Improvements in or relating to Ring and like Spinning Frames.
JOHN HENRY BUCKLEY Cotton Mill Manager 34 Mirey Lane Chew Moor
near Bolton Lancs., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to ring or like frames, for
spinning or doubling, cotton, wool, & other fibreous materials, & in the first part
consists of an improved yarn or thread guide to give better control over the
winding more especially when spinning on the bare spindle, that is to say, without
the aid of bobbins or pirns, this is to be effected by the vertically rising & falling
of the thread board or guide, to work in unison with the ring rail, that is to fall
simultaneously with the ring rail, but to rise as desired, the falling of the same
will be actuated by a combination of levers from the copping motion, the fall to be
regulated by a cam, the rising to be effected by a cam connected with the twist
motion. The second part of the invention consists of a stop, or hand friction brake
for the spindle or spindles, to stop the same, so as to facilitate the piecing up of
broken threads or yarn. The apparatus consists of a clip made of steel, or other
metal, or material, lined with leather or other either soft or hard substance, &
when in use is attached to the spinning frame by a stud fixed on the aforesaid
clip, being inserted into a hole, or suitable aperture, in the spindle bolster rail, or
rice versa, the clip takes hold of the wharve or wharve & spindle together, & by
means of a thumbscrew, the attendant puts as much friction on as serves to
stop the spindle, motion is afterwards given to the spindle at the attendant's
pleasure.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Ring and like Spinning Frames.
I JOHN HENRY BUCKLEY of 34 Mirey Lane, Chew Moor, near Bolton, in the
County of Lancaster, Mill Manager 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 refers to improvements in or relating to ring or like frames for
spinning and doubling cotton, wool, and other fibrous materials, and has for its
objects :-First to guide and lay the thread, more particularly when winding on
the cop nose on a bare spindle without pirns or bobbins, in such manner that when
the cop is removed from the spindle the cop nose will be in a state to "ready"
easily, that is, any entangled or disarranged coils of thread can be readily
removed without spoiling the cop. Second, to provide a stop or brake to hold a
spindle stationary so as to facilitate the piecing of broken threads or yarn.
For these purposes under the first part I make use of a thread board or guide
free to rise and fall, and working in conjunction with the ring rail so as to lay the
thread on the cop nose at a greater angle than has heretofore been done, and do
this without putting any undue strain on the thread. The thread board is caused
to fall by a combination of levers from the copping motion, the fall being regulated
DO1

page_text: by the cam which operates the copping lever and the thread board is caused to
rise by a cam connected with the twist or other convenient motion.
Under the second part I employ a clip preferably faced with leather or other
either hard or soft substance. The clip is preferably in the form of a spring and
is attached to the spindle bolster rail or vice versa by a stud fitting into an aperture,
and is caused to lay hold of the wharve or wharve and spindle with additional
force if required by means of a thumbscrew whereby sufficient friction can be
applied to stop the spindle.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a section of so much of a ring spinning frame as
is necessary to show the application of the first part of my invention.
i
a is the main frame or headstock carrying the usual driving gear of ring
spinning frames and which is not shown. b the bolster or footstep rail. c ring
rail. copping lever with attachments d' for raising and lowering the ring rail
in the usual manner. e cam for operating the copping lever and driven in any
usual manner. twist motion shaft. g spindles. 9 driving roller. h, drawing
rollers. roller beam. j thread board mounted on sleeves k, and free to rise and
fall on pins secured to the roller beam i. m collars and set screws on the
pins to limit the distance of fall of the thread board. n lever separate from aud
controlled in its operation by the copping lever d for regulating the fall of the
thread board through the rod and lever o. n' set screw and nuts for adjusting the
contact between the levers n and d. p cam on the twist motion shaft ƒ for raising
the thread board as desired.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-When the ring rail c begins to fall
from the highest point of its travel, the opening p¹ of the camp is opposite the end o'
of the lever o which is then free to rise and allow the thread board resting on
the other end of to fall simultaneously with the ring rail, the fall being regulated
by the lever n which follows the motion of the copping lever d, and limited by the
collars m.
The thread board is raised to its normal position at any desired time and
speed by the camp. By thus allowing the thread board to follow the motion of the ring
rail, such ring rail may have a rapid fall so as to lay the thread on the cop nose at
a greater angle without putting such a strain on the thread as would be liable to
break it.
Fig. 3 is a view shewing a stop or brake under the second part of my invention.
1 spring clip faced with leather or other like substance 2, and affixed to the
bolster or rail 3, by a stud 4 fitting into an aperture 5. The clip 1 fits over the
wharve 6 and holds the spindle 7 stationary whilst piecing a broken thread.
8, thumbscrew for putting additional pressure on the wharve 6 for stopping the
spindle as required. An aperture 5 is provided for each spindle so that the clip
may be applied to any spindle when necessary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. In ring and like spinning frames a rising and falling thread board or guide
operating in conjunction with the ring rail substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
Second. A stop or brake for arresting the motion of a spindle substantially as
illustrated and described.
