CREEL-BOARLD.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed October 9, 1912.
Patented Oct. 28, 1913. {Serial No. 724,764..
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Hnnnnn'r W. Ownlv, a citizen of the United States, and a rest dent of Dover, in the county of Straiford and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Creel llioards, of which the following is a specification.
This invention slates to cotton spinning frames and other machines which employ roving, such as cotton roving, or Speeders, orin the manufacture of worsted or woolen yarns or threads, or strands made of jute, flax or hemp, the roving being spun or twisted after leaving the cops or bobbins which supply such roving. in such machines it is customary to provide bearings for the upper ends of theskewers or spindles, said bearings usually consistingof holes formed in what is commonly known as the creel board. For the sake of brevity of description hereinafter, reference will be had mainly to creel boards used in cotton spinning frames, although it'is to be understood that my invention is not limited to these specific machines, nor is the term board to be understood as meaning that the material of which the article is made is necessarily wood. Dii'liculty is frequently encountered when the roving is being put in the machine because the holes in the board which form the bearings for the upper ends of the skewers or spindles cannot always be easily me *n. At night, when the spinners are working by artificial light, there are so many shadows thrown by the other roving in the creel, that the holes have to be found rather by the sense of feeling than by the eyes. Furthermore, spinners of small stature cannot see the top of the creel boards so as to find the holes.
The object of my invention is to provide a structure of creel board having means whereby the upper end of each skewer or spindle will be guided to the bearing hole in a manner such as hereinafter described.
Of the accompanying drawings :F igure 1 is a front elevation of so much of a creel frame as is necessary to illustrate the pres ent invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional end view. Fig. 3 is an under plan View of the creel board. Fig. 4: is a perspective view from the under side of the creel board. Fig. 5 represents a section 011 line 55 of Fig. 3 On a slightly larger scale. Figs. 6, 7 and 8 are views similar to Fig. 5 but illustrating modifications hereinafter described.
The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all the figures.
The creel board 10, which is, as usual, supported in a substantially horizontal po sition, is provided with holes 11 as usual which form the bearings for the upper ends or points 12 of the skewers or spindles on which the cops or bobbins of roving 13 are mounted as usual. As illustrated in Figs. 52, 3, a and 5, the under surface of the creel board 10, which is the surface that cannot be readily seen, is formed with grooves l t which connect the different bearing holes 1].. Said grooves are intended to lead to the holes 11 regardless of what may be the rela tive positions of the latter whether said holes are in single, double or quadruple rows. A suitable arrangement of the grooves is illustrated in Figs. 3 and l in which the grooves zig-zag from the holes of one row to the holes of an adjacent row.
In use the spinner or operator who wishes to introduce a fresh supply of roving simply inserts the cop or bobbin and its skewer or spindle with the upper end or tip of the latter started toward the hole in the upper bearing member 10 in which hole the spindle is to be inserted. if said tip does not enter the hole, a slight moving around while pressing lightly upward will cause the tip to readily find a groove along which said tip can then be quickly drawn until it finds the hole so that it may be passed upwardly into the hole to permit the lower end to be dropped on to its step bearing, and this can be done readily, in spite of the fact that the operator cannot see the tip of the spindle, nor determine its proximity to the hole sought. As the lower or step hearing or bearings may be of any suitable structure, no detail description thereof need be given.
Instead of forming grooves as illustrated at 14;, the guides may be formed by one or more ribs 15 such as shown in Fig. 6, or by securing to the under suriace of the board two cleats such as shown at 16, 16 in Fig. 7, so as to leave a space 14; between them, said space practically forming a. groove serving the same purpose as if it were made directly .in the under surface of the board 10.
As so far described, it has been assumed that the creel board is made of wood, but obviously it may be made of any other maspinning frame much easier than when the board is made Without means for guiding the roving skewer to the bearing holes. By simply moving the skewer point in contact with the under surface of the upper member 10 until it engages the guide groove, that point can be moved so as to follow the groove to the bearing hole into which it is supposed to go.
It is to be understood that the drawings do not attempt to illustrate all of the embodiments of my invention, but have been merely selected for illustrative purposes. And it is also to be understood that the terms used in description are not for purposes of limitation but solely to enable the principle of the invention to be understood. My invention comprehends any structure of creel board having its under surface formed or provided with means for guiding the skewer or spindle points to the bearings for said points.
I claim 1. A device of the character described having bearings for the ends of cop skewers or spindles, the under surface of the member having said bearings being provided with guides leading to said bearings.
2. A substantially horizontal creel board having bearing holes, the under surface of the board being provided with guides leading to said holes.
3. A substantially horizontal creel board having holes connected by guides carried by its under surface.
4. A substantially horizontal creel board having holes connected by guide grooves carried by its under surface.
A creel board having holes and having its under surface provided with guide grooves connecting said holes.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
