IMPROVE- MENTS IN THE METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR LUBRICATING SPINDLES UPON WHICH TUBES REVOLVE AT A HIGH VELOCITY
Year: 1884

page_text: I, GEORGE HODGSON of Laycocks Mill, Thornton Road, Bradford in the County of
York Machine maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR LUBRICATING SPINDLES UPON
WHICH TUBES REVOLVE AT A HIGH VELOCITY to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to form a washer at the bottom of the spindle of
say a Spinning Frame somewhat of the ordinary shape and configuration of those
in use having a recess underneath for the reception of felt to retain the oil but in
my improvement this washer is prepared to fit into a flat dish or cup to prevent
the oil slipping away on to the lifter rail on which the ordinary washer hitherto in
use sits. My improvement consists in the flat dish or cup bored for the spindle to
pass through and of such internal diameter as will allow of the washer fitting
easily into the same and with a recess of about half the depth of the ordinary
washer. This cup I make of wood, tin or other light composition.

I, GEORGE HODGSON, of Laycocks Mill, Thornton Road, Bradford, in the County
of York, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR LUBRICATING SPINDLES
UPON WHICH TUBES REVOLVE AT A HIGH VELOCITY," 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 this invention is to lubricate the spindles of spinning and twisting
frames, and consists in the combination of two washers or cups. The top washer
or cup is somewhat of the ordinary shape and configuration of those now in use,
having a recess underneath for the reception of felt to retain the oil, The bottom
washer or cup rests upon the lifter rail, the internal diameter being such as to allow
the top washer or cup fitting easily into the same, the recess being of about half
the depth of the ordinary washer.
The accompanying drawing represents an elevation of a portion of a spindle to
which my improved lubricating apparatus is applied. The tube and wharl A. are
of the ordinary construction with the wharl resting upon the boss of the upper cup
or washer B, the recess in the said cup being filled with felt or other flexible
absorbent material C. The cup or washer B fits easily in the flat bottomed cup D.
which rests on the ordinary lifter plate E, the oil is fed to the felt C through a
series of holes from the bottom of the dish F and is prevented running away on to
the lifter rail E, by the bottom cup D. By placing the absorbent material between
the two cups B and D. in the manner described, and the lifter rail moving the same
to and fro in a vertical direction on the spindles S, oil is transmitted to the spindles,
and the tubes T. rotating and moving along with the lifter rail lubricate the
spindles the full length of the said tubes and traverse of the latter.
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 combination of the two cups B and D with the felt C substantially in the
manner and for the purpose described.
