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:-
The object of this invention is by improved appliances to disengage the lifter
wheels so as to admit of dropping the top rail for doffing, thereby in all cases
to begin winding on at the top of the bobbin.
For purpose aforesaid I employ a horizontal shaft extending from the front to
back of the frame and provided with a handle or hand wheel convenient of
manipulation. At the other end of the said shaft is an eccentric, an arm from
the latter is connected with a clip or fork by means of which the bevel driving
wheel is thrown out of gear with the bevel of the upright shaft which drives
the reversing wheels of the lifter.
Within the clip or fork is a split bush turned out to fit the bevel wheel which
drives the upright shaft the collars of the supporting bracket and on said shaft
act as stop and locking pieces for determining the amount of movement and
position of the parts.
Dated this 16th day of April 1892.

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 :-
The object of this invention is by improved appliances to disengage the lifter
wheels so as to admit of dropping the top rail for doffing thereby in all cases to
begin "winding on at the top of the bobbin.
"
For purpose aforesaid I employ a horizontal shaft extending from the front to
the back of the frame and provided with a handle or hand wheel convenient of
manipulation. At the other end of the said shaft is an eccentric, an arm from the
latter is connected with a clip or fork by means of which the bevel driving
wheel is thrown out of gear with the bevel of the upright shaft which drives the
reversing wheels of the lifter.
Within the clip or fork is a split bush turned out to fit the bevel wheel which
drives the upright shaft the collars of the supporting bracket on said shaft act as
stop and locking pieces for determining the amount of movement and position of
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 a plan view of parts of the framing of a slubbing and roving frame
having my improvements applied thereto part being shewn in section.
Fig. 2 is an elevation shewing part of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the slip and split bush.

page_text: At 1 is a horizontal shaft supported in brackets 22 having handle 3 and on
which shaft is an eccentric 4 with stop pin 5 the arm 6 from the eccentric 4 is
connected with the clip or fork 7 (see Fig. 3) by means of which the bevel driving
wheel 8 is thrown out of gear with the bevel 9 on the upright shaft 10 which drives
the ordinary-reversing wheels of the lifter. Within the fork 7 is the split bush 11
turned out at 12, to fit the bevel wheel 8 which drives the upright shaft 10. The
collar 13 of the bracket 14 acts as a stop piece for determining the amount of
movement and position of the split bush and bevel wheel 8 on the shaft 15. The
split bush 11 affords a considerable bearing for the collars a, b on the wheel 8 and
permits "back lash."
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-On turning the handle 3 the
eccentric 4 receives a half turn determined by the pin 5; the arm 6 by means
of the fork 7 slides the split bush 11 shaft 15 wheel 8 out of gear with the
wheel 9 on the upright shaft 10 the wheel 8 being run disengaged from the
wheel 9 admits of the top rail being lowered by the ordinary appliances.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The improvements herein described and illustrated by annexed drawings com-
prising the parts 1-4. 6. 7. 11 for purpose of operating the wheel 8 as herein set
forth.
2. The clips 7 and split bush 11 combined with the upright 10 and gear wheels 8.9
as herein described.
