IMPROVEMENTS IN DRIVING SPINDLES OF SPINNING DOUBLING AND WINDING FRAMES
Year: 1884

page_text: I SAMUEL BROWN of Macclesfield in the County of Chester Silk Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN DRIVING
SPINDLES OF SPINNING DOUBLING AND WINDING FRAMES to be as follows:-
I place the Cylinder for driving the Spindles above or below the line of the
warves of the Spindles at any convenient distance and to guide the driving band
on to and off the Spindle warre 1 place behind the Spindles two pulleys for each
spindle over or under which-according as the Cylinder is above or below the line
of warve, the band is guided from the driving Cylinder on to and off the Spindle
warve I place these pulleys loose on a small shaft or rod running the whole
length of the frame or on a stud fixed to a bracket behind each spindle By this
means I get a long band to drive the spindle and where the carrying pulleys are
placed on the stud, a new band can be easily put on whilst the frame is running
and where the warve of the spindle is above the top rail, the band can be easily
changed to drive the spindle the reverse way.
Dated this eleventh day of January 1884.

page_text: I SAMUEL BROWN of Macclesfield in the County of Chester Silk Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN DRIVING
SPINDLES OF SPINNING DOUBLING AND WINDING FRAMES and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
I place the cylinder for driving the spindles at any convenient distance either
above or below the line of the spindle warves, 1 place behind each spindle two
guide pulleys over or under which-according as the cylinder is above or below
the line of the warve-the band is guided from the driving cylinder on to and off
the spindle warve. I place those guide pulleys loose on a shaft or rod running the
whole length of the frame carried by brackets fixed at convenient distances on the
spindle rail or other suitable parts of the framing or, I place them on a stud fixed
to n bracket behind each spindle fixed to the spindle rail or other suitable parts of
the framing, by this arrangement 1 get a long band to drive the spindles and when
the guide pulleys are placed on a stud a new band can be easily put on whilst the
frame is running and where the warve of the spindle is above the top spindle rail,
(such as in the Rabbeth and other spindles of a similar class) the band can be
easily changed to drive the spindle the reverse way.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1. is an elevation and Fig. 2. a plan, shewing
one side of a frame with the driving cylinder placed above the line of the spindle
warve, a, is the driving cylinder b, the spindle warve e, the spindle rail l the
bracket for carrying the shaft or stud c on which the guide or carrier pulleys j
run, g the spindle band-The cylinder a, will drive corresponding spindles on the
other side of the frame or two or more rows of spindles on each side of the frame
placed one above the other such as in silk twisting or spinning frames. In placing
two or more rows of spindles on each side of a frame the spindles on one side
should not be placed opposite those on the other side but a little to one side to give
the bands more clearance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the saine is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The placing of a cylinder for driving the spindles of frames for spinning
doubling and winding fibrous materials either above or below the line of the
spindle warves in combination with two guiding pulleys placed behind each
spindle either on a stud or shaft for guiding the driving band on and off the spindle
warve as described.
