I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Fum of Edwards and Co., Chartered Patent
Agents and Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In case of the breakage of one of the diving cords which dive the spindles of
spinning or like machinery, which spindles are driven by a dium round which the
driving cords pass, it frequently happens that, if the broken cord is at the end of
the drum, it becomes wound upon the axle of the latter, and very often leads to
extensive damage by fire.
The object of the present invention is to prevent this risk of damage, by a
method of construction or arrangement by which the catching of the broken cord
upon the drum axle 18 impossible. For this purpose a disc is fixed unon the end
of the bearing in which the axle revolves, this disc entering for a short distance
into the end of the periphery of the drum, but being of somewhat smaller diameter
than the latter so that they do not touch when the drum is revolving The broken
cord cannot therefore come in contact with the axle but only with the fixed bear-
ing of the latter

do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to

page_text: be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement and accompanying drawing, that is to say:-
In case of the breakage of one of the driving cords which drive the spindles of
spinning or like machinery, which spindles are driven by a drum round which the
diving cords pass, it frequently happens that, if the broken cord 18 at the end of
the drum, it becomes wound upon the axle of the latter, and very often leads to
extensive damage by burning.
The object of the present invention is to prevent this risk of damage, by a
method of construction or arfangement by which the catching of the broken cord
upon the drum axle is impossible. For this purpose as illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing, which shows a longitudinal section through the apparatus, a
disc 18 fixed upon the end of the bearing in which the axle
revolves, this disc entering for a short distance into the end of the
periphery of the drum, but being of somewhat smaller diameter than
the latter so that they do not touch when the dium is revolving. The broken
cord cannot therefore come in contact with the axle but only with the fixed bear-
ing of the latter
Discs as described are shewn at each end of the bearing a,
entering the ends of two adjoining drums
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 18.-
In bearings for the drums of spinning or like machinery, in which the spindles
are driven by cords passing round the drums, the discs 6 fixed upon the bearing a
and entering the ends of the drums which revolves freely round them, so that the
winding of broken driving cords 1ound the axle 18 prevented, substantially as
described and illustrated
