-A communication from Celestin Martin, residing at Verviers,
in the Kingdom of Belgium
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henri Adrien
Bonneville at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with
his Petition, on the 3rd March 1875.
I, HENRI ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent
5 Offices, 18, Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris, France, and 6, Piccadilly,
in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature
of the said Invention for "A NEW AND IMPROVED SPINDLE FOR FIXED
MACHINES FOR SPINNING WOOL AND FIBROUS MATERIALS IN GENERAL,” communi-

page_text: cated to me by Celestin Martin, a person resident at Verviers, in the
Kingdom of Belgium, to be as follows:-
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying Drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional central elevation of the spindle; and Fig. 2, an
elevation of part of the same. In these Figures the same letters indicate 5
similar parts.
This Invention consists in the combination of a solid spindle with a
moveable hollow spindle placed and turning on it for fixed machines for
spinning wool and fibrous materials in general. The stationary spindle A
of steel is screwed at its lower conical part by means of a screw nut B in 1
the cross piece C, which serves as a support. This cross piece C, which
supports a certain number of spindles, ten or fifteen at will, or more or
less, also forms an oil reservoir D, and the oil reaches the stationary
spindle A through the passage E.
Each cross piece is provided with a single reservoir D, that is to say, 1
this reservoir extends from one end to the other of the cross piece, but
each spindle is surrounded by a special reservoir or hollow part F, that is
to say, the latter is cylindrical, and that between each hollow part thero
is a solid one.
In the hollow part F is a small cylindrical stationary cap G made of 2
tin or brass, the bottom of which is perforated. The oil is prevented
by the said cap from being thrown out by the great speed of the hollow
or real spindle, which will be herein-after described.
The said cap
serves also to prevent strange matters from being mixed up with
the oil.
The passage H takes back to the reservoir the oil which has been
thrown outside the cap, but may be dispensed with.
On the stationary spindle A is placed the hollow spindle or tube I of
steel, bronze, or any suitable metal; this tube forms the real spindle,
since the pulley which sets it in motion is mounted on it, since the
twist is given to the thread by means of it, and since on it the latter is
wound. This tube I is supported by the steel pivot K fixed in its
upper part, and turning in the hollow L formed in the stationary spindle..
Two small passages M are formed at the bottom of this hollow L, through
which the oil lubricating the pivot is constantly renewed.
.

page_text: The tube or hollow spindle I is oiled automatically, that is to say,
that while rotating it draws through the tube N the required quantity
of oil; this oil lubricates in passing the lower part of the tube which is
in contact with the spindle, and then rises up to the aperture of the
hollow in the spindle A in order to oil the pivot K.
When it is wished to wind the thread on paper spools (busettes)
another tube O made of tin or any other suitable metal is fixed on the
tube I, and the paper spool is placed on this tube O, but when wooden
spools are used the tube O is not necessary, and the spool is placed on
the spindle I itself.
The small wooden tube P, which is on the spindle I, is used to wind
on some rounds of thread each time that the bobbins are full, and that
they are to be changed; the threads will thus not have to be broken
when the bobbins are to be replaced, and the mode of operation is the
same as with the mill jenny or self-actings.
Q
The piece is to stop the spindle I by rubbing against the pulley
when pressure is applied with the foot on the plate R fixed on the said
piece q. Below this plate is a spring S, which prevents any friction
between the piece q and the pulley when the spindle I does not require
to be stopped for taking up ends.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 31st August 1875.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRI
ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent Offices, 18, Rue
de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris, France, and 6, Piccadilly, in the County
of Middlesex, Patent Agent, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Third day of March, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, in the thirty-
eighth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto me, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, Her special
license that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors, adminis-

page_text: trators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Henri Adrien
Bonneville, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times
thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Inven-
tion for "A NEW AND IMPROVED SPINDLE FOR FIXED MACHINES FOR SPINNING
WOOL AND FIBROUS MATERIALS IN GENERAL," communicated to me by Celestin
Martin, a person resident at Verviers, in the Kingdom of Belgium,
upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Henri Adrien
Bonneville, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing
under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying Drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional central elevation of the spindle; and Fig. 2 an
elevation of part of the same. In these Figures the same letters indicate
similar parts.
The Invention consists in the combination of a stationary solid 1
spindle with a moveable hollow spindle placed and turning on it for
fixed machines for spinning wool and fibrous materials in general. The
stationary spindle A of steel is screwed at its lower conical part by means
of a screw nut B in the cross piece C, which serves as a support. This
cross piece C, which supports a certain number of spindles, ten or fifteen 3
at will, or more or less, also forms an oil reservoir D, and the oil reaches
the stationary spindle A through the passage E.
Each cross piece is provided with a single reservoir D, that is to say,
this reservoir extends from one end to the other of the cross piece, but
each spindle is surrounded by a special reservoir or hollow part F, that is 3
to say, that the latter is cylindrical, and that between each hollow part
there is a solid one.

page_text: In the hollow part F is a washer G made of tin or brass or other
suitable metal. The oil is prevented by the said washer from being
thrown out by the great speed of the hollow or real spindle, which will
be herein after described. The said washer and the pulley H, which is
also partially inserted in the hollow part F, serve also to prevent strange
matters from being mixed up with the oil.
On the stationary spindle A is placed the hollow spindle or tube I of
steel, bronze, or any other suitable metal; this tube forms the real
spindle, since the pulley which sets it in motion is mounted on it, since
the twist is given to the thread by means of it, and since on it the latter
is wound. This tube I is supported by the steel pivot K fixed in. its
upper part, and turning in the hollow L formed in the stationary.
spindle A. Two small passages M are formed at the bottom of this
hollow L, through which the oil lubricating the pivot is constantly
renewed.
The tube or hollow spindle I is oiled automatically, that is to say, that
while rotating it draws through the tube N the required quantity of oil;
this oil lubricates in passing the lower part of the tube which is in
contact with the spindle, and then rises up to the aperture of the hollow
in the spindle A in order to oil the pivot K.
When it is wished to wind the thread on paper spools (busettes)
another tube O made of tin or any other suitable metal is fixed on the
tube I, and the paper spool is placed on this tube O, but when wooden
spools are used the tube O is not necessary, and the spool is placed on
the spindle I itself.
The small tube P of wood or suitable metal, and which is on the
spindle I, is used to wind on some rounds of thread each time that the
bobbins are full, and that they are to be changed; the threads will then
not have to be broken when the bobbins are to be replaced, and the
mode of operation is the same as with the mull jenny or self-actings.
The balance piece Q is to stop the spindle I by rubbing against the
pulley H when pressure is applied with the foot on the pedal R fixed on
the said piece Q. When the spindle I does not require to be stopped
for taking up ends the foot is removed, and the pedal R rises under the
action of the heavy part Q' of the balance piece, which falls down again
and disengages the pulley H.

page_text: Having thus described the nature of the Invention, and the
manner of carrying it into effect, I would have it understood that I do
not confine myself to the precise details above enumerated, as these may
obviously be modified without departing from the principle of the
Invention, but what I claim is,―
1. A spindle for spinning, substantially as above described and repre-
sented in the accompanying Drawings.
2. Automatically oiling spindles for spinning by the devices substan-
tially as above enumerated and shown in the Drawings.
3. An oil reservoir for oiling automatically a certain number of
spindles for spinning at once and for a certain number of days, substan-
tially as above described and set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, have
hereto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-sixth day of August,
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-
five.
