I SAMUEL TWEEDALE of Globe Works Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR OPERATING OR MOVING THE GUIDE RAILS AND GUIDE WIRES
OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING FIBRES to be as follows:-
"
This invention consists, of a combination of thread guide rail or carrier, having
projecting, lifting, or depressing finger, and a longitudinal bar and connections for
carrying and operating the said bar so as simultaneously to raise, the whole of the
thread guides and their carriers, clear of the bobbins and spindles previously to
doffing.
The carriers or supports of the thread guides, are hinged upon a longitudinal
rail, at intervals of the length of the latter, and fixed thereto, are studs, on each of
which, one end of a link is received, the other and upper end of each link, is
attached to a light bar extending above and along the whole of the projecting
fingers, of the thread wire carriers, so that when the said bar, is by hand, or lever,
operated, it moves after the manner of a parallel ruler, bearing down upon the
projecting fingers of the several thread guide carriers, depressing, tilting, or raising
the same clear of the doffing and when the rail is returned to its original position,
the thread guide carriers, by gravitation resume the working position, or the said
lifting or tilting rail may be applied under the thread guide carriers or supports so
as to lift the same by direct action.

Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR OPERATING OR MOVING THE GUIDE RAILS AND GUIDE WIRES
OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING FIBRES" and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This invention consists, of a combination of thread guide rail, or carrier, having
projecting, lifting, or depressing finger, and a longitudinal bar, and connections, for
carrying and operating the said bar, so as simultaneously to raise the whole of the
thread guides, and their carriers, clear of the bobbins, and spindles, previously to
doffing.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of part of roller beam having my improvements
applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof partly in section.
The carriers or supports 1 of the thread guides 2, are hinged upon the longi-
tudinal rail, 3-At intervals of the length of the latter and fixed thereto, are
studs 4, on each of which, one end of a link 5 is received, the other and upper
end 6 of each link 5, is attached to a light bar 7, extending above and along the
whole of the projecting fingers 8 of, the thread wire carriers 1 so that when the
bar 7 is by hand or lever link stud and lever 9 operated it moves after the manner
of a parallel ruler, and bearing down upon the projecting fingers 8 of the several
thread guide carriers 1, tilts or raises the same clear of the dofting, and when the
rails 7 is returned to its original position, the thread guide carriers 1 by gravitation
resume the working position or the said lifting or tilting rail may be applied
under the thread guide carriers or supports so as to lift the same by direct lifting
action.
It will be obvious that if the rail 7 be a fixture, and the rail 3, and thread
carriers 1 be raised, so as to bring the projecting fingers 8 in contact therewith
the latter will be tilted over as described but I prefer to operate by the moving
rail 7 as described.

page_text: 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. The thread carriers 1 having projecting fingers 8 for operating the said guide
as herein described.
2. The thread carrier 1, projecting finger 8, and operating rail such as 7 as
herein described and illustrated.
