Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Winding Yarns or
Threads.
We GEORGE HENRY HOLDEN of Carr Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist and JOHN ASHWORTH of the same place Manager for the above
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to machinery or apparatus for winding yarns or threads.
Our invention consists firstly in arrangements of apparatus whereby the rotation
of a bobbin or spool is stopped when a yarn or thread or yarns or threads being
wound upon such bobbin or spool becomes or become broken or absent.
In carrying this part of our invention into effect we mount upon rails extending
lengthwise of the machine a bracket jointed to which is a cradle or frame in which
is mounted the bobbin or spool upon which yarn or thread is to be wound by being in
contact with the circumference of a revolving winding drum or pulley. Hinged
upon the same centre as the cradle or frame is an arm to one end of which arm is
jointed the upper end of a rod which passes through a hole or guide formed in the
bracket above referred to. To the cradle or frame before mentioned we secure one
end of a cord or chain which we pass beneath a pulley or bowl mounted upon a stud
formed upon or secured to the rod before referred to then over a pulley secured to
the framework of the machine and provided at its end with a weight suspended thereon.
Upon the bar above referred to we form a catch above which at times passes a bar
forced in one direction by a spring. Passing through one end of the said bar are the
drop" wires or other suitable equivalents therefor of any suitable "detector
mechanism" which upon the breakage or absence of a thread will by passing into
the path of a revolving or oscillating ratchet or wiper cause the bar above mentioned
to be drawn clear of the catch upon the rod.
66
When a yarn or thread or yarns or threads is or are being wound the weight above
referred to will tend to keep the bobbin in contact with the driving drum or pulley,
but upon a yarn or thread or yarns or threads becoming broken or absent the bar
above mentioned will be moved clear of the catch or projection upon the rod which
will then be at liberty to be raised by the weight so as to bring a brake surface on
the top of the rod in contact with the bobbin or spool and thereby remove the
bobbin or spool from the winding drum or pulley and stop the rotation of the bobbin
or spool.
"
"
On the bar above mentioned we form an incline which when the said bar ascends
carries the ends of the fallen detector wires or equivalents therefor clear of the
revolving or oscillating ratchet or wiper. In order that the end or ends of the
broken or absent yarn or thread or yarns or threads may be readily found we support
the bobbin cradle by means of a "setting on arm provided with a catch which
"setting on arm is jointed to the arm jointed to the rod before mentioned. The
said "setting on
arm is provided with a jaw which embraces a pin fast upon the
arm upon which it is carried, such pin and jaw limiting the amount of motion of
the said "setting on arm. After the yarn or thread has been pieced the attendant
first moves the "setting on arm so that the catch thereon will no longer support
the bobbin cradle or frame and then pushes down the "setting on" arm until the
catch thereon passes below the sliding bar above referred to thereby moving the brake
surface clear of the bobbin or spool and allowing the bobbin or spool or the yarn
or thread wound thereon to come into contact with the driving drum or pulley.
The descent of the above mentioned rod will move the incline thereon so as to cause
"

normal position.
We would have it understood that machines constructed according to this part of
our invention may be constructed to wind yarn or thread upon any number of
bobbins or spools.
A further part of our invention relates to the traverse motion of winding frames
and consists in arrangements of apparatus whereby we so distribute the yarn
or thread upon the bobbins or spools that it may he readily unwound therefrom.
a
According to this part of our invention we mount upon a stud fixed to the
framework of the machine an arm capable of being rotated upon the said stud.
