parallel in which fits the projecting
ends P of the rollers A, by which accuracy and position are maintained.
Figs. 7 and 8 are sectional elevations through lines R. S. and T. W. respectively
in Fig. 6.
Fig. 9 is a modification wherein the rollers A are provided with the parallel ends U
and ; the end U having the projection Y fitting into the slot Z in the end X, which
forms the driving medium between the rollers A. A. The rollers A are held together
by the metallic boss Q shrunk on over the parallel ends U and ✗; a portion of the
outside of the boss Q forming the roller A³. Fig. 10 is a sectional elevation through
line M' N' in Fig. 9.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is
1. Coupling or joining together rollers employed in spinning, preparing, doubling,
and other twisting machinery by means of the tapered and parallel spigot G, tapered
and parallel hole B, end H, and slots I, the whole being constructed and arranged
so as to allow of the rollers being made singly and interchangeable, applied and
operating substantially as described and as shown on the drawings in Figs. 1 and 2.
2. Coupling or joining together rollers employed in spinning, preparing, doubling,
and other twisting machinery by means of the tapered spigot G, tapered hole B,
parallel screwed end H, and parallel chased hole or recess B, constructed to lock or
grip the same together by the revolving movement of the rollers, which also allows
of the same being made singly and interchangeable, applied and operating sub-
stantially as described and shown on the drawings in Figs. 3, 4, and 5.
3. The use and construction of the respective combinations and arrangements for
coupling or joining together rollers employed in spinning, preparing, doubling, and
other twisting machinery, applied and operating substantially as described and shown
on the drawings in Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
