PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Spinning, Twisting, and Winding
Machinery.
I LAYCOCK HARGREAVES of Willow Cottage, Willows Lane, Accrington in
the County of Lancaster, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
to be as follows :-
.
· The object of my invention is to provide better facilities for oiling or lubricating
the spindles of spinning twisting, and winding machinery, also to prevent waste or
other refuse from clogging the spindles, besides effecting a great saving in labor
and lubricant.
Upon the bolster of the spindle I form a suitable flange upon which is a lug or
projection, upon the top of this lug or projection is the lubricating hole or recess
connected to an oiling channel or tube passing at an angle direct to the tube
spindle; at the other side of the aforesaid flange is pivotted the ordinary forked
bracket or spindle holder, to one end of which is cast or formed a suitable cap or
cover for the oiling tube.
When required to lubricate the spindle the said cover is raised allowing the
spindle to be lubricated, and when released falls of its own weight and forming an
effectual cover for the aforesaid tube.
Dated this Seventeenth day of August 1895.

Crossley Street, Halifax, Patent Agent for the Applicant.

page_text: Fig. 5 shows detached side elevation of pivoted forked bracked with extended
flange or cover.
Fig. 6 is a plan of Fig. 5.
Upon the bolster A of the spindle B, is the ordinary flange C, upon which is
cast or formed a lug or projection D, at the top end, but at the side of this lug or
projection is the lubricating mouth E of the channel or tube F, passing at an
angle direct to the tube spindle B, and its oil reservoir G in the base of the
bolster A.
At the other side of the aforesaid flange C is pivoted the ordinary forked
bracket H, carrying the stop or spindle holder J, to one end of the forked
bracket H is cast or formed a flange or cover K, for the end or mouth E of the oiling
passage F.
When required to lubricate the spindle, the said flange or cover K is raised,
allowing the spindle to be lubricated, and when released falls of its own weight,
and forms an effectual cover for the opening of the oil passage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it
understood that am aware that for supplying lubricant to the spindles and
their lubricating chambers, hollow arms and vertical posts have been used and
claimed in combination with openings at the top of the said vertical posts, with
springs or weighted covers pivoted on the top of such posts, and I do not use or
claim any such combination, but I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In the bolsters of spindles forming the lubricating channels at an angle or
incline in the lug or projection D, direct to the reservoir or chamber G, and with
its mouth or opening E, at the side of the said projection, and having the automatic
side cover K upon the pivoted forked bracket H which carries the stop J, as and
for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of a lubricating channel with its opening E at the side, and
its automatic cover formed upon the pivotted forked bracket H, (or its equivalent)
for the purposes shown and described.
Dated this Seventeenth day of October 1895.
