Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL ARNOLD LUKE, of 105 Tweedale Street, Rochdale in the County of
Lancaster, Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO MACHINES FOR SLUBBING, ROVING, SPINNING,
DOUBLING AND WINDING FIBROUS MATERIALS to be as follows:-
"
My invention has reference to the means employed for retaining the collars,
bushes or tubes forming the upper bearings of the spindles of the machines above
referred to in their bearings or bosses.
Hitherto the collars, bushes or tubes which form the upper bearings for the
spindles have been placed in holes bored in the rails or in projections from the rails,
and have then been secured by set screws or by nuts screwed on to the collar, bush
or tube, and in some cases the collar, bush or tube has been screwed so as to screw
into a screw tapped hole in the rail and further the bearing to receive the collar,
bush or tube has in some cases had one side cut open, such side having flanges for
one or more screws which pass through one flange and screw into the other so that
the two flanges can be thus drawn together to grip the exterior of the collar,
bush or tube when placed therein. All these arrangements are complicated in
construction or attended with the danger or liability of the collars, bushes or tubes
working loose and there is further a great objection to them owing to the difficulty
of fixing the collars bushes or tubes in a true central position in the hole provided
for them.
My invention consists in cutting or providing one or more slits of suitable
length and longitudinally in the collar bush or tube, at and extending from that
part which is inserted in the bearing or boss. That part of the collar bush or tube
which fits into its bearing I make sufficiently large so as to be a perfectly tight fit
therein when expanded and in order to pass it into its bearing I compress the bush
at the slit part with any suitable compressing tool and in its compressed state it is
passed into the boss or bearing, then the compression tool being taken off it
expands therein and is held firmly in a true central position and without danger of
becoming loose.

I
Hitherto the collars, bushes or tubes which form the upper bearings for the
spindles, have been placed in holes bored in the rails or in projections from the
rails, and have then been secured by set screws or by nuts screwed on to the collar,
bush or tube, and, in some cases the collar, bush or tube has been screwed so as to
screw into a screw tapped hole in the rail, and further the bearing to receive the
collar, bush or tube has in some cases had one side cut open, such side having
flanges for one or more screws which pass through one flange and screw into the
other so that the two flanges can be thus drawn together to grip the exterior of the
collar, bush or tube when placed therein. All these arrangements are complicated
in construction or attended with the danger or liability of the collars, bushes or
tubes working loose, and there is further a great objection to them owing to the
difficulty of fixing the collars, bushes or tubes in a true central position in the holes
provided for them.
.
My invention consists in cutting or providing one or more slits of suitable length
and longitudinally in the collar, bush or tube, at and extending from that part
which is inserted in the bearing or boss. That part of the collar, bush or tube
which fits into the bearing I make sufficiently large so as to be a perfectly tight fit
therein when expanded, and in order to pass it into its bearing I compress the bush
at the slit part with any suitable compressing tool, and in its compressed state it is
passed into the boss or bearing, then the compression being taken off it expands
therein, and is held firmly in a true central position and without danger of
becoming loose.
And in order that my invention may be more completely understood reference
is given to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and marks thereon.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is, a part cross section and elevation of rail with bearings for collars,
shewing collars in position in bearings and as applied for slubbing and roving
frames. Fio 2 is a plan looking on the ton of rail shewing collars bushes or tubes

page_text: tube in position, illustrating my invention applied to collars, bushes or tubes of
throstle spinning and doubling frames, and frames for winding fibrous materials.
Figs 5 and 6 are respectively a side elevation and plan shewing mode of applying
contracting tool for the purpose of placing the collars in their bearings.
My invention consists in cutting or providing one or more slits a of suitable
length and longitudinally in the collar, bush or tube b, at and extending from that
part which is inserted in the bearing c of the rail d. When the collar bush or
tube b projects a considerable distance below the bearing c it is not necessary to cut
the slit through to the bottom, but only to about the distance shewn at e Fig 1.
But when the collar, bush or tube b does not project much below the bearing cas
shewn at Fig 1 the slit a may be continued through to the bottom. At Figs 3
and 4 is represented the class of short collar and application thereof to the rails of
throstle spinning and doubling frames, and for winding fibrous materials in which g
is the rail, h the bearing in the rail and the short collar, bush or tube. In the
arrangement of short collar, bush or tube i the slit is cut the full length thereof
and applied in the same way as the longer collar, bush or tube.
That part of the collar, bush or tube which fits into its bearing I make sufficiently
large so as to be a perfectly tight fit therein when expanded, and in order to pass it
into its bearing I compress the bush, collar or tube at the slit part shewn at Figs 5
and 6 with any suitable compressing tool, and in its compressed state it is passed
into the boss or bearing, then the compression tool being taken off it expands
therein and is held firmly in a true central position and without danger of
becoming loose.
A compression tool which I employ and find works well in practice and shewn at
Figs 5 and 6 consists of a boss k which is passed onto the collar, bush or tube as
represented, through it a set screw (a sliding block being placed on the end of it
and between it and the collar, bush or tube) is brought to hear upon the flange m
of the collar, bush or tube, and at about the centre of the slit. The attendant by
turning the screw / closes the slit and in this condition the collar, bush or tube is
passed into its bearing after which the compressing tool is removed. It is not
necessary that the slit should be cut straight as shewn, as a spiral or zig-zag form
may be given to it.
Other convenient means may be employed for drawing the collars, bushes or
tubes into their position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The construction of collars, bushes or tubes for the spindles and mode of fixing
or securing the same to the rails and other parts of machines for slubbing, roving,
spinning, doubling, and winding fibrous materials substantially as berein set forth.
