Twisting, and Doubling Yarn.
We, ALFRED AMBLER, of the firm of Abraham Ambler and Sons, of Prospect
Mills, Wilsden, Yorkshire, Spinners and Manufacturers, and HENRY KIRK WHITE,
of the same place, Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
The first part of our invention has reference to the ballooning plates which are placed
between each bobbin or spindle of spinning, twisting, and doubling machinery, such
plates being employed to prevent the yarns coming in contact with each other during
the operation of spinning, twisting, or doubling.
Hitherto the ballooning plates have been fixed between each spindle or bobbin, such
fixed plates being a hindrance to cleaning the surrounding parts of the machine. Our
invention consists in hingeing such ballooning plates to the lifting rail or other suitable
part of the machine, so that they can be removed from their position, allowing free
access to any of the parts in connection with the spindle or ring and traveller.
Secondly, our invention consists in the employment of plates placed between the
bobbins and feed rollers. These plates are provided with slits through which the
yarn passes on its way from the bobbin to the feed rollers, so that if the yarn breaks
above the slitted plate, the loose end will be supported in the slit, and will not fall into
the working parts of the machine, as is now the case without the slitted plate.

Twisting, and Doubling Yarn.
We, ALFRED AMBLER, of the firm of Abram Ambler and Sons, of Prospect Mills,
Wilsden, Yorkshire, Spinners, and HENRY KIRK WHITE, of the same place, Overlooker,
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:-
-
Our invention has reference to the ballooning plates which are placed between each
bobbin or spindle of spinning, twisting, and doubling machinery, such plates being
employed to prevent the yarns coming in contact with each other during the operation
of spinning, twisting or doubling.
Hitherto the ballooning plates have been fixed between each spindle or bobbin, such
fixed plates being a hindrance to piecing the ends and cleaning the surrounding
parts of the machine. Our invention consists in hingeing such ballooning plates to
the lifting rail or other suitable part of the machine, so that they can be removed from
their position, allowing free access to any of the parts in connection with the spindle
or ring and traveller.
In order that our invention may be better understood, we herein give reference to
the accompanying sheet of Drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is front elevation of such parts
of a spinning frame as is necessary to illustrate our invention. Fig. 2 is cross
section thereof, wherein a represents the ordinary stationary rail of the machine for
supporting the usual stud and wharle and tube b, which by means of a band from the
tin cylinder drives the bobbin c. The lifting rail is shewn at d, carrying a ring and
traveller e. To the lifting rail d we hinge in any suitable manner the ballooning
plates, one of which is placed between each bobbin, so that as the lifting rail rises
and falls, the ballooning plates are carried with it. Hinged ballooning plates will be
found handy and convenient, as they can be lowered as shewn in dotted line Fig. 2,
consequently giving room and allowing free access to any of the parts.
It must be understood that although we have shewn the application of these
ballooning plates to ring and traveller spinning frame, that the hinged ballooning
plates may be applied to any other form of spinning frame, and it must also be under-
stood that whilst we have shewn the application of the ballooning plates to the lifting
rail, the ballooning plates may be hinged at the top instead of at the bottom as shewn
in our Drawing, and may be attached to any convenient stationary part of the
machine.

invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
The application of hinged ballooning plates to spinning, twisting, and doubling
machinery in manner and for purposes substantially as herein described.
