PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Spinning, Twisting, and
Doubling Frames.
ALFRED HITCHON, Ivy Bank, Accrington, Machinist, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement to class of spindle as illustrated and
described in Patent Specification No. 3674 A.D. 1891 being illustrated by five
figures on this Specification which will serve to make plain at which part this further
improvement is applied one portion being to the spindle blade E and the other
portion to the inner part of the short tube A. In the Patent referred to there is
a paper sheath made use of in length something over the full length of the cops
that are to be formed on the same on the outer surface of such tubes the short
tube A. of disc B-slides over freely-whereas in this new invention such disc tube
fits in close contact with the spindle and on the inside of the tube A, I form
projections one of which is in the form of a spring to engage into longitudinal
grooves cut into the spindle blade E so as to cause tube A and disc B to revolve
with the spindle and at the same speed. By doing this a positive revolving action
is given to the revolving disc B as soon as the spindle begins to be driven and is
always maintained with the same regularity of speed as the spindles themselves.

ALFRED HITCHON, Ivy Bank, Accrington, Machinist 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 relates to an improvement to class of spindle as illustrated and
described in Patent Specification No. 3,674 A.D. 1891, the drawings of which
will serve to make plain, at which part, this further improvement is applied, one
portion being to the spindle blade E and the other portion to the inner part of the
short tube A. In the Patent referred to there is a paper sheath made use of in
length something over the full length of the cops that are to be formed on the
same on the outer surface of such tubes the short tube A of disc B slides over
freely whereas in this new invention such disc tube fits in close contact with the
spindle and on the inside of the tube A, I form projections one of which is in the
form of a spring to engage into longitudinal grooves D cut into the spindle blade E
so as to cause tube A and discs B and C to revolve with the spindle and at the
same speed. By doing this a positive revolving action is given to the revolving.
disc B as soon as the spindle begins to be driven and is always maintained with
the same regularity of speed as the spindles themselves.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1, is a view of grooved spindle showing the circular disc in a central position
of the key way part of the spindle E.
Fig. 2 shows a plan section of the spindle to illustrate the two key ways
of same.
Fig. 3 illustrates, discs B & C to an enlarged scale in section showing inner
projections F and F¹ being in the form of a spring.
Fig. 4 shows same projections and spring like key mounted to disc B, and within
the tube of same, also in the groove part D of spindle E in section, the upper part
of this disc tube, and part of spindle being drawn more in full circle.
Fig. 5 is a plan of disc B and spindle E in centre to illustrate the grooved key
ways D.
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 :-
1st. An improved spindle having longitudinal grooves prepared in same for
driving positive the disc plate B of class of spindle and disc plates as described and
illustrated in Specification 3,674, A.D. 1891 and for same like purposes.
2nd. Inner tube projections, also the same being made in form of a spring for
better retaining the disc in position and for positive driving same along with the
-spindle as described and illustrated.
Signed this 5th day of December 1894.
