We PETER EADIE of 12 High Street Paisley in the county of Renfrew, ROBERT
EADIE of 9 Victoria Buildings Victoria Street Manchester in the county of
Lancaster and JOHN EADIE of 12 High Street Paisley aforesaid Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
5 OF THE TRAVELLERS USED IN MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING COTTON
WOOL SILK AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS, to be as follows:-
.
Our invention relates to the travellers used in machinery for spinning and
doubling cotton, wool, silk and other fibrous materials and consists in improve-
ments which render such travellers more efficient in action than they have hitherto
been. In carrying one modification of our invention into effect we form or provide
each of such travellers with a straight portion or portions situate above the level
of the ring upon which the traveller travels around which straight portion or
portions the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled is passed-In a further modifi-
cation of our invention we propose to form or provide each of the travellers
aforesaid with a slightly curved portion or portions around which slightly curved
portion or portions the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled is passed, the said
slightly curved portion or portions being situate above the level of the ring upon
which the traveller travels and being in place of and accomplishing the same
purpose as the straight portion or portions above referred to-In place of the
straight or slightly curved portion or portions above referred to we propose in
another arrangement of our invention to form or provide each of the travellers
aforesaid with a number of curved portions situate above the level of the ring
upon which the traveller travels around which curved portions the sliver or yarn
to be spun or doubled is passed.
By the employment of a traveller constructed as above described we are enabled
to pass the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled two or more times around such
traveller without such sliver or yarn becoming unduly chafed or injured thereby
and are thus enabled to produce a better yarn or thread and to form a harder and
firmer cop than has hitherto been possible.

We PETER EADIE of 12 High Street Paisley in the County of Renfrew ROBERT
EADIE of 9 Victoria Buildings Victoria Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster and JOHN EADIE of 12 High Street Paisley aforesaid Manufacturers do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THE TRAVELLERS USED IN MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING COTTON
WOOL SILK AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Our invention relates to the travellers used in machinery for spinning and
doubling cotton wool silk and other fibrous materials and consists in arrangements
which render such travellers more efficient in action than they have hitherto been.
In order that our invention may be thoroughly understood and readily carried
into effect we will now proceed to describe the same by reference to the accom-
panying drawing in which drawing Figs. 1. and 2, show one modification of our
invention Fig. 1 being a front view and Fig. 2 a side view of a traveller
constructed according to this modification of our invention a. is a ring of the
construction ordinarily employed in machinery for spinning and doubling cotton
wool silk and other fibrous materials upon which ring a. is mounted the traveller b.
The straight sides c c¹ of the traveller bare connected by a curved portion d and the
said straight sides c c' are also provided with curved ends e e' respectively which
curved ends e e¹ embrace the flange a' of the ring a. The sliver or yarn f to be
spun or doubled is passed around the straight portion c. of the traveller band
passes from the traveller b. at the point A to the cop spool tube or bobbin f' upon
which it is to be wound when spun or doubled-The sliver or yarn to be spun or
doubled may
be passed around the straight portion c. of the traveller b. two or more
times as may be required to impart the required amount of tension to the sliver
or yarn to be spun or doubled.
Another modification of our invention is shown by Figs. 3. and 4 Fig. 3 being a
front view and Fig. 4. a side view of a traveller constructed according to this
modification of our invention-g. is a ring of the construction ordinarily employed
in machinery for spinning and doubling cotton wool silk and other fibrous materials
upon which ring 9. is mounted the traveller h. The sides j j' of the traveller h
are connected by a curved portion & and the lower ends of the sides jj' of such
traveller are provided with curved portions respectively which curved
portions embrace the flange g₁ of the ring g. The sides j j¹ of the traveller h
are formed curved-The sliver or yarn m. to be spun or doubled is passed around
the side of the traveller has often as may be required to impart the required
amount of tension to the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled and from the point B
of the traveller h the yarn m. passes to the cop bobbin tube or spool m³ upon
which it is to be wound.

page_text: Another modification of our invention is shown by Figs. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 being a
front view and Fig. 6 a side view of a traveller constructed according to this modifi-
cation of our invention. n. is a ring of the construction ordinarily employed in
machinery for spinning and doubling cotton wool silk and other fibrous materials upon
wbich ring n. is mounted the traveller o.-The traveller o is formed with straight
portions p p having at their upper ends curved or bent parts q q' connected by
the curved part S-The lower ends of the parts p p' are provided with curved or
bent parts respectively which curved or bent parts t t embrace the flange n¹
of the ring n. The sliver or yarn u. to be spun or doubled is passed around the
side q of the traveller o. as shown as often as may be requisite to impart the
required amount of tension to the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled and from
the point C of the traveller o. the yarn or thread when spun or doubled passes to
the cop bobbin tube or spool u' upon which it is to be wound.
Figs. 7 and 8 shew another modification of our invention. Fig. 7 being a front
view of a traveller constructed according to this modification of our invention and
Fig. 8 a side view of such traveller-In this instance the traveller w is provided
with a straight or nearly straight portion a from one end of which straight or
nearly straight portion extends a curved portion y-From the end of the
straight or nearly straight portion a extends a curved portion z from which curved
portion extends a straight or nearly straight part I from the end 1ª of which
straight or nearly straight part 1 extends a curved part 2-The curved portions y 2
of the traveller w embrace the flange 3 of the ring 4 such flange 3 being parallel
or nearly parallel to the axis of the spindle 5 used in conjunction with the
traveller w. The sliver or yarn 5 to be spun or doubled is passed around the
straight or nearly straight portion of the traveller was often as may be requisite
to impart the required amount of tension to such sliver or yarn and from the
point of the traveller w the yarn or thread when spun or doubled passes to the
cop bobbin tube or spool 5ª on which it is to be wound.
By the employment of travellers constructed as or in a manner similar to that
above described we are enabled to pass the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled
around the traveller two or more times or as often as may be requisite without
such sliver or yarn becoming unduly chafed or injured and we are thus enabled to
produce a better yarn or thread and to form a harder and firmer cop bobbin or
spool than has hitherto been possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
.
1. In each of the travellers for use in machinery for spinning and doubling
cotton wool silk and other fibrous materials the provision of a straight portion c
or straight portion c c¹ around which the sliver or yarn to be spun or doubled may
be passed two or more times such straight portion c or straight portions c c¹ being
formed and disposed in the traveller substantially as herein before described and
shown in reference to and in and by Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing hereunto
annexed.
2. In each of the travellers for use in machinery for spinning and doubling
cotton wool silk and other fibrous materials the provision of a curved portion j or
