Improvements in Thread Guides of spinning and like machinery
and in the Mountings and in the Mounting thereof.
I, SAMUEL TWEEDALE of the Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the guides for the thread or ends mainly designed for use
on ring spinning frames, and comprises a thread guide, snarl catcher, and carrier
constructed of one wire-an improved section of wire for securing the latter in its
mounting or bracket, an improved mounting or bracket, and an improved mounting
of such bracket in relation to and in combination with the beam and front board.
According to this my said invention the curled end of the guide wire when in
position is at its highest point, the wire or stem carrying the curl being bent, or
curved to such angle in relation to the curl, that so long as the thread maintains its
proper position, or ordinary working line, it will pass clear of the stem, but when
from any cause the yarn balloons, snarls, or forms a slack end, its extended radius
causes contact of the yarn on and against the stem of the curl, and the yarn is broken
thereby, the curved stem which thus acts as snarl catcher is thence continued in or
about horizontally, and this the terminating end I form of A or other like angular
section.

So likewise the hole in the hinged mounting or bracket for carrying the said wire

1, SAMUEL TWEEDALE of the Globe Works, Accrington in the County of Lancaster
Manager 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 relates to the guides for the thread or ends mainly designed for use
on ring spinning framos, and comprises a thread guide, snarl catcher, and carrier con-
structed of one wire an improved section of wire for securing the latter in its
mounting or bracket, an improved mounting or bracket, and an improved mounting of
such bracket in relation to and in combination with the beam and front board.
According to this my said Invention the curled end of the guide wire when working
in position is at its highest point, the wire or stem carrying the curl being bent or
curved to such angle in relation to the curl, that so long as the thread maintains its
proper position, or ordinary working line it will pass clear of the stem, but when from
any cause the yarn balloons, snarls or forms a slack end its extended radius causes
contact of the yarn on and against the stem of the curl and the yarn is broken
thereby. The curved stem which thus acts as snarl catcher and anti-balooning wire
is thence continued in or about horizontally, and thus the terminating end I form of A
or other like angular section.
So likewise the hole in the hinged mounting or bracket for carrying the said wire
is or of corresponding angular section to that of the end of the thread guide wire
but larger, the angular section of the wire ensures the latter being by its set screw held
firmly, and twisting is prevented whilst the accuracy of fitting where circular hole
and round wire are used is not necessary.
The stop piece of the mounting or bracket is also made of ^ or angled section, a
corresponding recess being formed in the plate of the mounting, this ensures steadiness
laterally.
The mounting or bracket 1 attach to the underside of the beam the latter acts
as cover and prevents deposit of floss or dust on the mounting.
The stem and curl extend from the mounting through a hole formed in the face of
the front board or roller beam when an angle beam is used.
Such being the nature and object of my Invention the following is a complete
description of the same reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a
part of this specification in which :—
Fig. 1 is a side elevation shewing section of front board, or roller beam standard
rollers.
Fig. 2 is a like view of beam of different section with thread guide wire underneath
instead of through the beam as in Fig. 1.
Figs. 3 and 4 are plan and end views of the mounting bracket plate

page_text: Fig. 5 is a top plan view of part of bracket.
Figs. 6 and 7 are end and side views of the hinged part of the mounting or bracket
for securing and carrying the thread guide wire.
According to this my said invention the curled end 1 of the guide wire 2 when in
position is at its highest point, the wire or stem 2 carrying the curl 1, being bent or
curved to such angle in relation to the curl that so long as the thread 3 maintains its
proper position, or ordinary working line, it will pass clear of the stem, but when from
any cause the yarn at part 3 balloons, snarls, or forms a slack end, its extended radius
causes contact of the yarn on and against the stem of the curl and the yarn by such
contact is broken thereby. The curved stem 2 which thus acts as snarl catcher is con-
tinued in or about horizontally at 4 and this the terminating end I form of ^ or
other like angular section.
So likewise the hole 5 in the hinged mounting or bracket 6 for carrying the said
wire is Aor of corresponding angular section to that of the end 4 of the thread guide
wire 2 but larger, the angular section of the wire ensures the latter being by its set
screw 7 held firmly, and twisting is prevented, whilst the accuracy of fitting as in
case of circular hole and round wire are used is not necessary.
The stop piece 8 of the mounting or bracket 9 is also made of ^ or angled section,
a corresponding recess 10 being formed in the plate 11 of the mounting, this ensures
steadiness laterally 12. 12. 12 are facing bits.
The mounting or bracket plate 11 I attach to the underside of the "beam 13"
the latter acts as cover, and prevents deposit of floss or dust on the mounting.
The stem and curl extend from the mounting through a hole 14 formed in the face
of the front board or roller beam 15 when a short angle beam as at fig. 2 is used the
wire is hinged under front part of beam as shewn.
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 improved thread guide, anti-ballooning and snarl catcher wire comprising
the parts 1. 2. 4 in combination with its hinged bracket constructed substantially as
herein described and illustrated by annexed drawings.
2. A wire thread guide such as described and a hinged bracket 6 the plate 11
thereof being attached to covered by and in combination with the beam 15. as and for
purpose herein set forth.
3. Thread guiding and anti-ballooning wires the operating parts 1. 2 being on
section of round Wire the holding part being angular on section in combination
with an angular holding bracket such as illustrated by Figs. best seen at Fig. 6.
