PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Mounting of the Spindles of Roving, Slubbing,
Winding, Doubling, and Intermediate Frames used in the
Preparation of Textile Fibres.
I FRANK GARNISS of the firm of Garniss, Ashworth and Company of 43 Lower
Mosley Street, of the City of Manchester, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My said invention relates to the bearings of the vertical spindles of slubbing, roving,
winding doubling and intermediate frames used in the preparation of textile fibres.
Spindles used in these frames are supported in a footstep in the lower rail and in a
bolster in the upper rail. The improvement relates to the said bolster bearing in the
upper rail. As at present used this bearing consists of a sleeve bored to fit the spindle
and bolted by jamb nuts to the upper rail. It frequently happens that when the
sleeve is secured in position by the nut or nuts it does not lie absolutely in line with
the foot step in the lower rail. As a consequence it binds the spindle and has to be
carefully fitted and adjusted truly in line. Even when the bearings have been properly
adjusted relatively to each other, any accidental sinking of the frame may again throw
them out of truth. According to my invention I provide for the automatic self
adjustinent of the top bearing so that no fitting or adjustment is required and any
accidental changes in the level of the frame will not effect the truth of the bearings.
My improved sleeve bearing is formed in two parts consisting of an upper and a lower
tube. The lower part is bored to clear the spindle and is formed with a collar at the
top. The usual jamb nuts are applied beneath to secure it to the upper rail. The
interior of the collar is hollowed out to form a socket to receive and fit a rounded or
ball shaped nose on the foot of the upper part of the bearing. This upper part is
bored to fit the spindle accurately and is connected to the lower part by a union ring
or coupling which screws upon the collar of the lower part and so confines the spherical
nose of the upper part in the socket of the lower part, the two parts being thus con-
nected by a ball and socket joint which allows the upper part to move freely relatively
to the lower part. The upper part is thus allowed accomodate itself to any inclination
of the spindle and requires no fitting or adjustment, while at the same time the hearing
is held firmly in position by means of the ring union or coupling.

I FRANK GARNISS of the firm of Garniss Ashworth and Company of 43 Lower
Mosley Street in the City of Manchester Engineer 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 and accompanying
drawings:
My said invention relates to the hearings of the vertical spindles of slubbing
roving winding doubling and intermediate frames used in the preparation of textile
fibres. Spindles used in these frames are supported in a footstep in the lower rail and
in a bolster in the upper rail. The improvement relates to the said bolster bearing in
the upper rail. As at present used this bearing consists of a sleeve bored to fit the

the sleeve is secured in position by the nut or nuts it does not lie absolutely in line
with the footstep in the lower rail. As a consequence it binds the spindle and has to
be carefully fitted and adjusted truly in line. Even when the bearings have been
properly adjusted relatively to each other any accidental sinking of the frame may
again throw them out of truth.
According to my invention I provide for the automatic self adjustment of the top
bearing so that no fitting or adjustment is required and any accidental changes in the
level of the frame will not effect the truth of the bearings.
To render my invention perfectly clear I will now refer particularly to the annexel
drawing which clearly illustrates the improvement. My improved bearing is formed
in two parts consisting of an upper sleeve a and a lower tube b. The lower part is
bored to clear the spindle c and is formed with a collar at the top. The usual jamb
nuts de are applied beneath to secure it to the upper rail. The interior of the collar,
is hollowed out as shown so as to form a socket to receive and fit a rounded or ball
shaped nose a¹ on the foot of the upper part a of the bearing. This upper part a is
bored to fit the spindle c accurately and is connected to the lower part by a union
nut or coupling which screws upon the collar of the lower part and so confines
the spherical nose a¹ of the upper part a in the socket of the lower part b the two
parts a and b being thus connected by a hall and socket joint which allows the upper
part a to move freely relatively to the lower part b. The upper part a is thus allowed
to accomodate itself automatically to any inclination of the spindle c and requires no
fitting or adjustment while at the same time the bearing a is held firmly in position
by means of the union nut or coupling f.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is
The improved mode of mounting the spindles of roving slubbing winding doubling
and intermediate frames used in the preparation of textile fibres substantially as
described and shown.
