England, Wales, the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and in all Her Majesty's
Colonies and Plantations abroad, and in the Islands of Jersey, Guernsey,
Alderney, Sark, and Man, an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN SPINNING AND
TWISTING COTTON AND OTHER MATERIALS CAPABLE OF BEING SPUN AND TWISTED,"
being a communication from a Foreigner residing abroad; in which said Letters
Patent is contained a proviso obliging me, the said William Newton, by an
instrument in writing under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, and to cause the same to be inrolled in Her Majesty's High

page_text: Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same,
reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
William Newton, do hereby declare that the nature of the said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following description thereof,
réference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the letters and
figures marked thereon (that is to say):-
:-
The said Invention has reference chiefly to a mode of supporting the bobbins
in that kind of spinning machine called the cap spinner or Danforth's throstle,
by the same band or cord which is employed in driving them, and to some of
the parts of the machinery by which this use of the band or cord is effected,
whether in the aforesaid kind of spinning machine or any other. Figures 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5, represent the machine as adapted to and worked with two
endless cords or bands, in each of which Figures the same letters denote the
same parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the gecred end of the machine.
Fig. 2 is a front side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional elevation of certain principal parts of the machine
looking towards the driving end.
Fig. 4 is an horizontal view of certain principal parts of the machine; and
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of the spindle cords and carrying pullies,
and certain parts closely connected therewith.
In proceeding to describe the several parts of the improved spinning
'machine, I remark first, that in the first place I dispense with the tubes,
warves, or pullies commonly used for supporting and giving motion to the
bobbins, and instead thereof I bush the bobbins with cast iron or other
suitable metal. These bushes are bored to fit the spindles, and are about
one quarter of an inch deep; their outer surfaces are turned to fit the bore
in the heads of the bobbins into which they are driven three fourths of an inch
deep from the ends of the heads. I next dispense with the cylinder by which
motion is commonly communicated to the warve or pulley on the spindle,
and instead thereof I use a main shaft A of a suitable size (say one and one
eighth inches in diameter), which passes lengthways through the centre of
the machine, the journals of which run in bearings B, B, similar to and in the
same position in the frame as the cylinder journals commonly run iu. On
this shaft is fixed, near the journals, two double grooved pullies C, D, of
convenient size for getting up speed and taking hold on the band (say eighteen

page_text: inches in diameter). These pullies give motion to two endless bands or cords:
E, E, of suitable size for giving motions to the bobbins (say one quarter of
an inch in diameter), one of which operates the bobbins on one side of the
machine, and the other on the opposite side. They are applied in the following
manner, viz-The first leading off the inside groove of doubled grooved
pulley D at a (Fig. 3); thence to grooved end pulley F connected with the
end of the lifter or copping rail G, G, round the said pulley F, ninety degrees;
thence it passes along parallel with the lifter G, about half an inch above it
at a suitable distance from and in front of the spindles H, H, I, to receive
and support the bobbins I, I, I, I, and cause, them to revolve when placed
on the spindles, and their weight resting on it to end pulley J, which is
connected with the other end of the lifter or copping rail G, taking a turn
of ninety degrees round the said pulley; thence it leads on to the outer groove
of double grooved pulley Cat 6; thence round the said pulley C, until it reaches
a point where a tangent line drawn from the lower edge or groove of sliding
pulley K intersects the periphery of the said double grooved pulley C; thence
round the said sliding pulley K, to the inside of pulley L; thence round the
said pulley L, until it strikes a point meeting a straight line drawn from end
pulley M; thence round the last-named pulley ninety degrees; thence in a
straight line parallel with the lifter or copping rail G, G, back of the spindles.
