page_text: WHEREAS 1 am in possession of an Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
MACHINES FOR SPINNING WOOL, COTTON, SILK, AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS,"
communicated to me by Célestin Martin, a person resident at Verviers,
in the Kingdom of Belgium, Engineer, and have petitioned Her Majesty
to grant unto me, my executors, administrators, and assigns, Her Royal
Letters Patent for the same, and made solemn Declaration that it is a
communication.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, do
hereby declare that the following Complete Specification, under my hand
and seal, fully describes and ascertains the nature of the Invention, and
the manner in which the same is to be performed, reference being had to.
the accompanying Drawings, and to the figures and letters marked
thereon, that is to say :—
The Invention communicated to me relates to a fixed spinning
machine for spinning wool, cotton, silk, and other fibrous materials, in
which, 1stly, the drawing and the twisting of the thread are alternatively
operated; 2ndly, the successive drawings take place by means of the
twisting produced by one or several series of tubes; 3rdly, the alternative
twisting and drawing are operated by one single spindle, which winds
and twists the thread, that is to say, without the help of any tube nor
contrivance whatever in order to give a fictitious or real twist in order
to operate the drawing.
These improvements are represented in the accompanying Drawing,
which shows a vertical sectional elevation of the several parts of a fixed
spinning machine constructed according to the said improvements.
A represents the frame of the machine; B represents a cylinder which
serves to work the spindles C; D is a cylinder which works the tubes
E; F is a cylinder which works the cop G loaded with the coarse
thread which is to be drawn; H are pulleys which serve to impart the
up motion to the piece I which supports the ring K with the cye L,
which serve to twist the thread and to form the bobbins. M are
cylinders which supply the thread for the draught as fast as it is
unwound from the cop G; N¹ and N³ are cylinders which work much
quicker than the cylinders M, and by means of which the first draught
is operated. The cylinders O. & O' work much quicker still, and
produce the second draught between themselves and the cylinders N¹
and N. Pare cylinders whose speed corresponds to the degreo of the
;

page_text: finenesse of the thread to be obtained, that is to say, the degree of the
draught of the thread which should be wound on the bobbin C is
determinated by the difference of the speed between them and the
cylinders M.
"
The required twisting of the draught is given by the tubes E. This
twisting is communicated to the cylinders M, but it is intermittent, that
is to say, that it is communicated between the cylinders O¹ and O', and
the cylinders M only at the moment when the arched grooves S, in the
cylinders N' and O' are found opposite the cylinders N' and O', which are
placed above them. When the arched grooves have passed their point
of contact with the cylinders which are placed above them, the draught
of the thread is operated by the said latter cylinders with the solid part
of the lower cylinders, to which a greater speed is imparted to that of the
preceeding cylinders. The draught or the difference of speed between
the cylinders N', N', and O' and O³, is obtained by the difference of the
diameter of the cylinders N' and O³, which are worked by gearing, and
which communicate the rotating motion to the cylinders N' and O³.
The width of the arched grooves in, the cylinders N' and O³ can vary
at will as well as the number, that is to say, that the curved part can be
much wider in order to communicate the twisting than the solid part
that draws; and that on the circomference of a cylinder there can be
also but one or several arched grooves. Thus, for example, in treating
certain materials two arched grooves, or in treating other materials three
arched grooves can be necessary.
The number of the drawing cylinders can also be diminished or
increased, that is to say, that only one arched grooved cylinder can be
used, and thus only one draught is operated, or several cylinders can be
used and several draughts operated.
An alternative motion can also be given to the cylinders M, to the
cylinder F, and to cop G, so that these cylinders can be stopped during
the draught.
The tubes E and the cylinders P can also be dispensed with, and the
draught can be operated by means of the twisting given to the thread by
the spindle in order to wind the said thread and to give the required
strength, but then all the cylinders M, N, N³, O', and O', should be
placed perpendicularly to the spindle.

page_text: Having thus described the nature of the said improvements, and the
manner of carrying them into effect, I would have it understood that I
do not confine myself, to the precise details above enumerated, as these
may obviously be modified without departing from the principle of the
Invention; but what I claim is,—
1stly. An alternative drawing and twisting fixed spinning machine, as
above described and represented in the accompanying Drawing.
2ndly. The application of several successive draughts to an alternative
drawing and twisting fixed spinning machine by means of a twisting
produced by one single or several series of tubes, as herein set forth.
.
3rdly. An alternative drawing and twisting fixed spinning machine
with on single spindle which winds and twists the thread, that is to
say, without the help of any tube nor any contrivance whatever in order
to give a fictitious or real twist in order to operate the drawing, as herein
set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, have.
hereto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-ninth day of
February, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred
and seventy-two.
