Friction Motions"
1 PETER BRIMELOW, of 54 Shepard Street, Bury, in the County of Lancaster,
Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR
CONNECTED WITH THE FRICTION MOTIONS OF YARN SIZING MACHINES," to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention consists of improved appliances for automatically applying the
pressure upon, and consequent action of the "friction plates" employed in connection
with the sized yarn beam of sizing machines.
According to this my invention I employ two straight or curved arms or levers
each working on a fulcrum pin on the lower end of each lever or arm are a pair of
runners which nip and press the friction plates towards each other from opposite
directions the other ends of the said levers or arms are forced apart by friction pulley,
lever, and weight, or connected by two links which forming a joint are secured
together by a through pin which works in a slot in a weighted lever. The through
pin has a short stem or arm secured to it on which is fastened at right angles another
pin working in a slot secured to the frame of the machine the slot is for the purpose
of causing the through pin when acted upon by the weighted lever to rise or fall
vertically thus applying the nip equally on both sides of the plates. Or to the said
weighting lever I apply a pair of curved wings or vanes, which act upon the nip levers
with equal pressure.
The means however of applying pressure to the nip levers it is obvious may be
varied.

Improvements in or Connected with the "Friction Motions"
of Yarn Sizing Machines.
1, PETER BRIMELOW of 54 Shepard Street, Bury, 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 :-
This invention consists of improved appliances for automatically applying the
pressure, upon and consequent action of the "friction plates" employed in connection
with the sized yarn beam of sizing machines.
According to this any invention I employ two straight or curved arms or levers
each working on a fulcrum pin on the lower end of each lever or arm are a pair of
runners which nip and press the friction plate towards each other from opposite
directions the other ends the said levers or arms are forced apart by friction pulley,
lever, and weight, or connected by two links which forming a joint are secured
together by a through pin which works in a slot. The through pin has a short stem
or arm secured to it on which is fastened at right angles another pin working in a slot
on the frame of the machine, the slot is for the purpose of causing the through pin
when acted upon by the weighted lever to rise or fall vertically thus applying the nip
equally on both sides of the plates. Or to the said weighting lever I apply a pair of
curved wings or vanes which act upon the nip levers with equal pressure.
The means however of applying pressure to the nip levers it is obvions may be
varied.
Such being the nature and object of this my invention, the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a side or end view of Fig. 1.
Figs. 3&4, are modifications of same.
According to this my invention I employ two straight or curved arms or levers 1. 2.
each working on a fulcrum pin 3 on the lower end of each lever or arm 1. 2. are a
pair of runners 4. 5 which are milled and which nip and press the friction plates 6. 7.
towards each other from opposite directions the other ends of the said levers or
arms 1. 2 are forced apart by friction pulley 8, lever 9, and weight 10, or connected
by two links 11-12 which forming a joint are secured together by a through pin 13
which works in a slot 14. The through pin 13 has a short stem or arm 15 secured to
it on which is fastened at right angles another pin 16 working in the slot 14. The
slot 14 is for the purpose of causing the through pin 13 when acted upon by the
weighted lever 9 to to rise or fall vertically thus applying the nip equally on both
sides of the plates 6. 7. Or to the said weighting lever 9 I apply a pair of curved
wings or vanes 8 which act upon the nip levers 1. 2 with equal pressure.
The means however of applying pressure to the nip levers it is obvious may be
varied.

page_text: The friction is applied by means of the weighted lever 9 on which is the anti-
friction bowl or vanes 8, and regulating weight 10, by means of the weight 10 being
moved up or down, the said lever 9 causes the pulley or vanes 8 to press more or less
between the fork formed by the two arms or levers 1-2. which turning on their
fulcrum pins 3 press the milled runners 4. 5 against the friction plates 6. 7 thereby
applying the friction equally from opposite directions.
The runners 4. 5 I preferably have milled and also the portion of the friction
plates 6.7 which comes in contact with the runners thus ensuring the latter
revolving.
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 :-
1. The nipping levers 1. 2. and runners 4. 5. combined with and applying pressure
from opposite directions upon the plates 6. 7 the degree of pressure being determined
regulated or varied by pulley or vanes 8 lever and weight such as illustrated by
annexed drawings.
2. The nipping-levers 1. 2 links 11. 12 stud 16 and stem or arm 15 and runners 4.5
combined with and applying pressure from opposite directions upon the plates 6. 7 the
degree of pressure being determined regulated, or varied by lever and weight 10.