H, H, and the same distance from them as that part of the band heretofore
described as passing in front of the said spindles H, H, and on a level with it
to end pulley N; taking a turn of ninety degrees round the said pulley N, it
passes to the inner groove of double grooved pulley D'at c; thence round
the said double grooved pulley D to a, the place of beginning. The other
band leads off the inside groove of double grooved pulley C at d; thence
round grooved end pulley o, ninety degrees; thence in a straight line parallel.
with the lifter G, the same distance above it, and in front of the spindle H, II,
as described for the band on the other side to end pulley P. Taking a turn
of ninety degrees round the said pulley, P it passes to pulley Q round the last-
named pulley to the upper side of sliding pulley S; round this pulley thence
to the outside groove of double grooved pulley D; thence round the said
double grooved pulley D to end pulley T. Taking a turn of ninety degrees
round this pulley it passes in a straight line parallel with the lifter G, G,
back of the spindles H,. H, and the same distance from them as the.
parallel. part in front of the said spindles, and on a level with it to end
pulley U. Taking a turn of ninety degrees round the last-named pulley,.
it leads on the inside groove of double grooved pulley C at e; thence,
round the said double grooved pulley C to d, the place of beginning. It
will be perceived by this arrangement that those parts of the bands: which

page_text: are in front of the spindles are passing in one direction, while those parts in
their rear are passing in the opposite, so that the bobbins, being free on the
spindles, and their weight resting on the two parts of the said bands, are made
to revolve with greater strength from being in contact with the band in two
places at once; the heads are turned rounding, as shewn in the Drawings,
that they may cause no unnecessary friction on the bands. The bands should
be carefully spliced, in such manner as to make as little inequality in their size
or surface as possible. I prefer cotton cords. Those part of the hands run-
ning parallel with the lifters or copping rails, both in front and rear of the
spindles, are supported and kept in their places by a series of grooved carrying
ullies V, V, V, of a suitable size (say two inches in diameter), the grooves of
which are made rather larger than the band, so that it will work freely in them.
These carrying pullies are fastened to the tops of small spindles fff, about
three sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and about one inch and three quarters
long. They are placed opposite the alternate spaces between the spindles, as
shewn in the Drawing, and at an angle of about forty-five degrees, in such man-
ner that the upper side or groove receives the band or cord, and serves as a
guide for it, as well as to prevent it from sagging by the weight of the bobbins.
The small spindles f,ff, to which these pullies V, V, V, are attached, run in
socket bearings, drilled or bored into hubs g, 9, 9, on the lower side of the lifter,
at a proper angle and position to bring their respective pullies, to which they
are attached, to the position described above, and in a line with each other.
These carrying pullies, for cheapness as well as for lightness of construction,
I make of common tin or tinned sheet iron. The tin is first punched in a press to
a proper size, and then with a pair of dies made to correspond to the shape of
one half of the pulley divided through the centre of the groove in which the band
runs, I form them by pressure. I then punch a round hole, half of an inch in
diameter, through their centres, and by fastening two of them together, back to
back, by means of a brass rivet and washer (the rivet large enough to fill the
hole in the tin, I make a very cheap, light, and durable pulley. The rivets
should be drilled and permanently fixed to the spindles, and turned on them
perfectly true before uniting them with the tins, to ensure the truth of the
pullies. The sliding pullies K and S and the pullies L and Q run on studs,
and their office is to take up the bands when they become too slack; the studs
on which the sliding pullies run are fastened by nuts in slots to brackets W, W,
and may readily be removed to regulate the tension of the band as may be
required. The grooved end pullies F, J, M, N, O, P, T, U, are connected
with the ends of the lifters or copping rails G, G, &c., as follows:-On each
end of the lifters is cast a block x, x, x, x, about one inch thick and three
inches long, running lengthways across the end of the lifter G, G, &c., and

page_text: ;
projecting up at right angles with it, about three fourths of an inch above the cen-
tre of that part of the bands which run parallel with the lifters; through each of
these blocks or projections are bored two holes about three fourths of an inch in
diameter, the centres of which range exactly with the centres of the parallel parts
of the endless cords or bands in front and rear of the spindles; passing through
these holes are studs h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, of a diameter to fit them, and about
two inches long, having a collar i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, with a small shank on their
outer end. The collars on the front or outside studs are made about one
quarter off an inch longer than those in the rear or inside ones, for the purpose of
admitting the radius rods or levers Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, hereafter described,
to pass outside of those attached to the collars of the inside studs without
interference. To the collars of each of these studs are permanently riveted,
by means of the small shanks turned on their outer ends, a radius rod or lever
Y, made of rolled iron, about an inch and an eighth wide and an eighth of an
inch thick. these are riveted to the studs through a hóle made to fit the
shank on the collar of the studs near their outer ends, and extend from thence
to the other studs z, z, z, z, which are fastened to the frame ends near the main
shaft A; these last-mentioned studs,,,, pass through slots which are
made through the radius rods near their inner ends a width to fit the studs,
and of sufficient length to admit the radius rods to slide endways on the studs.