Fast with the arm previously mentioned is a wheel which by means of a worm or
bevel wheels or gearing or other suitable means receives rotary motion from any
convenient part of the machine. Secured to the said arm is a stud mounted upon
which and free to be rotated thereon is a wheel from one face of which projects
crank-pin. The wheel upon the arm above mentioned gears into a wheel fast upon
the stud before referred to upon which the said arm turns. The crank-pin above
mentioned may pass into a slot formed in a lever which is capable of being oscillated
upon a stud fixed to the framework of the machine and is connected to the traverse
rail" or
traverse rails" of the machine and employed for guiding the yarn or thread
upon the bobbins or spools, or the said crank pin may be connected directly to the
"traverse rail" or "traverse rails" which arrangement is particularly applicable.
when a "
quick traverse is desired. When the arm above mentioned is caused to
rotate, the wheel mounted upon the said arm will by being carried round the fixed
wheel before referred to, be rotated so that while the crank-pin is turning round
the stud upon the arm, such crank-pin is also being turned round the stud upon
which the arm above mentioned is mounted. We cause the wheels upon the arm
and the fixed wheel around which it is rotated to be of such proportion that they
will give the required traverse of the yarn or thread.
دو
A further part of our invention relates to apparatus for traversing the yarn or
thread while being wound upon the bobbin or spool.
According to this part of our invention we employ a "beart" or " cam" to
oscillate a lever or frame mounted upon a shaft capable of being rotated in suitable
bearings secured to the framework of the machine. The shaft above mentioned
receives rotary motion from the shaft upon which the "heart" or cam " is mounted
by means of wheels. Carried upon the lever or frame above mentioned is a wheel
which receives rotary motion from a wheel fast upon the shaft upon which the said
lever or frame oscillates. The wheel carried by the lever or frame is furnished with
or imparts motion to a crank-pin which passes into a slot formed in a lever mounted
upon and capable of being oscillated upon the shaft upon which the lever or frame
is carried. The lever above mentioned is connected o the "traverse rail" or
" traverse rails" of the machine. The rotation of the cam above referred to will
cause the lever or frame to be oscillated and will by means of the crank-pin carried
thereby cause the lever above referred to, to be oscillated.
The wheels by means of which the crank-pin is rotated we form of unequal
proportion and thereby cause the oscillations of the lever above mentioned to be
variable and thereby impart a varying traverse to the "traverse rail" or traverse
rails."

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Winding Yarns or
Threads.
We, GEORGE HENRY HOLDEN of Carr Street, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist, and JOHN ASHWORTH of the same place, Manager for the above,
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 :-
:-
:
Our invention relates to machinery or apparatus for winding yarns or threads.
Our invention consists firstly in arrangements of apparatus whereby the rotation
of a hobbin or spool is stopped when a yarn or thread or yarns or threads being
wound upon such bobbin or spool becomes or become broken or absent.
In carrying this part of our invention into effect we mount upon rails extending
lengthwise of the machine a bracket jointed to which is a cradle or frame in
which is mounted the bobbin or spool upon which yaru or thread is to be
wound by being in contact with the circumference of a revolving winding
drum or pulley. Hinged upon the sime centre as the cradle or frame is an
arm to one end of which arm is jointed the upper end of a rod which passes through
To the cradle or frame
a hole or guide formed in the bracket above referred to.
before mentioned we secure one end of a cord or chain which we pass beneath a
pulley or bowl mounted upon a stud formed upon or secured to the rod before
referred to then over a pulley secured to the framework of the machine and provide
at its end with a weight suspended thereon. Upon the bar above referred to we
form a catch above which at times passes a bar forced in one direction by a spring.
Passing through one end of the said bar are the "drop wires" or other suitable
equivalents therefor of any suitable detector mechanism which upon the breakage or
absence of a thread will by passing into the path of a revolving or oscillating ratchet
or wiper cause the bar above mentioned to be drawn clear of the catch upon the rod.
When a yarn or thread or yarns or threads is or are being wound the weight
above referred to will tend to keep the bobbin in contact with the driving drum or
pulley but upon a yarn or thread or yarns or threads becoming broken or absent
the bar above mentioned will be moved clear of the catch or projection upon the rod
which will then be at liberty to be raised by the weight so as to bring a brake surface
on the top of the rod in contact with the bobbin or spool and thereby remove the
bobbin or spool from the winding drum or pulley and stop the rotation of the bobbin
or spool.
