PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Spindle Sockets of Ring
Spinning Frames.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS, Machine Maker, RICHARD ALEXANDER
DOXEY, Machine Maker, and THOMAS GOODBEHERE, Manager, all of The
Union Iron Works, West Gorton, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the parts of the spindle socket by which oil is admitted
to lubricate the spindle and by which the spindle is held in position or prevented
rising out of its socket.
It consists essentially in constructing the spindle socket with the oil tube placed
at such a distance behind or away from the collar as to allow the traverse rail to
fall between them in combination with a lever of L or other convenient shape
actuated by a spring and pivoted to move in an horizontal plane which serves as a
cover for the oil tube and as a lever to hold the spindle in position.
In carrying out the invention the horizontal part of the oil tube is carried out
at the back of the socket a distance equal to the width of the traverse rail so as to
adinit of the rail passing down between the spindle collar and the vertical oil tube.
The vertical oil tube is then carried up to a height almost equivalent to the level
of the collar so as to maintain the level of the oil in the socket at or near the top
of the tube therein. Between the spindle collar and the vertical oil tube is placed
a pillar lug projection or the like above which is pivoted an L. U or other
conveniently shaped lever. This lever is pivoted to move in a horizontal plane
and is provided at one end with a cap or cover for the vertical oil tube and at
the other projects over the wharve of the spindle to prevent it rising out of position.
In the pillar upon which the lever is pivoted is placed a spring of coiled wire or
the like which returns the lever to its normal position, when moved to uncover the
oil tube or to release the spindle.

Improvements in or connected with the Spindle Sockets of Ring
Spinning Frames.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS, of The Union Iron Works, West Gorton,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Machine Maker, SARAH MARIA DOXEY,
Sole Executrix of the late RICHARD ALEXANDER DOXEY, deceased, of Slade
House, Levenshulme, Manchester, aforesaid, and THOMAS GOODBEHERE, of
The Union Iron Works, aforesaid, Manager, 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:-
This invention relates to the parts of the spindle socket by which oil is admitted

page_text: to lubricate the spindle and by which the spindle is held in position or prevented
rising out of its socket.
It consists essentially in constructing the spindle socket with the oil tube placed
at such a distance behind or away from the collar as to allow the traverse rail to
fall between them in combination with a lever of L or other convenient shape
actuated by a spring and pivoted to move in a horizontal plane which serves as a
cover for the oil tube and as a lever to hold the spindle in position.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. Side elevation.
Fig. 2. Side elevation partly in section.
The spindle socket A is constructed with an oil tube placed at the back. The
horizontal part B of the oil tube is carried beyond the back of the socket A
a distance equal to the width of the traverse rail.
At the end of the horizontal oil tube B is an upright or vertical tube C through
which the oil is supplied. The vertical oil tube C is carried up to a height almost
equivalent to the top of the collar so as to maintain the level of the oil in the
socket at or near the top of the tube therein.
The distance between the vertical oil tube C and the socket A being greater
than the width of the traverse rail permits of the rail passing down between the
spindle collar a and the oil tube C.
Between the spindle socket A and the vertical oil tube C we construct or place
a pillar or projecting lug D to which is pivoted a lever or bracket E of such a
shape as to engage at one end with the spindle wharve F and at the other end with
the top of the oil supply tube C.
The lever E is pivoted upon the stud or pin d to move in a horizontal plane and
is provided at one end with a cap or cover e for the oil tube C and at the other end
with a catch el which projects over the wharve F of the spindle G to prevent it
being raised out of position during the operation of doffing.
Around the stud or pivot d in the top of the pillar D is placed a spring H of
coiled wire or the like which acts to return the lever E to its normal position when
it has been moved to uncover the top of the oil tube C or to remove or insert a
spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A spindle socket for ring frames having the oil supply tube placed at such a
distance behind the collar as to allow the traverse rail to fall between them in
combination with a spring actuated lever of such a shape that one end serves as a
cover for the oil tube and the other as a catch to retain the spindle in position
substantially as described.
2. A spindle socket for ring frames having the several parts constructed and
arranged in combination substantially as described and shown.
