an improved appliance designed for imparting an accelerated movement to the
traverse and to the yarn in its distribution on the spool, such increase of motion
operating when the yarn is near the ends of the spool, the object being to reduce the
dwell" consequent on the return motions of the yarn, at the ends to a minimum,
and to wind the yarn in a slightly tapered or barrel form whereby the yarn is inter-
laced one portion over the other on the several traverses and the ends are firm and not
liable to run over "thus the waste of material is avoided.

Improvements in Winding Machines.
We, WHITELEY TOLSON and LEGH TOLSON, Cotton Doublers, and JOB ADAMS,
Foreman Doubler, all of Waterloo Bridge Works, Huddersfield, in the County of York,
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 machines for winding yarn, and the invention consists of
an improved appliance, designed for imparting an accelerated movement to the
traverse bar at one part of its movement, and also to the yarn in its distribution on
the spool, such increased speed of motion operating when the yarn is near either end
of the spool; the object being to reduce the "dwell" consequent on the return
notions of the yarn to a minimum, and to wind the yarn in a slightly tapered or
barrel shaped form, whereby the yarn is interlaced, one portion over the other, on the
several traverses, and the ends of the cop are firm and not liable to "run over," thus
preventing the waste of material.
According to this our invention, in lieu of the plain straight slotted plate and crank
motion, or of cam groove motion, as heretofore, we employ a plate on the end of the
traverse bar in which plate is cut or formed a slot of peculiar construction, that is to
say, the slot at one position and on both its internal sides is contracted so as to form
two double inclines or accelerating plates, these inclines are the plates on which the
crank pin (which operates the bar and traverse) will be in contact with, when the yarn
is nearing and returning from the ends of the traverse, thus imparting a quick motion.
to the traverse as and for purpose above described.
In order that our invention may be better understood, we will now make reference
to the accompanying sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof, wherein Fig. 1 is front
view of such parts of a yarn winding machine as is necessary to illustrate our inven-
tion, and Fig. 2 end view of the same. a is the ordinary framework of the machine
and 6 are the winding drums caused to revolve by bevel wheels c. A traverse bar is
shewn at d, on the end of which is fastened by bolts or other means the plate e, which
has hitherto been formed with a vertical slot. The cops from which the yarn is
unwound are carried by the creel board f, and the yarn in unwinding passes through
an eyelet g, over the smoothing board, onto the bobbin i, all of which parts are
arranged and operated in the ordinary manner. Our invention consists in forming in.
the plate e a peculiar shaped groove or grooves as shown at j.
Within the said
groove is a pin or antifriction bowl k, carried by a crank 1, driven from shaft m, so
that as the crank and pin revolve within the slot, the traverse bar will traverse back-
wards and forwards for the purpose of forming the bobbin, which is effected by the
yarn being crossed and recrossed upon a paper or other form of barrel. In the
formation of these bobbins, is necessary that when the traversing bar d arrives at
the end of its movement in either direction, the said bar should quickly return, and
this is effected by the peculiarly shaped groove j, where, when the pin k gets to the

page_text: contracted parts, the movement of the traversing bar is quickened, but the speed is
reduced as the pin enters the wider portion of the said groove. In order to assist,
and to ensure that the traversing bar quickly returns after having reached the end
of its stroke, we may apply spiral springs as shewn at n, which assists the traverse
bar to quickly change its return motion.
By the peculiar shaped groove herein shewn and described, a very firm maṛketable
bobbin is built up, the shape of which may be made either slightly convex or concave,
according to the form of the slot, and although we bave shewn in Fig. 1 the bobbins
to be parallel, they may be made conical, as shewn in Fig. 3. This arises in con-
sequence of the tube being conical, upon which the yarn is built.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In a winding machine for forming bobbins without flanges, the use of a slotted
plate, having the groove or slot formed and shaped substantially as shown and for
purposes herein described.
