Improvements in or connected with Spinning Frames.
We, JOHN JAMES BAILEY, of the Eagle Ironworks, Stalybridge, in the County of
Chester, Machinist, and JAMES WILLIAM MORRISON, of 62 Stalybridge Road,
Ashton-under-Lyne, in the County of Lancaster, 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 improvements in or connected with twisting rings in ring
spinning frames such as are described in the Specification of the Patent No. 7693 of
1895 for simultaneously twisting and guiding the yarn from the fluted rollers to the
cop or bobbin, or like rings that are positively driven, and to improvements in the
construction and mounting of spindles in said ring spinning frames.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is an edge view of a twisting ring constructed according to this our
invention Fig. 2 is a plan of the same:
Fig. 3 is an edge view and. Fig. 4 a plan of a holder for carrying said ring:
Fig. 5 is an edge view of twisting ring fitted in holder: Fig. 6 is a section of the
same:
Fig. 7 is an edge view and Fig. 8 a plan showing a modification of our improved
twisting ring:
Figs. 9. and 10 are respectively a transverse section and plan of a modification of.
holder for carrying the aforesaid ring.
Fig. 11 is a front view, and Fig. 12 a vertical section of our improved spindle and
spindle socket in combination with the aforesaid twisting ring and holder.
In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.
In this invention we fit in the ring rail ba holder as shown either in Figs. 3 and 4
or Figs. 9 and 10.
The central portion c of said holder is constructed for a twisting ring as shown
in Figs. 1 and 2 or Figs. 7 and 8 to fit thereon, the edge m of said twisting ring
resting on the bottom of the oil bath e which is formed between the edge f and the
central portion of the holder. A groove or channel g as Figs. 3 and 4 is cut in the
bottom front portion of the oil bathe by which the twisting ring is lubricated, the oil
being fed and the air admitted to the exterior surface of the central portion of the
holder c, or the ring may be supplied with lubricant at the oil hole h as Figs. 9 and 10,
which is connected with the oil channel 9 by a tunnel k drilled through the
intervening wall of metal. In order to prevent the lubricant from rising and
over-flowing the central portion c of the ring holder, we cut a fine groove s around
the inside of the twisting ring as shown in Fig. 12. The eyes or pins q through
which the yarn is passed as it comes from the drawing rollers are fitted in the upper
surface of the ring as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or we obtain an equivalent by means of
a groove and slot which we form in the upper part of the ring as shown
in Figs 7 and 8. The ring is revolved by a cord from the tin roller placed around
the ring in the groove..
The lower flange al of the twisting ring represented in Fig. 1 and the upper
flange in Fig. 7 are formed with well rounded edges in order to allow for
the stoppage of the ring with the thumb or finger for the purpose of piecing up the
broken ends of the yarn. In order that the vibration of the spindle rail may

be neutralized, we construct the spindles for carrying the bobbins so that said
spindles may be mounted loosely in the spindle rail a. To effect this we form
the lower portion j of the spindle of solid metal sufficiently long to project through
socket as d which is open through its entire length and is fitted to the spindle rail by
means of a nut d' said lower portion of spindle is formed with a shoulder ¹ which
rests on the upper portion of the socket d: the part of the spindle is turned so as to
be an easy fit in the socket d or of a diameter that will allow sufficient freedom for the
spindle to adapt itself to the vibrations caused by the high rate of speed at which the
machine is intended to work.
:
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1st. In ring spinning frames the use of a twisting ring in combination with a holder
as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 on the accompanying drawing substantially as and for the
purpose herein before described.
2nd. In ring spinning frames the use of a twisting ring with eyes or pins as q or
grooves and slot q¹ fitted to or formed in the upper edge of said ring as and for the
purpose substantially as herein before described.
3rd. In ring spinning frames the combination with twisting rings of an oil groove
ass and the use of a holder in which is an oil bathe and an oil groove g as Fig. 4, or
an oil channel g and a tunnel k as Fig. 10 substantially as and for the purpose herein
before described.
4th. In ring spinning frames the use of twisting rings with flanges that are
constructed with full rounded edges in the manner and for the purpose as herein
before described.
5th. In ring spinning frames the use of spindles whose lower ends are constructed
of solid metal and formed with a shoulder j so as to rest on a socket as d that is
fitted to the spindle rail, said lower end of spindle passing through and being retained
loosely in the aforesaid socket in the manner and for the purpose substantially
as hereinbefore set forth and described.
