Complete Specification Left. 18th May, 1892-Accepted, 18th June, 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flyers for Twisting Frames.
I, ABRAM COMBE, of Falls Foundry, Belfast, Ireland, Machinist do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to flyers of the class known as "open legged" and having
long collars as a supporting, and driving head, such flyers being described in the
Specification of Letters Patent No. 8018 granted the present applicant, and dated
the 1st day of June 1888.
The present invention is specially applicable to the larger size of flyers for
twisting frames, and is designed to construct both legs, and long collar in one
piece, and also the legs are of an improved section, or form.
In the manufacture of flyers of the class referred to, according to this my
present invention, I construct the flyer legs, and long collar of cast steel, cast all
in one piece, the legs being solid (instead of tubular as heretofore) and of T, or
trough like angular section. I prefer the T section as such affords the greatest
amount of strength to resist the various strains with the minimum amount of metal,
and also affords greatest facilities for casting.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flyers for Twisting Frames.
I, ABRAM COMBE, of Falls Foundry, Belfast, Ireland 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 flyers of the class known as " open legged" and having
long collars as a supporting and driving head such flyers being described in the
Specification of Letters Patent No. 8018 granted the present applicant, and dated
the 1st day of June 1888.
The present invention is specially applicable to the larger size of flyers for
twisting frames, and is designed to construct both legs and long collar in one
piece, and also the legs are of an improved section, or form.
In the manufacture of flyers of the class referred to, according to this my present
invention, I construct the flyer legs, and long collar of cast steel, or other suitable
metal, made all in one piece, the legs being solid (instead of tubular as heretofore)
and of a T or trough like angular section, I prefer a T section as such affords the
greatest amount of strength to resist the various strains with the minimum amount
of metal, and also affords the greatest facilities for casting.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a com-
plete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this Specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation partly in section, of as much of the flyer as is necessary
to shew the complete casting without its mountings, said mountings and their
separate functions being described and set forth in the Specification of Letters
Patent No. 8018 granted the present applicant and dated the 1st day of June
1888.
Fig. 2. is a side view partly in section of the flyer.

page_text: Fig. 4 is a section through the flyer legs on line A, B of Fig. 1 drawn on an
enlarged scale.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
The flyer proper consists of the legs 1 and the long collar or supporting and
driving end 2, of sufficient length to give steadiness to it and to afford space for
the requisite bearings 3, 3 and space for the pulleys or wheels which for driving
purposes are made fast to this collar 2.
This supporting collar or driving end 2 has a recess or hole
concentric to
itself extending through its whole length, and this recess or hole 4 may be "cored
out" in the casting or bored out afterwards to admit of an internal tube (not here
shewn) working freely within it.
The flyer legs 1, I preferably make of the section shewn in Fig. 4 such section
giving the greatest amount of strength to resist the various strains with the
minimum amount of metal and also affords (in this case wherein I cast the legs 1
and the supporting collar or driving end 2 all in one continuous piece) the greatest
facilities for casting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
my claim is :-
-
The improvements in open legged flyers wherein is comprised flyer legs and long
collar cast in one piece the legs of the flyer being solid and of section such as
shewn by Fig. 4 of drawings annexed thereto.
