IMPROVEMENTS IN RING SPINNING FRAMES to be as follows:-
Year: 1884

page_text: Wo JOHN WAUGH DAWSON Cotton Spinner and HENRY SIMPSON Carder both
of Cross Heath, Wolstanton in the County of Stafford do hereby declare the naturo
of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN RING SPINNING FRAMES to be as
follows:-
"
Our invention relates to the construction of tho machines known as " ring
spinning frames" used for spinning cotton and other fibrous substances and the
invention consists principally in so constructing and mounting tho rings in the ring
rail that they can revolve therein instead of remaining stationary as hitherto.
Each ring is formed with a wharve and is driven by means of an endless band
passing around a tin drum or roller. The ring is not provided with a "traveller"
but has on its upper edge an eye or twirl like that of an ordinary flyer for tho
thread to pass through. The speed of the revolution of the spool or bobbin is
decreased as the cop increases in diameter in the same manner as is practised in
the machine known as the "Jack-frame."
The spindle rail has a rising and falling motion given to it so that the spools or
bobbins rise and fall in order to effect the even winding-on of the yarn, and a
tapering motion is given to the same to form the nose and base of the cop to the
required angle.
The tin roller which drives the spindles rises and falls with the spindle rail so as
to keep it always on a level with the spindle wharves.

Wo John Wauo11 Dawson Cotton Spinner and HENRY SIMPSON Carder, both
of Cross Heath Wolstanton in the County of Stafford do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN RING SPINNING FRAMES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-

Our invention relates to the construction of the machines known as ring-
spinning frames" used for spinning cottou and other fibrous substances, and the
invention consists principally in dispensing entirely with the piece known as the
traveller," and in so mounting the ring in the ring rail that it can revolve
therein or thereon instead of remaining stationary as hitherto such rings being
used in combination with revolving spindles.
Each ring is formed with a wharve and is driven by means of an endless band
passing around a tin drum or roller. The ring is provided on its upper edge with
an eye or twirl like that of an ordinary flyer for the thread to pass through.
The speed of the revolution of the spool or bobbin is decreased as the cop
increases in diameter in the same manner as is practised in the machine known as
the "Jack-fraine."
The spindle rail has a rising and falling motion given to it so that the spools or
bobbins rise and fall in order to effect the oven winding on of the yarn, and a
tapering motion is given to the same to form the nose and base of the cop to the
required angle.
The tin roller which drives the spindles riscs and falls with the spindle rail so as
to keep it always on a level with the spindle wharves.
In order to fully illustrate the nature of our invention and the manner of
performing the same we have annexed hereunto a sheet of drawings illustrativo
thereof and have marked the samo with figures and letters of referrence corre-
sponding with those in the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. is a section of the ring rail and ring constructed according to our
improvements. Fig. 2 is a front view of the frame and Fig. 3. a sectional view
of the same, and Fig. 4. is a diagram on a larger scale to illustrate the arrangement
of the gearing.
In the ring rail a. a (see Fig. 1) we fix by set screws b, b a series of short
tubes c, c with bevilled flanges d, d at the top.
The rings e, e are made in the form of wharves and are provided with twirls f,f
or eyes at their upper edge, and are mounted loosely upon the tubes c, c on the
ring rail, so that they can revolve therein being driven by means of endless bands
from the tin roller g, g (see Fig. 3).
The speed of revolution of the cop or bobbin is decreased as the cop increases
in diameter by means of the cone pulleys h h, and the differential bevil gearing i, i
in the same way as practised in the ordinary "Jack-frame."
The same motion also governs the lifting of the rail k, k (see Fig. 3.) which
carries the spindles 1, 1.
The spindle rail k, k has thus a differential rising and falling motion imparted to
it so that the spindles, with the bobbins rise and fall in order to effect the even
winding on of the yarn, and a tapering motion is given thereto in the ordinary
manner so as to form the nose and base of the cop to the required angle.
The spindles, are driven by endless bands passing around the lower tin
roller m, m which is driven in the following manner. Upon tho main shaft n, n
is keyed a spur wheel o, o which by means of a carrier wheel p, p drives a similar

page_text: pinion q, q keyed on the end of the lower tin roller shaft r, r. The carrier
wheel PP is kept always in gear with both the wheel o, o and the pinion q, q by
means of the jointed arms or links 8, 8 in which it is mounted and thus as the
pinion q, q rises and falls with the lower tin roller shaft it always remains in gear
and drives the lower tin roller m, m (see diagram Fig. 4).
The arrangement of the gearing will be readily understood on referring to this
figure which is drawn to a larger scale; t, t is the top cone shaft, u u the
bottom cone shaft, g, g the top tin roller shaft and r, the bottom tin roller
shaft, v, v the lifting shaft and w, w the train of wheels for driving the drawing
rollers.
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
First the construction and use in combination with revolving spindles of
revolving "rings" without "travellers" but provided with eyes or twirls for the
thread to pass through, and driven by endless bands.
Secondly we claim the combination with revolving "rings" without "travellers"
and with revolving spindles of a movable lifting rail for carrying the said spindles
and Thirdly we claim the combination with a movable lifting rail carrying
revolving spindles of the peculiar arrangement of spur gearing o, o p, p and q, 9
and jointed arms or links 8, 8 which allows the spindle rail to rise and fall and
at the same time keeps the tin roller (which drives the spindles) always in
gear all substantially as hereinbefore particularly described and illustrated by the
drawings annexed.
