Improvements in Ring-spinning and Ring-doubling Machines for
Spinning and Doubling Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
1 ROGER TATHAM of Moss Lane Iron Works, Moss Lane, Rochdale in the county
of Lancaster, Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to ring-spinning and ring-doubling machines for spinning and
doubling cotton and other fibrous materials and has for its object the production of a
better yarn than it has hitherto been possible to produce by ring-spinning and ring-
doubling machines.
In accomplishing the object of my invention I place the rollers from which the
sliver or yarn being spun or doubled passes to the travellers, much further from
or above the spindles than such rollers have hitherto been placed. By so doing
I am enabled to employ in spinning or doubling a yarn or thread of any "count"
a heavier traveller than it has hitherto been possible to employ in spinning or
doubling a yarn or thread of such "count" and also to obtain a more uniform tension
upon the yarn or thread while such yarn or thread is being spun or doubled than
has hitherto been possible.
My invention is particularly applicable to such ring-spinning and ring-doubling
machines as wind the yarn or thread spun or doubled upon "the bare spindle" or
upon a paper tube but my invention may be applied with equal advantage to ring-
spinning and ring-doubling machines in which the yarn or thread spun or doubled
is wound upon a bobbin or pirn.

Spinning and Doubling Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
J ROGER TATHAM of Moss Lane Iron Works, Moss Lane, Rochdale in the county
of Lancaster Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to ring-spinning and ring-doubling machines for spinning and
doubling cotton and other fibrous materials and has for its object the production of a
better yarn than it has hitherto been possible to produce by ring-spinning and ring-
doubling machines.
"
In accomplishing the object of my invention I place the rollers from which the
sliver or yarn being spun or doubled passes to the travellers much further from or
above the spindles than such rollers have hitherto been placed. By so doing I am
enabled to employ in spinning or doubling a yarn or thread of any
" count a lieavier
traveller than it has hitherto been possible to employ in spinning or doubling a yarn
or of such count and also to obtain a more uniform tension upon the yarn or
thread while such yarn or thread is being spun or doubled than has hitherto been
possible.
"
My invention is particularly applicable to such ring-spinning and ring-doubling
machines as wind the yarn or thread spun or doubled upon "the bare spindle" or
upon a paper "tube" but my invention may be applied with equal advantage to ring-
spinning and ring-doubling machines in which the yarn or thread spun or doubled is
wound upon a bobbin or pirn.
The drawing hereunto annexed illustrates a method of carrying my invention into
effect Fig. 1 being an end elevation of so much of a ring-spinning or ring-doubling
machine as is necessary to illustrate my invention and Fig. 2 a view showing a
portion of that which is shown in Fig 1, in a position at right angles to that in which
it is shown in Fig. 1. The same letters of reference are applied to corresponding
parts in both of the figures. a is the roller-beam upon which is mounted the stand b
which stand b is secured to the roller-beam a by means of the bolts c. Secured to the
stand by means of the bolts d is the slide e. The axle of the front-roller
carried by the stand b. The axles f,f of the rollers g', g² are carried by the slide. e.
The axles f, ff of the rollers g³, 9, 9 are carried by the "cap-bar" e¹ which is
jointed to the slide e at e³. h is a spindle supported by the bolster or bearing i upon
the spindle-rail j. k is the ring-rail in which are mounted the rings l. The roller-
beam a and spindle-rail j are supported by the end-frames m one only of which is
shown in the drawing.
is
The yarn or thread being spun or doubled passes from the rollers g, g³ through the
guiden and thence through the traveller o to the spindle h. By placing the
rollers g, g³ much further from or above the spindle h than such rollers have hitherto
been placed I am enabled to impart a more uniform "twist" to the yarn or thread

page_text: being spun or doubled, the length of yarn or thread between the spindle h and the
rollers g, permitting the "twist" to be more equally distributed than when a shorter
length of yarn or thread is as heretofore, between the spindle and the rollers.
My invention also by enabling a heavier traveller to be employed in spinning or
doubling yarn or thread of a given "count" than has hitherto been possible enables
the tendency of the yarn or thread to "ballooning" to be reduced.
Although I have in the drawing hereunto annexed shown at each side of the
machine but one set of rollers g g', g³, g³, g', g', one guide n, one spindle 7, one ring 1
and one traveller o it will be understood that as many rollers, guides, spindles, rings
and travellers as may be necessary are employed at each side of the machine.
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
The hereinbefore described improvements in ring-spinning and ring-doubling
machines for spinning and doubling cotton and other fibrous materials which
improvements consist in the arrangement of the rollers g, 93 in relation to the
spindles substantially as hereinbefore described in reference to and indicated in
and by the drawing hereunto annexed and for the purposes hereinbefore referred to.
