Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Samuel Ingham, of Luddenden, in the County of York,
Clogger, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN FLYERS FOR SPINNING
FIBRES
"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Samuel Ingham at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 17th December 1881.
SAMUEL INGHAM of Luddenden in the County of York Clogger. "IMPROVEMENTS
IN FLYERS FOR SPINNING FIBRES."
This Invention relates to the class of flyers wherein the spindle is stationary and
a ring and carrier employed in connection therewith and to the flyers of dandy
rovers.
Flyers made according to this my said Invention employed in spinning consist
of a wharve having enlarged disc or head to which the arms or legs of the flyer
are attached the upper ends of the said arms or legs being coupled or connected by
means of a jointed or hinged piece attached to one leg and extending to and over
the top of the spindle and harped or catching up on the end of the other leg.
The ring employed in connection with the flyer aforesaid is attached to the
lifter rail and such ring is provided with an internal groove within which groove
one end or leg of a "carrier " or instrument for guiding the yarn to the bobbin is
received the other part of the said carrier spans one leg of the flyer and is provided
with a loop through which the yarn passes on its way to the bobbin.
In dandy rovers the wharve disc legs and hinged connecting piece are carried on
a centre spindle which is received and revolves within the outer and stationary
spindle on which is the bobbin the weight is thus upon the bottom or footstep of
the short internal spindle.

SAMUEL INGHAM of Luddenden in the County of York, Clogger. "IMPROVEMENTS
IN FLYERS FOR SPINNING FIBRES."
This Invention relates to the class of flyers whereon the spindle is stationary
and a ring and carrier employed in connection therewith, and to the flyers of dandy
rovers.
In flyers made according to this my said Invention the arms or legs of the flyer
are crooked at the upper ends of the said arms or legs and coupled or connected by
means of clasps extending to and over the top of the spindle and hasped or catching
upon the end of both legs of the flyer.
The ring employed in connection with the flyer aforesaid is attached to the
lifter rail.
In dandy rovers the wharle, disc, legs and clasp and connecting piece are carried
on a centre spindle which is received and revolves_within the outer-and-stationary-
spindle on which is the bobbin the weight is thus upon the bottom or footstep of
the short internal spindle after the manner of the well known Rabbeth spindle and
tube.
Such being the nature and object of this my said Invention I will now proceed
to describe the same in detail and in order that the Invention may be fully
understood I have hereunto annexed a Sheet of Drawings, like figures denoting
like parts.

page_text: Referring now to the modification at Fig. 5 A is the dead or stationary spindle;
B the wharle, C the boss, D, D legs of flyer, E is the flange F the bobbin G the
revolving or live spindle, at H is the cross head. J, J, curls, K, K the crooks on
flyer legs D, D, the wharle B drives by means of the legs D, D and the cross
head H the internal spindle G on its centre point at T, the said spindle having an
outer tube W which is caused to revolve by frictional contact with the cross
head H, the bobbin F being thus assisted in its rotation by the rotation of the
tube W and by the tension or drag on the roving.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this my said Invention
together with the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed or
carried into practical effect I would have it understood that what I claim as my
Invention is
Firstly. The construction and use of the crooked cross head in combination
with and for interlocking the legs of the flyer in manner and for purpose described
and illustrated.
Secondly. The combination of traveller R, ring P and flyer D constructed and
arranged and acting in manner described and as illustrated.
In witness whereof I the said Samuel Ingham have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Fourteenth day of June in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
Witness,
WALTER BRIERLEY,
Patent Agent,
