ALFRED HITCHON Machinist Globe Works Accrington do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in spinning or twisting machine
spindles support or bolsters, the latter being of a well known type of those having
an outside oiling tube or conductor such as illustrated in Patent No. 19036 A.D. 1889
and covered by a kind of cap pressed over the inlet part of the oiling tube.
Another method of covering up the same kind of oiling tube is illustrated in
Patent No. 14817 A.D. 1892.
Both kinds of covers require to be raised upward for the oiling operation this
being somewhat objectionable on account of the under surface of the ring rail
coming in near contact with the so formed tube cover and particularly so when
such cover are left in a partly open state.
In Patent 14,817 as referred to it will be seen that there is a limited fixed
position for the cover hinge at such a distance above the spindle wharve of which
the projection part of the cover that has to clear or hold the spindle wharve when
the cover is uplifted for taking out the spindle so as to give clearance of the wharve
passing the projection on the hinge.
My invention is designed to be made use of not only in new frames, but in frames
already in use also to supplant the spindles in same with my improved appliance
attached. In lieu of the hinged cover as afore described I make use of a much
older invention of which I will refer to as patented in the year 1882, dated June 14th
No. 2799 and as illustrated, on Fig. 1 is an hinged spindle holder in its complete
form, the upright piece 1 as shown bent over at 7 so as to hold on the spindle
wharve. I interpose an oiling tube betwixt the upright 1 and spindle wharve the
bent over portion at 7 is of sufficient width and length as to cover over the oiling
tube end so that there is no uplifting of covers that were liable of being left open
and thereby project upward as the part 7 is made to slide over the oil tube end
and also act as a spindle holder as hithertofore, I am enabled to make several
modifications of a sliding or swivelling cover over the end of the oiling tube and edge
of wharve but in all cases I obtain the highest length of oiling tube within the
limited space that is admissable under the ring rails.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Spindle Bearings or Holders
for Spinning, Twisting, or Winding Machines.
I ALFRED HITCHON Machinist Globe Works Accrington 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 has reference to improvements in spinning or twisting machine

page_text: spindles supports or bolsters, the latter being of a well known type of those having
an outside oiling tube or conductor such as illustrated in Patent No. 19,036, A.D. 1889,
and covered by a kind of cap pressed over the inlet part of the oiling tube.
Another method of covering up the same kind of oiling tube is illustrated in
Patent No. 14,817, A.D. 1892.
Both kinds of covers require to be raised upward for the oiling operation this
being somewhat objectionable on account of the under surface of the ring rail
coming in near contact with the so formed tube cover and particularly so when such
cover is left in a partly open state.
In Patent 14,817 as referred to, it will be seen that there is a limited fixed
position for the cover hinge at such a distance above the spindle wharve that the
projection part of the cover has to clear the spindle wharve when the cover is
uplifted for taking out the spindle so as to give clearance of the wharve passing
the projection on the hinge.
My invention is designed to be made use of not only in new frames, but in frames
already in use, also to supplant the spindles in same with my improved appliance
attached. In lieu of the hinged cover as afore described I make use of a much
older invention of which I refer to as patented in the year 1882, dated June 14th,
No. 2799, and as illustrated, on Fig. 1 is an hinged spindle holder in its complete
form, the upright piece 1 as shown bent over at 7, so as to hold on the spindle
wharve.
I interpose an oiling tube betwixt the upright 1 (or pair of uprights) and spindle
wharve the bent over portion at 7 is of sufficient width and length as to cover over
the oiling tube end so that there is no uplifting of covers that were liable of being
left open and thereby project upward as the part is made to slide over the oil tube
end and also act as a spindle holder as hithertofore, I am enabled to make several
modifications of a sliding or swivelling cover over the end of the oiling tube and
edge or wharve but in all cases I obtain the highest length of oiling tube within
the limited space that is admissible under the ring rails.
The accompanying sheet of drawings shows a spindle and holder complete with
my improvements of oiling tube and cover for same in two elevation figures and
marked with reference letters in keeping for same being described and referred to
in keeping with each other. E is the oiling tube as shown in the central position
betwixt the two uprights F of the spindle holder. His the projecting part of the
oil tube cover forming part of the bent over part of the uprights F. D is the
fulcrum pin or shaft. "C'is the balance weight part of the spindle holder for keeping
the sliding cover of the oiling tube and spindle holding part of the spindle holder
in a sealing and securing position. C' shows in dotted lines the balance weight
partly lifted and oil cover partly unslid. G is an ordinary spindle bearing or
bolster. B is the wharve of spindle A as held in position by spindle holder
projection H.
Having now 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 and combination of parts as referred to by letters H. F. C,
and D forming the sliding oil tube cover and spindle holder as illustrated and
described.