as their other ends rise and fall on a perpendicular with the traverse of the lifters
or copping rails. These studs h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, to which the radius rods
are riveted, project through the blocks x, x, x, x, on the ends of the lifters
about one inch, to which are fastened cast-iron brackets &; h; h; h; h; h; h; ch
by means of sockets bored through hubs on their outer ends to fit the studs;
and are held by set or pinching screws passing through the sides of the hubs.
with their points pressing against the sides of the studs. The brackets &; &;
,, & & & &, support other studs jjjjjj, in which the grooved
end pullies F, J, M, N, O, P, T, U, revolve, and are so shaped as to bring the
points of support of the said studs in a position that will bring the groove in
the front edge of the end pullies when placed on their studs j, j, j‹ƒ‹ƒ‚‹ƒ‚ j;j;
in exact range with the centre of studs h; h; h, h, h, h, h, h, so that the parallel
parts of the bands, in passing from one end pulley to another, passes in rangé
with the studs h, h; h, h, h, h, h; h; supporting the brackets & & & & &, S;
&S It will be seen by the Drawings that some of these brackets are mado
to support the studs jjjjjjjj, at their top, by means of a socket and
set screw, while others pass under the pullies and support the studs from the
bottom as the situation of the pullies require. Those studs, supported at their
tops, have a collar or head on their lower ends; on which the weight of the
pullies rest; those supporters at the bottom have a collar and shank, and are

page_text: either riveted to the brackets or fastened with the nut. These studs are
about seven sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and long enough to afford a
bearing for the pulley to run on one and a half inches long. By this arrange-
ment, as the lifters or copping rails rise or fall, the end pullies F, J, M, N,
O, P, T, U, being connected by the brackets &, &, &, &, &, &, &, &, and studs
h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, with the radius rods Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, have a
reciprocating motion, their planes changing their positions to suit the angle of
the bands as they pass to and from the double grooved pullies C, D, while that
particular part of the grooves of each which directs the bands in their parallel
direction along the lifters, remain in the same relative position with the lifters
or copping rails. Thus it will be perceived that the end pullies F, J, M, N,
O, P, T, U, bave three distinct motions. First, a rotatory motion produced by
the bands passing round them; secondly, an undulating motion with the lifters
as they rise and fall, to distribute the yarn on the bobbins; and lastly, the
reciprocating motion produced by the radius rods and studs, as before
described. I also make use of the following mode or contrivance of
supplying the spindles H, H, H, &c. with oil, and keeping them
constantly lubricated, viz, instead of fastening the spindles directly to
the spindle rails R, R, &c. with set screws in the usual way, I fasten
them to cast-iron cups K, K, K, K, &c. of suitable dimensions (say one inch
in diameter and one inch deep), on the bottom of which are shanks seven eighths
of an inch in diameter, and two and three fourths of an inch long.
