Improvements relating to Spindles used in Cap Spinning and
Twisting Frames.
I, FRANK HOLROYD, of 18 Cobden Street, Commercial Road, Halifax, in
the County of York, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to means to be employed for automatically lubricating the
spindles of machines used in cap spinning and twisting frames.
In carrying out my invention I employ a bracket, in the centre of which is a
wooden bush such bracket being placed over the spindle or tube and resting upon
the lifting rail. At one side of the metal bracket is a cup shaped projection,
communicating by an opening with the spindle. The lubricant is poured into the
cup and it passes through the opening to a washer resting on the lifting rail- and
under the bracket, so that as the lifting rail rises and falls, the washer, which is
saturated with lubricant, supplies the necessary oil to the spindle. To prevent the
bushed bracket turning around with the spindle or tube. it is provided with a lug
which is arranged to be placed on one side of the lifting rail or instead of the lugs
projecting down the lifting rail they may be arranged parallel with it and made
with grooves or snecks to receive corresponding projections formed on the adjoining
bracket.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Spindles used in Cap Spinning and
Twisting Frames.
I, FRANK HOLROYD, of 18, Cobden Street, Commercial Road, Halifax, in the
County of York, Mechanic, 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 means to be employed for automatically lubricating the
spindles of machines used in cap spinning and twisting frames.
Such being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein
Fig. 1 is elevation of a wharle, bobbin and spindle having my improved
lubricating device applied to it.
Fig. 2 is another view of the same.
Fig. 3 is section of the lubricating device.
Fig. 4 a plan view and Fig. 5 a view of the underside of the improved
appliance.
A represents the ordinary lifting rail of a spinning and twisting frame, B is the
driving wharle revolving on the spindle C, and D is a bobbin upon which the yarn
is wound. My improved device or appliance is marked E and comprises a metal
part E and a wooden bush F. As the wooden bush F shrinks and dries in through
the high temperature of the spinning room I have discovered from experience that
the wooden portion F soon gets loose from the metal portion and the two separate.
To prevent this, the underside of my lubricating appliance is made with
projections a and they are sunken in the wood part F, whilst the upper part of

page_text: the metal portion E is indented at 6 forming projections or burrs on the inside and
these are clenched into the wood whereby it cannot leave the metal part when
shrinking takes place. To effectively lubricate the spindle the lifting rail is
countersunk and one or more wads G are placed therein. The lubricant is poured
into the cup or spout H forming part of the plate E such lubricant passing through
a small opening c and is absorbed by the wads and as the lifting rail reciprocates
up and down, the spindle is continuously and freely lubricated.
In order to prevent
the lubricating device E from being made to rotate by the base of the rotating
wharle resting on the wooden part F, I cast a projection I on the part E which
effectually prevents the lubricating appliance from rotating.
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 :-
Firstly. A lubricating appliance, comprising a metal plate E in combination
with a wooden bush F the former having a cup H and an opening c to supply oil to
the spindle, all as shewn and described.
Secondly. A lubricating appliance with projections a and indents 6 for fastening
the bush in its place as shewn and described.
