Improvements in Thread Separators for Spinning and like Machines.
A communication from abroad by CHARLES HÉLOT, of 19, Rue Cambon, Paris,
France, Gentleman.
I, JOHN CORRY FELL, of the Firm of Fell and James, Chartered Patent Agents,
of 1, Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to thread separators for spinning and like machines,
and is suitable for all textile materials, cotton wool and the like, and consists
of a thread separator in the form of a ring or a metallic wire and of a suitable
thickness.
The said ring has the same diameter as that of the hole or ring in the slider
plate, and is placed about five centimetres from and parallel to the latter the
centres of the two ring guides being situated in the same vertical axis.
My ring guide or separator is open in its circumference by the sharpened
point of the wire lying upon the inner periphery of the overlapping body of the
ring arranged so that the thread can enter the ring, by the said sloping passage
but cannot escape during the travel of the supporting slider.
The wire of the ring after passing the said sloping entrance may be then bent
at right angles to the plane of the ring to form an attachment to the slider
plate carrying the thread hole or guide, or the wire of the ring may be bent at
right angles to the ring but in the plane of the ring and screw, threaded so as
to screw into a right angled bracket from the slider plate, or into any other
attachment to the said slider plate, so that the said ring participates exactly in
the reciprocating movements of the slider plate and the thread guide ring or
hole therein.
This ring separator acts without any need for regulation and its action
becomes more and more feeble as the lift advances.
Dated this 14th day of November 1898.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
This invention relates to thread separators for spinning and like machines,
and is suitable for all textile materials, cotton wool and the like, and consists
of a thread separator in the form of a ring of a metallic wire and of a suitable
thickness.
The said ring has the same diameter as that of the hole or ring in the slider
plate, and is placed about five centimetres from and parallel to the latter the
centres of the two ring guides being situated in the same vertical axis.
My ring guide or separator is open in its circumference by the sharpened
point of the wire lying upon the inner periphery of the overlapping body of the
ring arranged so that the thread can enter the ring by the said sloping passage
but cannot escape during the travel of the supporting slider.
The wire of the ring after passing the said sloping entrance may be then bent
at right angles to the plane of the ring to form an attachment to the slider
plate containing the hole, or the wire of the ring separator may be bent at right
angles to the ring but in the plane of the ring and be screw-threaded so as to
screw into a right angled bracket from the slider plate, or into any other attach-
ment to the said slider plate, so that the said ring participates exactly in the
reciprocating movements of the slider plate and the ring or hole therein.
This ring separator acts without any need for regulation and its action
becomes more and more feeble as the lift advances.
In order that this invention may be the better understood I will now describe
it in relation to the accompanying drawings.
Figures 1, 1 are side and perspective views respectively of my invention
with a vertical stem.
Figure 2 is a side view of the device mounted on a horizontal stem.
The construction of the device is clearly seen from the drawing, the pointed
end of the ring being designated by the letter A.
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:
1st. A ring guide or separator for spinning and like machines consisting of
a metallic ring of the same diameter as the hole or ring of the slider plate,
adapted to be supported a small distance from and parallel to and on an axis
coincident with the latter, substantially as described.
2nd. In a ring guide or separator as claimed in Claim 1, the arrangement of
an opening in the said ring closed by the pointed end of the wire abutting
against the circumference of the ring so arranged that the thread can enter but
cannot get out of the ring, substantially as described.
