[Communicated from abroad by EDOUARD GAST, of 19, Rue Cambon, Paris, in
the French Republic, Engineer:]
Improvements in and connected with the Thread-guides of Ring
Spinning Frames.
I, WILLIAM EDWIN HEYS, of 70, Market Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-:
This invention relates to the thread-guides of ring spinning frames and consists
in the arrangement of the thread guides immediately over the points of the
spindles and as nearly as possible thereto without impeding the passage of the
thread. The thread-guides must have an internal diameter equal to or slightly
smaller than that of the upper part of the spindle.
By this arrangement the pull upon the traveller is greatly reduced and yarn
having very little twist and slight strength may be produced. Also, the relative
diameter of the ring, as compared with that of the spindle may be considerably
increased, and a very slack yarn may be wound upon the bare spindle.

Improvements in and connected with the Thread-guides of Ring
Spinning Frames.
I, WILLIAM EDWIN HEYS, of 70, Market Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Chartered Patent Agent, 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:-
This invention, which will be hereinafter described with reference to the
accompanying drawing, relates to the thread guides of ring spinning frames, and
consists, as shewn in the drawing, in the arrangement of the thread guide in
regard to each of the spindles, immediately over the point of the spindle. The
thread guide T, which may be of the "pig-tail" type, must have an internal
diameter equal to or slightly less than that of the upper part of the spindle S.
There is just room for the yarn Y to pass between the end of the spindle and
the thread guide without being impeɗed, when the thread guide is correctly
placed, concentrically with the spindle.
By this arrangement the centrifugal pull of the yarn upon the traveller is

spun and wound upon the bare spindle. It also follows that the diameter of
the spindle˝relatively to the ring may be considerably increased.
•
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
In ring spinning frames, the herein before described arrangement and combina-
tion with each spindle, of a thread guide concentric with the spindle and as
near to its upper end as will allow the yarn to pass freely, substantially as set
forth and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
