Improvements in or applicable to Ring Spinning Frames.
I, THOMAS HOLDEN, of Moss Villa, Marple, near Stockport, in the County of
Chester, Mill Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to apply to a ring frame an improved series of
division plates to prevent air currents among and ballooning of the ends of
yarn being spun, each and every traveller being free to revolve or move in its
circular course without having to overcome the said cross currents of air, and
the said plates being easily applied and when applied firmly secured to the
ring rail.
My improved plates are made of flat or sheet metal of a cross shape with a
circular hole at the junction of the arms of the cross which will fit over the ring.
Each plate has two opposite arms, bent up vertically and formed of suitable
length and shape to constitute division plates between the spindles and bobbins.
One of the other pair of opposite arms of the cross is bent down and
round one edge of the ring rail, and the remaining arm is bent down and clamped
round the opposite edge or side of the said rail, and thus the whole forms a
double division plate firmly fastened to the rail.
If one of these plates is fitted to every other or second ring on the rail a
division will be provided at each side of every spindle.
Improvements in or applicable to Ring Spinning Frames.
I, THOMAS HOLDEN, of Moss Villa, Marple, near Stockport, in the County of
Chester, 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 ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to apply to a ring spinning frame an improved
series of division plates to prevent the cross currents of air among, and the conse-
quent "ballooning" of the yarn being spun, so that each and every traveller
shall be free to revolve or move in its circular course without having to overcome
the said cross currents of air the said plates being easily applied, and when
applied firmly secured to the ring rail.

page_text: The manner in which my said invention is to be performed or carried into
practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the sheet of drawings
hereunto annexed and the following description thereof:-
Fig. 1 is a cross section, Fig. 2 a front elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan view of
part of the ring-rail of a ring spinning-frame showing the application of my in-
vention thereto a being part of the ring-rail, and 6 the bobbins, and Fig. 4 is
a view showing the form in which the plates are cut out of the sheet metal.
My improved plates are made of flat or sheet metal cut or stamped out of a
cross shape,(as shown at Fig. 4) with a circular hole c at the junction of the
arms of the cross, which hole will fit over the ring.
Each plate has two opposite arms d which are to be bent up vertically and
formed of suitable length and shape to constitute division plates between the
spindles and bobbins.
One, of the other pair é of opposite arms of the cross is bent down and round
one edge of the ring rail a (see Figs. 1 and 3) and the remaining arm e is bent
and clamped round the opposite edge or side of the said rail a and thus the whole
forms a double division plate firmly fastened to the rail.
If one of these plates is fitted to every other, or second ring on the rail a
division will be provided at each side of every spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The improvements in or applicable to ring spinning-frames consisting of
division plates fixed at each side of every spindle, such divisions being made
from plates of sheet metal cut or stamped in the form of a cross with a hole at
the junction to fit over the ring, two of the arms of such cross being bent up at
a right angle to form division plates and the other two bent downwards and
clamped round the front and back of the ring-rail substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.
