I SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
"JACKS," OR APPARATUS FOR ENSURING DEFERENTIAL MOTION, ON SLUBBING, AND
ROVING FRAMES to be as follows:-
"
This invention consists, of an improved construction, and arrangement of
apparatus, for purpose aforesaid, the centrifugal action being obviated, or reduced
to a minimum.
According to this my invention, I construct on the driving shaft, a boss, this
forms a carrier, or bearing, for a cross shaft, on each end of which is secured, a
bevel wheel, one of the latter gears with a like wheel, on the main shaft, and driven
from the cone drums, the other bevel on the cross shaft, gears with a plate bevel,
that drives the bobbins.
The action is as follows:-On the driving shaft commencing to rotate, it carries
the boss, and cross shaft around, with it, and unless the wheels thereon, are by the
speed of the cones, allowed to revolve, around their own axis, or shaft, they drive
the plate wheel, that drives the bobbins, at the same speed as the driving shaft, but
as the cone drums, regulate the speed of the wheels on the cross shaft, the motion is
variable, in proportion to the speed of the driven cone.

Motion on Slubbing and Roving Frames.
I SAMUEL TWEEDALE, of Globe Works, Accrington; in the County of Lancaster,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
JACKS OR APPARATUS FOR ENSURING, DIFFERENTIAL MOTION ON SLUBBING AND
ROVING FRAMES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
"
This invention consists, of an improved construction, and arrangement of
apparatus for purpose aforesaid, the centrifugal action being obviated, or reduced
to a minimum.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved "Jack" drawing about full size.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same reduced scale.
Figs. 3. 4. 5 and 6 are parts detached in order to clearly illustrate the
construction thereof.
According to this my invention, I construct on the driving shaft 1, a boss 2,
this forms a carrier, or bearing, for a cross shaft 3, on the ends of which are
Becured the bevel wheels 4, 5, the wheel 5 gear with a like wheel 6 loose on the
main shaft 1 (see Fig. 5) and driven from the cone drums by wheel 7, the other
bevel 4 on the cross shaft 3 gears with a plate bevel 8 that drives the bobbins
through the agency of the wheel 9 and the ordinary swing wheels as is well
understood the intervening boss 10 being cast to the wheel 8, whilst the wheel 9
is by set screws 11 (see Fig. 1) secured to the boss 12-The part 13 is a cover or
guard cast to the wheel 8 or attached by set screws.
The action is as follows:-On the driving shaft 1 commencing to rotate, it
carries the boss 2, and cross shaft 3 around with it, and unless the wheels 4, 5
thereon are by the speed of the cones,' allowed to revolve, around there own axis or
shaft 3, they drive the plate bevel 8, that drives the bobbins at the same speed as
the driving shaft 1, but as the cone drums regulate the speed of the wheels 4, 5,
on the cross shaft 3, the motion is variable, in proportion to the speed of the
driven cone.
".
The wheel 7 will be of size according to the required working speed of the cone
and the proportions of the several wheels may be as follows:-Suppose for example
'the wheel 6 has 18 teeth, wheel 5 has 30, wheel 4 has 16 teeth, whilst wheel 8
has 48, 9 having 50, the ordinary wheel for driving the spindles should have one
fifth less teeth i.e. 40 teeth, because the wheels 6, 5, 4 and 8 are in proportion as
5 is to 1.
I do not confine the invention to any special relative number of teeth of the
several wheels as such may be varied according to requirement-and it will be
observed that the two kinds of the boss 2 are of different lengths and diameters

page_text: for the purpose of balancing its weight when rotating and likewise the distance of
the wheels 4 and 5 from the centre of the shaft 1 and their proportions are such as
to balance them whereby the centrifugal action is neutralized.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The combination of parts of the "Jack" constructed as herein described and as
illustrated by annexed drawings.
