the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved holder for carrying cop-tubes upon the
spindles of a spinning machine.
Heretofore wooden holders of conical shape have been placed upon the spindles of
machines for spinning wool and other textile fibres to carry the tubes upon which the
thread for forming the cops is wound.
These wooden holders had several defects the chief of which are (1st) That of not
maintaining all the tubes at the same height, which gives rise to irregular work: and
(2nd) that of allowing the cops to ascend.
With the improved metallic cop tube holder hereinafter described I obviate these
defects.
When several cop-tube holders are placed in a straight line on the spindles of a
spinning machine, the cop tubes are held upon the bases of the holders and are thus
all kept automatically at the same level even if they are of various sizes. The advan-
tages of this arrangement are (1st) very regular cops can be made (2nd) more thread
can be put on a cop than heretofore and consequently the taking off is less frequent
(3rd) the copping can take place in a more regular manner than heretofore and upon
the same diameter, owing to which the breakage of the threads in the copping at the
commencement of the taking off is obviated, and (4th) the springs hold the tube in a
perfect manner so that, the cops cannot rise.
My cop tube holder has a circular spring and is essentially formed of a sheet of
metal in which suitable longitudinal openings are cut.
The said plate is also stamped so as to form two or more transverse ribs or projections
thereon. The sheet thus cut and stamped is then bent longitudinally upon a mandrel
of suitable form and the longitudinal edges are connected. The circular spring thus
obtained is placed upon a spindle where it is maintained by a ring around it,

page_text: The tube which carries the cop is maintained upon the holder by the said ribs or
projections and it rests upon a shoulder formed by the lower rib.
A cop tube holder of wood for a water twist frame can also be provided with
a circular spring holder according to this invention. This spring is formed from a
sheet of metal in which a rib is made to form branches and on which two diametri-
cally opposite projections are formed. The said branches project radially from the
spindle as previously and retain the cop tube upon the holder. The latter is provided
with a suitable notch in order that the holder shall be well secured when it has been
placed upon the spindle.
Cop tube holders having circular springs can be constructed of any dimensions,
and can be applied to any systems of spinning machines heretofore known as welĺ
as to shuttle points for looms.

I AUGUSTE DEBARGUE, of Fourmies (Nord) France, Machinist 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 an improved holder for carrying cop-tubes upon the
spindles of a spinning machine.
Heretofore wooden holders of conical shape have been placed upon the spindles of
machines for spinning wool and other textile fibres to carry the tubes upon which
the thread for forming the cops is wound.
These wooden holders had several defects, the chief of which are, 1st That of not
maintaining all the tubes at the same height, which gives rise to irregular work; and
second, that of allowing the cops to ascend.
With the improved metallic cop tube holder hereinafter described I obviate these
defects.
When several cop-tube holders are placed in a straight line on the spindles of a
spinning machine, the said cop-tubes are held upon the bases of the holders and are
thus all kept automatically at the same level even if they are of various sizes.
The advantages of this arrangement are (1st) very regular cops can be made; (2nd)
more thread can be put on a cop than heretofore and consequently the taking off is
less frequent (3rd) the copping can take place in a more regular manner than here-
tofore and upon the same diameter, owing to which the breakage of the threads in
the copping at the conimencement of the taking off is obviated; and (4th) the springs
hold the tube in a perfect manner so that the cops cannot rise.
My cop tube holder has a circular spring and is essentially formed of a sheet of
metal in which suitable longitudinal openings are cut.
The construction of this cop tube holder will be better understood from the following
description with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 represents in elevation a spindle end provided with a cop tube holder.
Figure 2 shows in sectional elevation a spindle end provided with a cop tube holder
and with a cop.
In carrying my said invention into practice I cut and stamp a sheet of metal so as
to form two or more transverse ribs or projections e, e, thereon as represented in front.
view and longitudinal section in Figures 3 and 4. The sheet thus cut and stamped
is then bent longitudinally upon a mandril of suitable form and the longitudinal
edges a c, b d are connected. The circular spring holder A Figure 1 thus obtained is
placed upon a spindle B where it is maintained by a ring C. As shown in Figure 2
the tube which carries the cop D is maintained upon the holder A by the said ribs or
projections e, e, and it rests upon a shoulder formed by the lower ribs or projections g, g.
Figure 5 shows a cop tube holder of wood for a water twist frame which can also he

page_text: provided with a circular spring holder according to this invention. This spring is
formed from a sheet of metal in which a rib is made to form branches e, e and is
provided with two diametrically opposite projections h h. The said branches e¹ el
project radially from the spindle as previously and retain the cop tube upon the holder.
The latter is provided with a suitable notch in order that the holder shall be well
secured when it has been placed upon the spindle.
Cop tube holders having circular springs can be constructed of any dimensions, and
can be applied to any system of spinning machines heretofore known as well as to
shuttle pegs or tongues for looms.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved cop tube holder provided with a circular spring as described above
with reference to the drawing, the said holder being made either, entirely of metal and
formed integral with the spring, or of wood or other suitable material with the spring
attached thereto in any suitable manner, as above described.
