PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Slubbing and Roving Frames.
I, WILLIAM FISHER, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improved construction, arrangement and combination
of parts for effecting the raising and lowering of the bottom cone, whereby the
vertical shaft and handle or hand lever for operating the said shaft, are not as
hitherto in front of the machine and in and amongst the pendant ends or rovings.
According to this invention a horizontal shaft is applied extending from front
to back of the frame and near the floor level and may be operated by either hand
or foot, such arrangement is most convenient of access and is entirely out of the
way of the ends or rovings.
Having the horizontal shaft convenient of position and application I employ
at its other end a worm a screw, a cam in rim of which is cut a groove or a disc
placed obliquely and fast on the shaft and any of these contrivances engage with
corresponding parts connected with or forming part of a limb or finger extending
from the crank or arm which carries the step for the bottom cone drum, there
being a stop piece for determining the amount of motion and the parts.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Slubbing and Roving Frames.
I, WILLIAM FISHER of Globe Works, Accrington in the County of Lancaster
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 consists of improved construction arrangement and combination
of parts for effecting the raising and lowering of the bottom cone whereby the
vertical shaft and handle or hand lever for operating the said shaft are not as
hitherto in front of the machine and in and amongst the pendant ends or rovings.
According to this invention a horizontal shaft is applied extending from front
to back of the frame and near the floor level and may be operated by either hand
or foot as such arrangement is most convenient of access and is entirely out of the
way of the ends or rovings.
Having the horizontal shaft convenient of position and application I employ at
its other end a worm, screw, a cam, in rim of which is cut a groove, or a disc,
placed obliquely and fast on the shaft and any of these contrivances engage with
corresponding parts connected with or forming part of a limb or finger extending
from the crank or Larm which carries the step for the bottom cone drum there
being a stop piece for determining the amount of motion and the parts.
Such being the nature and object of my invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which:-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of part of the framing of a slubbing or roving frame
having my improvements attached.
Fig. 2 shews parts of Fig. 1 detached.
At 1 is a shaft supported by bracket 2 bolted to the frame 3 and by bracket 4

page_text: to the springing piece 5 and operated by the hand lever 6. At 7 is a disc placed
obliquely to the boss 8 and engaging with a slot or groove 9 cut in the lower part of
the arm 10 of the crank 11 and on latter is the step 12 of the bottom cone 13 there
being a stop piece 14 on the bracket 4 for the purpose of locking and staying
parts 10. 11. 12 so as to steady the cone drum 13. Instead of the oblique disc 7
its equivalent such as a worm, screw, or cam for communicating motion from the
boss 8 or from the shaft 1 may be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The improvements herein described comprising the shaft 1 having the oblique
disc 7 (or equivalent of the oblique dise as herein described) for operating 10–11
and 12 for raising and lowering the cone.
Dated this 19th day of January 1895.
