JAMES GAMBLE of 61 Agnes Street, Belfast County of Antrim, Ireland Sheet
Metal Worker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This arrangement for retaining the lubricant on vertical spindles which have sliding
bearings is specially designed for roving spinning or twisting frames for flax jute and
other fibrous substances.
The object of this arrangement is to prevent the waste of oil which takes place in
vertical spindles which have sliding hearings by the lubricant running down the
spindle out of the collar or bearing.
This object is attained by attaching to the bottom of the collar or to one of its
retaining nuts a cup or box which surrounds the spindle, in this cup or box, layers
or rings of flannel sponge or other suitable absorbent material are placed so as to fit
the spindle, on the bottom of the collar or the lower retaining nut thereof are
projections which come in contact with the absorbent material and prevent it from
revolving with the spindle.
The spaces between these projections also form openings for admitting the surplus
lubricant into the annular space between the box or cup and the revolving spindle.
The absorbent material prevents the lubricant from being wasted by running down
the spindle and as the collar and its cup descend the spindle is cleaned and exposed
afresh to the lubricant contained in the annular space and the absorbent packing of
flannel or other suitable material.

Worker 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 arrangement for retaining the lubricant on vertical spindles which have sliding
bearings is specially designed for roving spinning or twisting frames for flax jute and
other fibrous substances.
The object of this arrangement is to prevent the waste of oil which takes place in
vertical spindles which have sliding bearings by the lubricant running down the
spindle out of the collar or bearing.
The means whereby this object is attained will be understood by referring to the
drawing herewith and the following description.
Fig. 1 is a section of the arrangement.
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the lower retaining nut.
Fig. 3 is a top view of the cup.
Attached to the bottom of the collar (c) or to one of its retaining nuts (b) is a cup
or box (a) which surrounds the spindle (d) in this cup or box (a) layers or rings of
flannel sponge or other suitable absorbent material (e) are placed so as to fit the
spindle (d) On the bottom of the collar (c) or the lower retaining nut (b) are
projections (6) which come in contact with the absorbent material (e) and prevent it
from revolving with the spindle (d).
The spaces between the projections (61) form openings for admitting the surplus
lubricant into the annular space between the box or cup (a) and the revolving
spindle (d).
The absorbent material (e) prevents the lubricant from being wasted by running
down the spindle (d) and as the collar (c) and its cup (a) descend the spinale (d) is
cleaned and exposed afresh to the lubricant contained in the annular space and the
absorbent packing (e) of flannel or other suitable material.
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
The arrangement described for retaining the lubricant on revolving vertical spindles
which have sliding bearings.
