IMPROVEMENT' IN FAsTENERs FoR SPINNING-RINGS;

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 112,655, dated March 14, 1871.

` `To all persons to whom', these presents may come Be it known that I, CHARLES EDWARD A -TROWBRIDGE, of Whitinsville, in the county 1 1 of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have 3 l made a new and useful invention having referp ence to Rin g and Traveler Spinning-Frames;

and do hereby declarethe same to be fully specification and panying drawing, of

frame7 or machine.

rljhe nature of such invention or improvement, as it may be termed, consists in the ar rangement of a spring-catch or ring-fastener on the under side of the ring-rail, so as, when Ai l in engagement with the rm g, 4to extend up l within tlieopening of the ring-rail and catch y l or take upon the inner flange of the lower race 3 of the ring, when such ring may be a duplexrace ring, or in a rabbet or notch in the ring,

Q, when what is termed a single-race ring/in i order to hold or aid in holding the .ring in `Aplace on the rail or in the circular rabbet or l 3" socket for the reception of such ring.

In order to hold the duplex-race ring in its A Ay socket it has been customaryheretofore to ac- 3 @complish the same by means of one or more A screws, or such and washers arranged on the jupper" surface of the rail, and `so as to lap on or over the outer lian'ge of the lower race of the ring.

A vices, arranged on the A grail and extended above. such, fllamentsare liable to gather and impede the traveler close to and On such holding deupper surface of the `while in operation. Besides, they` are obstathe top of the rail in order to cleanse it of oil or dust.

It will readily be seen that by arranging the A `ring-fastening underneath the ring-rail, and l gso constructing and applying such fastening y that it may be caused to catch or take upon the inner ange of the lower race of the duplexl lrace ring, all danger of collecting laments `lyon the fastener, and thc'evil consequences of the rail, as in such case the fastener will take or catch upon the circular shoulder or rabbet usually below the inner iiange of the race. When applied to a shanked ring the improvement saves the necessity of one or more clamp-screws inserted horizontally in the rail for the purpose of holding the ring in place in its socket. It also saves the necessity of splitting the eccentric annular carrier of the ring, in order to effect, by means of a clamp-Screw, the retraction of it and the ring lin place in the socket of the ring-rai1.

In the drawing, A denotes the ring-rail as provided with duplex-race rings B' B', resting in sockets or circular rabbets a a', made in the top of the rail and around the spindle-open` ings b b', which go down through the rail.

vEach duplex-race ring has two annular races,

c d, united by a connection, e.

The ring-fastener is shown at C as arranged between the two openings b b, and underneath the rail or its top part f. Such ring-fastener, as shown, is constructed as an elastic spring latch to extend v'up within the opening of the rail and take or catch upon the inner iiange of the lower race of the ring.

' TheV fastener may be fixed to the rail by a A ring, should hold it in place in its socket with sufficient tenacity or power 'to prevent disfastener to catch or take upon the inner ange placement of it while-the traveler may be in of the lower race of the ring, or upon a shouloperation. der or its equivalent made in or on the rin g;

I claimall substantially as set forth.
