JOSEPH WARREN WATTLES, of the State of Massachusetts, of the United States of
America. "IMPROVEMENTS IN MECHANISM FOR SPINNING."
It has special reference to the rings of what are termed ring spinning frames,
also to the supports and means for the adjustment of such rings.
The first improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of a single race ring having a short eccentric shank with a ring
receiver rebated to receive the ring shank, and provided with a cross cut or peri-
pheral slit, and an eccentric shank to enter the ring rail, and to be secured therein
by a screw.
The second improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
spinning frame ring, provided with a stationary partial or semi-race, and a socket
projecting below such, and being for the reception, either of a movable, single, partial,
or semi-race, and a supporting bushing projecting down therefrom, or for such a
bushing having a partial or semi-race at each of its ends.
The third improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of the bushing or annulus, and one or two partial or semi-races
arranged with it as above described, with the spinning frame ring provided with
a stationary partial or semi-race, and a socket or rebate projecting below such, and
having within it the bushing and its partial race or races.
The fourth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
bushing made or provided with either one or two partial or semi-races.
The fifth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
contractile spinning frame ring provided, not only with a stationary partial or
semi-race and a rebate or socket projecting below such race, but having a cross
cut or opening going through it, the said ring, from its inner to its outer cir-
cumference.
The sixth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of a spinning frame ring having two races, and an eccentric flange
arranged between them, with a ring holder having an eccentric rebate to receive
such flange, and to support the ring.

page_text: The seventh improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring holder constructed with or having an eccentric rebate to receive
and support the duplex race ring, and to co-operate with its flange in effecting
adjustment of the ring into concentricity with the spindle.
The eighth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring holder having the outer cylindrical surface of its shank eccentric
with reference to the inner cylindrical surface thereof, and also having an eccentric
rebate to receive the eccentric flange of the ring, and to support the ring and co-
operate with the flange in effecting adjustment of the ring into concentricity with
the spindle
The ninth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring holder having a cross cut" arranged in it, and also having an
eccentric rebate for the reception of the eccentric flange of the ring.
The tenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring provided with an eccentric flange between the races, and having
the inner periphery of the part which connects the two races cylindrical.
The eleventh improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring holder having a cross cut and an eccentric shank and rebate.
The twelfth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of a duplex race ring having two races, and an eccentric flange with a
ring holder provided with a supporting shoulder to its shank, and also having an
eccentric rebate for support of the ring and for reception of the eccentric flange
thereof.
The thirteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in a
duplex race ring having two races and an eccentric flange arranged between them,
with a ring holder having a cross cut, a shank, a supporting shoulder, and an eccentric
1ebate.
The fourteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of a spinning frame ring and its supporting rail, with an eccentric
flange applied to the ring, and with an abutment and clamp screw applied to the
rail.
The fifteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
combination of a spinning frame ring sustaining annulus, the ring rail, the ring, an
eccentric flange, an abutment, and a clamp screw.
The sixteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
abutment as provided with or fastened to a shank or annulus to extend into the rail
opening, and aid in supporting the abutment, or in securing it to the rail.
The seventeenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in
the spinning frame ring supporting annulus, as provided with a hole or opening for
the passage of the clamp screw to the ring when in such annulus.
The eighteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in the
spinning frame ring supporting annulus, as provided with a flange for sustaining it
on the rail, and with a hole or opening for the passage of the clamp screw to the
ring when in such annulus
The nineteenth improvement or part of my Invention relates to or consists in
spinning frame ring supporting annulus provided with an abutment, and also having
a screw passage arranged in it, the said annulus, and opposite to the abutment.
