PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Lubricating the
Rollers of Drawing, Slubbing, Finishing, Spinning, and Inter-
mediate Frames.
I ARTHUR DONALD OATES of Ryburne Mills, Halifax in the County of York,
Worsted Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to obtain more perfect lubrication to the necks
of the front top rollers of drawing, slubbing, and intermediate frames, also to
economize the lubricant.
I employ tin or other metal oil cups beneath each neck of the rollers, in each
cup is placed a cloth wad, doubled or so arranged and soaked with lubricant, as
to be continually in contact with the necks, and so always lubricating the same;
the cups are attached preferably to the pressure necks by screws or other means
so as to be readily raised and lowered, or detached and replaced.
Dated this Twenty-fourth day of January 1896.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Lubricating the
Rollers of Drawing, Slubbing, Finishing, Spinning, and Inter-
mediate Frames.
I ARTHUR DONALD OATES of Ryburn Mills Halifax in the County of York
Spinner 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 :-
The object of my invention is to obtain more perfect lubrication to the necks of
the front top rollers of drawing, slubbing, and intermediate frames, also preventing
all dirt and waste from getting on to the brasses necks or couplings and to economize
the lubricant.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved method of and apparatus for
lubricating the necks of front top rollers in drawing, slubbing fiuishing, spinning
and intermediate frames.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of oil cup and method of securing same to
pressure neck.
Fig. 4 is a plan of Fig. 3.
Figs. 5 and 6 show sectional modifications of oil cup or lubricator and methods
of securing same to pressure necks.
Fig. 7 is a front elevation of Fig. 6.

page_text: Fig. 8 shows another method of securing the lubricating cup in position.
Fig. 9 is a side view of apparatus for lubricating the bottom rollers.
Fig. 10 shows a modification of Fig. 9.
I employ tin or other metal oil cups A, beneath each neck B of the roller
arbours; in each cup is placed a cloth wad C, doubled or so arranged and soaked
with lubricant, as to be continually in contact with the necks B, and so always
lubricating the same; the cups A are attached preferably to the pressure necks D,
by screws E, spring caps F, pin or cotter F, or other suitable means, so us to be
readily raised and lowered, or detached and replaced.
Holes G are provided in the lubricator cup, for replenishing the lubricant in the
same when required.
For lubricating the bottom rollers or couplings, I preferably employ a suitable
bracket or hanger H, secured by thumbscrew or other means to the bracket
supporting the top roller arbour, upon one end of bracket or hanger is a suitable
convex plate J, having suitable spikes or projections to which is attached a
lubricating wad K, bearing upon the bottom roller or coupling L.
By this means a perfect and permanent lubrication of the necks is obtained,
requiring less attention, and is consequently a great saving in time labour and
lubricant.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The use and employment of a lubricator cup A, containing lubricating wad C,
in contact with the necks of roller arbours, of drawing, slubbing, finishing, spinning,
and intermediate frames, as and for the purposes substantially as shown and
described.
2. The use and employment of a lubricator cup A, and lubricator wad C, such
cup A being preferably attached to the pressure necks of roller arbours of drawing,
slubbing, finishing, spinning and intermediate frames, in the manner aud for the
purposes substantially as shown and described.
