PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flyers for the Spindles of Slubbing, Roving, and
similar Machines.
We, BENJAMIN ALFRED DOBSON, Engineer, of Kay Street Works, Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, and JOHN WILLIAM WOOD, Flyer Maker, of 1, Boardman
Street, Bolton, aforesaid, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in flyers for the spindles of slubbing,
roving and similar machines and particularly to improvements in those flyers
which are provided with centrifugal pressers.
According to our invention we make a slot in that portion of the presser which
encircles or embraces the hollow leg of the flyer and we then braze or otherwise
secure to the flyer leg a pin or nipple in such a position that when the broad part
of the presser is bent round the hollow leg of the flyer the slot comes over the pin
or nipple and supports the presser. The length of the slot also regulates the
extent of the circular movement of the presser and the broad part of the presser
embracing more than one half the diameter of the flyer leg prevents the presser
being displaced.
The pin or nipple might be forged with the flyer leg instead of being a separate
piece brazed or otherwise secured thereto.

Improvements in Flyers for the Spindles of Slubbing, Roving, and
similar Machines.
We, SIR BENJAMIN ALFRED DOBSON, Knight, of Kay Street Works, Bolton, in
the County of Lancaster, Engineer, and JOHN WILLIAM WOOD, of 1, Boardman
Street, Bolton, aforesaid, Flyer Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
Our Invention relates to improvements in flyers for the spindles of slubbing,
roving and similar machines and particularly to improvements in those flyers
which are provided with centrifugal pressers.
In the accompanying Sheet of Drawings-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a flyer made according to our improvements, Figs. 2

page_text: and 3 are detail views of parts of the same, and Fig. 4 is a similar view to the
sectional part of Fig. 1 but on a larger scale and showing an alternative
construction.
In these views-1 denotes the hollow leg of the flyer, 2 a projection formed there-
with (Figs. 1, 2, 3) or a pin or nipple brazed or otherwise secured thereto (Fig. 4),
3 the presser and 4 a slot therein.
According to our Invention we make the slot 4 in that portion of the presser 3
which encircles or embraces the hollow leg of the flyer and we form with or braze
or otherwise secure to the flyer leg the projection, pin or nipple 2 in. such a
position that when the broad part of the presser 3 is bent round the hollow leg 1
of the flyer the slot 4 comes over the projection, pin or nipple 2 and supports the
presser. The length of the slot 4 also regulates the extent of the circular move-
ment of the presser 3 and the broad part of the presser embracing more than one
half of the diameter of the flyer leg, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, prevents the
presser being displaced. The lower portion of the presser is bent partly round to
connect it to the flyer leg in the usual way.
+
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
In combination the flyer leg provided with a projection pin or nipple and the
presser bent at its top end and provided with a slot substantially as and for the
purposes herein set forth.
