Improvements in Machines for Balling Twine, Cord, Yarn, or such
like material.
We WILLIAM GAINES BYWATER of Sweet Street Foundry, Leeds in the
County of York Machine Maker, and THOMAS BELLSHAW BEAULAND of the
same place Draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
These present improvements relate more particularly to machines by which balls
or rolls of twine or such like material are formed by being wound upon a quickly.
revolving horizontal spindle, and the guide or conductor through which the twine
passes moves quickly from end to end of the required length of the ball or roll and
so the layers of twine are crossed over each other and bind the roll together.
The object of this invention is to automatically stop the roll when any required
diameter has been reached. For this purpose the mechanism is constructed as
follows.
The spindle upon which the roll is to be wound is carried at its ends in bearings
at the ends of a forked lever. This lever rests in brackets at its opposite end in
which it may freely turn as the roll increases in diameter. The spindle rests upon
the face of a pulley which is as wide as the spindle is long. The pulley is fixed to
the driving shaft and as it revolves gives motion to the spindle. The twine to be
made into a roll is taken from bobbins, and after passing over suitable brake rods is
passed through a quickly to and fro traversing guide, which moves parallel to the,
spindle, thus the twine is wound upon the spindle to the required diameter. At a
point on one side of the forked lever a rod is suspended from a stud from which it
hangs a little out of the perpendicular. The rod has a number of holes at one
end from any one of which it may be suspended according to the diameter of the
roll required, at the lower end a notch is inade. In a line with the pulley which
drives the spindle, is a shaft upon which is fixed a small forked lever, between the
forked end of which the notched rod rests. A rising and falling motion is given to
the small forked lever, thus when the forked lever which carries the spindle has
risen to the height according to the diameter of the roll required, the notched end
of the rod is raised clear of the top of the small forked lever when at its lowest
point so the rod is free to fall nearer to a perpendicular position, in doing so the.
notch comes over the top of the small forked lever, which when raised, raises the
rod and forked lever to such a height that the roll is free from contact with
the driving pulley. When raised to the highest point a second rod which is jointed
to the first one at their lower ends, and which has a notch at its upper end, falls
forwards and engages with a projection, and so the roll is kept clear of the driving
pulley, and is consequently stopped.

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer
tained in and by the following statement :-
These present improvements relate more particularly to machines by which balls
or rolls of twinė or such like material are formed by being wound upon a quickly
revolving horizontal spindle, and the guide or conductor through which the twine
passes moves quickly from end to end of the required length of the ball or roll and
so the layers of twine are crossed over each other, and bind the roll together.
The object of this invention is to automatically stop the roll when any required
diameter has been reached. For this purpose the mechanism is constructed as
follows: Reference being had to the accompanying drawings and figures thereon,
Fig. 1 being an elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan of such parts of the machine as are
necessary to shew this invention.
.
'
The spindle 1 upon which the roll is to be wound is carried at its ends in bearings
at the ends of a forked lever 2. This lever rests in brackets 3 at its end in which
it may freely turn as the roll increases in diameter. The spindle 1 rests upon the
face of a pulley 4 which is as wide as the spindle 1 is long. The pulley 4 is fixed
to the driving shaft 5, and as it revolves gives motion to the spindle 1. The
twine to be made into a roll is taken from bobbins (which are not shewn on the
drawings) and after passing over suitable brake rods is passed through a quickly
to and fro traversing guide 6 which moves parallel to the spindle I thus the twine
is wound upon the spindle to the required diameter. At a point on one side of the
forked lever 2 a rod 7 is suspended from a stud 8, from which it hangs a little out
of the perpendicular. The rod 7 has a number of holes at one end from any one of
which it may be suspended according to the diameter of the roll required, at the
lower end of the rod 7 a notch 9 is made. In a line with the pulley 4 which drives
the spindle 1 is a shaft 10 upon which is fixed a small forked lever 11 between the
forked end of which the notched rod 7 rests. A rising and falling motion is given
to the small forked lever 11 by means of chain wheel 12 and connecting rod 13,
thus when the forked lever 2 which carries the spindle 1 has risen to the height
according to the diameter of the roll required the notched end of the rod 7 is raised
clear of the top of the small forked lever 11 when at its lowest point so that it is
free to fall nearer to a perpendicular position, and in doing so, the notch 9 comes
oyer the top of the lever 11 which when raised, raises the rod 7 and lever 2 to
such a height, that the roll is free from contact with the driving pulley 4.
When raised to the highest point a second rod 14 which is jointed to the rod 7
at their lower ends and which has a notch 15 at its upper end falls forwards
and engages with a projection 16, so the roll is kept clear of the driving pulley 4
and is consequently stopped. In order to release the lever 2 the foot lever 17
is pressed and the upper part of rod 7 pulled forwards, and this releases rod 14
from projection 16.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is―
The use of the mechanism substantially as herein set forth and described for the
purpose of regulating the size of the roll as required and stopping the revolutions
of the said roll when the required size has been reached.
