Improvements in Ring Spinning Machines.
I SAMUEL LORD of 47 Well-ith-Lane Rochdale in the County of Lancaster
Foreman Mechanic do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as:
follows:-
This invention relates to the form of spindle steadier and its adjustable
attachment with the top of the spindle the spindle being lengthened-out so that
the top of the spindle will appear above the spindle steadier. Whereby
assistance is given to the traveller steadiness to the spindle and prevention
of ballooning. Wherein the thread passes from the front roller to the centre
of the top of the spindle thence entering a spiral groove cut in the spindle
continuing in 'this spiral groove and at the same time the thread the spiral groove.
in which the thread lies and the spindle will be revolving together. This spiral.
groove will therefore drive conduct or carry the thread round, thus giving
assistance to the traveller. The form of the spindle steadier being such that it
encircles the top of the spindle and if made of a portion of a hollow regular or
irregular conical tube which prevents ballooning and at the same time the spindle-
steadier encircling the top of the spindle will counteract the vibration of the
spindle thus keeping it steady. To enable the operative to thread the spindle a
slot or slit cut in the front part of the spindle steadier in such a manner that on
the thread passing through this slot or slit it falls instantly into the spiral groove.
and is carried conducted and driven round as aforementioned.
Dated this 8th day of August 1893.

I SAMUEL LORD of 47 Well-ith-Lane Rochdale in the County of Lancaster
Foreman Mechanic do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the form of spindle steadier and its adjustable attachment
with the top of the spindle the spindle being lengthened out so that the top of the
spindle will appear above the spindle steadier. Whereby assistance is given to
the traveller steadiness to the spindle and prevention of ballooning. Wherein the
thread passes from the front roller to the centre of the top of the spindle thence
entering a spiral groove cut in the spindle continuing in this spiral groove and at
the same time the thread the spiral groove in which the thread lies and the spindle.
will be revolving together. This spiral groove will therefore drive conduct or
carry the thread round thus giving assistance to the traveller. The form of the
spindle steadier being such that it encircles the top of the spindle and if made of
a portion of a hollow regular or irregular conical tube which prevents ballooning
and at the same time the spindle steadier encircling the top of the spindle will
counteract the vibration of the spindle thus keeping it steady.
To enable the operative to thread the spindle a slot or slit is cut in the front
part of the spindle steadier in such a manner that on the thread passing through

page_text: this slot or slit it falls instantly into the spiral groove and is carried conducted
and driven round as aforementioned.
To these ends the invention consists as by reference to the accompanying
drawings in which A Fig. 1 and 2 is the bobbin head, B Fig. 1 and 2 is a portion
of yarn on the bobbin, C Fig. 1 & 2 the bare spindle lengthened to appear and
stand out above the bobbin, D Fig. 1, 2, and 3 is the spindle steadier encircling
the upper part of spindle C. E Fig. 1 and 2 is a spiral groove cut in the bare
spindle starting at G the top of the spindle and from thence passing downwards
and finishing at a point half way round the spindle in the direction round as the
spindle is to rotate when working. F Fig. 1 and 2 is shewing the direction of the
yarn as it is delivered from the front roller to the top of the spindle and
owards.
The
H Fig. 2 and 3 is the roller beam and K Fig. 2 and 3 is the thread board.
L Fig. 2 and 3 is the spindle steadier attachment hinged to the thread board at M,
and Ŏ Fig. 2 and 3 is the back end of spindle steadier screwed to receive the two
nuts O¹ and O and to pass through the spindle steadier attachment at S.
arrow Pshewing direction of rotation of spindle when working. The slot or
elit R Fig. 1 and 3 in the front part of the spindle steadier is for the purpose of
threading the spindle.
The spindle steadier Fig. 4 5 and 6 D¹ made in a form to prevent ballooning.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A spiral or other kind of groove cut into an upper lengthened part of the
spindle from the top downwards.
A spindle steadier encircling the top of the spindle.
A spindle steadier which steadies the spindle and prevents ballooning.
Dated this 24th day of January 1894.
