Manufacturer, and John Bethel Mill Manager all of the City of Manchester
in the County of Lancaster for an invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN OR

Eustace Hulton & John Bethel at the Offico of the Commissioners of Patents

IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO SECTIONAL WARPING AND BEAMING MACHINES
This Invention relates to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines and has for
its object the attainment of a uniform speed for the yarn while it is being wound
upon the section and the prevention of injury to the yarn by the presser
In carrying out our Invention we mount the section block upon an axis or shaft
carried by a radial arm or arms in such a manner that the Section block is free to
move through the arc of a circle-The radial arms are fixed upon the Sector shaft
of the apparatus for which Letters Patent were granted to us dated fourteenth
December one thousand eight hundred and eighty-Number 5234.
The driving pulley which also serves as a presser is so arranged or placed that it
drives the section by its periphery which is in contact with the Section. The
method of mounting the section block on radial arms permits it to recede from the
driving pulley as the diameter of the Section is increased-By this method of
driving the section the uniform motion of the periphery of the driving pulley is
transferred to the yarn and a uniform rate of winding or feed of yarn ensues.
Instead of mounting the Section block on an axis or shaft carried by radial arms
as before described the driving pulley may be so mounted in which case the Section
block runs upon a fixed axis or is placed upon a shaft running in fixed bearings
and motion is communicated to the driving pulley or presser by suitable belting or
gearing from the axis carrying the radial arms.

MENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO SECTIONAL WARPING AND BEAMING MACHINES

This Invention relates to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines and has for
ita object the attainment of an uniform speed for the yarn while it is being wound
upon the Section and the prevention of injury to the yarn by the presser.
In carrying out our Invention we mount the section block upon an axis or shaft
carried by a radial arm or arms in such a manner that the section block is free to
move through the arc of a circle. The radial arms are fixed upon the Sector Shaft
of the apparatus for which Letters Patent were granted to us dated fourteenth
December one thousand eight hundred and eighty No. 5234.
The driving pulley which also serves as a pressor is so arranged or placed that
it drives the section by its periphery which is in contact with the section. The
method of mounting the section block on radial arms permits it to recede from the
driving pulley as the diameter of the section is increased. By this method of
driving the section, the uniform notion of the periphery of the driving pulley is
transferred to the yarn and an uniform rate of winding or feed of yarn ensues.
Instead of mounting the Section block on an axis or shaft carried by radial arms
as before described, the driving pulley inay be so mounted in which case the
Section block runs upon a fixed axis or is placed upon a shaft running in fixed
bearings and motion is communicated to the driving pulley or presser by suitable
belting or genring from the axis carrying the radial arins.
And in order that this invention may be more readily understood and carried
into practical effect we have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative of
the invention and will now proceed to describe the same, reference being had to
Buch Drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Fig 1 is a plan. Fig 2 is an end view and Fig 3 is a front view showing the
improvements. In each of the views similar letters are employed to denoto similar
parts.
The radial arms bb are mounted or fixed upon the sector shaft a of the
apparatus shown and described in the Drawings and Specification filed in
pursuance of Letters Patent granted to us No. 6234 bearing date fourteenth
December one thousand eight hundred and eighty hereinbefore referred to. These
radial arms are provided with bearings at their further extrcinities from the sector
shaft for a shaft/carrying the presser pulley d. Motion is imparted to the section
block by the pulley or presser d and the shaft which receives its motion through
the genring Fig 3 from the sector shaft which is driven in its turn by belting
embracing the pulley. Instead of the gearing g friction pulleys or belts and
pulleys or other suitable means may be used, but we prefer toothed gearing and to
employ between the driver g' and the driven g² Fig 2 two intermediato wheels . m.
one of which is always in gear with the driver Z. The intermediate wheels / m
are also constantly in gear but only one of them can be in gear with the driven
wheel g at the same time. This disposition of the toothed wheels constitutes a
reversing motion which is actuated by the handle n
By means of the arrangement described the Section block is driven by the
friction between the presser pulley d and the yarn which is being wound on the
section and it follows that an uniform rate of speed for the yarn will be secured.
Instead of the arrangement of the position of the Section block and presser
:

page_text: pulley described and shewn on the accompanying drawings their positions may be
reversed, that is to say, the Section block may be mounted on shaft fand the
presser pulley on shaft p in which case the driven wheel g³ must also be keyed on
shaft p and the positions of the shafts be modified to suit the substituted
arrangement.
Having thus described the nature of our said Invention and the manner in
which the same may be performed we desire it to be understood that we do not
limit ourselves to the precise details shown and described as the same may be
varied without departing from the nature of our Invention but that we claim for
the purpose of securing an uniform rate of speed for the yarn while being wound
upon the Section block and for the prevention of injury to the yarn by the presser,
substantially as hereinbeforo described and indicated on the accompanying
drawings, the application of the method of driving the section block by friction
or surface driving with a driving pulley or presser in combination with the
Invention herein before referred to for which Letters Patent No. 5234 of 1880
were granted to us.
In witness whereof I the said Eustace Hulton on my own behalf and on
behalf of the said John Christmas Sewell and John Bethel have hereunto
set my hand and seal this Eleventh day of October in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
EUSTACE HULTON. (L.S.)
