PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements applicable to the Lubrication of what are known as
Self-contained Spindles, used in Ring and Traveller and other
Spinning and Doubling Frames.
We WILLIAM BODDEN of Hargreaves Spindle Works, Spindle Manufacturer,
and JAMES BODDEN of 18 Osborne Street, Foreman Spindle Maker, both of
Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows.―
This invention relates to improved means of attaching oil cups or oil tubes for
lubricating what are known as self contained spindles used in 11ng and traveller and
other spinning and doubling frames of the same type.
This invention is for the purpose of cleaning and oiling this class of spindles
without having to stop the spindle or to pump the old oil out, for this purpose we
propose to bore up the bolster bearing shank from beneath and to insert therein a
tube or cup containing oil.
This tube or cup being screwed up against a shoulder formed in the bolster
which is preferably tapered to increase the frictional contact, or the shoulder may
be left square if found more convenient.
For facility of quick application and fixing of this tube or oil cup to its place
and of its easy and rapid removal therefrom we provide the same externally with a
multiple threaded sciew of any suitable pitch oi number of threads, and chase the
nside of the bore of the bolster bearing shank with a coresponding multiple
thread so that only a portion of a turn of the tube or oil cup is necessary to detach
or attach the same.
The lower end of the oil tube or cup is squared or otherwise prepared to receive
n key or similai instrument for fixing or unfixing the same.
It will be obvious that this detachable tube or oil cup can be readily removed
cleaned out and refilled, and fixed at any time without stopping the spindles.
Dated thus 10th day of May 1895.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements applicable to the Lubrication of what are known as
Self-contained Spindles, used in Ring and Traveller and other
Spinning and Doubling Frames.
We WILLIAM BODDEN of Hargreaves Spindle Works, Spindle Manufacturer,
and JAMES BODDEN of 18 Osborne Street, Foreman Spindle Maker, both of
Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, 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 an improved device for lubricating what are known as

page_text: "self-contained" spindles used in "ring-and-traveller" and other spinning and
doubling frames, and also flyer throstle spindles of the same type.
In these frames it is customary to clean and oil the spindles by first pumping out
the old oil and sediment, and then applying fresh oil, during which operation it 18
necessary to stop the revolution of the spindles and to lift them out of their sockets
or bolsters.
This invention is for the purpose of cleaning and oiling this class of spindle
without having either to stop the spindle or to pump the old oil out
The nature of our said invention and the mauuer in which the same is to be
carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the sheet of
drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof
Fig. 1 on the drawing is a vertical section of a self-contamed ring fiame spindle
with our improved lubricating device shown as applied thereto, and Fig 2 18 an
elevation of the same with the improved lubricating device shown as detached
Fig. 3 is an enlarged ew of a detached portion of the same hereafter more
particularly referred to.
a is the spindle, & the long collar and foot step, and c the fixed bolster. For the
purposes of our Invention we bore up the shank of the bolster bearing c from
beneath as shown at Fig 1 m order to useit therein a lubricating tube or cup d
containing oil, this tube or cup d having its upper end formed slightly conical or
rounded as seen at + on the enlarged view Fig. 3 and screwed against a shoulder o+
formed in the bore of the bolster c for that purpose, such shoulder being preferably
left square and sharp so that the upper end of the bolster beds against it and so
makes a tight joint for itself, or the shoulder may be slightly coued to fit the upper
end of the tube.
For facility of quick application and fixing of this tube or oil cup d in its place,
and easy and rapid removal therefiom, we provide the same with a multiple
threaded screw (see Fig. 2) of any suitable pitch and number of threads, and we
chase the inside of the bore of the shank with a coresponding multiple thread, so
that only a portion of a turn of the tube or oil cup d is necessary to detach or
attach the same.
The lower end of the oil tube or cup at d++ 18 squared or otherwise prepared to
receive a hey or similar instrument for fixing or unfixing the same.
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
olaim 18:
The combination with a spindle of the "self-contamed" type of an internal tubo
or oil cup inserted in the bolster bearing or shank and having a taper or conical
end to increase fictional contact and to make au oil tight joint, the exterior
of such tube being provided with a multiple threaded screw and the interior of the
bore of the bolster bearing being also chased with a similar multiple-thended screw
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth and illustrated by the
diawings annexed.
Dated this 9th day of August 1895.
