PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Yarn or Thread Guides for Spinning and Winding
Machines.
JOHN BRUCE SUTTON of 19 Bristol Street, Hulme, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Mill Furnisher do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My said invention relates to thread guides for use in spinning and winding
machines.
According to my said invention I form slots in a plate of suitable material and
line or protect the edges of the said slots with bent wire which is held in position
laterally by the edges of the slot engaging with grooves or channels formed length-
wise in the wire. Longitudinal displacement of the wire is prevented by projections
from the sides of the slot taking over the ends of the wire. The said projections
are bent outwards from the plate to enable the wires to be slid into position and are
then turned inwards and are so shaped as to form a guide to facilitate the insertion
of the thrend into the slot.
By such a construction the use of solder or other like meaus for securing the
wires is obviated.

Improvements in Yarn or Thread Guides for Spinning and Winding
Machines.
I JOHN BRUCE SUTTON of 19 Bristol Street, Hulme, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Mill Furnisher 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 :-
My said invention relates to thread guides for use in spinning and winding
machines.
According to my said invention I form slots in a plate of suitable material and
line or protect the edges of the said slots with wire preferably of hardened steel
and bent so as to leave sufficient space between to admit of the easy insertion of
thread or yarn without threading.
In order that my said invention may be more clearly understood I will describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. is an elevation showing the slotted plate.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the slotted plate showing the projections bent outwards
to enable the bent wire to be slid into position.
Fig. 3 is an elevation showing the bent wire in position in the slot.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of Fig. 3.

page_text: Fig. 5 is a side view of the bent wire.
Figs. 6 and 7 are modifications of invention.
my
In these figures a is a flat plate of metal having a slot a formel therein. The
edges of the said slot a' I line or protect with bent wire & which is held in position
Interally by the edges of the slot a' engaging with grooves or channels formel
lengthwise in the wire b. Longitudinal displacement of the wire is prevented by
projections a' from the sides of the slot a' taking over the ends of the grooved wire b.
The said projections a' are bent outwards from the plate as shown at Fig. 2 to
conble the bent wire & to be slid int position and are then turnel inwar over the
ends of the bent wire in which position they form a V guide for facilitating the
insertion of the thread into the space d.
In some cases I may curve one end of the bent wire & into the form of a hook in
guard to
the same plane as the other end as shown at (Fig. 6) so as to form a
prevent the yarn or thread rising out of the space d. The same end may be
attained by continuing one of the projections a over the pace d as shown in
Fig. 7.
The advantage arising from the use of my aid invention is that the bent wire
is secured in the slot without the aid o sobler and having no parts projecting from
the plate the yarn is not liable to snarl or gather fluil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sail inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
A thread or yarn guide consisting of a slotted plate a engaging in bongitudinal
grooves or channels in a bent wire band projections a lor securing the wire in the
slot substantially as and for the purpose set forth and shown.
Dated this 10th day of July 1896.
