Improvements in and relating to Spinning Frames.

Norway.
A communication by CHRISTIANIA SEILDUGSFABRIK and
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, 118 New Street, Birmingham
in the County of Warwick and 322 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Civil Engineer, 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 spinning frames and more especially to spinning frames.
for jute and like fibres. Some kinds of these spinning frames are provided with.
"teinpering bands," the object of which is to impart more or less frictional
resistance to the bobbins, and this invention has for its object certain improvements.
in the arrangement of these tempering bands, whereby the manipulating and
regulating of the same is greatly facilitated.
In the annexed drawings, Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in elevation and plan
respectively a part of a spinning frame provided with one form of this improved
tempering regulating device. Figure 3 is a vertical cross section through the
spinning frame.
A is the spindle frame, B are the spindles and C is a temper wheel on the
bobbins. The temper bands are or may be as usual fastened in the back rib E of
the frame, while at the front side of the same they rest in notches F. When the
tempering of the bobbins is to be regulated each temper band must, in the forms of
construction heretofore employed, be lifted by hand and placed in another notch F..
The present improvement consists in constructing said notched rib of the frame as
a rod G, which slides in guides on the frame, and may be moved along the front
side of the frame by means of a lever H, connected to the rod G by a connecting
rod I. The lever H and thereby the rod G may be fastened in the desired position
by means of a set screw K and a sector L or by other suitable means.
The rod G rests upon wheels or rollers M carried by brackets N, in which the
rod is guided, and the said rod G is moreover provided with rollers or wheels O
bearing against the front edge of the spindle frame. It will be easily understood
that by means of the devices described above the whole set of temper bands can
be moved in one operation. In Figure 2 the uttermost positions of the temper
bands are shown in dotted lines. These limits may be varied by laying the temper
bands in another notch of the rod. It is not necessary, that the front rib be made
movable. The same effect may be obtained if the back edge E, in which the
bands or cords are fastened be movable and the notched edge G fixed. In this
case a handwheel may be used instead of the lever H, the shaft of which wheel by
means of a lever and rod or pinion and rack may be connected to the movable
holder E for the temper bands, this construction being easily understood.
This invention is not limited to the specific constructions shown and described
above as the details may be varied in many respects without departing from the
principle of the invention, which consists broadly in the use of a movable holder
or support for one end of all of the tempering bands.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In a spinning frame the combination with the bobbins and the tempering
bands connected therewith, of a movable holder or support for one end of the said
bands, said holder being supported by guides, so that it may be easily moved in a
line parallel or nearly so with the plane of the bobbin spindles.
2. In a spinning frame the combination with the bobbins and the tempering
bands connected therewith of a movable support for the weighted end of said
bands, said support consisting of a notched rod carried in guides fixed to the
bobbin-frame and resting on rollers in such guides.
3. In a spinning frame the combination with the bobbins, the tempering bands
connected therewith and the holders for the said bands of mechanism for moving
one of said holders in a direction substantially parallel with the plane of the
bobbin spindles, said mechanism being provided with means for securing the same
in any position.
4. In a spinning frame a mechanism for simultaneously moving or adjusting the
position of a number of tempering bands substantially as described.
