We, CHARLES HAHLO and CHARLES EDWARD LIEBREICH, of Mill Street, and
ALFARD DOWNBROUGH, of Annison Street, all in the City of Bradford, Machinists,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in machines for winding yarn,
and has for its object the construction of the machine in such a manner, that it may
be utilized for winding yarn from the hank or bobbin, also to so arrange the parts,
that the respective spindles may be stopped when the thread of yarn in connection
therewith is broken or exhausted, or when the cop of yarn is built to the required
ength, the spindle is automatically stopped by mechanism arranged and operated
in a simple and effective manner.
In carrying out our object we mount the spindles vertically as hitherto, so as to
slide through the driving gear consisting by preference of bevel wheels, the portion
of each spindle passing through the driven wheel being square, but so arranged
that, the wheel may revolve without rotating the spindie, except when a sliding
clutch mounted on the spindle and having a square or like hole through same is in
gear with a similar clutch on the driven wheel.
Engaging with the sliding clutch is a lever fulcrumed to a bracket, such lever
being prepared with a projection which when the two portions of the clutch are
in gear engages with, and is supported by another lever, which for distinction, we
call a tippling lever.
The yarn is conducted from the hank or bobbin in a direction so as to come in
contact with a guide bar or the like, then over a pulley mounted on an arm suppor-
ted by a stud, the tension of the yarn thread keeping the pulley end of the arm
elevated, in such a position that, the opposite end of the arm is clear of the tippling
lever; but should the yarn allow the pulley end of arm to descend, then the tippling.
lever is operated in the direction that the support to the lever connected with the
sliding clutch is removed, thereby allowing the said lever to operate the sliding
clutch clear of the driven wheel, thus stopping the spindle.
In order to stop the spindle when the cop of yarn is built to the required length,
we mount another lever so that one end terminates near the tippling lever, the other
extends downwards, terminates near the spindle, on which is secured a collar in a
position corresponding to the length of cop required. As the cop is built upon
the spindle the latter is raised, and when the collar comes in contact with the lower
end of the last mentioned lever, the same is operated and the tippling lever moved,
so that the support given to the projection on the sliding clutch lever is removed,
thereby automatically withdrawing the sliding clutch out of gear, thus stopping
the rotation of the spindle whenever the support to the tippling lever is removed,
and this is effected either by the operation of the last named lever or by the lower-
ing of the arm on the removal of the tension of the yarn.

page_text: We, CHARLES HAILO and CHARLES EDWARD LIEBREICH, of Mill Street, and
ALFARD DOWNBROUGH, of Annison Street, all in the City of Bradford, Machinists,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in machines for winding yarn,
and has for its object the construction of the machine in such a manner that it may
be-utilized for winding yarn from the hank or bobbin, also to so arrange the parts.
that the respective spindles may be stopped when the thread of yarn in connection
therewith is broken or exhausted, or when the cop of yarn is built to the-required
length, the spindle is automatically stopped by mechanism arranged and operated
in a simple and effective manner.
In describing the invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents a front elevation of a portion of a
winding machine arranged in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same.
Fig. 3 a detached detail drawn to a larger scale showing the clutch in gear for
driving the spindle and the mechanism in connection with each spindle for auto-
matically stopping the same, when the yarn is broken or the supply exhausted.
Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the clutch disengaged, and
Fig. 5 is a plan of the lever which engages with the sliding portion of the clutch.
In carrying out the invention, we mount the spindles A, vertically and support
the same by journals as hitherto, and operate the said spindles by rotating skew
toothed bevel wheels B, and C, driven in any convenient manner, the upper portion
of each spindle is circular and passes through a coned bush D, of the ordinary con-
struction in the usual manuer, and in, explaining our invention we will describe
the apparatus in connection with one spindle, as all are arranged in the same
manner.
Each spindle A, passes through a hole in centre of the boss of the respective
bevel wheels C, the said hole being sufficiently large to allow the bevel wheel to
rotate without rotating the spindle which is square for some portion of its length,
say from Z, to the bottom end of spindle.
gear
Above each bevel wheel C, is mounted upon the spindle A, the sliding portion E,
of a clutch having a square hole through same, fitting the square portion of
spindle A, so that when the sliding portion E, of the clutch is brought into
with the other part of the clutch F', formed on the back of the bevel wheel C, the
spindle A, is rotated so long as the lever G, is retained in the position as shown by
Fig. 4.
Engaging with the sliding portion E, of the clutch is a lever G, fulcrumed on
bracket H, such lever having a projection J, which when the two portions E, and F, 4
of the clutch are in gear, is supported by another lever K, which we call a tippling
lever.
The yarn supply may be obtained from ordinary creels supported by standards L
or from bobbins M, mounted in the ordinary manner, and is conducted so as to
come in contact with a guide bar or the like, then over a pulley N, mounted on an 4
arm O, supported by a stud at P, or direct to the said pulley as shown, and through
the ordinary traversing guide T, the tension of the yarn thread Y, in either case
keeping the pulley N, and arm 0, elevated as shown by Figs. 2 and 3, in the
position that, the opposite or fulcrum end of the said arm is clear of the tippling

page_text: lever K, but should the yarn Y, be broken or exhausted, and allow the pulley N,
and arm 0, to descend to the position shown by Fig. 4, then the tippling lever,
is operated, by the fulcrum end of the arm 0, coming in contact with a side projec-
tion W, on the said tippling lever, by which the said lever is caused to move in
the direction so that the support to the lever G, is removed as shown by Fig. 3,
thereby allowing the long outward arm of the said lever to descend and thus raise
the sliding portion E, of the clutch clear of the portion F, on back of bevei
wheel C, and thereby stop the spindle A.
In order to stop a spindle A, when the cop S, of yarn is built to the required
length around the said spindle in the ordinary coned bush D, another lever Q, is
mounted on a fulcrum pin secured to the bracket H, one arm of the lever Q, ter-
minating under the side projection W, of the tippling lever K, the other arm
extending downwards, terminates near the spindle A, on which is a sliding collar R,
secured on the spindle in a position corresponding to the length of the cop S,
required.
As the cop $, is built upon the spindle A, in the ordinary coned bush D, the
said spindle is raised as in ordinary machines, and when the collar R, comes in
contact with the lower arm of the lever Q, the arm is forced away from the spindie,
thus raising the other arm of the lever into contact with the side projection W, of
the tippling lever K, and operate the said lever in the direction that the support
to the lever G, is removed, thus allowing the long end of the lever to descend by
gravity and the sliding portion E, of the clutch to be raised clear of the portion F,
thereby stopping the rotation of the spindle A, whenever the support of tippling
lever K, is removed from the lever G, either by the operation of the lever Q, or by
the arm O, in the manner as herein before described.
The cop S, of yarn is removed from the spindle A, by pressing the end U, of
foot lever downwards, the lever being arranged with a slot hole through which the
spindle A, passes, and on the lever coming into contact with the collar R, presses
the spindle A, downwards, thus withdrawing it from the cop S, supported in the
coned bush D, when another cop may be formed and the operation repeated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;-
1. In a winding machine the combination of the rotating portion F, and the
sliding portion E, of a clutch with a lever G, tippling lever K, and arm (), arranged
and operated substantially in the manner as hereinbefore described and for the
purpose as set forth.
2. In a winding machine the combination of a spindle A, collar R, levers Q, K,
and G, with the sliding portion E, of clutch, all arranged and operated substantially
in the manner as hereinbefore described and for the purpose set forth.