The cups
and shanks are cast in one piece, and turned true, and the tops dished out to
form a receiver for oil; the bottom or shank is turned in a cylindrical form to
fit the size of a hole in the spindle rail made to receive it. A set or pinching
screw is put through the side of the spindle rail, the point of which is made to
press against the side of the shank of the oil cup, and thus support and keep it
in its place. In the centre of these shanks, commencing at the bottom of the
oil
cups, is made a cylindrical hole of the size exactly to fit the spindles, about
one and a half inches deep, from the bottom of which a tapering hole extends
through the residue of the shanks, the small ends or bottoms of which are
about one eighth of an inch in diameter, forming conical sockets to fit cones
or tapers on the bottom of the spindles. The spindles are driven tight into
these holes, and their ends riveted at the bottom; this forms a good support
for the spindles, and as the cups and spindles are fastened together they can be
adjusted to make the bobbins fill properly by means of the set screws as usual.
I make the lifters or copping rails with holes through them large enough to
admit the oil cups to pass through them, when the lifters are down and the
bobbins are filling at their tops, for the purpose of bringing the oil cups as
near the bobbins as can be conveniently done. Round these holes I cast a rib

page_text: or projection about three eighths of an inch deep to strengthen the lifters; on
the top of this rib or projection, and supported by it, I place a circular piece of
tin, large enough to cover the holes in the lifter; through the centre of this
circular tin is a hole, in which is inserted, and soldered to it, a tin tube I, I, I,
&c., about one and a quarter inches long, and of a diameter to suit the spindle,
and work freely up and down it by its own gravity, with the traverse of the
lifters or copping rails, the top of this tube projects about one eighth of an
inch above the circular tin or collar, to which it is attached, and is flared out-
wards to prevent the oil from passing over the outside, as it slides over the
spindle; the residue extends below, and when the lifters descend to the bottom
of the tranerse dip into the oil in the cups, and when they ascend they carry
a portion of oil up with them, and distribute it on the spindles; and as the
bobbins follow the tubes in their descent their lower bushes are sure to be sup-
plied with oil, and the bushes being fixed in the bobbins, as before described,
the lower bush, where the lifter goes up, rises high enough to supply the
upper bush with oil. By this arrangement the spindles receive continually a
sufficient supply of oil every time the lifter rises. On the top of the circuler.
tin which forms a collar; and support for the oil tube or feeder 1, 1, 1, 1, &c., I
sometimes solder a ring made of stout tin about three fourths of an inch in
diameter, and three eighths of an inch deep; this ring projects up to within
about an eighth of an inch of the top of the band in which the bobbins rest:
The object of this is to prevent the bobbins from being depressed down between
the two parallel parts of the band by any accidental pressure, or settling down
by their own gravity when the bands are too slack. The copping rails or
lifters may be worked by any of the ordinary means employed for that
purpose, but the plan which I adopt and recommend on machines constructed
for spinning warp or twist yarn is as follows:-There are cast-iron bars or
rods m, m, n, m, &c., about one inch square and about sixteen inches long,
attached to the bottom of the lifters about six inches from their extreme ends;
and as near the first spindle from the ends as convenient; they are fastened to
the lifters by means of set screws passing through the lifters into holes drilled
and tapped in the upper ends of the bars or rods to receive them. These bars
extend down in a perpendicular direction, passing through square holes in the
spindle rails, which serve as a guide for them as well as the lifters which
they support, and cause to rise and fall. On the back side of these bars or
rods m, m, m, m,. &c. are cast racks, the tops or commencement of which are
about four inches below the spindle rails where the lifters are down, and
extend below about five inches; they are so made as to agree in pitch with
pinions of sixteen cogs to the inch in diameter. The bottom of these lifter

page_text: bars or rods m, m, m, &c., pass through square holes in brackets n, n
