PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Drawing-up Motion of Spinning Mules
and Twiners.
I, JONATHAN HARGREAVES, of 27, Lodge Road, Hindsford, near Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Mill Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the mechanism used for putting out of and into gear the
drawing-up cone dish; and my object is to dispense with the long hanging lever
and link usually employed at present for raising the lever to which the said cone
dish is connected.
According to my invention I fix or form on the end of this last named lever,
known as the drawing up lever, a projecting arm provided at its lower end with a
bowl or pin. The upper part of this projecting arm is inclined slightly from the
centre of the lever, and is preferably prolonged upwards and terminates with a
suitable hook or the like at the end.
I fit a suitable incline on the carriage square and a bowl or pin on the long
lever, in such positions that when the carriage has almost run in the incline
thereon comes against the bowl or pin at the lower end of the projection on the
drawing up lever and raises the bowl or pin and the lever thereby lifting the draw-
ing up cone dish out of action. The peg or bowl on the long lever then rises when
the corresponding end of the lever is raised and comes in contact with the out-
wardly inclined part of the projecting arm and thus prevents the drawing up
lever from falling until the carriage has run out and released the drawing up
lever. The long lever falls and the drawing up cone dish is allowed to fall into
action to draw in the carriage.
If it should be required to stop the carriage at any part of its inward run, a small
catch immediately beneath the hook at the upper end of the arm projecting from
the drawing up lever can be raised by a convenient handle, and lift the drawing-up
lever and the cone dish.

I, JONATHAN HARGREAVES, formerly of 27, Lodge Road, Hindsford, now of
41, Upper George Street, Tyldesley, in the County of Lancaster, Mill Manager,

page_text: 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 follow-
ing statement:―
This invention relates to the mechanism used for putting out of and into gear
the drawing-up cone dish; and my object is to dispense with the long hanging
lever and link usually employed at present for raising the lever to which the said
cone dish is connected.
The annexed drawing shows a side elevation of so much of a spinning mule as
is necessary to illustrate my invention. a is the drawing up cone dish and b is
the lever to which it is connected.
According to my invention I fix or form on the end of this last named lever b,
known as the drawing up lever, a projecting arm 6 provided at its lower end with
a bowl or pin b³.
The upper part of this projecting arm b¹ or a part fixed to the lever bis inclined
slightly outwards from the centre of the lever as seen at 3 and is preferably pro-
longed upwards and terminates with a suitable hook or the like, at the end.
I fit a suitable incline on the carriage square c and a bowl or pin d on the
long lever e, in such positions that when the carriage has almost run in, the
incline thereon comes against the bowl or pin 62 at the lower end of the pro-
jection 6 on the drawing up lever 6 and raises the bowl or pin 62 and the lever b,
thereby lifting the drawing up cone dish a out of action. The peg or bowl d on
the long levere then rises, when the corresponding end of the lever is raised, and
comes in contact with the outwardly inclined part 63 of the projecting arm, and
thus prevents the drawing up lever b from falling until the carriage has run out
and released the drawing up lever 6. The long lever e falls and the drawing up
cone dish a is allowed to fall into action to draw in the carriage c, as usual.
If it should be required to stop the carriage c at any part of its inward run, a
small finger or catch f immediately beneath the hook at the upper end of the
arm projecting from the drawing up lever b can be raised by a convenient handle,
say the stop rod handle and lift the drawing-up lever b and the cone dish a.
The lever bis or may be provided with a hanging safety catch resting on the
backing off rod whilst the carriage is running out, the said catch being useful in
case the stud d happens to fail to keep the lever b raised. This catch however
forms no part of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. Fitting to or forming with the drawing up lever a bowl or pin acted on by
an incline on the carriage square, and an incline supported by a pin or howl on
the long lever, substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.
2. The combination with a drawing up lever formed and worked as above
described, of a hook on the said lever and a suitable finger or catch and handle
for stopping the carriage at any part of its inward run, substantially as herein-
before described.
