PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Spindles of Cap Spinning and Twisting
Frames.
I, WALTER GARNETT of the Firm of I. and 1. Calvert of Wainstalls, Warley
near Halifax in the County of York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention, to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is to reduce the friction of the tube upon the lifter
plate of cap spinning and twisting machinery, thereby effecting a great saving in
power.
Upon the tube spindle and above the lifter plate I preferably place a suitable
washer, resting upon this washer is a suitable spiral spring, I then place a second
washer over the said spring, so that when the tube carrying the cop or bobbin is
placed upon the spindle it rests or bears upon the top washer which by means of
the spiral spring offers a yielding resistance and so reduces the friction of such
tube to a minimum, thereby causing a great saving in power.
Or in place of the bottom washer I may encase the said spring in a small
cylinder or cup, and the top washer to work or slide within this cup, so preventing
the accumulation of dirt upon the spring which would effect its action, a lubricating
hole in the said washer may allow lubricant to be inserted, so facilitating better
lubrication to the spindle.

Improvements in the Spindles of Cap Spinning and Twisting
Frames.
I, WALTER GARNETT of the Firm of I. & I. Calvert of Wainstalls, Warley
Dear Halifax in the County of York, Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to reduce the friction of the tube upon the lifter
plate of cap spinning and twisting machinery, thereby effecting a great saving in
power.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. is a side elevation showing my improvements applied to cap spinning and
twisting frames.
Fig. 2. is a modification of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3. shows washers and spring as applied to Fig. 1. detached.
Fig. 4. is a plan of washer.
Fig. 5. is a sectional elevation of top washer and cup as applied to Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a plan of cup.
Upon the tube spindle A, and above the lifter plate B, I preferably place a
suitable washer C, resting upon this washer is a suitable spiral spring D, upon this
spring I place a second washer E.
[Price 8d.]

page_text: When the tube G carrying the cop or bobbin is mounted upon the spindle, it
rests or bears upon the top washer, which by means of the spiral spring offers a
yielding resistance, and so reduces the friction of such tul e to a minimum, thereby
causing a great saving in power.
In place of the bottom washer C see Figs. 3. 5 and i, I may encase the said
spring D in a small cylinder or cup F, and the top washer E may work or slide
within this cup according to the vibration; this cup pre ents the accumulation of
dirt upon the spring which would effect its action, a lu ricating hole in the said
washer may allow of lubricant to be inserted, so facilita ng better lubrication of
the spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
-claim is :-
1. In cap spinning and twisting machinery, the combination with the spindle A
of the washers C and E, and spring D, for the purposes substantially as herein
shown and described.
2. In cap spinning and twisting machinery, the combination with the spindle A
of washer E cup F, and spring D, for the purposes, substantially as herein shown
and described.
3. In cap spinning and twisting machinery, reducing the friction of the tube
upon the lifter plate, by means of springs, for the purposes, substantially as shown
and described.