(shown in Figure Second), which are placed in a position about nine inches
below, and exactly perpendicular to the holes through which they pass in the
spindle rails; thus each bar or rod has two bearings or guides, through which
they pass, and by which they are kept in a perpendicular position. These last-
nanied brackets n, n, are bolted by a flange to the bottoms or lower ends of
other brackets o, o, which are bolted to the spindle rails by a flanch, and
extend down in a perpendicular direction low enough to support the brackets
n, n, for guiding the lifter rods. There is also a slide or stand p, p, bolted to
cach of the brackets o, o, about five inches below the spindle rails, with hubs
on one side, which are bored out to fit the journals, and form bearings or
supports for the lifter shafts q, q, about one inch in diameter, which run
lengthways of the machine, and parallel with the spindle rails, and at a proper
distance from the lifters, bars, or rods m, m, to admit pinions, which aro
fastened to each of their ends near the journals to gear into the racks on the
back sides of the lifter rods. These pinions are one and five eighths inches in
diameter to their pitch line, and contain twenty-six cogs each. It will be seen
that as the shafts 9, 9, are made to turn backwards nl forwards with their
pinions in gear with the racks, that the lifter rods and lifters will be made to
rise and fall. To produce this motion the two lifter shafts are connected
together by a cross shaft r, which has a bevel wheel on each end about four
inches in diameter containing thirty-two cogs. These gear into other bevel
wheels, which are fixed to the lifter shafts, containing fifty-six teeth or cogs
cach; this cross shaft is supported by stands or brackets 3, 8, which are
bolted to the spindle rails. On this cross shaft is fixed a mangle wheel t,
similar to those used for working the traverse or roping machines called counter
twist speeders; this is worked by a pinion containing four teeth made to suit
the pitch of the wheel. This pinion is fastened to the end of a horizontal
shaft u, running lengthways of the machine from the periphery of the mangle
wheel, and extending through the geered end of the machine. It is
supported at the end next the mangle wheel by a stand e, fastened to a
cross piece or bar w, which extends from one spindle rail to the other,
and is bolted to them. This stand has an opening in it, forming a bearing
for the shaft u wide enough to admit the shaft to slide sideways to change
the pinion from one surface of the mangle wheel to the other, to reverse
the motion of the mangle wheel with all that it gives motion to. The other
end of the shaft t is supported by a stand or pedestal a, bolted to the end of
the machine. There is an over-neck on this shaft, extending beyond the
outside hearing, on which is fixed a grooved pulley y about fifteen inches in

page_text: diameter. This pulley receives-motion from an endless band passing round it,
and a grooved pulloy, about three inches in diameter, fixed to the inside hub
of one of the intermediate or carrying wheels on the end of the machine,
which gives motion to, the rollers. The bevil wheels on the lifter shafts are
geared on the reverse side of those in the cross shaft, so that the lifters are
made to rise on one side, while they are falling on the other, and thus counter-
balance each other. I have thus: described the manner in which I work the
lifters or copping rails, by means of a mangle wheel, racks, and pinions, but
something similar has been used before. The rollers are geared from the main
shaft, similar to the mode in which they have heretofore been geared from; the
cylinder; but as this part of the machine, as well as the rollers and roller-gear-
ing is familiar to those versed in spinning machinery, I deem it unnecessary to
describe them. I have described the manner in which I construct the machine,
for propelling the bobbins, with two endless cords; or bands in the entire
machine, or with two parts of the same band in front and rear of the spindles..
But it is obvious that the particular mode of applying and working the bands.
or cords is susceptible of various modifications: Sometimes I use only one
band instead of two, the method of accomplishing which I now proceed to.
describe.
Figures 6; 7. and 8, represent such of the parts of the machine as are neces-
sary to be shewn for the explanation of this method, Fig. 6 being an inside
clevation view of the geared end of the machine. Fig. 7 is an elevation view
just within the driving end of the machine, looking towards tho geared end.
