PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in " Cap," "Ring," and "Fly" Spinning Machinery.
I. MATTHEW WRIGHT of Prospect Mill, Wibsey near Bradford in the County of
York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in machinery for purposes aforesaid, and.
has for its objects to dispense with the "top board" and consequently the angle in
the yarn which was heretofore formed thereby, and also to obtain the "twist" direct
from the nip rollers to the " 23 4
cap," flyer," or "ring" and bobbin, as required at the
same time producing yarn with a less twist, and better, whilst the machinery can be
driven at a greater speed.
According to this iny said invention the spindle, bobbin and cap are placed in the
ordinary position, and the nip rollers are placed directly above them, the axis of
latter being in a horizontal line with each other, and the carriage carrying the rollers
is nearly straight above, i.e. vertical with the spindle, so that the "twist" is put in
the yarn direct from the nip rollers to the bobbin, without the formation of an augle
by means of a top board or eye.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in " Cap," "Ring," and "Fly" Spinning Machinery.
I, MATTHEW WRIGHT of Prospect Mill, Wibsey near Bradford in the County of
York, Manufacturer, 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 relates to improvements in cap, ring, and flyer spinning machinery
and has for its objects to dispense with the "top board" and consequently the angle
in the yarn which was heretofore formed thereby and also to obtain the "twist"
direct from the nip rollers to the "cap flyer" or ring" and bobbin as required
at the same time producing yarn with a less twist, and better whilst the machinery
can be driven at a greater speed.

According to this my said invention the spindle, bobbin and cap are placed in the
ordinary position, and the nip rollers are placed directly above them, the axis of the
latter being in a horizontal line with each other, and the carrying rollers are nearly
straight above i.e. vertical with the spindle so that the "twist" is put in the yarn
direct from the nip rollers to the bobbin, without the formation of an angle by means
of a top board or eye.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a complete
description of same, reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a
part of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation in section of my improvements in spinning or roving
frames.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of Fig. 1.
According to this my invention in spinning or roving frames the spindle 1 bobbin 2
and cap 3 are placed in the ordinary and vertical position and the nip or delivery
rollers 4. 4. are placed directly above them, the axes 5. 5. of the latter being in a
horizontal line with each other and the carrying rollers 6. 6. are straight or nearly
straight above i.e. vertical with the spindle 1 so that the "twist" is put into the
[Price 6d1

page_text: yarn 7 direct from the nip or delivery rollers 4. 4. to the bobbin 2, without the
formation of an angle by means of the top board, a metal plate 8 being fixed by
bracket 9 to the front of the frame and having "eyes" 10 formed in it for guiding
the yarn 7 to the bobbin 2.
It will be seen the yarn is carried from the top rollers 11. 11. to the bobbin 2 in a
perfectly straight line but which need not necessarily be vertical, and the frames
whether spinning or roving can thus be driven at a much higher speed, and better
class of yarn is produced.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of my
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :-
The improvements in machinery for purpose aforesaid as herein fully described
and illustrated by drawings annexed whereby the "twist" is put in direct at, or .to
the nip of the delivery roller.
