PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement applicable to Roving, Slubbing, and Intermediate
Frames.
I, EDWIN BARNES, of 38, Saville Street, Miles Platting, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to means'
whereby the spindles in roving, slubbing, and intermediate frames may be
adjusted in a vertical position without requiring the snug to be filed to 'form a
seating on which to fit the collar of the Mason tube.
For the purpose of this invention I form the top and bottom of the hole in
the snug that is attached to or forms a part of the top rail and through which
the lower end of the "Mason" tube or bolster is fixed, concave, in which a convex
ring that can be slipped on to the aforesaid tube may rest, one of said rings
being at the top and one on the underside of the snug. In order to place the
Mason tube or bolster in a vertical position without requiring the snug to
be filed, a convex ring is placed in the concave top of the snug and the lower
end of the tube passed through the ring and the snug. A convex ring is slipped
on to the lower end of the tube so as to come against the concave underside of
the snug the usual ferrule is then placed on the bottom end of the tube and the
nut screwed up against it but not tightly; the spindle is then put through the
tube, the bottom end resting on the footstep in the bottom rail and the tube being
then in a vertical position the nut thereon is screwed up firmly, the coned or
convex shape of the rings forming an adjustable bearing. In a modification of
my invention I form the underside of the collar of the "Mason" tube or bolster
convex to effect the same purpose as the convex ring herein before described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement applicable to Roving, Slubbing, and Intermediate
Frames.
I, EDWIN BARNES, formerly of 38, Saville Street, now of 19, Dale Street, Miles
Platting, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Mechanic, 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:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to means

page_text: whereby the spindles in roving, slubbing, and intermediate frames may be
adjusted and retained in a vertical position without requiring the snug to be
filed to form a seating on which to fit the collar of the Mason" tube.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 is a vertical section and Fig. 3 a side view
showing my invention applied to the snug rail of a machine such as hereinbefore
named.
Figs. 4 and 5 are modifications of the same invention: In these drawings similar
letters refer to similar parts..
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, for the purpose herein before named the top
and bottom of the hole is formed concave in the snug a¹ that is attached to
or forms a part of the top rail a in a roving or like frame, and convex rings or
washers are formed to fit into said concave portions of the snug. In order
"
in
to place the Mason" tube or bolster e in a vertical position without requiring
either the lower edge of the collar of the Mason" tube or the snug to be
filed, the lower end c of the tube is passed through the aforesaid ring d, snug a',
and ring d¹, the collar of the tube e resting on the flat surface of the upper
ring the ordinary ferrule e is placed on the bottom end of the tube
contact with the flat surface of the lower ring d and the nut f is screwed up
against it but not tightly: the spindle which may be g is then put through the
tube c the bottom end of the spindle resting on a footstep as in the bottom railį,
the washers d and enabling the bearings in the snug to be self adjusting permit
the tube e to be placed in a vertical position without any fitting of the collar or
snug and to be firmly retained in the vertical position by screwing up tightly the
nut and the lock nut f¹.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the upper end only of the hole b is formed
concave and the flat surface of the bottom washer is placed against the flat
surface on the underside of the snug with the convex portion of the ring d
resting in the ferrule e that is formed to fit on to said ring d¹. In the modifica-
tion shown in Fig. 5 the flat surfaces of the convex rings or washers d and d¹, fit
against the flat upper and lower surfaces of the snug a¹, and the underside of
the collar 2, on the "Mason" tube and the upper side of the ferrule e are formed
concave to fit on to the convex surfaces of the aforesaid washers d and d¹.
In both of these 'modifications the tube c is placed and retained in a vertical
position in the manner hereinbefore described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
23
Adjusting the spindles in roving, slubbing, intermediate and like frames by
the combination with the Mason tube of convex rings or washers as d and
or their equivalents for obtaining an adjustable seating for said tube and enabling
the spindles to be placed in vertical positions without requiring the collar of the
"Mason tube or the snug on the top rail of the frame to be fitted to each
other substantially as described and as shown on the drawings.