On the bar above mentioned we form an incline which when the said bar ascends
carries the ends of the fallen detector wires or equivalents therefor clear of the
revolving or oscillating ratchet or wiper. In order that the end or ends of the
broken or absent yarn or thread or yarns or threads may be readily found we support
the bobbin cradle by means of a "setting on arm" provided with a catch which
setting on arm is jointed to the arm jointed to the rod before mentioned. The
said "setting on arm is provided with a jaw which embraces a pin fast upon the
arm upon which it is carried, such pin and jaw limiting the amount of motion of
the said setting on arm.
16
"
After the yarn or thread has been pieced the attendant first moves the setting on
arm so that the catch thereon will no longer support the bobbin cradle or frame and
then pushes down the setting on arm until the catch thereon passes below the sliding
bar above referred to thereby moving the brake surface clear of the bobbin or spool
and allowing the bobbin or spool or the yarn or thread wound thereon to come into
contact with the driving drum or pulley. The descent of the above mentioned rod
will move the incline thereon so as to cause the drop wires or equivalents therefor of
the detector mechanism to return to their normal position.
We would have it understood that machines constructed according to this part of
our invention may be constructed to wind yarn or thread upon any number of bobbins

page_text: or spools. This part of our invention is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accom-
panying drawings Figure 1 being an end elevation partly in section and Figure 2 a
plan of so much of a machine for winding yarns or threads as is necessary to
illustrate this part of our invention.
C
The same letters of reference are applied to corresponding parts in both of the figures.
a is the bracket which is mounted upon a rail 6 extending lengthwise of the
machine. To the bracket a is jointed the cradle or frame c in which is mounted
the bobbin or spool d upon which yarn or thread is to be wound by means of the
revolving winding drum or pulley e against which the bobbin or spool d or the surface
of the yarn or thread wound thereon is caused to hear by the means to be herein-
after more particularly described. The cradle or frame is mounted upon a rod a¹
passing. through a hole formed in a projecting part a³ of the bracket a. Upon the
rod a' and capable of being oscillated thereon is mounted an arm f to one end of
which is jointed the upper end of a rod y which passes through a hole or guide a³
formed in the bracket a. The rod is jointed to the arm ƒ by means of lugs g¹
formed upon such rod through which lugs g' passes a pin o² which passes
through the arm f. To an eye or hook c¹ upon the cradle or frame c is secured one
end of a cord or chain h which we pass beneath a pulley or bowl g³ mounted
upon a stud 9 formed upon or secured to the lower end of the rod g and
then over a pulley i mounted upon a stud secured to the framework j of the
machine. The cord or chain h is provided with a weight which is suspended by
means of such cord or chain h. The weight k must be made sufficiently heavy for it
to raise and support the frame or cradle c and the bobbin or spool das will be herein-
after described. Upon the rod g we form a catch g³ above which at times passes a
bar m forced in the direction indicated by the arrow A by means of a spring n secured
to such bar m and bearing against the stud o secured to the bracket a. The bar m is
supported and guided by the set screws p which pass through slots in the bar m and
are inserted into parts of the bracket a The slots aforesaid or at least one of them
are or is so made that while the bar m may be moved upon the set screws p through
the required distance in the direction indicated by the arrow A and in the opposite
direction further movement of the bar m in either of such directions will be prevented.
Passing through the bar m at one end thereof are the "drop wires" g of a suitable
"detector mechanism" B. The rod g is provided with a brake surface 96 which when
the rod is raised will come into contact with the bobbin or spool d or the yarn or
thread thereon and raise such bobbin or spool d until the yarn or thread wound
thereon is clear of the surface of the winding drum or pulley e and stop the rotation
of the said bobbin or spool d.
