I SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster, .
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING, AND OPERATING, OR MOVING THE GUIDE WIRES
ANTI BALLOONING WIRES AND SNARL CATCHERS OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING
AND DOUBLING FIBRES, WHEREBY CERTAIN APPLIANCES CONNECTED THEREWITH AS
HERETOFORE CONSTRUCTED ARE DISPENSED WITH " to be as follows:-
I dispense with the binges which as heretofore connected the thread guide
boards to their carrying rail, the said rail and its connections being also dispensed
with and I provide simple and efficient apparatus whereby the whole of the thread
guide wires, antiballooning wires and snarl catchers may be simultaneously or
individually moved to provide space to admit of dotting.
My improved apparatus for purpose aforesaid, is in form and construction, some-
what similar to a hinge having one wing or flap only, the spaced lugs of which,
and an intervening collar, are bored out, so as to be received upon a longitudinal
rod or shaft-The said collar is, by set screw, made fast upon its shaft, and has
an outer longitudinal rib, upon which the underside of the wing or flap, carrying
the guide wire, or guide wire, antiballooning wire, or guide wire antiballooning
wire, and snarl catcher combined rests, in the working position-When it is desired,
to move the thread guide, or appliances, connected therewith, so as to provide all
necessary space for doffing, the longitudinal rod or shaft will be partially turned,
the fast bosses thereon, will turn the wings, and their attachments upwards whereon
a stop pin attached to one of the lugs comes in contact, with the longitudinal rib
of the fixed collar and prevents the wing being carried, or falling further back,
than desirable, and when the direction of partial rotation of the said shaft is
reversed, all the wings will resume the original or working position-Whilst any
one or more of the said wings, and their connections, may by the attendant be
moved or thrown back individually without operating or moving the whole by
means of the shaft as described.

Improvements in Apparatus for Mounting and Operating or
Moving the Guide Wires, Anti Ballooning Wires, and Snarl
Catchers of Machinery for Spinning and Doubling Fibres,
whereby certain Appliances Connected therewith as hereto-
fore Constructed are Dispensed with.
I SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING AND OPERATING OR MOVING THE GUIDE WIRES
ANTI BALLOONING WIRES AND SNARL CATCHERS OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING
AND DOUBLING FIBRES WHEREBY CERTAIN APPLIANCES CONNECTED THEREWITII AS
HERETOFORE CONSTRUCTED ARE DISPENSED WITH" and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
I dispense with the hinges which as heretofore connected the thread guide
boards to their carrying rail, the said rail and its connections being also dispensed
with and I provide simple and efficient apparatus whereby the whole of the thread
guide wires, anti-ballooning wires, and snarl catchers may be simultaneously or
individually moved to provide space to admit of doffing.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification, in which:
Fig. 1 is an end elevation partly in section of my improved apparatus shewn in
position in relation to the roller beam.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
The several Figs. on Sheet 2 of the drawings are parts detached in order to shew
clearly the construction.
My improved apparatus for purpose aforesaid, is in form and construction, some-
what similar to a hinge 1 having one wing or flap 2 only, the spaced lugs 3 of
which, and an intervening collar 4, are bored out, so as to be received upon a
longitudinal rod or shaft 5, carried in brackets 6, 6, bolted to the roller beam 7,
the said shaft being operated by the handle or lever 8-The collar 4 is, by set
screw 9, made fast upon its shaft 5, and has an outer longitudinal rib 10, upon
which the underside of the wing or flap 2, carrying the guide wire or anti-
ballooning wire 11, rests in the working position-When it is desired to move the
thread guide, or appliances connected therewith, so as to provide all necessary space
for doffing, the longitudinal rod or shaft 5 being operated it will be partially
turned, and the fast bosses or collars 4 thereon, will turn the wings 2, and their
attachments upwards whereon a stop pin 12 attached to one of the lugs 3 comes
in contact with the longitudinal rib 10 of the fixed collar 4 and prevents the wing
being carried, or falling further back, than desirable, and when the direction of
partial rotation of the shaft 5 is reversed, all the wings will resume the original or
working position, whilst any one or more of the said wings, and their connections,

moving the whole by means of the shaft as described.
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. The collars 4, ribs 10, wings 2, and shaft 5, all in combination, and for
purpose herein described, and as illustrated by drawings annexed.
2. The rib 10, wing 2, and shaft 5, in combination, and for purpose herein
described, and as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
