PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Yarn Sizing Machines.
We, WILLIAM ROSSETTER, of 78 Hughton Terrace, Blackburn, in the County
of Lancaster, Engineer, and JAMES BRIGGS, of Newfield House, Lower Darwen,
Blackburn aforesaid, Gentleınan, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to machines for sizing yarn, and the object of our invention
is to reduce the friction on the journals of the drying cylinder and thereby improve
the working of the machine.
In carrying our invention into effect we employ ball bearings applied in any
convenient and suitable manner for the journals of the drying cylinder. In one
instance we make the stand for the hollow pipe which forms the journal of the,
cylinder with a flange surrounding the journal bearing and inside this flange, we
fit an angle ring through a hole in which the journal passes without coming in
contact either with the angle ring or with the stand. To the journal of the cylinder
outside the angle ring is fitted and secured by a set screw or otherwise a collar, the
inner edge of which is turned or shaped so that it, with a similar prepared surface
on the inside of the angle ring, forms an annular space in which are placed a number
of balls of metal or other hard material and these balls form a ball bearing for the
cylinder journal.

The angle ring might be dispensed with and the interior of the flange on the
journal stand turned so that it with the fixed collar would carry the balls.
As an alternative the journal stand could be prepared to carry two short studs,
placed parallel with but below and on each side of the cylinder journal'; on each
stud is mounted a pair of collars or washers, one fast and one adjustable; these
collars are shaped on their inner faces and a third collar or flanged ring is placed
centrally between them and resting upon two series of balls placed in the annular
spaces between the central and end collars.
The end adjustment for the ball bearings is made by a screwed nut on each stud
which bears against the adjustable end collar.

We, WILLIAM ROSSETTER, of 78 Highton Terrace, Blackburn, in the County,
of Lancaster, Engineer, and JAMES BRIGGS, of Newfield House, Lower Darwen,
in the said County, 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:—
Our invention relates to machines for sizing yarn, and the object of our invention

page_text: is to reduce the friction on the journals of the drying cylinder and thereby improve
the working of the machine.
In carrying our invention into effect we employ ball bearings applied in any
convenient and suitable manner for the journals of the drying cylinder. In one
instance we make the stand for the hollow pipe which forms the journal of the
cylinder with a flange surrounding the journal bearing and inside this flange we fit
an angle ring through a hole in which the journal passes without coming in contact
either with the angle ring or with the stand. To the journal of the cylinder outside
the angle ring is fitted and secured by a set screw or otherwise a collar, the inner
edge of which is turned or shaped so that it, with a similar prepared surface on the
inside of the angle ring, forms an annular space in which are placed a number of
balls of metal or other hard material and these balls form a ball bearing for the
cylinder journal.
The angle ring might be dispensed with and the interior of the flange on the
journal stand turned so that it with the fixed collar would carry the balls.
As an alternative the journal stand could be prepared to carry two short studs,
placed parallel with but below and on each side of the cylinder journal; on each
stud is mounted a pair of collars or washers, one fast and one adjustable, these
collars are shaped on their inner faces and a third collar or flanged ring is placed
centrally between them and resting upon two series of balls placed in the annular
*paces between the central and end collars.
The end adjustment for the ball bearings is made by a screwed nut on each stud
which bears against the adjustable end collar.
And in order that our invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect we will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of part of a yarn sizing machine to which our
improvements are applied.
Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of part of Fig. 1.
Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views on an enlarged scale of one of the journal bearings
of the large drying cylinder and
Figs. 5 and 6 are similar views respectively of one of the journal bearings of the
smaller drying cylinder.
In the drawings,-
,-a indicates the large and b the small drying cylinder,
c designates the frame of the machine to which are secured the brackets or
stands d and e for the journals a¹ and of the large and small cylinders
respectively.
In the stand d is fixed by means of a nipping screw or other deivce not shown
the angle ring through which and the stand d the journal a¹ of the large
cylinder a passes without touching. On the journal a is fixed adjustably by
set screws 9 or other means the shaped collar h and in the annular space between
the angle ring fand collar h are the series of balls i which form a bearing for the
journal a'. A similar device, not shown, is applied to the corresponding journal on
the other side of the cylinder a.
The journals 6 of the small cylinder 6 may also be fitted with similarly arranged
ball bearings, or they may bave the alternative arrangement shown in which case
each journal is supported upon two rollers made up as follows:-
In recesses in the stand e are placed and fitted two square headed studs k
paralled with but below and on each side of the journal . On each stud k is a
fixed collar k¹ between which and a nut screwed on the stud are placed two
washers m, n, and a flanged ring o.
The inner faces of the washers m, n, are
grooved or shaped as shown and in the annular spaces thus formed between the
washers and the flanged ring o are placed two series of balle i. Consequently the
weight of the cylinder b, the journals b' of which bear on the flanged rings o, is
supported by the two series of balls.i. upon which the rings o rest.
It will be obvious that this alternative arrangement of ball bearings is equally
applicable to the journals a' of the large cylinder a.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
In a yarn sizing machine the arrangement use and application of ball bearings in
connection with the journals of the drying cylinder or cylinders substantially as
herein set forth.