""
"
To the arm is jointed by means of a pin or stud f' a "setting on arm
r shown
only in Fig. 1 which is provided at its upper end with a suitable handle r¹ and is also
provided with a catch which when the cradle or frame c is raised as will be herein-
after described passes beneath the part c² of such cradle or frame c so as to be able
to sustain it in the raised position. The "setting on arm ris provided with a jaw r³
which embraces the pin g² so as to limit the movement of the "setting on arm
Upon the rod g is formed an incline g' which when the rod g is raised as will be
presently described acts against the adjacent end of the bar m so as to move such
bar m in the direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow A.
"
T.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the parts of the machine are shown in the positions which they
occupy when yarn or thread is being wound upon the bobbin or spool d. The yarn
or thread from each of the cops C passes through the eye or guide wire s, over the
railt and through the eye u¹ of one of the levers u of the detector mechanism B.
From the eyes u' of the levers u of the detector mechanism B the yarns or threads
pass over the guide pulley to the bobbin or spool d. When the parts of the machine
are in the position in which they are shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the bar m projecting
over the part go of the rod 9 prevents such rod g from being raised by the weight k
and consequently such weight k acting upon the frame or cradle c causes the bobbin
or spool or the surface of the yarn or thread wound thereon to be pressed into
contact with the winding drum or pulley e so as to cause yarn or thread to be wound

page_text: g
upon the bobbin or spool d. When a yarn or thread breaks or becomes absent the
eye u¹ and detector wire or drop wire 9 previously supported by such yarn or thread
will descend so that the lower end of the said detector wire or drop wire
will pass
into the path of a revolving ratchet or wiper w which acting upon the said detector
wire or drop wire q will move the bar m in a direction opposite to that indicated by
the arrow A so as to remove such bar m from above the part 9 upon the rod g. The
rod g will then be raised by the action of the weight so that the brake surface g
will be caused to raise the bobbin or spool d so that the surface of suci bobbin or
spool d or of the yarn or thread wound thereon will be removed out of contact with
the winding drum or pulley e and stop the rotation of the said bobbin or spool d.
While the rod g is being raised the incline 97 thereon acting against the adjacent end
of the bar m will cause such bar m to move in a direction opposite to that indicated
by the arrow A so as to move out of the path of the revolving ratchet or wiper w the
detector wire or drop wire q which the breakage or absence of the yarn or thread
previously supporting it had allowed to descend.
"
After the rotation of the bobbin or spool d has been stopped the attendant "pieces'
the broken yarn or thread or replaces the absent one by a fresh yarn or thread the
commencement of which is "pieced" or joined to the "end" wound upon the bobbin
or spool d. If as very seldom happens it is necessary to revolve the bobbin or spool d
in order to find the "end" thereon or if the bobbin or spool d requires to be replaced
by a new bobbin or spool the attendant raises the cradle or frame c until the catch r
passes below the part 2 of the cradle or frame c. The cradle or frame e will then be
supported by the catch 2 and the bobbin or spool d may be freely revolved and the
"end" thereon may be readily found or the bobbin or spool d may be replaced by a
fresh one.
After the broken or absent yarn or thread has been "pieced or replaced
or the yarns or threads are attached to the new bobbin or spool the attendant pushes
the "setting on arm" in the direction indicated by the arrow D so that the catch r³
will no longer support the frame or cradle c and then pushes the said "setting on
arm in the direction indicated by the arrow E so that the brake surface 9 will
be moved clear of the bobbin or spool d so that such bobbin or spool d or the yarn
or thread thereon will be in contact with the winding drum or pulley e and the bobbin
or spool d will be again rotated by the winding drum or pulley e. The "setting on
arm ris pushed in the direction indicated by the arrow E until the incline g' upon
the rod g is moved clear of the bar m which will then be moved by the spring n in
the direction indicated by the arrow A into position for again preventing the rod
from being raised by the action of the weight k.
"
7"
The winding of yarn or thread on to the bobbin or spool d will then again proceed
until another breakage or absence of yarn or thread occurs.
