IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING
Year: 1885

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I, ALEXANDER MELVILLE CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Win. Clark, of
53, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING a communication to me from abroad by
Leedham Binns of the City and County of Philadelphia State of Pennsylvania
United States of America Manufacturer to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to cap spinning frames and consists in a novel combination
of parts including a tube constructed to engage with the bobbin and fitting on the
whirl tube upon which it is free to slide and is guided longitudinally and also to
slide upon the upper portion of the spindle itself substantially as hereinafter,
described and whereby it is made practicable and convenient to use a bobbin of
considerable length capable of carrying a large amount of yarn, and a steady and
smooth rising and falling motion is ensured for the bobbin.
The spindle is fixed to the spindle rail, and provided with a cap as usual in cap
spinning frames, and the cap may be surrounded by a continuous yarn guard of
any suitable construction, in addition to the ordinary or any suitable yarn guides.
The whirl rotates freely on the spindle, and has a longitudinally slotted tube
attached to its upper side, which tube rises through the lifting rail. Another tube
is titted to freely slide up and down on the slotted tube and is longitudinally guided
thereon by a pin on the former, entering the longitudinal slot in the latter the upper
end of the said sliding tube fitting and sliding upon the upper portion of the
spindle. Upon the lower end of the sliding tube, is a flange having wings or lugs
on it, which fit within cavities in the lower end of the bobbin, to ensure the
rotation of the latter in common with the whirl and its attached tube. This
construction gives a steadier and smoother rising and falling motion to the bobbin
and by means of it, a longer bobbin than is customary may be used and consequently
an increased amount of yarn be put upon a bobbin.

53, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING" (a communication to me from
abroad by Leedham Binns of the City and County of Philadelphia State of
Pennsylvania United States of America, Manufacturer) and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to cap spinning frames and consists in a novel combination
of parts including a tube constructed to engage with the bobbin and fitting on the
whirl tube upon which it is free to slide and is guided longitudinally, and also to
slide upon the upper portion of the spindle itself, substantially, as hereinafter
described, and whereby it is made practicable and convenient to use a bobbin of
considerable length capable of carrying a large amount of yarn, and a steady and
smooth rising and falling motion is ensured for the bobbin.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings which form part of this
specification and in which Figure, 1 is a sectional elevation of a spindle and cap
with other parts immediately pertaining thereto as used in cap spinning with the
invention applied.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same on the line x, x, in Figure 1 and
Figure 3 a partly sectional plan viow mainly in illustration of a continuous yarn
guide that may be used the saine also being shown in Figure 1.
A in the drawings indicates one of the fixed spindles of a cap spinning frame
aud B the spindle rail; C is the cap; D, D, the ordinary or any suitable yarn
guides, E the top board, aud F the travelling or lifting rail.
G is a continuous yarn guard which may be of any suitable construction and is
arranged to receive the cap C within or through it.
M is the whirl arranged to freely rotate on the spindle and which has a tube N
attached to it. Another tube O is fitted to freely slide up and down the tube N
and is longitudinally guided thereon by a pin fon said tube O entering a longi-
tudinal slot g in the whirl tube N the upper end of said sliding tube O fitting and
sliding upon the upper portion of the spindle A. Upon the lower end of this
tube O is a flange h having wings or lugs on it, which fit within cavities h, in the
lower end of the bobbin to ensure the rotation of the latter in common with
the whirl and its attached tube N. This construction gives a steadier and smoother
rising and falling motion to the bobbin, and by means of it a longer bobbin than is
customary may be used, and consequently an increased amount of yarn be put upon
a bobbin,
.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The combination with the fixed spindle A, of the whirl M the longitudinally
slotted tube N, fast on said whirl, the tube O constructed to drive the bobbin and
to slide longitudinally upon or up and down the whirl tube and spindle in guiding
connection with the Blotted portion of the whirl tube and the travelling or lifting
rail F, substantially as described.
