"IMPROVEMENTS IN BRASS BOBBIN WINDING ENGINES
"
This Invention relates to certain methods of effecting automatic action in brass
bobbin winding engines.
The first described method is for a power machine or engine. In place of the
fuse or cone, I use three wheels all fastened together and placed on the same axle ;
these wheels I will call N° 1, 2, and 3 wheels.
N° 1 is a spur wheel and is geared with the small toothed wheel attached to the
roller or drum of the engine.
No 2 is a round brake wheel.
N° 3 is a spur wheel and is geared with another spur wheel which I will
call N° 4.
No 4 is a spur wheel with a stud or pin placed in it; The axle that carries this
wheel is hollow, through the hollow part I place a round spindle having a double
collar at one end, and between the double collar I place a fork-ended lever and fix
the other end of this lever on the shaft that guides the driving belt.
On the spindle that comes through the hollow axle, I fix a clutch having studs
or pins in it and attach one end of a cord to the clutch.
Under wheel N° 2 I fix an inclined lever brake having one end arranged to fit
a section of the brake wheel N° 2. On the part of the brake that acts upon the
wheel is fixed leather or other material to increase the friction
On the inclined part of lever I place a carrier arranged to slide along the lever,
and to the carrier a hook is fixed to hold a weight. Also to the carrier I attach
the opposite end of cord fixed to clutch, and on the inclined part of lever I fix a
dead stop for carrier.
The second method is for engines worked by hand.
On the fork-ended lever above described I fix a small rod, which when the
Winder's foot is placed on the lever (that would operate upon the driving belt in
case of power engines) causes the rod to intercept the hammer of an alarm bell
connected with the drum or roller.

IMPROVEMENTS IN BRASS BOBBIN WINDING-ENGINES
This invention relates to certain methods of effecting automatic action in brass
bobbin winding engines. The first described method is for a power machine or
engine and consists of the following arrangement of mechanism.
In place of the fuse or cone I use three wheels all fastened together and placed
on the same axle.
The annexed sheet of drawings clearly define my invention
Figure 1 is an elevation of sufficient of a power machine or engine for winding
thread upon brass bobbins as will explain it. Figure 2 is an end view, Figures. 3.
and 4 are views of details.
N° 1 is a spur wheel and is geared with the small toothed wheel 5 attached to
the roller or drum 6 of the engine
-4
N° 2 is a brake wheel
N° 3 Is a spur wheel and is geared with another spur wheel N° 4 provided with
a stud or pin A placed in it; the axle B that carries this wheel N° 4 is hollow,
through the hollow part I place a round spindle C having a double collar D, D, at
one end. Between the double collar D D I arrange a fork end E of a lever F and
fix the other end of this lever F on the shaft G which guides the driving belt.
On the spindle C that comes through the hollow axle B I fix a clutch H having
studs or pins on it and I attach one end of a cord I to the clutch.
Under wheel N° 2 I fix an inclined lever brake J having one end arranged to
fit a section of the break wheel N° 2; on the part of the brake that acts upon the
wheel is fixed leather or other material to increase the friction.
On the inclined part of lever K I place a carrier L arranged to slide along the
lever K and to the carrier a hook is fixed to hold a weight L' also to the carrier
I attach the opposite end of the cord I fixed to clutch and on the inclined part of
lever K I fix a dead stop for carrier to abut against when the machine stops.
· For engines worked by hand I use the fork ended lever above described and I'
fix a small rod which when the winders foot is placed on the lever M (that would
operate the driving belt in case of power engines) causes the rod to intercept the
hammer of an alarm bell connected with the drum or roller as a signal for the
attendant to stop the winding
Having now described the nature of my said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that I claim
The combination of gear wheels, levers and appliances as described in or to
brass bobbin winding engines as and for the purposes set forth
"In witness whereof I the said John Mosley have hereunto set my hand and.
