PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Spindles of: Cap Spinning
and Twisting Frames.
I, BENJAMIN SMITH of the Firm of James Moss Howson & Co. Limited,
Albert Mills, Halifax Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved method of and means employed for reducing
the friction between the wharle and tube, and the spindle, and cap of the ordinary
oil cup, so that the wharle and tube can be driven with greater ease and rapidity
and with less vibration of the several parts than heretofore.
According to this invention 1 place on the top of the cap of the ordinary oil cup
a ring of hard metal, and above this ring I place a small washer of hard metal,
and on this washer the bottom of the wharle and tube rests. The hard metal
washer is for the purpose of preventing the hard ring from wearing a groove in the
bottom of the wharle, the latter and the washer revolving together on the ring,
and by the interposition of the ring and washer the wharle and tube can be driven
with a very slight amount of friction, and little or no vibration.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Spindles of Cap Spinning
and Twisting Frames.
I BENJAMIN SMITH of the Firm of James Moss Howson & Co. Limited,
Albert Mills, Halifax in the County of York, Manager, 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 :-
This invention relates to improved method of, and means employed for reducing
the friction between the wharle and tube, and the spindle, and cap of the ordinary
oil cup in cap, and ring spinning and twisting frames, so that the wharle, and tube
can be driven with greater ease, and rapidity, and with less vibration of the several
parts than heretofore.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being made to the accompanying drawing forming a
part of this Specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a spindle, tube, wharle, and
appliances connected therewith in accordance with this invention.
According to this invention I place on the top of the cap, or cover 1 of the
ordinary oil cup 2, in the lifter rail 2 and in which cup 2 is the felt washer 3, a
ring 4 of hard metal or other material and above this ring 4 I place a small
washer 5 of hard metal, glass, or other hard material, and on this washer 5 the
bottom of the wharle 6 and tube 7 rests. The washer 5, of hard material is for
the purpose of preventing the hard ring 4 from wearing a groove in the bottom of
the wharle 6, the latter and the washer 5 revolving together on the ring 4 and
by the interposition of the ring 4 and washer 5 the wharle and tube can be driven
with a very slight amount of friction, and little, or no vibration.

page_text: It will be obvious that two rings such as 4 may be employed, but we have
obtained good practical results from the use of the ring, and washer as herein
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of the
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :—
The use and employment of the washer, and ring, or rings when combined with
the spindle, wharle, and tube of cap, and ring spinning and twisting frames as
and for the purpose herein described, and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
