PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Adjustable Guide and Cleaner applicable to Machines
for Winding Yarn or Thread.
We HENRY WREN, HENRY CHARLES WREN, and FREDERIC WREN, all o
London Road Iron Works Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Engineers and
Machinists, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to provide an improved combined guide and
cleaner applicable to machines for winding yarn or thread..
The appliance consists of a small slide fixed upon the guide rail and provided
with a vertical bracket made with a hole or slot through which passes an adjusting
screw having a suitable milled head or other convenient means of turning the same.
This screw adjusts the position of a bracket which can move on the fixed slide
above named. The foot of this adjustable bracket is also slotted and a screw
passes through the slot and is fixed in the slide. The adjustable bracket is also
provided with a vertical projection or projections carrying the vertical guide plates
which can be set at a distance from each other suitable to the count of yarn or
thread which is to be wound. Each plate is fastened by screws and is made with
horizontal slots through which the screws pass the latter being tightened down to
fix the plates at the required distance apart.
The position of the bracket on the slide is adjusted to set the guide exactly in
the centre of its traverse along the bobbin spool or tube on which the yarn or thread
is to be wound. The guide plates are set as above described at a suitable distance
apart to clean the yarn or thread which is to be wound; this distance is obtained
by placing a gauge plate between the guide plates and setting the latter close
against either side thereof.

We HENRY WREN, HENRY CHARLES WREN, and FREDERIC WREN all of
London Road Iron Works Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Engineers and
Machinists, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide an improved combined guide and
cleaner applicable to machines for winding yarn or thread; and the same will be
readily understood from the following description on reference to the annexed
drawings of which Fig. 1 is a back view, Fig. 2 a side view and Fig. 3 a plan of an
adjustable guide and cleaner constructed according to our invention.
The appliance consists of a small slide a fixed upon the guide rail r and provided
with a vertical bracket a* made with a hole or slot through which passes an
adjusting screw c having a suitable milled head or other convenient means of turning
This screw c adjusts the position of a bracket 6 which can move on the
the same.
fixed slide a.

page_text: The foot 6' of this adjustable bracket b is also slotted (see Fig. 3) and a screw b³
passes through the slot and is fixed in the slide a. The adjustable bracket 6 is also
provided with a vertical projection or projections d d carrying the vertical guide
plates eel which can be set at a distance from each other suitable to the count of
yarn or thread which is to be wound. Each plate is fastened by screws ff and is
made with horizontal slots (see Fig. 1) through which the screws f f pass, the
latter being tightened down to fix the plates e e' at the required distance apart.
The position of the bracket b on the slide a is adjusted to set the guide exactly
in the centre of its traverse along the bobbin spool or tube on which the yarn or
.thread is to be wound. The guide plates e e¹ are set as above described at a suitable
distance apart to clean the yarn or thread which is to be wound, this distance is
obtained by placing a gauge plate between the guide plates and setting the latter
-close against either side thereof.
We propose also to round one edge of each guide plate e e¹ (see Fig. 3) so that
when the guide is not required as a cleaner the said plates can be reversed and the
two rounded edges brought together.
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 :-
The combination of a bracket adjustable on a slide fixed to the guide rail, the
said bracket being provided with two adjustable guide plates, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.
