Improvements in Ring Spinning Machines.
I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE, of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of
London, Consulting Engineer & Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to obviate a serious objection that obtains with
ordinary ring spinning machines by preventing the threads being wound on two
adjoining spindles from striking against one another in consequence of excessive
ballooning, and consequently breaking during the operation of the machine.
For this purpose according to this invention the machine is provided with anti-
ballooning gratings, as herineafter described with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a front clevation;
Fig. 2 a side elevation partly in section; and
Fig. 3 is a plan of part of a ring spinning machine shewing a number of ring
spindles between which are arranged anti-ballooning gratings according to this
invention.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation;
Fig. 5 is a side clevation; and
Fig. 6 is a plan of the anti-ballooning grating, shown separately and to a larger
scale.
The ring spindles a firmly screwed on the spindle frame d with their bobbins
in position, are shown in Figs. 1 to 3 with full cops c of yarn. The ring frame or
carriage e with its travellers g which take up the thread m coming from the thread
guide regulates and effects by its ordinary up and down movement the desired
formation of the cops.
Between every two rings or spindles of the ring spinning machine there is
according to this invention provided a partition i such that the thread in which
during the working of the machine is caused to bulge outwardly by centrifugal
action, will be prevented from coming into collision with the threads of the
adjacent bobbins.
An anti-ballooning grating in the form of a perforated or open-work partition
or frame as shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 with horizontal connecting pieces is most
suitable for this purpose. This grating has no projecting parts with which the
gyrating thread can engage, and each spindle remains constantly in view. The
anti-ballooning grating, is fixed at its lower and slightly widened end by means of
a small screw to the rear side of the ring carriage. The grating is fixed perpen-
dicularly to the ring carriage in the movements of which it participates.
A grating of the kind described will prevent the threads striking one another
and being thus broken during the operation of the machine.

Improvements in Ring Spinning Machines.

Austria.
I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the County of

[Price 6d.]

page_text: described and ascertained in an. by the following statement :—
The object of this invention is to obviate a serious objection that obtains with
ordinary ring spinning machines by preventing the threads being wound on two
adjoining spindles from striking against one another in consequence of excessivo
ballooning, and consequently breaking during the operation of the machine.
For this purpose according to this invention the machine is provided with anti-
ballooning gratings, as hereinafter described with reference to the drawings left
with my Provisional Specification in which,
Fig. is a front elevation:
Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section; and
Fig. 3 is a plan of part of a ring spinning machine shewing a number of ring
spindles between which are arranged anti-ballooning gratings according to this
invention.
Fig. is a front elevation,
Fig. 5 is a side elevation; and
Fig. 6 is a plan of the anti-ballooning grating, shown separately and to a larger
scale.
The ring spindles a firmly screwed on the spindle framed with their bobbins h
in position, are shown in Figs. 1 to 3 with full cops of yarn. The ring frame or
carriage e with its travellers y which take up the thread 'm coming from the thread
guide regulates and effects by its ordinary up and down movement the desired
formation of the cop*.
Between every two rings or spindles of the ring spinning machine there is
according to this invention provided a partition such that the thread m which
during the working of the machine is caused to bulge outwardly by centrifugal
nction, will be prevented from coming into collision with the threads of the adjacent
bobbins.
An anti-ballooning grating in the form of a perforated or open-work partition
or frame as shown in Figs. 45 and 6 with horizontal connecting pieces is most
suitable for this purpose. This grating has no projecting parts with which the
gyrating thread can engage, and each spindle remains constantly in view. The
anti-ballooning grating is fixed at its lower and slightly widened end by means of
a small screw to the rear side of the ring frame or carriage. The grating is
fixed perpendicularly to the ring frame or carriage, in the movements of which
it participates, or parallel to the bobbins or spindles.
A grating of the kind described will prevent the threads striking one another and
being thus broken during the operation of the machine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion am in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. l'or preventing collision between the threads being wound upon two adjacent
bobbi is or spindles in a ring spinning machine, partitions arranged perpendicularly
on the ring frame or carriage e or parallel to the bobbins or spindles, there being
ono partition between every two bobbins or spindles as set forth.
2. A partition such as referred to in Claim 1, for the purpose specified consisting
of a frame i with horizontal connecting pieces as described.
