IMPROVEMENTS IN BALLOONING WIRES, OR RINGS; AND TRAVELLER. CLEANERS, OF RING SPINNING, AND DOUBLING FRAMES
Year: 1884

page_text: We EDMUND TWEEDALE, and SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works Accrington, in
the County of Lancaster, Managers, do hereby declare the nature of our said
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BALLOONING WIRES, OR RINGS; AND TRAVELLER.
CLEANERS, OF RING SPINNING, AND DOUBLING FRAMES, to be as follows:
This invention relates, to machinery of the class, known as "ring" spinning, and
doubling frames, and consists, of an improved construction and combination of
balloning wire, or ballooning ring, for preventing the undue distension of the
yarn, through centrifugal action, and of traveller cleaner, or clearer, for removal of
the floss or loose fibre, from the traveller.
According to this our invention, we construct the ballooning wires or balloning
ring, of wire or sheet metal, bent or formed similar to the figure 8, thereby
constructing the wires or rings in duplicate, and leaving the requsite opening, for
passage of the yarn to the interior of each eye, and to each bobbin. The wire is
further bent so as to form a support for the 8 in its horizontal position, and also
an eye by which the whole may be bolted to the ring rail, or the 8 may have an
independant support, and a portion of the support projects nearly to the edge of
the "ring" proper, but leaving space for the passage of the "traveller," so that as
the latter is carried round the "ring," the floss and loose fibre catchies the
projection referred to and is knocked off or, removed from the traveller. In some
cases instead of the support of the ballooning wire or ring being bolted to the
ring" rail the foot of the support is semicircular in form, and is trapped and held
under, and by the bottom flange of the "ring" proper.

We EDMUND TWEEDALE and SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in
the County of Lancaster, Managers do hereby declare the nature of our said
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BALLOONING WIRES OR RINGS, AND TRAVELLER
CLEANERS OF RING SPINNING. AND. DOUBLING FRAMES" 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 machinery of the class, known as "ring" spinning,
and doubling frames, and consists, of an improved construction of ballooning wire
or ballooning ring, held in position by means of the flange of the "ring" proper.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention, the following is &
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which
Fig. 1, is a front elevation, shewing part of ring rail ballooning ring and ring
proper in position.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same..
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the ballooning ring.
Fig. 4 is a plan of the underside or portion which rests upon the ring rail..
Figs. 5 and 6 are front and side views of the same.
Fig. 7 is a plan view of part of ring rail.
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the ring detached.
"
At 1 is the support of the ballooning wire or ring 2, the foot 3 of the support is
semicircular in form, and is trapped and held under the bottom of the flange of the
ring 5, the ring being secured in the ring rail by the set screw 6 as ordinary-At 7
is an opening or passage way for the yarn to the interior of the ballooning ring
and to its bobbin At 8. is an ordinary traveller cleaner screwed into the ring
rail 9.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
:
1
The improved construction of anti ballooning ring comprising parts 1, 2, 3,
trapped and held in position by means of the flange of the ring. 5as herein fully
described and illustrated by the annexed drawings.
