PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ring Spinning and Doubling Frames.
I, PHILIPPE BAZIN, of Conde-sur-Noireau (Calvados), France, Spinner, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in ring spinning and doubling frames
particularly to the travellers, and is an improvement on the invention for which
Letters Patent were granted to A. Vimont, No. 9079 of 1894.
The chief objects of my invention are to prevent the yarn from getting caught
or jammed between the stationary ring upon which the traveller runs and the
upper fork of the traveller and also to reduce the resistance offered by the
traveller to the air.
According to my improvements I form a hook on the upper part of the traveller
and pass the yarn under this hook and through a slit into a hole made in the
traveller and from which the yarn passes to the bobbin. The lower side of
the traveller is formed into two horizontal plates which rest below the ring and
by this construction the yarn is effectually prevented from rubbing against the
stationary ring upon which the traveller runs and the yarn is also prevented
from rubbing against itself as it passes from the hook and through the hole to
the bobbin, and further the resistance of the air is reduced to a minimum.

Improvements in Ring Spinning and Doubling Frames.
I, PHILIPPE BAZIN, of Conde-sur-Noireau (Calvados), France, Spinner, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in ring spinning and doubling frames
particularly to the travellers, and is an improvement on the invention for which
Letters Patent were granted to A. Vimont, No. 9079 of 1894.
The chief objects of my invention are to prevent the yarn from getting caught
or jammed between the stationary ring upon which the traveller runs and the
upper fork of the traveller and also to reduce the resistance offered by the
traveller to the air.
According to my improvements I form a hook on the upper part of the traveller
and pass the yarn under this hook and through a slit into a hole made in the
CD Q77

page_text: traveller and from which the yarn passes to the bobbin. The lower side of
the traveller is formed into two horizontal plates which rest below the ring and
by this construction the yarn is effectually prevented from rubbing against the
stationary ring upon which the traveller runs and the yarn is also prevented
from rubbing against itself as it passes from the hook and through the hole to
the bobbin, and further the resistance of the air is reduced to a minimum.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a traveller made according to my invention,
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of part of the stationary ring which is fitted in
the lifting rail of the machine, the view also shows part of a bobbin and the
traveller in full, and Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 2 showing the ring and bobbin
in full.
In the drawing,-A designates the body of the traveller, and C and I two
horizontal plates, one near each end of the traveller and below the lifting rail
which supports the stationary ring e upon which the traveller runs and against
which a shoulder d on the traveller bears lightly. The traveller is formed with
a hook at G and beyond this hook has a hole H pierced through its body and a
narrow slit h runs from the hole to the outside of the traveller.
In operation the yarn to be wound upon the bobbin passes in front of and
under the hook G and thence through the slit into the hole H and from it to
the bobbin, and in this manner and by these means the yarn is prevented from
getting caught or jammed between the stationary ringe upon which the traveller
runs and the upper fork of the traveller, and further it is also prevented from
rubbing against itself as it passes from the hook and through the hole H to
the bobbin.
The plate C acts as a compensating wing and in order to reduce the frictional
resistance of the air to a minimum while the traveller is running the plates C
and I are made of very thin metal and are set horizontally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In a traveller provided with a compensating wing and a hooked thread
guide such as G the improvement which consists in the addition of a hole and
slit to guide the yarn on to the bobbin substantially as and for the purposes
described.
2. In a traveller provided with a compensating wing and a hooked thread
guide the improvement which consists in employing a flat thin metal plate I
and setting it horizontally substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
3. The general construction and combination of parts embodying my im-
provements in travellers substantially as herein described and as shown on the
accompanying drawing.
