IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR WINDING YARNS ON DRUM WINDING FRAMES
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I ROBERT BROADBENT of Phoenix Iron Works Stalybridge in the county of
Chester Ironfounder and Machinist do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR WINDING YARNS ON DRUM WINDING FRAMES,"
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to regulate the length of the traverse of the yarn
to increase the speed of the traverse, and to make less noise in working.
I place the cam, (which is less than the cam now used) for giving the traverse,
low down in the frame, the antifriction bowls or runners in the groove of the cam,
are each carried on a lever, preferably vertical, and pivotted preferably below the
cam in a slot, the guide bar is also connected to the top part of the lever, in a second
slot, the antifriction bowl is also attached to the lever in a slot, so that it is also
adjustable and any length of traverse can be given to the guido bars by adjustment,
or two cams may be used, driven from a central shaft, by gear or other suitable
means, operating the levers as before described, or one cam may be used, operated
from a central shaft, and gear, and one vertical lever, carrying à cross piece to each
guide rail.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
1 ROBERT BROADBENT of Phoenix Iron Works Stalybridge in the county of
Chester Ironfounder and Machinist do hereby declare the nature of my said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR WINDING YARNS ON DRUM
WINDING FRAMES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
|articularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The object of my invention is to regulate the length of the traverse of the yarn,
to increase the speed of the traverse, and to make less noise in working.

page_text: I place the cam (which is less than the cam now used) for giving the traverse low
down in the frame the antifriction bowls or runners in the groove of the cam, are
each carried on a lever, preferably vertical, and pivotted preferably below the cam
in a slot, the guide bar is also connected to the top part of the lever in a second
slot, the antifriction bowl is also attached to the lever in a slot, so that it is also
adjustable, and any length of traverse can be given to the guide bars by adjustment,
or two cams may be used driven from a central shaft, by gear or other suitable
means, operating the levers as before described, or one cain may be used, operated
from a central shaft, and gear, and one vertical lever carrying a cross piece to each
guide rail.
attached.
Fig 2 is a side elevation of Fig 1.
Figs 3 and 4 are modifications of Fig 1 shewing in Fig 4 two vertical levers
operated by one cam, and in Fig 3. two vertical levers operated by two cams A is
the frame, B is the cam or cams placed low down in the frame, the cam is less in
diameter than the cam generally used, the antifriction bowls, or runners C are
attached in the slot or slots K of a lever or levers G (preferably vertical) and run
in the groove D of the cam or cains, the levers are preferably pivotted below the
cam at E, in a slot L, so as to be adjustable. E, F, are the guide bars carrying the
guides J for the yarn or thread. M is the connecting rod between the guide bars F
and the lever G, it being only at one end of guide bars, and only used in Fig 1. and
is connected to a slot H, in the top part of the vertical lever ; by means of the
slots H, J, L, any length of traverse can be given to the guide bars by adjustment;
or two cams B, B, and two levers G, may be used see Fig 3, the cams are driven
from a central shaft by any suitable gear, the levers are connected to the guide rail.
Or one cam B, may operate two levers G, G, see Fig 4 the levers being connected
to the guide rails.
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 winding frames, operating and regulating the length of the traverso by
means of cams and levers, connected to the traversing guide rods, as shewn and
described.
2. Obtaining greater speed with less noise, by the use of the small cam or cams, in
the lower part of the frame operating the lever or levers, as shewn and described.
Dated this seventeenth day of December 1884.
