IMPROVEMENTS IN MULES FOR SPINNING FIBRES to be as follows:-
Year: 1884

page_text: We JAMES SAMUEL COOKE Carpet Manufacturer and ARTHUR HARDWICK
Foreman Spinner both of Liversedge in the County of York do hereby declare
the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MULES FOR SPINNING
FIBRES to be as follows:-
"
This Invention relates to further improvements in machinery as aforesaid for
which Royal Letters Patent were granted to us dated the 22nd day of June 1882.
Numbered 2963 and consist of improved sickle fallers and levers constructed and
operated to work in combination with the duplicate spindles and rollers.
We employ on the winder shaft two discs having a boss between them to which
is attached a spring blade or spring strap extending to and partly enclosing a
pulley on an additional faller shaft-a spiral spring ensuring the return partial
rotary motion of the shaft-On the counter faller shaft is a sickle faller and arm
the latter is connected by an arm, and eccentric, and chain with a second on which
is mounted a second sickle faller so that the two sickle fallers work and move in
unison there being springs and weights for imparting the return motion to the
winding fallers, the winding fallers being mounted on separate fingers on the
winding shaft the fingers derive their motion from their respective shafts and are
correctly timed as to their movements thereby.
Dated this First day of January 1884

This invention relates to further improvements in machinery as aforesaid for
which Royal Letters Patent were granted to us dated the 22nd day of June 1882
Numbered 2963 and consist of improved sickle fallers and levers constructed and
operated to work in combination with the duplicate spindles and rollers.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention, reference is to be had
to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which :--
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of part of mule shewing the improved duplicate sickle
fallers in position.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation.
Fig. 3 is a detail enlarged scale.
We employ on the winder shaft 1, two discs 2, 3, having a boss 4, between them,
to which discs, is attached, a spring blade or spring strap 5, extending to, and
partly enclosing, pulleys 6, 6, on an additional faller shaft 7-a spiral spring 8,
ensuring the return partial rotary motion, of the shaft 7-On the counter faller
shaft 8 is a sickle faller 9, and disc arm 10, the latter being connected by chain 12,
to the disc 11, on which is the second faller 14, so that the two sickle fallers 9, 14,
work and move, in unison, there being a spring 15, and weight 16, for imparting
the return motion of the fallers 9, 14 and 17-The spring 15 is for drawing back
the winder faller 17-the weight 16, is attached to the counter faller 9, and the
latter being connected by chain 12, to the disc 11, of the faller 14, thus the 9
and 14 are moved through the agency of the said weight 16.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed-I declare that what
I claim is
1. The sickle fallers 9, and 14, when connected and combined, by chain 12, as
illustrated by Fig. 1 of the annexed drawings.
2. The pulleys 2, and 3, on winder shaft 1, and pulleys 6, 6, on faller shaft 7,
connected by strap 5, and in combination, as illustrated, and herein described.
Dated this 17th day of September 1884.
