l The Schedule. referred to in these Letters Patent `and making part of the same To all whom "it may concern: v Be it known that we, WILLIAM LAJBANIs'rnn and `Lonnbino V. DAGGETlffof Pacific, in the county of Columbia-and inthe State'oi'` Wisconsin, have in` vented certain new audiiisefnl Improvements in Spinning- Machine `and do `hereby declarethat the follow,-

ping is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, ref'- erence being had to the'paccompanying drawing andto the letters of reference marked'thereon making a part of this specification.` The nature of ouruinvention consists inthe construction and arrangement ot'a machine for spinning bothwool and cotton, one side-of the machine being arranged for spinning wool and thebther'for cotton.

I n order to enable others skilledin theart to which our invention .appertainsto make and use the same,`

we'willn'ow proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the aunexe'ddrawing, in which- Figure 1` 1s a View of the side of our vmachine arranged for spinning wool gspinning cotton; Figure 3 is au end View; and

` Figure 5 shows enlargedviewsof the flyer.`

l A represents the frame of ou1macl1ine,made of any suitable material,a`ud of any desired dimensions.

Along; the center of the i'ra'meA, in the upper part,

V is a bar, B, upon which 'are two rows of pins or posts,

a ag i `"llhese plus or posts are inclined, one row toward one side andjtheother rowvtowa'rd the other side,y

said' pins or posts having Athe spoolsc clplaced upon them.

`Under the bar `Bis a'large cylinder, l), placed upon a shaft which has its hearings in the endrpieces'of the franie'A, and is'tnrfnedby any suitable means.

Around this cylinder "isl a number of belts, b b,

which pass around pulleys, d d, attached ou the shanks Theseiiyers, the construction of which will be heleinat'ter set fortlnare arranged on each side of the f. frame, as shown `in the drawing, their pulleys being between the ba'rs G G.

L Under each flyer is placed a bobbin',I, upon a weighted spindleH, which is supported inthe rails The rails J J are to be made movable, the same as on most spiunin'gimachines now in use,`so that the weighted spindles can' be-raisedand lowered to wind the bobbin evenly. r

"On thesideot' the machine adapted for spinning other side, arrangedr for Figure 4 isa transverse vertical sectionof our maf chine. l

` cotton are two rollers, K K, between which the threads pass from the bobbin O to the flyers, said rollers beling operated by belts from the'shaft of the cylinder D.

Y Behind these rollers should also be placed two sets of-lluted rollers, which I have not deemed it neces- 'sary -to represent, as they are in common use on most spinning-machines. j

O n the wool-spinning side of the machine are two `pairs of rollers, `c e, each pair being'surrounded by an endlessapron, f, and between said aprons the woolen strands` from the spool are passed. The object of this is to keep the wool together' as much as possible without breaking, which it is very iable to do when passing between smooth or liuted rollers, as: is now generally the case.

The aprons are madey to revolve by belts connectv ing pulleys on the rollers e e with pulleyson the shaft of the cylinder D. Y l

When the strands pass out from between the `aprons ff, they pass'- under the elongated beater L, which consists cfa flat bar,'of any suitable dimensions, haviV ing journals upon its ends, 'upon which it revolves, it

between the aprons, and pulls them a little at every revolution, allowing the4 twist to pass byfullto the apron. lThus the roving is'drawn out very evenly.

i The wool-spinning yer E' is constructed as shown in lig.'1, the yarn entering inv a hole in the center of the shank or neck, and runningslantiug out through the side, then again entering the neck, passing through the neck and the guide-eye ouY the-side, then passing to the guide-eye-at the lower end, and thence to the bobbin. v i i These fiyei's'may` be cast of any metal, `or forged, and may be provided, at the ends, with a ringVto keep the armsfrom spreading when speeded too high. The guides on the twisters may be either wire hooks att-ached to them, or inclined slots cut in them.

.'lhe cotton-spinning flyers E are. made of forged or cast malleable iron, or any suitable metal, Withthe -hole running through th'e centerof the neck, and

TT, vor PACIFIC. wrsl `and arranged toopernte substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2.Tl1e arrangement of the frame A, bnr B, in

' clineil posts a a, cylinderv D, rollers e e, aprons f j;

beater L, flyers E', spindles H, and bobbns I, all substantinlly as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that We claim the-foregoing, welmve hereunto set our hands and seals this 14th daynf Aprl, 1870.
