PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Flyers for Spinning
Machinery.
I, THOMAS KILVINGTON HATTERSLEY, of Spindle Works, Leeds, Yorkshire.
Spindle and Flyer Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention
to be as follows
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of close topped flyers
for the spindles of spinning machines and the like.
In accordance with the improvements, the head of the flyer, from which the arms
thereof descend, is made of a cylindrical formation, and a surrounding recess is
made at the junction of the head with the shoulder parts of the arms. The usual
provision for the connection of the flyer with the spindle is made by drilling
and tapping a hole in the said head of the flyer, but the operation is facilitated
by the application of the present improvements, as such hole can be both drilled
and tapped right through the head. The closing of the top of the drilled and
tapped head is effected by a ferrule which is stamped from a plain disc into a
tubular form adapted to fit around the head of the flyer, its bottom edge being
milled or turned into the said recess surrounding the junction of the head with the
shoulder parts of the arms of the flyer.

Improvements in the Construction of Flyers for Spinning
Machinery.
I, THOMAS KILVINGTON HATTERSLEY, of Spindle Works, Leeds, Yorkshire,
do hereby declare the nature of the said 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 an improvement in the construction of closed-top flyers
for use in spinning machinery.
On the accompanying drawings:
:-
Fig. 1, is an elevation, partly in section, representing the parts of the improved
flyer separate from each other.
Fig. 2, is an elevation, (at right-angles to the plane on which Fig. 1, is taken,,
partly in section, representing the improved flyer in condition for use.
Fig. 3, is a sectional plan view on the plane indicated by the line a, b, Fig. 2.
In accordance with the invention, the head of the flyer is made in two parts 4, 5,
the former of which is made integral with the usual arms 6, descending therefrom,
and is countersunk or formed with a surrounding recess 7, (or it may be recessed
at opposite parts or at intervals) at its junction with the shoulder parts 8, of the
arms.
The usual provision for the connection of the flyer with the spindle with which it
rotates, is made by drilling and tapping a hole 9, in the said part 4, of the head
of the flyer, but the operations of drilling and tapping said hole are greatly
facilitated by the application of the present improvement, as the hole can be
both drilled and tapped right through said part 4, of the head, vide Figs. 1, and 2.
The closing of the open top of the drilled and tapped part 4, of the head,
Prime1
is

page_text: effected by the part 5, thereof, which is made of a ferrule-like formation, vide Fig. 1,
by being stamped from a plain disc, (preferably of nickel, though any other
suitable metal may be used) into a tubular form, as represented, adapted to fit
around the part 4, of the head, to which it is secured by its bottom edge being
milled or turned into the recess or recesses 7, surrounding the junction of the
part 4, of the head with the shoulder parts of the arms 6, of the flyer.
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. The manufacture of closed-top flyers for use in spinning machinery, in separate
parts, which are secured together for use, as set forth.
2. In closed-top flyers (for use in spinning machinery) made in separate parts
as 4, 5, manufacturing and securing such parts together for use in the manner
hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 8th day of September 1892.
