IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GUIDE BOARDS OF FRAMES FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING to be as follows:-
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN HENRY CLAPHAM, of 46 Thompson Street, Shipley, in the County of
York, Spinuing Manager do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GUIDE BOARDS OF FRAMES FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING
to be as follows:-
"
My invention relates to improvements in the guide boards of spinning frames
whoreby the breakage and displacement of the porcelain or glass eyes or guides
through which the yarn passes are prevented.
To carry out my invention I fix to the underside of the guide board thin discs of
sheet steel or other metal, which discs have a hole in the centre corresponding with
the hole of the porcelain or glass eye or guide, and a narrow slit extending from
the hole in the centre to the outside diameter of the disc, such slit being placed
under a corresponding slit in the guide-board and which is for the purpose of
allowing the yarn to be placed in position in the guides or eyes without having to
be threaded through the same.
The said metallic discs fixed to the underside of the guide board are for the
purpose of protecting the bottoms of the porcelain or glass eyes or guides from
blows which they might receive when caps are being removed or replaced or from
other causes thereby preventing damage or breakage.
Instead of the small detached discs of sheet metal hereinbefore described I may
use a long strip of thin metal, running the whole length of the guide board, or of
each section of such guide board with holes therein under the holes in the guides
or eyes, and with slits to come under and correspond with the slits in the guide
board for receiving the yarn.

I JOHN HENRY CLAPHAM, of 46 Thompson Street, Shipley in the County of
York, Spinning Manager do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GUIDE BOARDS OF FRAMES FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
· My invention relates to improvements in the guide boards of spinning frames
whereby the breakage and displacement of the porcelain or glass eyes or guides
known as pot eyes through which the yarn passes are prevented.
To carry out any invention I fix to the underside of the guide board thin discs of
sheet steel or other metal, which discs have a hole in the centre corresponding with
the hole of the porcelain or glass eye or guide, and a narrow slit extending from
the hole in the centre .to the outside diameter of the disc, such slit being placed
under a corresponding slit in the guide board and which is for the purpose of
allowing the yarn to be placed in position in the guides or eyes without having to
be threaded through the same.
The said metallic discs fixed to the underside of the guide board are for the
purpose of protecting the bottoms of the porcelain or glass eyes or guides from
blows which they might receive when caps are being removed or replaced or from
other causes thereby preventing damage or breakage.
Instead of the small detached discs of sheet metal hereinbofore described I may
use a long strip of thin metal running the whole length of the guide board or of
each section of such guide board with holes therein under the holos in the guides
or eyes, and with slits to come under and correspond with the slits in the guide
board for receiving the yarn.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 represents
a view of the under side of a guide board with the metal discs fixed to protect
the "pot eyes" or earthenware guides through which the yarn passes. Figure 2 is
a sectional elevation of the same and Figure 3 shews the under side of a guide-
board with a long strip of metal attached in place of the discs herein before
referred to,
In Figures 1 and 2 the guide board is shewn at A; and B represents the metal
discs fixed at the underside of the guide-board to protect the pot-eyes or earthen-
ware guides C from blows which might be given by the spinning-caps when lifted
off the spindles.
In Figure 3 the long narrow slip of metal D is made use of instead of the discs
of sheet metal; like the discs, it has perforations corresponding with the holes
through the centre of the pot eyes and also slits at the sides for the yarn to be
placed in.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
»
The use of discs or small plates or strips of thin metal as described for the
purpose of protecting or preserving the "pot eyes or earthenware guides in the
guide-boards of spinning frames from breakage substantially as hereinbefore
described and represented in the accompanying drawing.
