We JAMES PICKUP and EDWARD PICKUP both of Spring Mill Dean Newchurch
in the County of Lancaster Cotton Spinners do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for "A ROLLER BEAM AND FLY BOARD CLEANER FOR RING OR FLYER
SPINNING FRAMES AND FOR DOUBLING, OR WEFT FRAMES to be as follows:-
"
This invention consists principally of a self-acting cleaner for removing the
fly" or fluff from the roller beam and flyboard of either ring or flyer spinning
frames or of doubling or weft frames.
The cleaner consists of a block of wood or other suitable material covered with
felt or woollen fabric and attached to an endless band which passes around two
grooved pulleys (one at each end of the frame) so that as the pulleys revolve the
band carries the cleaner first along the front of the roller beam and fly board,
then round the pulley at the end of the frame, and returns it along the back of the
roller beam and round the other grooved pulley to its original position and so on
continuously and thus constantly removes the fly or fluff therefrom. One of the
grooved pulleys is driven by a worm and wheel or other. suitable slow movement
from the front bottom roller or other convenient part of the frame.
At the back of the roller beam is a revolving brush or card roller which removes
the fly or fluff from the cleaner every time it passes along the back of the roller
beam.

in the County of Lancaster Cotton Spinners do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for A ROLLER BEAM AND FLYBOARD CLEANER FOR RING OR FLYER
and in what manner
SPINNING FRAMES, AND FOR DOUBLING OR WEFT FRAMES
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
"
This invention consists principally of a self-acting cleaner for removing the fly
or fluff from the roller beam and fly board of either ring or flyer spinning frames,
or of doubling or weft frames.
Fig. 1 on the annexed drawing is a section of the roller beam and fly board of
a ring spinning frame showing my invention as applied thereto and Fig. 2. is a
front view of one end of the same.
a a is the roller beam and b, b the fly board.
The cleaner consists of a block c, c of wood or other suitable material covered
with felt or woollen fabric and attached to an endless band d, d which passes
around two grooved pulleys e, e (one at each end of the frame) so that as the
pulleys e, e revolve the band d, d carries the cleaner c, c first along the front of the
roller beam a, a and fly board b, b, then round the pulley e, e at the end of the frame,
and returns it along the back of the roller beam a, a round the other grooved
pulley to its original position and so on continuously, and thus constantly removes
the fly or fluff therefrom.
One of the grooved pulleys e, e is driven by a worm f and wheel f¹, or other
suitable slow movement actuated by the driving wheel f", fl of the back bottom
roller or other convenient part of the frame.
At the back of the roller beam is placed a piece of rough steel fillet (not shown
on the drawing) or a brush or a piece of card fillet or other suitable roughened
material which removes the fly or fluff from the cleaner every time it passes along
the back of the roller beam, or we may employ a revolving brush or card roller for
the same purpose, and we also employ a small fixed brush as shown dotted in Fig 1.
for cleaning the fly or fluff from the band d, d.
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
The improved roller beam and fly board cleaner for ring or flyer spinning frames
and for doubling or weft frames consisting of a block of wood or other suitable
material (covered with felt or woven fabric) attached to an endless cord or band,
which passes around two pulleys (one at each end of the frame) and causes the

round pulleys along the back of the roller beam and round the other pulley to its
original position and so on continuously so as to remove the " fly or "fluff"
therefrom substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings
annexed.