The levers u of the detector mechanism B which carry the drop wires or detector
wires 9 are provided with portions u² which are made sufficiently heavy to counter-
balance entirely or to any required extent the weight of the "drop wires" or
"detector wires" q and the weight of such portion of each of the levers'u as would
otherwise require to be supported by the yarn or thread passing through the eye u¹ of
the said lever u. By so counterbalancing, the whole or a portion of the weight of
the said parts we are enabled to employ "drop wires or "detector wires" q
sufficiently strong not to be injured by the action of the revolving ratchet or wiper w
without straining the yarn or thread being wound.
"
The arrangements in which this part of our invention consists cause the bobbin or
spool d to be quickly stopped when yarn or thread being wound breaks or becomes
absent and the said arrangements enable the piecing or replacing of the broken or
absent yarn or thread and the re-starting of the winding 'to be readily and quickly
effected.
A further part of our invention relates to the traverse motion of winding frames
and consists in arrangements of apparatus whereby we so distribute the yarn or thread
upon the bobbins or spools that it may be readily unwound therefrom.
According to this part of our invention we mount upon a stud fixed to the frame-
work of the machine an arm capable of being rotated upon the said stud. Fast with

page_text: "
"
the arm previously mentioned is a wheel which by means of a worm or bevel wheels
or gearing or other suitable means receives rotary motion from any convenient part of
the machine. Secured to the said arm is a stud mounted upon which and free to be
rotated thereon is a wheel from one face of which projects a crank-pin. The wheel
upon the arm above mentioned gears into a wheel fast upon the stud before referred to,
upon which the said arm turns. The crank-pin above mentioned may pass into a slot
formed in a lever which is capable of being oscillated upon a stud fixed to the frame
work of the machine and is connected to the traverse rail" or traverse rails" of
the machine and employed for guiding the yarn or thread upon the bobbins or spools
or the said crank-pin may be connected directly to the "traverse rail" or traverse
rails which arrangement is particularly applicable when a quick traverse
desired. When the arm above mentioned is caused to rotate, the wheel mounted
upon the said arm will, by being carried round the fixed wheel before referred to,
be rotated so that while the crank-pin is turning round the stud upon the arm
such crank-pin is also being turned round the stud upon which the arm above
mentioned is mounted.
"

"
is
We
Ve cause the wheels upon the arm and the fixed wheel around which it is rotated
to be of such proportion that they will give the required traverse of the yarn or
thread.
This part of our invention is illustrated by Figs. 3 and 4 of the accompanying
drawings which figures show so much of a winding frame as is necessary to
illustrate this part of our invention. Fig. 3 is a side view and Fig. 4 an end
view. The same letters of reference are applied to corresponding parts in both
figures.
X
In Figs. 3 and 4 x is a stud which is fixed in a bracket y secured to any suitable
part of the framework of the machine. Upon the stud and fixed thereto is a
toothed wheel . Mounted and capable of being revolved upon the stud is a worm
wheel 2 into which gears or engages a worm 3 which receives rotary motion from any
convenient part of the machine. Also mounted and capable of being revolved upon
the stud x is an arın 4 which is secured to the worm wheel 2 so that it will revolve
therewith. The arm 4 is provided with a stud 4" upon which is mounted a toothed
wheel 5 the teeth of which gear into or engage with the teeth of the wheel z above
mentioned. The toothed wheel 5 is provided with a stud or crank-pin 5ª which passes
into a slot 6ª formed in a lever 6 mounted upon a stud or shaft 7 secured to or in
any suitable part of the framework of the machine. The lever is provided with a
slot o into which a stud connected to the traverse rail or traverse rails of the machine
is caused to pass.
When the worm 3 is caused to revolve and impart rotary motion
to the worm wheel 2 the arm 4 being caused to revolve will carry the wheel 5 around
the wheel z and the wheel 5 will be caused to revolve upon the stud 4: Thus the
oscillation of the lever 6 caused by the revolution of the arm 4 will be modified by
the movement of the crank-pin 5 in relation to the axis of the stud about which
the arm 4 turns and thus the traverse imparted to the traverse rail or traverse rails
of the machine by means of the lever 6 will be varied so as to distribute the
yarn or thread in the required manner upon the bobbin or spool upon which it is
wound.
