Improvements in the Mountings of Rollers of Roving, Spinning, and
Twisting Frames.
I EDMUND TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of
Lancaster, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for which Letters Patent
No. 15823 were granted to the present applicant, dated 2nd day of November 1888,
and consists of such construction of parts as to enable the section of the neb to be
made much thinner than usual, and that the axial line of the roller is nearer level
with the surface of the neb, thereby affording less lodgement for loose fibre, and
facilitating removal of such fibres, and also a finger, and groove as hereinafter
described which affords an increased holding power whereby tendancy to lateral
movement, or "play" of the front nebs, when extended, is avoided, also affording
more room or space whereby the cap bar can be brought nearer the bottom roller,
and thereby the axial line of the axis of the top rollers as above mentioned is
brought nearly lineable with the top surface of the neb.
According to this my present invention I cast to the front top roller neb, a light
finger, or stem preferably of steel of three, or more sides (preferably four sides)
the angle of two sides being upwards forming a A there being a slot or longitudinal
groove cast, cut, or formed in the underside of the neb for the second roller, and
within which the angular finger or stem is received, and nearly flush therewith its
end passing under, and being tightly held by a nipping plate tapped, and threaded
so as to receive the threaded end of a screw, or screws passed through, and flush
with the top, or surface of that part of the cap bar carrying the second top roller,
so that on the said screw, or screws being slackened the neb, and its finger can be
drawn outwards, or adjusted to the required position, and when the screw, or screws
is, or are tightened the neb, and finger are firmly held in position.
Dated this 14th day of July 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Mountings of Rollers of Roving, Spinning, and
Twisting Frames.
I, EDMUND TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of
Lancaster, Manager, 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 apparatus for purpose aforesaid for
which Letters Patent No. 15823 were granted to the present applicant dated
2nd day of November 1888 and consists of such construction of parts as to enable the
section of the neb to be made much thinner than usual, and that the axial line of
the roller is nearer level with the surface of the neb, thereby affording less lodge-
ment for loose fibre, and facilitating removal of such fibres, and also a finger, and
groove as hereinafter described which affords an increased holding power whereby
tendancy to lateral movement, or "play" of the front nebs, when extended, is
avoided, also affording more room or space whereby the cap bar can be brought

page_text: nearer the bottom roller, and thereby the axial line of the axis of the top rollers as
above mentioned is brought nearly lineable with the top surface of the neb.
According to this my present invention I cast to the front top roller neb a light
finger, or stem preferably of steel of three, or more sides (preferably five sides)
the angle of two sides being upwards forming a A there being a slot or longitudinal
groove cast, cut, or formed in the underside of the neb for the second roller, and
within which the angular finger or stem is received and nearly flush therewith
passing under and being tightly held by a nipping plate tapped, and threaded so
as to receive the threaded end of a screw or screws passed through, and flush with
the top, or surface of that part of the cap bar carrying the second top roller so
that on the said screw or screws being slackened the neb and its finger can be
drawn outwards, or adjusted to the required position and when the screw or screws
is or are tightened the neb and finger are firmly held in position.
Such being the nature and object of my invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which.
Fig. 1 shews an end elevation of a portion of a roving, spinning, or twisting frame
having the top rollers mounted according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of bracket shaft, bracket finger and "nebs."
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3 but shewing the finger partly drawn out of the
longitudinal slot or groove.
Fig. 5 is an end sectional view on line A, B of Fig. 3.
The remaining figs. on Sheet 3 are details drawn detached.
According to this my present invention I cast to the front top roller neb 1, a
light finger, or stem 2 preferably of steel, of three or more sides (preferably five
sides) (see Fig. 5) the angle of two of the sides being upwards forming a there
being a slot or longitudinal groove 3 cast, cut, or formed in the underside of the
fixed or stationary neb 4 for the second top roller, and within which slot or groove 3
the angular finger or stem 2 is received, and lies nearly flush therewith and is
tightly held in position by a nipping plate 5 tapped, and threaded so as to receive
the threaded end of a screw 6 or screws passed through, and flush with the top, or
surface of that part of the cap bar or fixed neb 4 carrying the second top roller 7
so that on the said screw 6 or screws being slackened the neb 1 and its finger 2
can be drawn outwards or adjusted to the required position (see Fig. 4) and when
the screw 6 or screws is or are tightened the neb 1 and finger 2 are firmly held in
position to which set.
By the use of the appliances as above described the section of the neb may be
made much thinner and lighter than heretofore, and the axial line of the top
rollers brought nearer with the surface of the nebs and thus there is less lodgement
for loose fibres, and greater facility for clearing same and the finger in the groove
or slot as above described lateral movement of the nebs 1 when extended or drawn
out is effectually prevented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The nets 1 having angular faced fingers or stems 2 the corresponding longitu-
dinal slots or grooves 3 in the fixed or stationary nebs 4 and a nipper plate such
as 5 all in combination and as and for the purpose herein fully described and sub-
stantially as illustrated by drawings annexed.
