Improvements in Cone Drawing and Spinning Machinery.

County of York, Bobbin Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in cone drawing and spinning.
machinery, and has for its object the lubrication of the tube and spindle supporting
the bobbin, in such a manner as to save the lubricant and prevent it from flying
over the top of the tube or collar and percolating through the bobbin to the fibre
and damaging same, thus necessitating a frequent substitution of new bobbins for
those saturated with the lubricant as happens at present when working on spindles
of the ordinary description.
On the tube or collar we

mount, in any convenient manner, one or more flexible washers which will retain
a quantity of the lubricant. The washer being of a nature that will retain and
supply sufficient of the lubricant to spindle and tube as is necessary for lubrication,
and will also absorb the lubricant and thus prevent it flying off from the top of the
tube and penetrating the bobbin to the yarn.

Improvements in Cone Drawing and Spinning Machinery.
We, JOHN CLAYTON and DAN CLAYTON, of Thornton Road, Bradford, in the
County of York, Bobbin Makers, 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 certain improvements in cone drawing and spinning
machinery and has for its object the lubrication of the tube and spindle supporting
the bobbin in such a manner as to economise the lubricant and prevent it from flying
over the top of the tube or collar and percolating through the bobbin, thereby
damaging the fibre thereon, thus necessitating the frequent substitution of new
bobbins for those saturated with the lubricant, as is the case at present when
working on spindles lubricated in the ordinary manner.
We accomplish our object by mounting on the tube or collar one or more flexible
washers capable of retaining a quantity of lubricant and which will deliver to the
spindle a sufficient quantity of same during its travel.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we will describe the same
in detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a view of a spindle as applied to a roving frame with our
improvement added thereto.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail of a portion of a tube and spindle having
our improvement attached, and
dification

page_text: The spindle indicated by the letter A. is of the ordinary description, mounted
and driven in the usual manner. The tube or collar B. is formed at the top with
an annular space E. of sufficient size to hold one or more flexible washers C.
Fitted in this annular space and resting on the top of the tube is a suitable cap D.
When it is desired to lubricate the spindle, the before mentioned cap D. is raised
and the lubricant applied to the flexible washers C. which absorb the lubricant
and deliver same to the spindle on its travel and at the same time prevents the
oil from flying from the top of the tube and percolating through the bobbin to
the yarn.
Fig. 3 shews a modification of our improvement in which case instead of forming
an annular space E. at the top of the tube B. for the reception of the flexible
washers, such space is formed in the cap D. in which the flexible washers C.
are placed. By these means a great saving of lubricant is assured and the yarn
not damaged in consequence of the bobbins being saturated with oil as is the case
hitherto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1. The combination of one or more flexible washers C. cap D. and tube B.
arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described
and shewn.
2. The herein described method of lubricating spindles, the essential novelty of
which consists in the flexible washers C. placed in annular space in tube B. or
cap D, and capable of retaining a suitable quantity of lubricant and deliver same
to the spindle as required.
