PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Drawing Frames for Fibrous Materials.
We, EDMUND TWEEDALE, SAMUEL TWEEDALE and JOSEPH SMALLEY, of
Globe Works Castleton, near Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Machine
Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention comprises an improved construction and arrangement of gearing
for driving the callender roller and coilers and for lubrication of the spindle or
supporting axis of the spur and bevel wheel for driving the tube wheels.
According to this invention we fix on the boss of the fast pulley a wheel which
is connected by a stud carrier with the wheel on the coiler shaft; the latter wheel
is connected by a second carrier wheel with the wheel on the callender rollers: by
such construction the coiler shaft, which drives all the coiler motions as well as
the callender rollers, is driven so as to avoid or obviate the tortion on the front
fluted or drawing roller shaft, consequent on the arrangement as heretofore
employed.
The bevel wheel (of the bevel and spur) for driving the tube wheel is cast to
the spur wheel, and the two are supported on an axis or spindle carried in a
lubricating sleeve thereby to ensure lubrication and to protect the bearing from
floss and dust; the lubricating sleeve is provided with a collar on its upper side,
the lower part projecting through the spectacle or bearing for the tube wheel and
is secured by a nut or screw underneath the wheel not projecting below the
spectacle obviates the requirement for any cover or guard.

Improvements in Drawing Frames for Fibrous Materials.
We EDMUND TWEEDALE, SAMUEL TWEEDALE and JOSEPH SMALLEY all of
Globe Works, Castleton near Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Machine
Makers, 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 drawing frames for fibrous materials
and comprises an improved construction, and arrangement of gearing for driving
the callender rollers and coilers, and an improved construction and arrangement of
parts ensuring lubrication of the spindle, or supporting axis of the spur and bevel
wheel for driving the tube wheel.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention, the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings
in which :-
Fig. is an end elevation of the improved construction and arrangement of
gearing for driving the callender rollers, and coilers in drawing frames.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of improved construction and arrangement of parts

wheel.

wheel.
on
At A, A are the fast and loose driving pulleys and B (see Fig. 1) is a pinion
the front roller V said pinion B driving the back roller Y. C is a carrier wheel
mounted on the socket carrier 2 and D is a change wheel also mounted on the
socket carrier 2 and gearing with and driving the wheel E fast on the back
roller Y. There is a pinion on the boss of the fast pulley A, said pinion F
driving the socket change wheel G on the axis or shaft of which is the socket
wheel H driving the wheel J (see Fig. 1) on the coiler shaft 3. K is a carrier
wheel mounted on a stud 4 carried in a bracket said wheel K gearing with and
driving the wheel M on the back callender roller L on the axis of which is the
wheel 5 gearing with and driving the wheel N on the front callender roller O which
is carried in bearings P insulated at Q from the stand or support R of the back
callender roller L.
At S is the spectacle bracket and T is a bevel wheel on the coiler shaft 3
supported by bracket 6 on the spectacle bracket S and said bevel wheel T gears
with and drives the plate bevel and spur and covering wheel U which drives the
tube wheel. 7 is a footstep (see Fig. 5) carried in the spectacle bracket S said
footstep supporting and carrying the bevel and spur pinion U this pinion being a
plate wheel i.e. without arms so that it serves as a cap or cover for the lubricated
footstep 7. 8 is part of the beam or frame, W is the second roller, X the third
roller, and Z the pedestal of the front roller.
Fixed on the boss of the fast pulley A is the wheel F which by the carriers G
and H is connected with the wheel J on the coiler shaft 3. The wheel J is
connected by a second carrier K with the wheel M on the callender roller L which
by wheel 5 and N drives the callender roller O so that the callender rollers L. O
are driven so as to avoid, or obviate the torsion on the front fluted or drawing
roller shaft V consequent on the arrangement as heretofore employed.
The
The bevel wheel U (of the bevel and spur wheel) for driving the tube wheel 12
is cast to the spur wheel 9 and the two are supported on an axis or spindle 10
carried in a lubricating sleeve or footstep 7 and this spur wheel 9 being a plate
wheel protects the lubricant in the footstep 7 from dust, floss, and dirt.
lubricating sleeve or footstep 7 is provided with a collar or flange 11 on its upper
side, and this collar or flange rests on the top of the spectacle S which forms a
bearing for the tube wheel 12 and the said footstep 7 is secured to the spectacle 5
by means of a nut or screw 13 underneath (see Fig. 5).
It will be seen that no wheels project beneath the spectacle or bracket 5 and thus
no guard is required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same has to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
1. The construction and arrangement of gear combined with & for operating
the callender rollers, and coilers as illustrated by drawings annexed and shewn fully
described.
2. The wheels U, 9 cast to or mounted upon spindle 10, sleeve 7, flange 11 and
nuts 13 for securing same to spectacle S, the whole in combination and as shewn by
sectional drawing Fig. 5.
