County of Lancaster for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR
SPINNING AND DOUBLING TEXTILE MATERIALS
"
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION filed by the said William John Kinder at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 13th October 1883.
WILLIAM JOHN KINDER of Harpurhey, Manchester. in the County of
Lancaster, "IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING TEXTILE
MATERIALS
"2
My Invention relates to the Throstles and other machines employed in the
spinning and doubling of cotton, wool, flax and other textile materials. I dispense
with the ordinary revolving spindle carrying a flyer and mount the flyer to revolve
in a part which is above the bobbin, tube or spindle upon which the yarn is wound'
the bearing of the flyer running in an annular oil cup and the yarn or roving
passing through the centre of the flyer and cup.
In order that my Invention may be fully understood I have attached hereto a
sheet of drawings illustrative of the arrangement which I apply to an ordinary
Throstle frame. In the said drawings Fig 1 which is partly in section is a side
view and Fig 2 is a plan of a flyer and its mounting constructed in accordance
with my Invention. In the said Figs a is a flyer which is carried by a bracket or
fixing b which is bolted or secured to the ordinary roller beam or to a convenient
part of the framing being varied in form to suit the requirements or the method
of fixing. In the head of this bracket is formed a recess or cup to contain oil and
from the bottom of this recess projects a tubular shell or pap c which is turned on
its outer surface. A wharve d is formed with a hollow boss d¹ which is bored and
turned to run upon the shell c and to bear upon the turned bottom of the oil cup
or recess. In the said wharve is fixed a tube e which extends downwards through
the shell c and is screwed at its lower end to receive the flyer or is otherwise
suitably prepared so that the flyer can be fixed thereto. In lieu of this construc-
tion the tube e may be formed in one piece with the whave or be an extension of
the head of the flyer. The wharve is formed with a flanch which serves as a cover

page_text: to prevent the splashing over of the oil. A platef extends over this flanch and
can be pressed down upon the flanch by means of a screw which is provided with
a lever or key g. When so pressed down the plate acts a brake to stop the
revolving of the flyer. I may employ a cam to press a brake against the flanch or
the body of the wharve. The wharve is driven by means of a band in any
suitable manner. Figs 3 and 4 are diagrams which illustrate two methods of
driving Fig 3 being a method I should adopt in new frames and Fig 4 an arrange-
ment suitable for use when altering old frames. The yarn or roving passes
through the tube e and the head of the flyer to the flyer curl. The bobbin i may
be mounted upon the dead spindle or upon a simple peg or upon a tube or collar
mounted upon a dead spindle or upon a spindle which is permitted to revolve as
preferred. When constructing new frames the oil cups or recesses may be formed
in an extension of the roller beam or in a rail or in a part secured to a rail according
to circumstances or as preferred. It will be seen that as the part which bears upon
the shell or pap c runs in the oil or lubricant in the cup the bearing will be well
lubricated for a long period without requiring attention. When the oil becomes
thick or dirty the cup can be quickly cleaned out and replenished with oil. I may
form the wharve to enclose the outer wall of the oil cup in order that the pull of
the band shall be more in line with the bearing. I do not confine myself
to the precise form. of flyer as represented as any suitable form of flyer may be
used.
Having now fully set forth and indicated the nature of my Invention and the
manner in which I propose to carry the same into practical effect I would have it
to be understood that I claim :-
First. The combination of parts constructed and acting substantially as and for
the purposes set forth and indicated hereinbefore and in and by the accompanying
drawings.
And secondly. A flyer for spinning or doubling formed upon or secured to the
lower end of a tube which passes through a tubular shell projecting from the
bottom of the oil cup and is formed upon or connected with a wharve which has a
tubular bearing which runs on the said tubular shell and is lubricated by lubricant
contained in the cup substantially as set forth and indicated.
In witness whereof I the said William John Kinder have hereunto set my hand
and seal this twelfth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eight-three.
