PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Slubbing, Roving, Intermediate, and Spinning
Frames.
We THOMAS GORDON, Manager and LAYCOCK HARGREAVES, Manager both
of Globe Works, Accrington in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to cap bars of slubbing, roving, intermediate and spinning
frames and comprises improvements in means of securing said bars to their
carrying shaft and in the means of securing the stud which carries the slides
within which the axles of the rollers work.
According to this our said invention we employ a plain shaft for carrying the
cap bars, and we cut a saw gate through the boss of each, cap bar, so that when
the said bar is on its carrying shaft the boss may by means of a set screw be
tightened upon the shaft and thus secured in position, there being no through
pin, groove or other appliance and with the further advantage that each bar can
be readily and accurately adjusted and fixed on its carrying shaft according to
any length of rollers. The stud slides we do not pass through the cap bar and
to the boss of the latter as formerly, the stud is preferably tapped and screwed,
and is provided with a square shoulder which determines its position by fitting
against the face of the cap bar.
Dated this 25th day of March 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Slubbing, Roving, Intermediate, and Spinning
Frames.
We THOMAS GORDON, Manager, and LAYCOCK HARGREAVES, Manager, both
of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster, 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 cap bars of slubbing, roving, intermediate, and spinning
frames, and comprises improvements in means of securing said bars to their
carrying shaft, and in the means of securing the stud which carries the slides
within which the axles of the rollers work.
According to this our said invention we employ a plain shaft for carrying the
cap bars, and we cut a saw gate through the boss of each cap bar, so that when the
said bar is ou its carrying shaft, the boss may by means of a set screw be tightened
upon the shaft, and thus secured in position, there being no through pin, groove, or
other appliance, and with the further advantage that each bar can be readily and
accurately adjusted and fixed on its carrying shaft, according to the guage of the
frame. The stud slides 4 we do not pass through the cap bar, and to the boss of
the latter as formerly the stud is preferably screwed, and is provided with a
square shoulder, which determines its position by fitting against the face of the
cap bar.

page_text: Such being the nature and object of our said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of our improved cap bar.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of same.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation.
At 1 is plain shaft for the cap bars 2, the boss of the latter is saw gate cut or
otherwise divided by slit 3, so that the cap bar is loose on its shaft until adjusted
to the required position on the said shaft 1, whereon the set screw 8 is tightened.
causing contraction of the boss 3 thereby gripping the shaft 1, and the cap bar is
securely held without the use of a through pin and groove, or other like appliance
heretofore necessary, and with the further advantage that in event of any change
of length of rollers, the whole of the cap bars can be slacked, readily and accurately
adjusted or spaced and fixed on the shaft I to any guage of frame. The stud
slide 4 is screwed into a tapped hole, as 5, in the cap bar, said stud being made flat
on its upper surface in order that the end of the set screw 6 may securely hold the
neb 7 in the required position on the said stud 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of our
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
(1.) The improvements in cap bars comprising the combined slit boss and
screwed stud slide 4, as illustrated by annexed drawings, and herein fully
described.
(2.) The adjustable cap bar having slit boss 3 and plain shaft 1 for purpose
described.
(3.) The screwed stud slide as applied to cap bars, and carrying the ueb of
and providing for adjustment of the latter, as described and illustrated by drawings
annexed.
