Improvements in Means for Lubricating Spindles Used in Machinery
for Preparing, Spinning, and Twisting Fibrous Material.
I CHARLES BRIGG Evergreen Cottage Manchester Road, Bradford in the
County of York Machinist and Lubricating Washer Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-.
The object of this invention is to improve the construction of lubricating
washers applicable to the above named machinery, also cups and caps used in
conjunction with the lubricating washers.
I accomplish my object in the following manner,
Through the raised portion in the centre of any cap washer, I form grooves
which will convey the lubricant from the upper recessed face of the washers to the
felt wads contained in recesses under the washers, I also further accomplish my
object by placing a flanged metal cup on each spindle to rest on the lifter rail.
I place metal conical caps with vertical rims which fits on the outer periphery of
the washers, and I form an internal flange inclined to fit the inclined face of the
washers, by these means no oil or other lubricant can be thrown off or wasted, for
it is carried back to where it is originally supplied, these caps also prevents any
loose fibre or dirt being drawn in between the face of the washer and the bottom
of the tube wharle, which with ordinary washers is drawn in and up the inside of
the tubes and retards their speed, which causes slack twisted yarn.
This invention applies also to washers for which Letters Patent were granted
to me and dated the 7th day of January 1884 No. 893, also for washers for which
Letters Patent were granted to me and dated the 24th day of April 1893
No. 8201.
Dated this 10th day of April 1896.

I CHARLES BRIGG of Evergreen Cottage, Manchester Road, Bradford in the
County of York, Machinist and Lubricating Washer Manufacturer, 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 improve the construction of lubricating
washers applicable to the above named spindles in machinery, also cups and caps
used in conjunction with the lubricating washers, to prevent waste of oil and damage
to the fibrous material.

page_text: 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.) Improvements in lubricating spindles by means of improved lubricating
washers provided with one or more radiating grooves to allow the lubricant to
gravitate to the felt wads. The same groove or grooves acting as means to prevent
the rotating of the removable centres. Substantially as described and represented
in the accompanying drawings.
(2.) A lubricating washer for the spindles and tubes for preparing, spinning and
twisting fibrous material, provided with a conical cap of thin metal substantially
as herein shown and described.
(3.) The combination of the above mentioned washer and conical cap of thin
metal as herein described and shown by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 7th day of January 1897
