We, JAMES WHITE, Mechanic, and the Firm of HOLLINGRAKE AND CLEGG.
LIMITED, Worsted Spinners, all of Miall Street Mills, Halifax, in the County of
York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The
This invention relates to improvements in gill drawing boxes for treating
fibres, the object being to so construct the boxes that the fallers are raised and
depressed by their operating cams horizontally and parallel one to another so
that the tendency for the fallers to become wedged in their operating screws
by one end being raised or lowered before the other is obviated, and conse-
quently there is less liability to breakage or damage. The fallers are also
prevented from rebounding when thrown up or down by their cams.
invention consists in a novel construction of spring saddle, and dispensing
with the spring guides heretofore necessary at each end of the screws.
According to this invention each saddle is made in two parts placed end to
end and free to slide telescopically one within the other. Each portion of the
saddle is carried on a nut or stud which passes through a slot therein, and into
a fixed slide or bed, and between the two portions of the saddle is a spiral
spring which tends to keep them open or apart. The ordinary spring guides
or bars at each end of the saddle are dispensed with, and rigid bars substituted
therefor.
When a faller is depressed or raised by its cams it is forced past the end of
the saddle (the spring in the latter being compressed) and between the latter
and the rigid bar by which it is steadied in its movement, and as soon as the
faller has passed the end of the saddle, the latter is extended by the spiral
spring and the end protruded beyond and over (or under) the end of the faller
and prevents its rebounding.

Improvements in Gill Drawing Frames.
We, JAMES WHITE, Mechanic, and the Firm of HOLLINGRAKE AND CLEGG
LIMITED, Worsted Spinners, all of Miall Street Mills, Halifax, in the County of
York, 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:
in will drawing boxes for treating

page_text: fibres, the object being to so construct the boxes that the fallers are raised and
depressed by their operating cams horizontally and parallel one to another so
that the tendancy for the fallers to become wedged in their operating screws
by one end being raised or lowered before the other is obviated and conse-
quently there is less liability to breakage or damage. The fallers are also
prevented from rebounding when thrown up or down by their cams. The
invention consists in a novel construction of spring saddle and dispensing
with the spring guides heretofore necessary at each end of the screws.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,
in which
Fig. 1 is a side or internal view of a gill drawing box made in accordance
with this invention, the fallers being shewn in section.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the saddle drawn about full size.
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the saddle in its slide or bed, the bolts or
studs being shewn in elevation and about full size.
Fig. 4 is an end view of one portion of the saddle.
According to this invention each saddle 1 is made in two parts 1, 2 placed
end to end and one portion 1 is recessed at 1 and the other portion 2 has a
tongue 2 received in such recess 1* so that the two portions of the saddle are
free to slide telescopically one within the other. Each portion 1, 2 of the
saddle is carried on a bolt or stud 3 which passes through a slot 4 therein, and
into a fixed slide or bed 5 constituting part of the machine, and between the
two portions 1, 2 of the saddle is a spiral spring 6 which tends to keep them
open or apart. The ordinary spring guides or bars at each end of the saddle
are dispensed with and rigid bars 7, 7 substituted therefor. At S is a plate or
washer preferably placed between the saddle and the heads of the bolts 3, but
this is not essential to the invention. The bars 7, 7 are carried in brackets 9, 9,
adjustable in slots, 10, 10 in the slide 5 and fixed by nuts and bolts 11, 11.
The action is as follows:-When a faller 9 is depressed or raised in the
ordinary manner by its cams it is forced past the end of the saddle (the spring 6
in the latter being compressed) and between the latter and the rigid bar 7 by
which it is steadied in its movement, and as soon as the faller 9 has passed
the end of the saddle, the latter is extended by the spiral spring 6 and the end
protruding beyond and over (or under as the case may be) the end of the
faller 9 prevents its rebounding.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:-
--
(1) The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts consti-
tuting the improved gill drawing box as and for the purpose herein described
and substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
(2) In gill drawing boxes a spring or telescopic saddle combined with the
rigid bars 7, 7 as and for the purpose herein described and substantially as
illustrated by the annexed drawings.
