PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Twisting and Winding Motion for Spinning and
Doubling Frames.
I, JOSEPH HARGREAVES of 303 Halliwell Road, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Manager do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved twisting and winding motion for.
spinning and doubling frames to facilitate spinning or forming cops on the bare.
spindles without the necessity of the spindles revolving. This I effect by mounting
or fixing the cop spindle or spindles in a suitable frame or rail provided with up
and down motions regulated by the ordinary or other copping motions. Above the
spindle rail I fix a rail in which is mounted over each spindle a tubular bearing to
which is attached a wharve or other driving medium and a disc carrying a flyer leg
and curl. In the tubular bearing is mounted a tube fitted with a wharve and curl,
which are driven by a band from a tire or other driving cylinder according to the
amount of twist required. A differential speed. is effected between the upper
twisting portion and the lower winding on portion in any convenient manner, the
latter being driven by bands from a cylinder or by gearing from any convenient
part of the spinning or doubling frame. The yarn as it is delivered from the
rollers passes through the upper curl and down the tube to the flyer leg and curl,
from whence it is delivered on the non-revolving spindle in the movable rail.
Suitable arrangements are employed to move the spindle rail to facilitate doffing.

A New or Improved Twisting and Winding Motion for Spinning and
Doubling Frames.
I, JOSEPH HARGREAVES of 303 Halliwell Road, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained.
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a new or improved twisting and winding motion for
spinning and doubling frames to facilitate spinning or forming cops on the bare
spindles without the necessity of the spindles revolving. This I effect by mounting or
fixing the cop spindle or spindles in a suitable frame or rail provided with up and
down motions regulated by the ordinary or other copping motions. Above the
spindle rail I fix a rail in which is mounted over each spindle a tubular bearing to
which is attached a wharve and a disc carrying a flyer leg and curl. The yarn as
it is delivered from the rollers passes through the upper curl on the roller beam
and down to the flyer leg and curl, from whence it is delivered on a paper or other
tube on the non-revolving spindle.

page_text: Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of another modification of my invention, and
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of my improvements wherein the spindle is
stationary.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding
parts.
A is the spindle; B the spindle rail, and C the tubular bearing rail. The
spindles A are fixed in the rail B, which slides up and down giving motion to the
cops or bobbins on the spindles A, this being effected or regulated by the ordinary
or other copping motions employed in spinning and doubling machinery. The
spindle A is provided with the flange or disc D, on which is placed the "drag"
cloth or washer E. On the latter sits the metallic disc G provided with a convexed
or other surface to regulate the "drag" according to the counts being spun. On
the upper side of the diso G projects the bush F supporting the metallio, paper, or
other tube Hou which the yarn is to be span. To prevent the disc G and bush F
being removed when "doffing" is being performed the disc D is fitted with the
spring or springs S. Above the spindle rail B I fix the rail C in which is mounted
over each spindle A the tubular bearing I provided outside with the wharve J and
diso K On the latter is fixed the flyer leg L and curl M. The tubular bearing I
fits on the bolster N ; the latter being provided with the receptacle O for lubricant.
The bolster N and receptacle O are made or formed together and secured in the
rail C in any convenient manner. The lower edge of the wharve J is provided
with the flange P, by which the same may be arrested or stopped to allow of
broken ends of yarn being pieced by depressing the spring secured to the
rail C. The spring Q also serves to prevent the tubular bearing and its attach-
ments flying away from the bolster N. The yarn R as it is delivered from the
delivery rollers, passes through the upper curl on the roller beam and down to
the flyer leg L and curl M, from whence it is delivered on the metallic, paper,
or other tube H.
In applying this arrangement to doubling frames the disc G and bush Fare
dispensed with, the bobbin T sitting on the "drag" cloth E and disc D as shown
in Fig. 3.
In carrying out my invention as in Fig. 4, wherein the disc D is disposed
above the wharve J, I attach the flyer legs to the disc K, and couple them
at their upper extremity to the ring W mounted in the stationary supporting rail X.
In this case the flyer leg Land curl M are fixed to the upper side of the
ring W.
In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 I dispense with the rail X and provide the
ring W with the angular stays Y; fitted at their apex to the cup or support Z.;
the latter resting on the upper end of the stationary spindle A. In this modifi-
cation the spindle A is without the disc D, which is secured to the tube A¹
passing through the bolster I to the sliding rail B, by which the tube H is
moved up and down by the copping motion. The spindle A is stationary being
secured to the fixed rail B'. On the cup or support Z is fixed the leg L to
guide the yarn R, as it is delivered from the rollers, to the curl M, from whence
it is delivered to the tube Ḥ.
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 I
claim is :-
:-
The respective combinations and arrangements of mechanism forming my
improvements in spinning and doubling frames, operating substantially in the
manner described and as shown in the annexed drawings.