Instead of the stud or crank-pin 5 being caused to pass into a slot 6 formed in a
lever such as 6 such stud or crank-pin 5ª may be caused to pass into a slot formed in
a bracket or other suitable part secured or connected to the traverse rail or traverse
rails of the machine. This arrangement is particularly applicable when the traverse
rail or traverse rails is or are to be quickly traversed to and fro as when what is known
quick traverse" is to be employed.
as a
The wheels z and 5 must be made of such relative proportions that the "traverse"
of the traverse rail or traverse rails caused by the revolution of the arm 4 shall be
modified in the required manner by the revolution of the wheel 5 upon the stud 4
caused by such wheel 5 being carried around the fixed wheel z.
A further part of our invention also relates to apparatus for traversing the yarn
or thread while being wound upon the bobbin or spool.

page_text: This part of our invention is illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying
drawings in both of which figures the same letters of reference are applied to corre-
sponding parts, Fig. 5 being a side view and Fig. 6 an end view of so much of a
machine as is necessary to illustrate this part of our invention.
According to this part of our invention we employ a heart or cam 8 mounted
upon a shaft 9 which is mounted and capable of being revolved in bearings formed
in brackets 10, 11 attached to suitable parts of the framework of the machine. The
shaft 9 receives rotary motion from the worm 12 which is caused to revolve by any
suitable means and imparts rotary motion to the shaft 9 by means of the worm-
wheel 13 which is mounted fast upon the shaft 9. Fast upon the shaft 9 is niounted
a toothed wheel 14 which gears into a toothed wheel 15 mounted so as to be capable
of being revolved upon a stud 15ª secured to the bracket 11. The toothed wheel 15
gears into a toothed wheel 16 mounted fast upon a shaft 17 fast upon which is
mounted an eccentric 18 embraced by a strap 19" formed on a lever 19 provided
with a slot 19b into which a pin or stud connected to the traverse rail or traverse
rails of the machine is caused to pass. The shaft 17 is mounted and capable of
being revolved in bearings formed in the brackets 10, 11. Upon the shaft 17 is
mounted a lever or arm 20 which is capable of being oscillated on the said shaft 17
and is provided with a pin or stud 21 which is secured. in the said lever or arm 20
and at one end passes into a slot 19¢ formed in the lever 19 and at the other end is
provided with a bowl 21" which is caused to bear against the circumference of the
heart or cam 8 by means of a spring 22 secured at one end to the lever or arm 20
and at the other end to any suitable part of or attached to the framework of the
machine or by means of a weight which spring 22 or weight tends to turn the arm
or lever 20 in the direction indicated by the arrow F.
When the worm 12 is caused to impart rotary motion to the worm wheel 13 the
heart or cam 8 acting upon the bowl 21" will alternately cause the lever or arm 20
to be oscillated in the direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow F and allow
it to be moved in the direction indicated by the arrow F by the spring 22 or weight
aforesaid.
The revolution of the shaft 9 will by means of the wheels 14, 15, and 16 cause
the shaft 17 to be revolved and with it the eccentric 18. The lever 19 will have
imparted to it two oscillations one caused by the action of the heart or cam 8 upon
the bowl 21 which is transmitted to the lever 19 by means of the lever or arm 20
and pin or stud 21 and the other caused by the action of the eccentric 18 upon the
strap 19 on the lever 19. The oscillation caused by the revolution of the eccentric 18
will modify that caused by the revolution of the heart or cam 8 and thus cause the
traverse" imparted to the traverse rail of the machine to be varied so that the yarn
or thread will be distributed in the required manner upon the bobbins or spools upon
which it is being wound. The wheels 14 and 16 must be made of unequal sizes in
order that the oscillation of the lever 19 may be varied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
