page_text: Improvements in or connected with the Spindles of Ring Frames
for Spinning and Doubling.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS and FREDERICK GEORGE GOODBEHERE, of the
Firm of Brooks and Doxey, of the Union Iron Works, West Gorton, Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Machine Makers, and WILLIAM HALL Cook, of the
Union Iron Works, aforesaid, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to that class of spindle known as or termed self con-
tained spindles which are employed upon ring spinning and doubling frames
and is designed to provide for a better and cheaper form of construction than that
which has hitherto been adopted.
It consists essentially in constructing the oil tube of a diameter for a part of
its length to fit inside the holder or bolster and for the remainder of its length
of such a diameter preferably equal to the external diameter of the holder or
bolster and securing the oil tube thereto by the same nut or coupling as that by
which the bolster is secured or locked to the rail.
In carrying out the invention we construct the spindle, the inner tube and the
bolster of the ordinary form, though preferably the bolster is made considerably
shorter.
The oil cup at its upper end is made to slide into the interior of the bolster
from below as hitherto, but at its lower end is made of considerably larger
diameter than the interior of the bolster preferably equal to the exterior of
bolster. The exterior of the lower part is provided with a screw thread which
screws up into the interior of the nut by which the bolster is affixed or locked
to the rail.
The nut may be the ordinary construction with a single thread through
the interior or it may be made with two threads, one part being of a greater
pitch than the other. Or where the exterior of the oil tube is less (or greater)
than of the bolster the nut is formed of two diameters internally so that the oil
tube can screw up into it. The nut may be made of any desired length to form
a sleeve or coupling to receive the enlarged end of the oil tube.
An oil tight joint is made between the bolster and oil tube by any suitable
means such as a shoulder with conical face, conical plug, knife edge on one part
abutting against a flat face or shoulder on the other part or by other suitable
means.

for Spinning and Doubling.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS and FREDERICK GEORGE GOODBEHERE, of the
Firm of Brooks and Doxey, of the Union Iron Works, West Gorton, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Machine Makers, and WILLIAM HALL COOK, of the
Union Iron Works, aforesaid, 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:-
-
This invention relates to that class of spindle known as or termed self con-
lained spindles which are employed upon ring spinning and doubling frames
and is designed to provide for a better and cheaper form of construction than that
which has hitherto been adopted.
It consists essentially in constructing the oil tube of a diameter for a part of
its length to fit inside the holder or bolster and for the remainder of its length
of such a diameter preferably equal to the external diameter of the holder or
bolster and securing the oil cup or tube thereto by the same nut or coupling as
that by which the bolster is secured or locked to the rail.
The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanying
drawings
Fig. 1. Side elevation of spindle with the bolster and oil tube in section.
Fig. 2. Sectional elevation of bolster and oil tube with spindle removed.
Fig. 3. Sectional elevation of bolster and oil tube with spindle removed show-
ing a modified arrangement or construction of coupling.
Fig. 4. Sectional elevation of nut showing another modification.
The spindle A the inner tube B and the bolster C are of any ordinary or suit-
able form but we prefer that the bolster C should be made considerably shorter
than has hitherto been the case and the bolster is secured in position to the rail
by the nut E.
The oil cup or tube D is made with an upper end or prolongation d to slide
up into the interior of the bolster as hitherto."
The lower end of the oil cup 1) we make of considerably greater diameter
than the interior of the bolster ( forming a shoulder which abuts against the
lower edge of the bolster the external diameter of the oil cup being preferably
equal to that of the bolster. The exterior of the oil cup D is provided with a
serew thread which screws up into the interior of the nut E by which the bolster
is affixed or locked to the rail. Thus the one nut E secures both the bolster in
position in the rail and the oil cup in position in the lower end of the bolster.
The nut E is preferably of ordinary construction and the screw thread on the
oil cup D is preferably of the same size and pitch as the thread of the bolster
as in Figs. 1 and 2.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the oil cup D and the lower half or part
of the nut E are made with a quick pitch thread.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the interior of the nut is made of two
diameters the upper part which engages the bolster being greater than the lower
part which engages the oil cup. In another modification the oil cup may be of
greater diameter than the bolster in which case a similar nut would be used but
reversed.
The nut E may be made of any desired length to form a sleeve or coupling
to receive the enlarged end of the oil cup D.
An oil tight joint is made between the lower edge of the bolster C and oil

page_text: cup D by any suitable means such as a shoulder with conical face, conical plug
knife edge on the part abutting against a flat face or shoulder on the other part
or by other suitable means.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. A spindle or spindle holder for ring frames for spinning or doubling con-
structed with an oil cup formed of an external diameter at its lower part greater
than the interior of the bolster with a shoulder to abut against the lower edge
of the bolster and a screw thread to screw into the nut by which the bolster is
secured or locked to the rail substantially as described.
2. A spindle or spindle holder for ring frames for spinning or doubling having
the several parts constructed and arranged in combination substantially as
described and shown with reference to either of the figs. of the drawings.
