Improvements in Cone Driving Apparatus used in Slubbing, Inter-
mediate, and Roving Frames, and other Machines.
We SAMUEL DYSON of 50 Mitchell Street Rochdale Carder, and JAMES
ECKERSLEY of 2 Bamford Road Heywood Mechanic both in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The principal object of this invention is to ensure the simultaneous starting and
stopping of the rollers and bobbins in the above named frames, but the same may
be applied to other apparatus driven by a strap and two reversed cones..
In the above named frames, as at present driven, many breakages and irre-
gularities in the thickness of the yarn occur, and also curling and snarling of the
same, owing to the bobbins stopping after the rollers and starting after them.
It is well known also to the spinners that with the ordinary cones it is necessary
to keep the cone strap very tight, which causes the strap to wear very quickly and
frequently require repairs; and also owing to the increased friction a great
quantity of oil is used for the bearing of the cone pulley shafts. Another
disadvantage is that the frame "tenter" is frequently compelled either to tighten
or slacken out the cone strap while the frame is running and if this is not done
carefully very imperfect work results.
Our invention consists in forming grooves slots or furrows along the surface of
the cones at the smaller end thereof and extending along the cones say for about a
foot, or one third of their length.
We prefer to cut these grooves slots or furrows not quite parallel with the axial
line of the cones but at an angle thereto, so that the grooving tool will leave the
cone owing to rotundity of the latter at the desired point along the surface of the
same.
We then form a series of rows of perforations or indentations in the cone upon
the remaining part thereof.
By these means the strap will have a more perfect grip upon the cones especially
at the smaller diameters where most needed, and there will be little or no danger
of the rollers stopping and starting before the bobbins.

SAMUEL DYSON, Carder, 50 Mitchell Street Rochdale Lancashire JAMES
ECKERSLEY, Mill Mechanic, 2 Bamford Road Heywood Lancashire 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:-
The invention in cone driving apparatus used in slubbing, intermediate, and

page_text: roving frames and other machines, which we claim consists of the cones used in
these machines being fluted and indented on their outside surfaces the fluting being
cut in longitudionally from the thin end of cones. The indented portion of the
cones vary in distance from half inch to one inch and one inch and a half. This
invention is of such a nature that it can be applied to all existing cones belonging
to the aforementioned and other machines, and does not affect the diameter or
length of the cones.
The invention in cone driving apparatus used in slubbing, intermediate, and
roving frames, and other machines, which we claim consists of; the flutings C, on
cones A & B, as per drawing, such flutings being cut in, obliquely, from the thin
end to the surface centre, and straight, from the centre to the thick end. The
channels of such flutings are a passage for the escape of air, and in the end
elevation the flutings C, are continued completely round the drum, as shown in the
drawing.
The indentions on cones A & B, such indentions being cut on the surface,
from the thick end to centre of conès.
Reference for duaine
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;
1st. That the flutings C, on cones A & B, as per drawing, is our novelty, and
constitutes a passage for the escape of the air, which is set up at the point of
contact, between strap and cone, when in motion. The flutings are cut in from
the thin end to the surface centre, obliquely, and from the centre to the thick end,
straight.
.
2nd. That the indentions D, on cones A & B, is also our novelty, and are cut in
on the surface, from the thick end to centre of cones.
