Device for Use in connection with Thread Winding Machines, and the
like, for Facilitating the Clearing and Evening of Threads.
I, SIMON LÖWENSTEIN, of Bielefeld, Germany, Linen Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
---
This invention has for object to provide an improved device by means of which,
in the winding of threads, the same are arrested at their uneven or knotted
parts to permit said parts to be cleared or removed, for which pur-
pose the thread in

a
sliding between guide parts and said cone is hung on a screw which
carries a small toothed wheel engaging a larger wheel. This latter carries a
pointer adapted to turn over a circular scale to indicate any particular thread
number to the thickness of which the cone is set by turning the toothed wheels
and with them the screw whereby the cone is moved up or down and the width
of the space between the same and the counter plate is adjusted.
Upon the
occurrence of stoppages or interruptions by reason of unevenness or difference of
thickness of thread, the counter plate is turned on a stud to one side, and, when
the thread has been attended to, returned to its place where it bears against a prò-
jection on one of the guide parts of the frame.

Device for Use in connection with Thread Winding Machines, and the
like, for Facilitating the Clearing and Evening of Threads.
I, SIMON LÖWENSTEIN, of Bielefeld, Germany, Linen Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention has for object to provide a device for use in connection with
spooling machines, and thread winding machines generally by which threads
when being spooled or wound may at their uneven or knotty places be arrested
The device is located so that the
to permit attention to be paid to the same.
thread to be wound must pass through it before reaching the spool or bobbin or
the like.

page_text: In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a front eleva-
tion, Fig. 3 a central vertical section, and Fig. 4 a plan of the device of the
invention.
The thread is drawn between the conical or taper surface of a wedge block k
and a movable plate P. The block is suspended from a screw S
and
held within a metal frame R between guide straps f adapated
to slide, with the block, upon the frame. On the screw $ is
fixed a spur pinion Z which engages with a toothed wheel Z' fixed on a spindle
stepped into the frame R and carrying at top a pointer i adapted to be turned
over a circular scale to indicate any one of certain thread numbers marked on
said scale for which thickness of thread the wedge block is also and at the same
time adjusted from the pointer spindle through toothed wheels Z, Z, and screw S
in such a way that said block k is at the proper proximity to the plate P. Upon
stoppages of the thread taking place through irregularities in the same, theplate P
is turned on the bolt b to one side to release the thread, after attending to which
the plate is turned back into its position against a lug f projecting from one of
the straps f..
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:
1. In a device of the kind referred to, the arrangement of a cone or wedge
part adjustable by means of toothed wheels and screw and an oppositely located
plate between which cone or wedge part and plate the thread to be cleared and
evened is drawn, substantially as described and shewn.
2. The arrangement of the plate referred to in Claim 1 so that it may be
turned to one side, for the purpose specified, substantially as described and shewn.
3. The combination with the cone or wedge part referred to in Claim 1 with a
scale and pointer for indicating the thread number by turning which pointer the
cone or wedge part is correspondingly adjusted from the pointer spindle, through
toothed wheels and screw, for the purpose specified, substantially as described
and shown.
