IMPROVEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPINDLE BEARINGS OF MACHINES EMPLOYED FOR PREPARING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES
Year: 1884

page_text: I JAMES MARGINSON of 5 Fishwick Parade Preston in the County of Lancaster
Cardmaster do hereby declare the nature of said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPINDLE BEARINGS OF MACHINES EMPLOYED FOR
PREPARING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES" to be as follows:-
This Invention of improvements in connection with the spindle bearings of
machines employed for preparing cotton and other fibrous substances relates to
means for preventing the oil or lubricant employed for lubricating the spindle
bearings from coming in contact with the interior of the bobbins. To this end
I employ a loose bush whose upper end forms a sleeve which surrounds and fits
easily upon the spindle the lower end of the bush being in the form of an annular
flange upon which the lower end of the bobbin rests. The annular flange rests
upon the top of the ordinary bobbin or "washer" wheel and is provided on its
lower side with suitable pins or projections for the purpose of being driven or
rotated by the bobbin or washer wheel whilst the upper side of the flange is pro-
vided with pins or projections for driving or rotating the bobbin. As applied to
ordinary short collars or bearings the upper part or sleeve of the bush is carried
upwards somewhat within the bobbin thereby preventing contact between the
bobbin and the spindle; the upper end of the bobbin however is allowed to rest
upon or grasp the spindle in the ordinary manner that portion of the spindle near
the top of the bobbin when short collars are employed being usually free from
lubricant. As applied to Mason's or other elongated collars or bearings the upper
part or sleeve of the bush is carried upwards above the top of the bolster where it
is contracted in diameter so as to surround and fit the spindle easily being then
continued sufficiently higher to receive upon its periphery the upper end of the
bobbin which is thereby prevented from coming in contact with the spindle.

page_text: I, JAMES MARGINSON, of 5 Fishwick Parade, Preston, in the County of Lancaster,
Cardmaster, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPINDLE BEARINGS OF MACHINGS EMPLOYED FOR
PREPARING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES " and in what manner tho
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This Invention of improvements in connection with the spindle bearings of
machines employed for preparing cotton and other fibrous substances relates to
means for preventing the oil or lubricant employed for lubricating the spindle
bearings from coming in contact with the interior of the bobbins.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the nature of my invention. Figs. 1 and 2
are respectively an elevation and sectional view of the spindle apparatus of a
preparation or roving frame shewing the application of my invention to ordinary
short collars or bearings.
I employ a loose bush whose upper end forms a sleeve b which surrounds and
fits easily upon the spindle c the lower end of the bush being in the form of an
annular flange d upon which the lower end of the bobbin o rests. The annular
flange drests upon the top of the ordinary bobbin or "washer" wheel ƒ and is
provided on its lower side with suitable pins or projections for the purpose of being
driven or rotated by-the-bobbin or washer wheel f, but preferably by means of the
notches h h in the projecting ring i (see Fig. 4), whilst the upper-side_of_the_
flange d is provided with pins or projections jj (see Fig. 3) for driving or rotating
the bobbin e. As applied to ordinary short collars or bearings & the upper part or
sleeve b of the bush is carried upwards somewhat within the bobbin & thereby
preventing contact between the bobbin e and the spindle c; the upper end of the
bobbin, however, is allowed to rest upon or grasp the spindle in the ordinary
manner; that portion of the spindle near the top of the bobbin (when short collars
are employed) being usually free from lubricant.
Figs. 5 and 6 are respectively an elevation and sectional view of similar spindle
apparatus shewing the application of my invention to Mason's or other elongated
collars or bearings; the upper part or sleeve b of the bush a being carried upwards
above the top of the bolster where it is contracted in diameter (thus forming the
sleeve b) so as to surround and fit the spindle c easily, being then continued
sufficiently higher to receive upon its periphery the upper end of the bobbin e
which is thereby prevented from coming in contact with the spindle c.
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 use or employment of a bush or sleeve interposed between the spindle and
the bobbin constructed and arranged substantially as described and shewn in the
drawings for the purpose set forth.
Dated this sth day of January 1980.
