IMPROVED THREAD GUIDE, BALLOONING WIRE, AND SNARL CATCHER, FOR RING SPINNING MACHINERY to be as follows:
Year: 1884

page_text: I SAMUEL TWEEDALE of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVED
THREAD GUIDE, BALLOONING WIRE, AND SNARL CATCHER, FOR RING SPINNING
MACHINERY to be as follows:-
"
This invention, consists of an improved carrier, for the thread guide or eye-and
for the ballooning rings, and snarl catcher, the whole being so constructed,
arranged, and combined, as to dispense with the ordinary top or thread guide
board, and to admit of the ballooning ring, being turned backwards, for doffing or
other purpose, when such ring is enclosing the upper part of the bobbin and cop.
I bolt to a movable rail, a bracket, to which is hinged a curved finger or horn-
to the upper part of the finger or horn, I attach a curled thread guide wire, to the
lower part of the finger or horn, and slightly below the horizontal line of the hinge,
I fix the ballooning wire, the loose end of which is cranked downwards, and
notched, forming a snarl catcher.
As the construction of apparatus above described, admits of the ballooning ring.
being brought down, so as to enclose the upper part of the cop, so reducing the
length of loose thread, and ballooning, and of being turned back, and over the cop
and bobbin, it follows, that the rail carrying the improved apparatus, must be
raised when the point or nose of the cop is being wound.

Manager do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVED
THREAD GUIDE, BALLOONING WIRE, AND SNARL CATCHER, FOR RING SPINNING
MACHINERY" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention consists, of an improved carrier, for the thread guide or eye, and
for the ballooning ring, and snarl catcher the whole being so constructed, arranged,
and combined, as to dispense with the ordinary top or thread guide board, and to
admit of the ballooning ring, and thread guide, being turned backwards, for doffing,
or other purpose, when such ring is enclosing the upper part of the bobbin.
Such being the nature, and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of this specification in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, of the improved apparatus for purposes aforesaid.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation.
Figs. 3, and 4, are side, and front elevations, of part 2 detached.
I bolt to a movable rail 1, a bracket 2, to which is hinged a curved finger or
horn 3, to the upper part of the finger or horn, I attach a curled thread guide wire 4,
to the lower part of the finger or horn 3, and slightly below the horizontal line of
the hinge 5, I fix the anti ballooning wire 6, the loose end of which is cranked,
downwards, and notched, or serrated, forming a snarl catcher 7.
↑
As the construction of apparatus above described, admits of the anti ballooning
ring, being brought down, so as to enclose the upper part of the bobbin 8, so
reducing the length of loose, or slack thread, and also the ballooning length, and of
being turned back, and over the bobbin, as indicated by dotted line, it follows,
that the rail 1, carrying the improved apparatus, must be raised when the point or
nose of the cop is being wound, the raising being by any of the well known
methods.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The improved hinged or tilting carrier 3, carrying, and moving the thread
guide 4, anti ballooning wire 6, and snarl catcher 7, and whereby the anti
ballooning wire 6, and hinge 5, are available, on nearly the same horizontal line or
plane, and the "thread guide boards" heretofore employed, are dispensed with, and
as herein fully described and illustrated by the annexed drawings.
