Improvements in Apparatus for Spinning and Doubling.

I, CHRISTIAN ALBERT JENSEN, of 77, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
communication to me from abroad by Julius Kluge, Spinning Mill Owner, of
Lossnitzthal, Post Hohenfichte, in the Kingdom of Saxony, in the German
Empire, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in my correspondent's well known
continuous fine spinning machine, by means of which spinning and doubling
can be performed continuously at one operation and it consists in the use of two
or more spinning tops for rovings of one or more colours each thread receiving
its proper tension and both or all being brought together at the tension roll and
receiving the doubling tension from the spindle.
In my correspondents well known continuous fine spinning machine referred
to the rovings are placed in a revolving spinning top and the rovings in being
drawn out receive a twist, are then passed through the draw rolls, and finally
wound into a cop on a spindle revolving in the same direction as the top so that
the thread is twisted not only when drawn off but also while being wound.
The spinning top is a hollow cylinder provided with a fixed bottom and a
renovable cover having a hole in the centre.
The spinuing top is secured on a spindle stepped into an arm carried by the
frame and serves for the reception of the rovings to be spun.
Exactly over the hole in the centre of the cover there is an eye on one side of
which is fastened a second eye.
The threads are passed through these two eyes and so form a knee by which
neans the tension to be applied to the yarn cannot pass within the spinning top.
Now according to my correspondent's present invention such a spinning machine
s made to perform continuously in one operation both spinning and doubling
y the use of more than one spinning top. Preferably the threads from the top
re passed over a roll before entering the drawing rolls, and after passing the
rawing rolls are collected at the tension roll and pass together to the doubling
indle. Thus the rovings are separately spun as they pass out of the spinning
ps, pass separately through the draw rolls and together receive the necessary
nsion in doubling.
It is understood that the rovings in the spinning tops may all be of one colour
each top may hold rovings of a different colour or the tops may hold between
em any combination of coloured rovings.
By this means a doubled yarn of two or more threads can be produced in one
more colours.

page_text: Under some circumstances the tension roll may be replaced by a guide.
It is evident that any class of spindle can be used with my invention.

Improvements in Apparatus for Spinning and Doubling.
I, CHRISTIAN ALBERT JENSEN, of 77, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a
communication to me from abroad by Julius Kluge, Spinning Mill Owner, of
Lossnitzthal, Post Hohenfichte, in the Kingdom of Saxony, in the German
Empire,) 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 my correspondent's well known
continuous fine spinning machine, by means of which spinning and doubling
can be performed continuously at one operation and it consists in the use of two
or more spinning tops for rovings of one or more colours each thread receiving
its proper tension and both or all being brought together at the tension roll and
receiving the doubling tension from the spindle.
In my correspondent's well known continuous fine spinning machine referred
to, the rovings are placed in a revolving spinning top and the rovings in being
drawn out receive a twist, are then passed through the draw rolls, and finally
wound into a cop on a spindle revolving in the same direction as the top so that
the thread is twisted not only when drawn off but also while being wound.
The spinning top is a hollow cylinder provided with a fixed bottom and a
removable cover having a hole in the centre.
The spinning top, which serves for the reception of the rovings to be spun. is
secured on a spindle driven by bands and pulleys or other suitable gearing and
stepped into an arm carried by the frame.
Over the hole in the centre of the cover there is an eye on one side of
which is fastened a second eye.
The threads are passed through these two eyes and so form a knee by which
means the tension to be applied to the yarn cannot pass within the spinning top.
Now according to my correspondent's present invention such a spinning machine
is made to perform continuously in one operation both spinning and doubling
by the use of more than one spinning top. Preferably the threads from the tops
are passed over a roll before entering the drawing rolls and after passing the
drawing rolls are collected at the tension roll and pass together to the doubling
spindle. Thus the rovings are separately spun as they pass out of the spinning
tops, pass separately through the draw rolls and together receive the necessary
tension in doubling.
It is understood that the rovings in the spinning tops may all be of one colour
or each top may hold rovings of a different colour or the tops may hold between
them any combination of coloured rovings.
By this means a doubled yarn of two or more threads can be produced in one
or more colours.
Under some circumstances the tension roll may be replaced by a guide.
It is evident that any class of spindle can be used with my invention.

page_text: Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings Fig. 1 shews in elevation
and partly in section a portion of my correspondent's continuous fine spinning
machine herein before referred to with two spinning tops arranged for continuous
spinning and doubling in one operation with a cop spindle.
Figs. 2 and 3 shew in elevation the spinning tops in use with other types of
spindles.
Fig. 4 shews in plan one of such arrangements with three spinning tops.
In my correspondent's continuous fine spinning machine referred to,
the rovings A are placed in a revolving spinning top which consists of a hollow
cylinder B provided with a fixed hottom 131 and a removable cover B2 having a
hole in the centre. Exactly over the hole in the centre of the cover 132 there is
an eye on one side of which is fastened a second eye or as shewn on the drawings
the hole B may be excentric and an eye B4 may be fixed exactly over the centre
of the cover.
The rovings pass out through the hole B3 and eye B by which
means a knee is formed and the tension to be applied to the yarn cannot pass
within the spinning top. The rovings in being drawn out as the spinning top
revolves receive a twist, are then passed through the draw-rolls 1) over a tension
roller E by which the threads are held with an even tension during the upward
movement of the flyer and finally wound into a cop, as the case may be, on a
spindle revolving in the same direction as the spinning top so that the thread is
twisted not only when drawn off but also while being wound.
Now according to this present invention such a spinning machine is made
to perform continuously in one operation both spinning and doubling by the
application and use of more than one spinning top B.
Preferably the threads from the tops B are passed over a guide roller C before
entering the drawing rolls D and after passing said drawing rolls are collected
at the tension roller E and pass together to the doubling spindle. Thus the rovings
are separately spun as they pass out of the spinning tops B, pass separately
through the draw-rolls D and together receive the necessary tension in doubling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. A continuous fine spinning and doubling machine in which fine spinning
and doubling are performed in one operation and in such a manner that the
desired tension is imparted to each thread from rovings placed in a revolving
spinning top and thereupon said threads under tension are gathered together and
doubled substantially as set forth.
2. The constructions of apparatus for continuously fine spinning and doubling
two or more threads of one or more colours in one operation substantially as
described and shewn in the drawings.
