Kingdom of GreatBritain and Immense resident of Melrose House; Bentmeadows, Rochdale, in the county ofLancaster, Eng land, have invented new and useful. Improvements in Spindles or Holders forCones for Winding-Machines, of which the following is as 'iecification. I 7

' This'invention of improvementsi'in spindles or holders for the purpose of holding paper or other icones for machinery for r winding yarn, thread, cord, twine or the like relates to thespindles orholdershere inafter for convenience called holders which are provided with expansible and contractible teeth or projections for engaging with the interior surfaces of paper or other-[like cones placed upon them in order to receive yar thread, cord, twine and, thelike to )be wound in winding machines whether the winding is effected by the, holders being "ofholders constructed according to this invention 'are sho'wnby way of example and "in illustration of this invention, Figures 1,

mounted on or formed as parts of revolving spindles, mandrelsor the like or byflthe surfaces of paper or other cones on the holders or yarn, thread, cord, twine or the like wound upon such cones being applied to the surfacesof revolving drums, rollers or belts or other revolving surfaces and whether the securing and release of paper or other cones applied to the holders are effected by the holders or mandrels, spindles or shafts on which they are formed or mounted being turned about ends or parts so that cam surfaces are brought into'or put out of action to effect or allow movement of the engaging devices or by means of handle's or levers or other devices provided for moving the engaging devices into or out of engagement with the paper or'othe'r cones.

This invention consists in holders for the said purpose and devices for use therein which are or render holders in which they are applied more efficient than the holders heretofore provided have been in holding a paper or other cones firmly in position when l Speeifiction of t e Intent! Patented June 10, 1919. Application filed October 8,1915." Serial 1%,54310.

' placed thereon andcontinuing to hold them firmly even though by expansion or by deformation the paper or other cones in the parts engaged withthe holding devices provlded'in or on theholders' should move a away from the axes of the holders after "beingappli'edthereto and which obviate the disadvantage-common in some holders heretofore constructed that the parts provided to engage paper or other cones tend to push them axially off the holders in passing into or keeping in engagement-with them.

7 According to this invention holders for the purpose aforesaid" with engaging-parts "for engaging thepaper or other cones to be applied to'theholders are p'rovidedwith resilient engaging means preventing engaging parts which indmoving or being moved outward from the .axesof the holders to engage or to keep inengageme'nt with paper or other cones move also'axially of the holders in the direction from the points ornarrow ends to the bases or wider parts of-the paper or other cones appliedto the holders and thus the engaging parts are made to pull the paper or other cones more firmly on to the holders in passing or keeplng in engagement with them.

As in a in the direction indicated by the arrow and its expansion Wlll. be-limited by the paper or other cone 6 and so should the paper or other cone 6 yield or expand in use the collara will be moved farther in the direction indicated by the arrow C and so be further expanded and made again to engage closely the paper or other cone b and to keep it drawn closely on to 'the tapered 'part'i of the sleeve 9" such movement of the collar a into engagement with the paper or other cone 6 being accompanied by further movement in the direction indicated by the arrow C in which the paperor other cone 7) is applied to theholder. By the holder be- -ing turned again into the position in which it is shown in Fig. 8 the ribs 6 of the collar a are withdrawn from the paper or other cone 6 so that it maybe removed easily from the holder. H j

The ridges c are one illustrative form of engaging parts and these may be made different from those shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 without departure from this invention.

In theholder illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 the sleeve 9 is mounted and held in position axially on a "shaft h similarly to the sleeve gshown in Figs. 1, 2', 3 and 4 formed at one end with a tapered part i of a taper corresponding to the'taper of the interior ofa tapered or otheroone 6 near the smallest part thereof and is also formed at the other endwith a tapered part y of a taper correiently sponding to the taper of the interior of a paper or other cone 6 near the largest part thereof and formed hollow and carried by a web or flange a.

