JSEPH V. WOODWRTH, F BROKLYN, NEW YORK.

FLER.

learner,

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, .lossen V. Woonwon'ri-I, a citizen' of the United States, and

a resident of Brooklyn, in the county oi' 45 Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fliers, of which the iollowing'is a speciication.

The invention relates to fliers as employed in the spinning of cotton, wool, jute, hemp and yarn for textile fabrics, and also bagging and rope.

It has Jfor its object to produce, instead of the present cast, forged, or hot pressed metal flier, a sheet metal, one-piece ilier and one which may be struck up from a suitable,

blank. Such flier will be of considerably less weight than those of the present type, less power therefore being required to operate the spinning machine and roving frames employing the same; and, moreover, the eiciency of the improved flier is greater and a more perfect balance and smoothness of all Working parts is obtained. TheV flier may be produced, furthermore, at less cost and allows of ready interchangeability and duplication ci the same.

The nature ci the invention will best be understood when described in connection with the. accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a plan of the blank of suitable sheet metal which is formed into the iier. Figs. Q'to 6 are vertical sections illustrating the different stages in the manufacture olf the iiier. 2' isea front elevation, partly in section, illustrating the completed flier.

Fig. 8 is a 'fragmentary view illustrating a modification. .4 Similar characters of reference designate corresponding parte throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, l have illustrated in Fig,, 1 substantially the shape ofv the blank 1() of material, such as sheet steel, from which the dier is formed. lt will be noted, particularly with respect to Fig.` 2, that this materia-,l may be reinforced in roll ing the blank material, as at certain pontions, 11, 12, and 13, 114C to strengthen the finished flier respectively at the arm portions and'at the eye portions. rThe central portion 15 of this blank is first cupped, as shown inFig. 2, and the tubular, tapering neck 16 of the Hier drawn therein in Well known manner, as shown in Fig. 3.

e, the upwardly 'turned material about the neck 16 is shown closed thereon, greatly Patented Dec. i?, '1912.

strengthening thetlier at this point; and

the upper end oi' the neck has' been pern orated and the ends 17 and 18 of the blank cupped and likewise perforated to form the eyes 19. Fig. 5 illustrates the edges ot the eyes turned over to prevent,- cutting of theV material in passing therethrough. When employing iiiers oit considerable size, the ends 17 .and 18 are preferably merely punched out without clipping and an eyelet 19', Fig. 8, inserted, thus; increasing the life of the flier as a whole in allowing replacement o the eyelet. ln Fig. 6, the intermediate material is curled over to form the tubular arms 2() and 21 of the flier, the same, however, not being completely closed and leaving an open slot 22i'for the insertion pf the material; The formed up blank is then hent about, in any suitable manner, to the shape of an inverted U, forming' the flier shown in Fig. 7. The flier thus produced is accurately balanced, smooth throughout and reinforced where most nec essary. tWhenlout one leg is desired, it is or course to be understood' that one of the two legs 2O or 21 may be flattened out.

l claim l. A flier composed of a single piece of' sheet metal having a portion thereoi2 curled over into an. open-slotted tubular leg, one end thereof being perforated; a tubular .neck drawn in said piece of sheet metal; and an arm connecting the neck with the rother end of the leg.

2. A {liervcomposed of a single piecevpf sheet metal having a portion thereof curled over into an open-slotted tubular leg, one end thereof being cupped and perforated to form the eye, and the edge of said eye being curled over; a tubular neck drawn in said piece of sheet metal; and an arm connecting the neck with the other end of the leg.

3. A dier composed oi a single piece of sheet -inetal having a portion thereof curled and then outwardly,

end thereof being perforated; a tubular neck drawn in said piece of sheet meta-l, the lower end thereof being turned upwardly the latter portion forming'the arm of the Vflier connecting said neck with the other end of the said leg; and reinforcing material integral with said arm.

5. A Hier composed of a single piece of sheet metal having a portion thereof curled over into an open-slotted tubular leg one end thereof being perforated; a tubular neck -drawn in said piece of sheet metal, the

lowerend thereof being turned upwardly and then outwardly, the latter portion forming the arm of the flier connecting said 15 l neck with the other end of said leg; reinforcing material integral with said arm; and reinforcing material integral with the leg portion near the eye thereof.

Signed at New York, in the county of 20 New York, and State of New York, this 28th day of August A. D. 1912.
