PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cap Spinning and Twisting Frames.
We CHARLES BARSTOW, of 15 Prescot Street, Halifax in the County of York
and WILLIAM HENRY KNOWLES, of Binns Hill, Warley, near Halifax in the
County aforesaid, Cotton Doublers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in appliances connected with cap spinning,
twisting, or doubling frames, the object being to ensure perfect lubrication and
free and true running of the tube without frictional contact between the latter and
the spindle carrying the cap, so that less wear and tear of the parts takes place ;
the spindle and cap do not vibrate; and the tube can be driven at a much higher
speed, and our invention consists in mounting and carrying the tube, and wharle,
in a cup of oil or other lubricant which cup is covered and protected from dust
and other impurities by a cap or cover fixed to and below the wharle, such cap and
cover forming a bearing which carries the tube and wharle.
According to this our said invention we, preferably, form the tube, wharle, and
cap, or cover in one piece, having a hole through the centre for the passage of the
spindle carrying the cap. On the lifter rail is fixed a cup for containing oil or
other lubricant, and this cup has also a hole through its centre for the passage of
the spindle, and has also concentric rings or flanges formed in it. The cap or cover
at the lower end of the tube is placed over the outer ring or circumference of the
cup, and two or more concentric rings formed inside such cover, or cap and having
preferably rounded lower edges which rest on the bottom of the oil cup the
concentric rings in the cup, and in the cap or cover forming bearing surfaces for the
tube, and wharle, so that the tube does not bear against, or touch the spindle which
merely supports the cap and the tube, wharle, and cap or cover revolve in the cup
of oil or other lubricant so that they are effectively lubricated and the lubricant
being protected from dust, and dirt does not often require renewing.

Improvements in Cap Spinning and Twisting Frames.
We CHARLES BARSTOW of 15 Prescot Street Halifax in the County of York
and WILLIAM HENRY KNOWLES of Binns Hill, Warley near Halifax in the
County aforesaid, Cotton Doublers 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in appliances connected with cap spinning
twisting or doubling frames, the object being to ensure perfect lubrication and free
and true running of the tube without frictional contact between the latter, and the
spindle carrying the cap so that less wear and tear of the parts takes place the
spindle and cap do not vibrate, and the tube can be driven at a much higher speed,
and our invention consists in mounting and carrying the tube, and wharle, in a cup
of oil or other lubricant which cup is covered and protected from dust and other

page_text: impurities, by a cap or cover fixed to and below the wharle such cap and cover
forming a bearing which carries the tube and wharle.
According to this our said invention we preferably, from the tube, wharle and
cap or cover in one piece, having a hole through the centre for the passage of the
spindle carrying the cap. On the lifter rail is fixed a cup for containing oil or
other lubricant, and this cup has also a hole through its centre for the passage of
the spindle, and has also concentric rings or flanges formed in it. The cap or cover
at the lower end of the tube is placed over the outer ring or circumference of the
cup and two or more concentric rings formed inside such cover or cap and having
preferably rounded lower edges which rest on the bottom of the oil cup the
concentric rings in the cup, and in the cup or cover forming bearing surfaces for the
tube, and wharle, so that the tube does not bear against, or touch the spindle which
merely supports the cap and the tube, wharle, and cap or cover revolve in the cup
of oil or other lubricant so that they are effectively lubricated and the lubricant
being protected from dust and dirt does not often require renewing.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in
which
Fig. 1 is view in elevation of the improved appliances, connected with the
spindle, tube, and wharle of cap spinning and twisting frames.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail drawn to an enlarged scale in order more clearly to shew its
construction.
According to this invention we preferably form the tube 1 wharle 2 and cap or
cover 3 in one piece having a hole 4 through the centre for the passage of the
spindle 5 which carries the cap. On the lifter rail 6 is fixed a cup 7 for containing
oil or other lubricant and this cup 7 has also a hole 8 through its centre for the
passage of the spindle 5 and has also concentric rings or flanges 9. 10. 11 formed
in it.
The inner concentric ring or flange 11 form a bolster or bearing on which
the shoulder 12 in the interior of the tube 1 rests. The cap or cover 3 at the
lower end of the tube 1 is placed over the outer ring or circumference 10 of the oil
cup 7 and the two or more concentric rings 13. 13. formed inside such cover or cap,
and preferably having rounded lower edges, rest on the bottom of the oil cup 7 the
concentric rings in the cup 7 and in the cup 3 and the shoulder 12 in the tube 1
form bearing surfaces for the tube 1 and wharle 2 so that the tube 1 does not bear
against or touch the spindle 5 which merely supports the cap and the tube 1
wharle 2 and cap or cover 3 revolve in the cup 7 of oil or other lubricant so that
they are effectually lubricated and the lubricant being protected from dust and dirt
by the cap or cover 3 does not often require renewing.
The upper end of the flange or bolster 9 may be extended and partly cut away
so that a supplementary flange 15 is formed and the space 16 between this
flange 15 and the interior of the tube 1 prevents oil or lubricant getting to the
spindle 5.
A ring or flange 17 may be formed on the inner concentric ring 13 and this
forms a cover or lid for the oil cup 7.
The oil cup 7 has a cranked lug 18 cast to its outside base and this lug presses
over either the back or front edge of the lifter rail 6 and holds the oil cup 7 in
position without aid of nuts or screws.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of my
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :-
(1). The construction arrangement and combination of the parts constituting the
improved appliances connected with the cap spinning and twisting or doubling
frames, as and for the purpose herein described and as illustrated by the annexed
drawings.

page_text: (2). The tube 1 wharle 2 having at its lower end the concentric rings 13. 13
and the oil cup 7 having the concentric rings 9. 10 and bolster 11 all in com-
bination as and for the purpose herein described and as illustrated by the annexed
drawings.
