PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Spindles of Cap Spinning
and Twisting Frames.
We BENJAMIN SMITH, Manager and JAMES Moss HowSON & COMPANY
LIMITED of Albert Mills, Halifax in the County of York, Worsted Spinners, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the method of and means employed for
lubricating and reducing the friction between the wharle and tube and spindle and
spindle and oil cup also preventing vibration of the spindle so allowing of the
tube being driven with greater ease and rapidity than heretofore.
According to this invention we form the wharle, cap, or cover, and tube as one.
piece the inner concentric ring of the cap or cover, and the tube being formed of
one piece of soft metal as brass or gun metal. The oil cup is made so that its
upper edges goes between the inner concentric ring and the outer ring or wharle
and in the bottom of the oil cup is a felt washer as ordinary and on the washer are
placed two or more rings or washers, or rings and washers of metal and on the latter
the inner concentric ring of the cap or cover rests so that the wharle and tube are
supported by and revolve on the lubricated rings and washers which are protected
from dust and fluff by the cap or cover.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Spindles of Cap Spinning
and Twisting Frames.
We BENJAMIN SMITH Manager, and JAMES Moss Howson & Co. LIM. of
Albert Mills, Halifax, in the County of York, Worsted Spinner, 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 improvements in spindles for spinning machinery such
improvements being particularly applicable to the spindles of cap and ring spinning,
and twisting frames the improvements being directed to lubricating and reducing
the friction between the wharle and tube and spindle and between the spindle, and
the oil cup, the effect being to prevent vibration and heating of the spindle and so
to allow of the tube being driven with greater ease, and rapidity than heretofore.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a
part of this Specification in which:-
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of part of a spindle with the aforesaid improvements
applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Fig. 2 but drawn to an enlarged scale.
According to this invention we form the wharle 1, cap or cover 2, and tube 3
practically as one piece, the tube 3 which is of soft metal, such as brass or gun
metal, being forced through a hole drilled in the wharle 1 so as to be a fixture
therein. The lower end 4 of the tube 3 extends some little distance through the
wharle, and cap or cover 2 and forms therein an inner concentric ring the lower
edge 5 of the wharle forming the outer concentric ring of the cap or cover 2.

page_text: The oil cup 6 which is of metal is made so that its upper edge passes between
the inner concentric ring or end 4 of the tube 3 and the cap or cover 2 which
forins part of the ring or wharle 1.
The spindle 7 passes through the rail 10 and through a hole in the bottom of the
oil cup 6, and in such oil cup and loose on the spindle 7 we place a felt washer 8 as
usual, while on the washer 8 we place one, two, or more loose metal, wood, glass or
other rings, or washers but preferably a hard metal washer 9, a ring of metal 11
and a washer 12 as shewn. On the top washer 12 the end 4 of the tube 3 rests,
so that the wharle and tube are supported by, and revolve on the lubricated rings
and washers which are protected from dust, and fluff by the wharle and cap
or cover.
By the use of the above described appliances the tube can be driven with less
friction and vibration, and consequently at a higher speed. The lubricant in the
oil спр 6 being protected by the cap or cover 2 is prevented from flying out, and
does not require replenishing so often, thus effecting a great saving in time, and
lubricant.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature, and object of the
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is :
1. The wharle 1 fixed on the tube 3 and made hollow so as also to form a cap or
cover for the oil cup, the wharle and tube being supported by rings, and washers
as herein described, and as illustrated by annexed drawings.
2. A wharle, a tube, and an oil vessel combined, and as illustrated by annexed
drawings.
