Letters Patent No. 103,995, dated June 7, 187 0.

IMPROVEMENT IN SPOOLING-MAC'HINES.

W The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the earne- I Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Darzonnnrr, of the city of \Vilmington, in the county of New Castle and State of Delaware, have invented a new and improved spooling-llIachin e; and I do hereby declare that the following is a 'full, clear, and exact description of the construction and' operation of the same,

reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 1s a front view of a machine embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is an elevation showing that end of the machine which is at the right hand, in fig. 1.-

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section, showing those parts of the machine at the left hand of the line Z Z, drawn across fig. 1.

Figure 4 is the side of tlic spool-holder and stand. Figure 5 is a plane view of the spool-holder and stand.

Figure 6 is the finger, with its spring foot.

Figure 7 is the guide or traversing-rail, with gnidepulley and finger, with its spring foot. 4

Nature and Objects of the Invention. The first part of my invention consists in a spoolstand so constructed and arranged as to.enable the operator to raise thespool-holder from the drum or cylinder, and leave it at rest whenever the broken yarn is to be pieced or the spool removed.

The second part of my invention consists of the thread-guide, with a traveling rail, which is worked by a quadrant orcog-wheel, so as to cause a traversing of the bobbin-rail. The thread-guide, being c011- structed with the V-shape, in two pieces, and curved, cuts or shaves the foreign matter incorporated in the yarn, without breaking thethread, and permits the motes and seeds to drop from it, thereby avoiding This guide, being set' in place by a screw, is easily'adjusted to suit any size of thread. The object of this part of my invention is -to lay the thread evenly upon the spool.

The third part of my invention consists of the combination of a quadrant with a guide or traverse-rail. The object of this part of my invention is to give the operator the entire control of the length of sweep or stroke ot'the traverse,- thereby enabling him to adjust his traverse to any required length, the quadrant having this advantage over the wheel, in that, being composed of two pieces, it permits the arm to be lengthencd or shortened sufficiently to carry the stroke the distance required.

General Description. A is the frame of the machine. I

Bis the d1iving-pulley operating the machine. 0 is the spool-holder, pivoted to and working upon the stand D, which is so constructed and arranged as to receive and hold it at rest by means of a beveled lug, T, and corresponding shoulder U on the holder.

When the operator desires to disengage the spool from the cylinder S, the holder 0 is thrown'at rest by the hand, and operated in no other way, except when in motion and in contact with the cylinder S. E is the thread-guide, of a sickle-like shape, constructed with two blades, and attached to the traversing rail K by aset-serew, so as to regulate the slit or opening, as shown in the drawing, for the purpose of cleansing or freeing the thread from foreign substances, preventing their passage to the spool, and

turning out a perfect thread. The curved or sickle shape of the guide produces a shearing-like action,

which readily and at once throws off the foreign substance from the guide, and prevents it becoming choked. In the straight guide the foreign substance rery frequently chokes the slit or opening, and causes 2 the thread to break 'not so fiequent while in the shape shown.

in the angular the choking is I know V-shaped guides have been heretofore used, and I do not claim the V-shape but the alteration of the shape of the guide is nota mere change of appearance, but really a substitute for the original or old-shaped guide.

F is the ordinary bobbin-finger, opera'ed by a spiral spring, G, in place of the weight ordinarily used.

is the quadrant operating the guide or traversing rail K, and adjustable radially, giving the operator the entire control of the sweep or stroke of the traverse, which the ordinary wheel will not permit.

L is the swift or reel, which may be'attaehed whenever it is desired to spool hank-yarn.

II is the guide for spooling from the swift;

What I claim as my invention is 1. The spool-holder ,0, provided with a shoulder, U, in combination with the stand D, having a beveled lug, T, for the purpose of enabling the spool-holder to be thrown at rest, substantially as and for the pn rposes mentioned.

2. The curved thread-guide E, constructed and operating substantially as and forthe purposes aforesaid.

8. The adjustable segmental rack H, in. combination with the traveling bobbin-rail-K, as and for the purposes described; I

4. The combination with 'the spool-holder G and stand D, the thread-guide E and springedhobbin-finger F, of thequadrant or adjustable segmental rack H,- cog-whcel traversing bobbin-rail K, and mangle L, constructed, arranged, and working substantially as 1 and for the purposes hcreinbefore set forth.
