County of Derby, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF RING SPINNING AND DOUBLING FRAMES.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Young and Edwin
Furniss at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 24th April 1883.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF RING SPINNING AND DOUBLING
FRAMES
"
This invention relates to improvements upon the subject matter of Letters
Patent granted to us bearing date the 9th day of December 1882 N° 5874.
The object of our present invention is to afford greater facility for doffing the
bobbins piecing the thread when broken and adjusting the spindles, than can be
attained when using the split ring constructed as described in the Specification of,
the above mentioned Letters Patent.
The invention consists in making the split ring in two parts (of a semi-circular
form or nearly Bo) hinged together, or both hinged to the same piece so that the
two halves can be opened out when required so as not to interfere in any way
with the doffing of the bobbins, or the piecing of the thread when broken, or with
the operation of adjusting the spindles when necessary and can be closed so that
their ends overlap so as to form a complete split ring when required for use.
These hinged split rings may be mounted in any convenient manner so as to be
adjustable both in a longitudinal and a transverse direction, and the hinge may
either be made with a stiff joint or provided with a spring or springs, which will
hold either one or both of the halves of the ring in the open or closed position
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed
by the said John Young and Edwin Furniss in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 23rd October 1883.

OF
RING-SPINNING AND DOUBLING
This invention relates to improvements upon the subject matter of Lettera
Patent granted to us bearing date the 9th day of December A.D. 1882 N° 5874.

page_text: The object of our present invention is to afford greater facility for doffing the
bobbins, piecing the thread when broken, and adjusting the spindles, than can be
attained when using the split ring constructed as described in the Specification of
the above mentioned Letters Patent.
The invention consists in making the split ring in two parts (of a semicircular
form or nearly so) hinged together, or both hinged to the same piece, so that the
two halves can be opened out when required..so as not to interfere in any way
with the doffing of the bobbins or the piecing of the thread when broken, or with
the operation of adjusting the spindles when necessary, and can be closed so that
their ends overlap so as to form a complete split ring when required for use.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention we will now proceed to
describe more in detail the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed
or carried into practical effect and in order that the same may be clearly understood
we have annexed hereunto a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof and have
marked the same with figures and letters of reference corresponding with those in
the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. is a plan view of one of our improved split rings showing by the dotted
lines the position of the ring when opened out, and
Fig. 2. is a side view of the same.
Figs 3 and 4 show respectively similar views of a modification of our improved
split ring.
It it will be seen from Figs 1. 2. 3 and 4. that the two halves a, a' of the split
ring are hinged to a rail b, b which may be mounted in adjustable bearings so
that they may be adjusted in any direction and they inay be made with a stiff
joint or provided with a spring or springs c, c¹ (see Figs 1 and 2) which will hold
either one or both of the halves of the ring in the opened or closed position.
The most convenient method of applying this spring is shown on the drawing.
The spring is split at one end into two parts c, c' each bearing upon one half of the
ring a, a¹
1.
.
Figs 3 and 4 show a stiff Jointed ring and in this case we prefer that only one
of the halves (say a¹, a¹) should be movable, the two halves being rebated and
provided with shoulders at the hinge so as to limit the opening out and closing of
the half a³, a¹.
Having now described the nature and object of our said invention, together
with the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed or carried into
practical effect we wish it to be understood that we claim as our invention.
Making the split rings above referred to in two parts either hinged together, or
both hinged to one piece, or with one fixed, so that one or both of them can be
opened out when required substantially in the manner and for the purposes
herein before set forth.
In witness whereof we the said John Young and Edwin Furniss have hereunto
set our hands and seals this twentieth day of October in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
