HARRY TEE Engineer Gas Works Tipperary Ireland do hereby declare the nature
of this Invention to be as follows:-
--
The objects of this invention are to provide a simple & effectual stoppage to the
process of twisting or doubling any desired number of yarns or other threads, when
any of such, break or terminate. By means of spring clips or clutches attached to the
spindles of the machine, and pressing against the internal surface of the bobbin, the
latter is enabled to revolve firmly with the spindles, then by a fixed ring, outside
the arms of the spring clips, at the end of a lever, which is attached to a guided rod
upright, on which is a spring & communicating with top, or surface roller of the
machine, and further a small lever near the traverse rail of the machine, and wires
through which the threads in course of process must pass, and a small spring bolt, or
catch holding the upright rod, before mentioned, the desired stoppage is effected when
one or more of the wires, become out of contact with a thread or threads, and causes
a movement to the small lever which latter comes in contact with a pin in fluted roller
of the machine and is enabled to release the small spring bolt, or catch, thereby
releasing the upright rod, which is by its own spring actuated, so as to raise, the top
or surface roller out of contact with the fluted roller of the machine, and at same time,
the upright rod in its movement, causes the ring at end of lever, to remove the spring
clips from the internal surface of the bobbin, and to apply another spring clip or
clutch to the outside surface of the bobbin, to act as a break, & thus the complete
stoppage is effected.

HARRY TEE Engineer Gas Works Tipperary Co. Tipperary Ireland 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:
of
The objects of this invention are to provide a simple, and effectual stoppage to the
process of twisting or doubling any desired number of yarns or threads, when any of
such, break or terminate. By means as shown by the accompanying drawings of a
clutch K in connection with the spindle and bobbin of the machine, and pressing at
point Lagainst a stud or projection on the internal surface of the bobbin the latter is
enabled to revolve firmly with the spindle, then by a lever J, the end of which com-
municates with clutch K, fixed to an upright rod H on which is a spring C. and
communicating with the top or surface roller of the machine, and further a small lever
under the traverse rail of the machine, and wires A under which the threads in course
process must pass, and a spring bolt or catch B, holding the upright rod H, the
desired stoppage is effected, when one or more of the wires A. (there being as many
wires A, as threads in course of process) become out of contact with a thread or
threads, and drop down as in Fig. 2 upon the lever D, causing the said lever D. to
slightly raiso, small bar E, so as to come in contact with the pin F, which is placed in
a groove R. in the drawing roller of the machine, which, in course, of the revolution
of the drawing roller, raises the bar E, so as to withdraw the spring bolt or
catch B thereby releasing the upright rod H. which is by its own spring C,
actuated, so as to raise the top, or surface roller of the machine out of contact with
the drawing roller of the machine, and by the same movement of upright rod H,
the lever J. removes the clutch K. at point L. out of contact with the internal
surface of the bobbin, and this lever J. brings the stud or point N. in contact, with
stud or point M. on the outside surface of the bobbin, to act as a break on the
bobbin, thus a complete stoppage in the process of twisting. or doubling is
effected.
Drawing No. I. at Fig. 1 shows the apparatus whilst threads are intact. Fig. 2.
when a thread has broken or terminated & stoppage effected. Fig. 3, the position of
the spring bolt or catch B.
Drawing No. II, shows enlarged views of the spring bolt or catch B. and of clutch K.
with their mode of action.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim as the principle features of novelty are.
1st. The application of the pin F to the drawing roller of the machine, the lever &
bar D, & E, the upright rod H. with its spring C. the spring bolt or catch B. holding
the said rod H-&
2nd. The general application of same as aforesaid, in connection with each &
every spindle of the machine.
