Improvements in Wet Spinning Frames.
I JAMES BARBOUR of Falls Foundry, Belfast, Ireland Machinist. do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
_
In wet spinning frames, stands are used for guiding and controlling the
position of the saddles and pressing rollers. and brackets or supports form
fulcrums for the levers which apply the necessary pressure to the press-
ing rollers.
Hitherto these stands and the brackets or supports which form fulcrums for
the pressing levers have been separate and distinct parts so that adjustment
of one part necessitated a corresponding adjustment of the other.
support
To obviate this I propose to make the stand and the bracket or support which
form the fulcrum in one piece so that stands and bracket or
which form the fulcrum will of necessity always retain the same relative position
to one another.
This facilitates the adjustment of the rollers; reduces the parts; and simpli-
fies the construction of the frame.

I JAMES BARBOUR of Falls Foundry Belfast Machinist. 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:-
In wet spinning frames, stands are used for guiding and controlling the posi-
tion of the saddles and pressing rollers and supports or brackets which form the
fulcrum are used for the levers which apply the necessary pressure to the
pressing rollers.
Hitherto these stands and supports or brackets which form the fulcrum have
been separate and distinct parts so that adjustment of one part necessitated a
corresponding adjustment of the other.
To obviate this I make the stand and the support which forms the fulcrum in
one piece so that stand and fulcrum will of necessity always retain the same
relative position to one another.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings

page_text: in which Fig I is an elevation of as much of a wet spinning frame as will
shew the nature of my invention. Fig II is a plan view of Fig. I.
At 1 is the beam which carries the stand 2, this stand carrying the saddle 3
which controls the position of the pressing rollers 4 and 5 these rollers 4 & 5 are
pressed against the retaining and drawing rollers.6 and 7 by means of the lever 8,
spring wire 9 which is provided with an adjusting nut 11 and humbug 12.
the lever 8 being weighted with an adjustable weight not shewn in the drawing.
the pin 10 being the fulcrum for this lever 8.
The arm 2 carrying the fulcrum 10 is cast all in a piece with stand 2.
It is evident that any adjustment of stand 2 will also cause a corresponding
adjustment of fulcrum 10 and stand and fulcrum will always maintain the same
predetermined relative position to each other.
By these means the adjustment of the rollers is facilitated and the parts
reduced & the construction of the frame simplified.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The improved stand as herein described viz. the stand supporting and con-
trolling the position of saddle and also at the same time acting as or forming a
fulcrum or support for the lever which applies the pressure to the rollers.
