Improvements in or relating to the Rollers of Ring Spinning Frames.
I, JOHN HILL, of 22, Memorial Road, Walkden, near Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Ring Frame Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in or relating to the rollers of ring
spinning frames and is designed to reduce friction to allow of the free action
of the rollers to rotate according to the various requirements and conditions.
To the cap-bar "nebs" of the machine are secured brackets provided with
U shaped bearings in which the metallic centres of the rollers are mounted.

Improvements in or relating to the Rollers of Ring Spinning Frames.
I, JOHN HILL, of 22, Memorial Road, Walkden, near Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Master Spinner, 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 connected with the rollers of ring spin-
ning frames and has been designed with the object of reducing friction and of
permitting the free rotation of the rollers under the various conditions of work.
According to my invention, I secure upon the cap-bar nebs of the ring frames
brackets which are provided with U-shaped bearings in which the metallic centres
of the rollers are mounted.
I will more particularly describe my said improvements with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which the form and method of construction which
I prefer to employ are illustrated.
The bracket may be formed from comparatively thin sheet steel, say about
No. 16. Standard wire gauge from which a rectangular piece is first cut to form
a blank. This blank is cut with two parallel slits ab Figure 1, forming a tongue.c
and two side pieces d d. The tongue is shortened as shewn, and pierced with
an chlong hole e. The side pieces d d are then turned parallel with each other
to the U-shape shewn by Figures 2 and 3, and finally, the centre part c is bent
at a right angle as also shewn by the same figures. The brackets thus made
may advantageously be hardened and tempered to a spring temper. They are

page_text: fixed to their nebs on the cap bar by means of set screws passing through the
holes e, the oblong shape of which permits easy and perfect adjustment.
It will be understood that I do not limit myself to the hereinbefore described
method of construction, as the same result may obviously be obtained by other
equivalent means.
The pivots of the top clearer rollers run in the U-shaped bearings f, so that the
roller is always free to lift but is nevertheless always kept parallel with the
lower rollers. The result is that there is always perfect rotation in the top
clearer roller, better spinning, and less waste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. Bearers for the top clearer rollers of ring spinning frames, having U-shaped
supports for the metallic ends of the rollers, substantially as and for the purpose
hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. Bearers for the top clearer rollers of ring spinning frames, constructed from
a single piece of sheet steel, substantially as herein before described and as illus-
trated by the accompanying drawings.
