I, WILLIAM YOUNG of Hillbank Linen Works, Dundee, in the County of Forfar
North Britain, Linen Works Manager do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to improvements in Flyers for spinning and roving spindles,
and consists, when applied to spinning spindles, in fixing to the end of each arm
thereof, a small sheave or grooved pulley of hardened steel, or other suitable material.
The lower flat ends, or what are sometimes known as the "palms" of the flyer's arms,
are angled, that is to say, they are arranged upon lines obliquely crossing the circular
path pursued by the said arms, and the beforementioned sheaves or pulleys are con-
sequently disposed upon similar oblique lines, so that when the bobbin is about half
full, the thread runs straight across such pulleys.
When applied to roving spindles, the aforementioned sheaves or pulleys are secured
to the lower end of the tube leg of the flyer in a manner similar to that hereinbefore
described with reference to spinning spindles.
The hereinbefore mentioned sheaves or pulleys are preferably secured to the flyers
by rivets, or by other equivalent means, that is to say, in such manner that when
they become worn they may be removed, and other sheaves or pulleys substituted
therefor.

page_text: Improvements in Flyers for Spinning and Roving Spindles.
I, WILLIAM YOUNG of Hillbank Linen Works, Dundee, in the County of Forfar,
North Britain, Linon Works Manager do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what inmanner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
My Invention relates to improvements in Flyers for spinning and roving spindles
and consists, when applied to spinning spindles, in fixing to the end of each arm
thereof, a small sheave or grooved pulley or its equivalent of hardened steel, or other
suitable material. The lower flat ends, or what are sometimes known as the "palms'
of the flyers arms, are angled, that is to say, they are or may be arranged upon lines
obliquely crossing the circular path pursued by the said arms, and the before
mentioned sheaves or pulleys are or may be disposed upon similar oblique lines, so
that when the bobbin is about half full, the thread runs straight across such pulleys.
When applied to roving spindles, the aforementioned sheaves or pulleys or their
equivalents are secured to the lower end of the tube leg of the flyer in a manner similar
to that hereinbefore described with reference to spinning spindles.
The hereinbefore mentioned sheaves or pulleys or their equivalents are preferably
secured to the flyers by rivets, or by other equivalent means, that is to say, in such
manner that when they become worn they may be removed, and other sheaves or
pulleys substituted therefor.
In order that my Invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect, I will now proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
Figure 1, is a front elevation of one of my improved Flyers.
Figure 2, is a sido elevation of the same.
Figure 3, is a front clevation of another method of constructing the same.
Figure 4, is a side elevation corresponding to Figure 3.
In the Flyer as represented on the annexed drawings Figures 1 and 2, the palms
marked A on the lower end of the arms of the flyer are flattened out and arrangel
obliquely in reference to the circular path of the said arms the small shoaves or
grooved pulloys or their equivalents marked B, are by preference made of hardoned
steel and aro secured to the end of each arm in any suitable manner by means of
rivets or their equivalents so that when the said sheaves or pulleys become worn they
may be renewed with very little trouble or expense. The said palms being shewn
oblique to the circular path of the flyer arms the thread runs straight across the
sheave or pulley B, when the bobbin is about half full.
As an alternative method and one that is most suitable when there is want of space
between the spindles I form the palm marked A, as above described with the flat sides
thereof concentric to the axis of the spindle.

page_text: Upon one of the flat sides I secure in preference by means of the rivets marked F,
a sheave or pulley or its equivalent marked D, but of a different shape to that shewn
by Figures 1 and 2, portions only of the flange being left thereon in place of the entire
flange as shewn in Figures 1 and 2.
Having now particularly 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 :-
In Flyers for spinning or roving spindles the sheave or pulley or its equivalent
marked B, rivetted or otherwise secured to the palms thereof and constructed
substantially as herein described and shewn on the annexed sheet of drawings.
