PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Certain Machinery for Spinning, Doubling, or
Twisting.
We, WILLIAM WADSWORTH, of 13, Southfield Square, Bradford, in the County
of York, Spinner, and JAMES POOLE, of 32, Kimberley Street, Leeds Road,
Bradford, aforesaid, Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention particularly relates to improvements in flyer machinery for
spinning, doubling or twisting fibrous material for which the present applicant
William Wadsworth and another have made application for Letters Patent
No. 6188 of 1893, and its object is to reduce the friction of the flyers on or in their
bearings thereby enabling them to be run at a higher speed without danger of
over-heating.
For this purpose we introduce a loose brass or other metal tube between the
bearing sleeve or shank of the flyer and the hollow stud or its equivalent upon
which said sleeve is mounted. so arranged that said sleeve is free to revolve upon
the tube and the tube free to revolve upon the stud or its equivalent thus the
friction during rotation is approximately divided between the two surfaces.
The walls of said tube may be made thinner at the middle so as to reduce the
bearing surface or said tube may be made in two pieces one placed at the bottom
and the other supported at the top of said stud or its equivalent.
A loose washer is introduced at the bottom to support both the tube and sleeve
and a space may be provided below to receive sediment.
Dated this 2nd day of October 1893.

Improvements in Certain Machinery for Spinning, Doubling, or
Twisting.
We, WILLIAM WADSWORTH, of 13, Southfield Square, Bradford, in the County
of York, Spinner, and JAMES POOLE, of 32, Kimberley Street, Leeds Road,
Bradford, aforesaid, Overlooker, 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 particularly relates to improvements in flyer spinning machinery
for spinning, doubling or twisting fibrous material for which the present applicant
William Wadsworth and another have obtained Letters Patent No. 6188 of 1893,
and its object is to reduce the friction of the flyers on or in their bearings thereby
enabling them to be run at a higher speed without danger of over-heating.
For this purpose we introduce a loose brass or other tube between the bearing
sleeve or shank of the flyer and the hollow stud or its equivalent upon which said
sleeve is mounted so arranged that said sleeve is free to revolve upon the tube and the
tube free to revolve upon said stud or its equivalent thus the friction during
rotation is approximately divided between the two surfaces.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying sheet of drawings forming a part of
ID:.. 031

page_text: ;
this Specification in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts
in both of the figures.
Figure 1, represents a vertical section of a spindle and flyer constructed in
accordance with the Specification of the above cited Letters Patent, with our
present improvements applied thereto.
Figure 2, represents a separate section of the said hollow stud with the tube
thereon.
The sleeve J is made of larger diameter than that shown in the above cited
Specification to allow of the tube a being introduced between the interior of said
sleeve and the hollow stud A.
Aloose washer e is introduced at the bottom upon which both the tube and
sleeve rest. This washer may be placed on the shoulder i at the root of the stud
or it may be supported as shown by the raised shoulder n so as to leave a space r
below for sediment.
The walls of said tube may be made thinner at the middle so as to reduce the
bearing surface or said tube may be made in two pieces one placed at the bottom
and the other supported at the top of said stud or its equivalent.
It is obvious that a tube may be introduced in other forms of fly spinning
machines in which a sleeve or other revolving part is mounted upon or in a
stationary bearing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
1. In fly spinning machinery the use of a tube introduced between the revolving
and stationary, portion, substantially as herein shown and described and for the
purpose specified.
2. The combination of the stud A, the tube a and the sleeve J, substantially as
herein shown and described.
3. The combination of the stud A, the tube a, the sleeve J and the washer
substantially as herein shown and described.
Dated this 2nd day of June 1894.
