We ROBERT EADIE of Victoria Buildings Victoria Street Manchester in the county
of Lancaster, PETER EADIE, Junior of the same place and JOHN SCOTT EADIE of
12 High Street, Paisley in the county of Renfrew Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to the rings and travellers employed in ring-spinning and
ring-doubling machines used for spinning and doubling cotton and other fibrous
materials and this invention consists in arrangements of rings and travellers which
are better adapted for spinning or doubling cotton or other fibrous materials than the
rings and travellers heretofore in use.
In carrying our invention into effect we form each of the rings which we employ"
with a vertical tubular part secured in any suitable manner to the ring-rail. The
travellers which we make to be used in conjunction with rings formed as above
described consist of a straight or nearly straight shank from the ends of which extend
aras which are parallel or nearly parallel to each other. The extremities of the arms
above mentioned are bent or curved towards each other. When travellers formed as
above described are placed upon rings formed as above described such travellers while
being at liberty to move freely upon the said rings may also be drawn towards the
spindles when the said spindles stop so that when the spindles are again started the
travellers without
spindles and yarns or threads will impart motion to the
the yarns or threads being unduly strained.
The rings and travellers made according to this invention are especially adapted for
building cops on "the bare spindle."

We ROBERT EADIE of Victoria Buildings Victoria Street Manchester in the County
of Lancaster PETER EADIE Junior of the same place and JOHN SCOTT EADIE of
12 High Street Paisley in the County of Renfrew Manufacturers 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 the rings and travellers employed in ring-spinning and
ring-doubling machines used for spinning and doubling cotton and other fibrous
materials and this invention consists in arrangements of rings and travellers which
are better adapted for spinning or doubling cotton or other fibrous materials than the
rings and travellers heretofore in use.
In carrying our invention into effect we form each of the rings which we employ
with a vertical tubular part secured in any suitable manner to the ring-rail. The
travellers which we make to be used in conjunction with rings formed as above
described consist of a straight or nearly straight shank from the ends of which extend
arms which are parallel or nearly parallel to each other. The extremities of the arms
above mentioned are bent or curved towards each other. When travellers formed as
above described are placed upon rings formed as above described such travellers while
being at liberty to move freely upon the said rings may also be drawn towards the spindles
when the said spindles stop so that when the spindles are again started the spindles
and yarns or threads will impart motion to the travellers without the yarns or threads
heing unduly strained. The rings and travellers made according to this invention are
especially adapted for building. cops on
the bare spindle."
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a portion of a ring-
rail and ring and Fig. 2 is a plan of such portion of a ring-rail and ring.
"
a is the ring-rail in which is mounted a circular plate provided with a flange c.
Formed with the circular plate is a vertical tubular part d. The vertical tubular
part d may be formed upon the plate bas shown or may be formed of a separate piece
secured to the plate b in any suitable manner-One of the travellers which we make
to be used in conjunction with the rings formed as above described is shown detached
in Figs. 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawing, Fig. 3 being a side view of the
traveller and Fig. 4 a plan thereof. The said traveller consists of a straight or nearly
straight shank e from the ends of which extend arms f, g, which are parallel or nearly
parallel to each other. The extremities f³, 1 of the arms f. 9. above mentioned are
bent or curved towards each other. When one of the travellers formed as above
described is placed upon one of the rings formed as above described such traveller
while being at liberty to move freely upon the said ring may also be drawn by
the yarn or thread towards the spindle when the said spindle stops as shown in

page_text: Figs. 1 and 2 in which the traveller A is shown in the position which it occupies
when the spindle is stopped the said traveller A being drawn towards the spindle h
by the yarn or thread B. When the spindle h is again started motion will be
imparted to the traveller A without the yarn or thread B being unduly strained.
The position occupied by the traveller when spinning or doubling is taking place
is indicated by the dotted lines ().
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. A ring for use in a ring-spinning or ring-doubling machine and constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described and shown by Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying
drawing and so that the traveller employed in conjunction with such ring may move
freely from the inner circumference of the said ring to the spindle and from the
spindle to the inner circumference of the ring.
2. A traveller for use in a ring-spinning or ring-doubling machine and constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described and shown by Figs. 3 and 4 of the accom-
panying drawing and provided with arms such as f. g. of such length that the
traveller may be drawn inwards towards and into contact with the spindle as herein-
before described.
Dated this Twenty-eighth day of September 1888.
