Improvements relating to Spinning, Twisting, or Winding Machine
Spindles.
EDWIN HITCHON Ivy Bank Accrington Machine Draughtsman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention has reference to improvements in spinning or twisting machine
spindle supports or bolsters, the latter being of a well known type of those having an
outside oiling tube or conductor such as illustrated in Patent No. 19 36 A.D. 1889,
and covered by a kind of cap pressed over the inlet part of the oiling tube.
The oiling tube cover aforesaid is of neat device and does not take up much room
under the ring rail, but on account of it being a separate and independent article it
is liable to be misplaced and left off the oiling tube.
A method of mounting a cover is illustrated in Patent 14817, A.D. 1892 which
shows the oiling tube cover mounted by a hinge formed on the mouth of the oiling
tube, and to shut down as a lid, over the mouth of the oiling tube.
An objection to the mounting of the oiling tube cover as illustrated in the afore-
said Patent is caused by making the lid or cover serve a twofold purpose, that is, of
covering the oiling tube, and also a spindle holder by overlapping a part of the
spindle wharve edge, and thereby necessitating the hinge pin being fixel much
above the oiling tube top, so that the portion of the lid which forms the spindle
holder will clear the spindle wharve when the lid is lifted up, the excessive height
of this mounting being in the way of the downward movement of the ring rail.
In this my invention I do not hinge the cover to the upright oiling tube I make
such cover on the upper end of an upright wire or shaft, the lower part of such
upright wire is bent to an angle to form an oscillating shaft mounted in a recess or
a bored hole made across the spindle bolster base or flange, then the wire shaft is
bent upwards and hooklike, to form a spindle holder, this latter part being
illustrated in Patent No. 4720 A.D. 1882 Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, which show an
oscillating cross shaft such as I make use of and showing the spindle holder and
balance lever formed out of the same wire.
I add. an oiling tube to a similar spindle as illustrated in Patent No. 4720
A.D. 1882, and also form by a continuation of the same wire which forms the
spindle holder, an oiling tube cover.
So that out of the same wire I form one upright arm with the upper end bent
over to form a spindle holder, similar to the one illustrated in Patent No. 4720
A.D. 1882, and another upright arm with a bent over part to form a cover for the
oiling tube.
In some cases I may make use of a spring to keep the spindle holder and tube
cover arms in position in lieu of balancing lever marked 2 in Patent No. 4720
A.D. 1882.

Spindles.
EDWIN HITCHON, Ivy Bank, Accrington, Machine Draughtsman, 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 has reference to improvements in spinning or twisting machine
spindle supports or bolsters, the latter being of a well known type of those having
an outside oiling tube or conductor such as illustrated in Patent No. 19036
A.D). 1889, and covered by a kind of cap pressed over the inlet part of the oiling
tube. The oiling tube cover aforesaid is of neat device and does not take up much
room under the ring rail, but on account of it being a separate and independent
article it is liable to be misplaced and left off the oiling tube. A method of
mounting a cover is illustrated in Patent 14817, A.D. 1892 which shows the oiling
tube cover mounted by a hinge formed on the mouth of the oiling tube, and to shut
down as a lid, over the mouth of the oiling tube.
An objection to the mounting of the oiling tube cover as illustrated in the
aforesaid Patent is caused by making the lid or cover serve a twofold purpose,
that is, of covering the oiling tube, and also a spindle holder by overlapping a
part of the spindle wharve edge, and thereby necessitating the hinge pin being
fixed much above the oiling tube top, so that the portion of the lid which
forms the spindle holder will clear the spindle wharve when the lid is lifted up,
the excessive height of this mounting being in the way of the downward movement
of the ring rail.
In this my invention I do not hinge the cover to the upright oiling tube.
I make such cover on the upper end of an upright wire or shaft, the lower part
of such upright wire is bent to an angle to form an oscillating shaft mounted
in a recess or a bored hole made across the spindle bolster base or flange, then
the wire shaft is bent upwards and hooklike, this part being illustrated in
Patent No. 4720, A.D. 1882, Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, which show an oscillating
cross shaft such as I make use of, and showing the spindle holder and balance
lever formed out of the same wire.
I add an oiling tube to a similar spindle as illustrated in Patent. No. 4720
A.D. 1882, and also form by a continuation of the same wire which forms the
spindle bolder, an oiling tube cover so that out of the same wire I form one upright
arm with the upper end bent over to form a spindle holder, similar to the one
illustrated in Patent No. 4720, A.D. 1882, and another upright arm with a bent
over part to form a cover for the oiling tube.
In some cases I may make use of a spring to keep the spindle holder and
tube cover arms in position in lieu of balancing lever marked 2 in Patent No. 4720
A.D. 1882.
In the accompanying drawings on Sheet 1, Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are elevations of the
spindle showing the combined spindle holder and oil tube cover in position and
Fig. 7 is a plan of same.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the combined cover and spindle holder detached.
Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged elevations of part of spindle bolster or base forming
bearing for oscillating cross shaft of combined spindle holder and cover. On all
the figures the letters of reference are in keeping with each other.
A is the spindle, B the bolster, C the upright oil tube. At D is shown the cross
bearing for the oscillating cross shaft which is shown at E. G is an upright part of
shaft E, part marked F of same forms the cover of the oil tube, G is the