Fig. 8 is an horizontal view of the parts specified. In these Figures the parts
are chiefly designated by numbers, and the same numbers apply to the same
parts throughout the Figures. In this method, instead of 'using: two double
grooved pullies on main shaft A, I use two single grooved pullies 1 and 2,
about eighteen inches in diameter, which give motion to an endless band 7, or
cord for propelling the bobbins, as follows:-Leading off of grooved pulley 1
at 3, it leads on to binding pulley 4, over the top of this pulley to grooved end
pulley 5. Taking a turn of ninety degrees: round this last-named pulley it
passes in a straight. line, parallel with the lifter, and about half an inch above
it, back of the spindles 8, and a suitable distance from them to receive sup-
port and give motion to the bobbins 9; to grooved end pulley 10. Taking a
turn of ninety degrees round this-pulley it passes to the lower side of binding
pulley 11 passing under this pulley it leads on to grooved pulley 2 at 12,
thence round the said pulley 2 to the lower side of binding pulley 18; passing.
under the last-named pulley it leads on to grooved end pulley 14. Taking a
turn of ninety degrees round the said pulley, it passes in a straight line,

page_text: parallel with the lifter 6, the same distance above it, and back of the spindle 8,
as described for the parallel part on the other side of the machine, to grooved
end pulley 15. Taking a turn of ninety degrees round this pulley it leads on
to binding pulley 16; passing over this last-named pulley it leads to grooved
pulley 1 at 17, round this last-named pulley to 3, the place of beginning.
The parts of the band that run parallel with the lifters or copping rails are
supported and kept in their places by a series of grooved carrying pullies
18, 18, 18, 18, placed at an angle of about forty-five degrees opposite alter-
nate spaces between the spindles, in the same manner as herein-before described
for supporting the two parallel parts of the band in the other described mode
of banding. The binding pullies 4, 11, 13, and 16 run on centre pins or
studs, which are fastened by a screw and nut to brackets 20, 20, 20, 20.
These brackets are fastened with a bolt to the frame end; they have circular
slots in which the studs for the binding pullies are fastened, for the purpose of
raising and lowering the binding pullies, to regulate the tension of the band
as may be required. The grooved end pullies 5, 10, 14, and 15, run on studs,
and have a reciprocating motion, as herein-before described, by means of
brackets, studs, and radius rods. The radius rods 21, 21, 21, 21, in this case
are made crooked, as shewn in Fig. 8, and of a suitable length, to admit of
the slot or fork in their inner ends straddling the collars of the studs, on which
the binding pullies 4, 11, 13, 16, run, so that the grooved end pullies, being
acted on and regulated in their reciprocating motion by the radius rods, 21, 21,
21, 21, will run fair with the band as it passes to and from the binding pullies
4, 11, 13, 16.
And now having fully and particularly described the modes by which I prefer
to carry into effect the principles of the said Invention, I wish to remark that
many parts of the machinery I have described may be varied in form, dimen-
sions, or arrangement, without departing from the principles of the said
Invention and I declare that I make no claim to any old parts or combinations
of parts, although for the better explaining of this Invention they may be
herein figured or described. But I claim,-
First, the supporting of the bobbins of a spinning frame, such as is herein-
before described, by the band or cord which is used for driving them, by what-
ever means that use of the band or cord is effected.
Secondly, the combination of the main shaft and its pullies, with the pullies
and other apparatus mounted on the lifters, viz, the end pullies and their
radius rods, and the inclined pullies which support the driving band.
Thirdly, the use in any spinning machines of pullies having a reciprocating
motion of their planes, by which they are adjusted to the varying relative

page_text: directions of the several portions of the bands which pass over them, when
such reciprocating motion is obtained by means of radius rods, studs, and
brackets, as herein-before described.
Fourthly, the method herein-before described of supplying oil to the spindles
of spinning frames.
Fifthly, the use of inclined pullies upon the lifters for supporting the band,
which supports and drives the bobbins of spinning frames, whether such
inclined pullies be used in combination with the other parts of this Invention
or with other contrivances for the same purposes.
Sixthly, the combination of the pullies upon the lifters, whether inclined or
not, with a band or cord, which supports and drives the bobbins.
Seventhly, I claim the combination of pullies, whether inclined or not on
spindle rails, with a band or cord supporting and driving bobbins used for the
twisting of silk.