Spring arms 1 which extend in the direction from the baseto the tip of a cone 1) applied to the holder are shapedso that the parts 2 nearer their bases are inclined 'outward from the axis'of the holderand the parts 3 nearer their tips are inclined toward the axis of the holder and furnished with points 4 inclined in the direction from the smaller to the larger parts of the tapered parts i-and 3 The springs l'may convenform as shown arms extending through the webs "from a ring 5 madeto encircle, withouttouching, the shafthp The ring 5 is securedin position by being placed between the sleeve 9 and. acollar on the shaft h. The parts S of the springs lwh-ich are inclined toward the axis of the holder are preferably shaped so that when allowed to expand into engagement with a cone 7) "applied to the holder they shall be parallel orapproximately parallel to the parts of the coneb which are nearest to them. As shown ,hOlGS in the web a of the tapered collar 1 being applied to the holder the paper. or other cone *6 is firmly pressed on to the tapered collar a the movement of the collar In order that the springs 1 may be withdrawn from their expanded position a compressing'device, shown for example, as comprising a collar 6 with arms 7 which extend through the web a and are formed with inwardly directed inclined faces on the inner sides to be made to bear on the outwardly inclined parts2 of thesprings 1 by the collar Gbe'ing moved on the shaft 72. in the direction opposite-to thatindicated by the arrow G by means ofthe cams '1) formed on the part a by which the shaft h is carried.

' When a paper orother cone 7) is to be applied to the holder shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the holder is placed in the position in which it'is shown in Fig 6 by the shaft h being turned about the pivot t. The turning, of the shaft it into the position in which it is shown in Fig. 6 causes the collar 6 to be acted upon by the: cams 'v and forcedin the direction opposite to that indicated by the sothatfthe collar 6 being-moved back over.

and withdrawn from contact with the cams 1 in the direction indicated by the arrow G and the springs 1 then expand so that theirpoints 4E engage the paper or other cone 1). 'In engaging the paper or other cone 6 the points 4 moving in some measure in the-direction indicated by the arrow 0 will draw the cone 1) farther in the direction indicated by the'arrow C and more firmly on to the tapered parts i y and as in being applied to the holder the paper or other cone 1; is firmly pressed on to the tapered 'parts i g of the sleeve 9 the expansion of the springs 1 will be limited by the paper or other cone 6 and so should the paper or other. cone 1) yield or expand in use the springs 1 will expand further and'keep c loselyfin' engagement with the cone 6 and keep drawn tight on to the tapered parts i 1 of the sleeve'g. By the holder being turned again into the position in which it 'is shown-in Fig. 6,' the points 4 of the springs 1 are withdrawn from the paper or other cone bso that it may be removed easily from the holder.

-41 can be forced bythe parts 2 of the springs 45 7 shown in Fig. 7 and in full lines in Fig. 9

Details in the construction may be made 'difl 'erent-from those shown in Figs.- 5 and eg-without departure from this invention A holder 01 this form may cen eniently be provided with fear springs to engage paper or other cones but one Su'C'hspring or two or more may be employed asmay" be desirable in any case, the' compressing device being made to correspond with the spring or springs employed.

In any case inwhi'ch it is not desirable to a cam or curved surfaceor incline brought-into action by the movement of the axle or pivot for moving the" taper ring or collar orcomprcssing device or any equivalent therefor employed in a-holder' otE either of the forms provided according to this invention, or in which the aids or pivot is not movable for disengaging cones applied to the holder,- any suitable means for eX-- ampl'ea lever or'slide or collar moved in any convenient manner may be used for moving such tapered ring or collar or compressing device ore'quivalent either" in one direction orjin both directions as may be desirable.

As illustration of these modifications of lar n and the support 9 there is mounted on the shaft 8 a hand lever 10 provided with spiral surfaces 11' presented to corresp'ondf- =in'g spiral surfaces 12 termed on the support 9. Int-he usual position of rcs't the' hand lever 10 remains with the most prominent parts of the spiral surfaces 11 against the most deeply recessed parts of the spiral surfaces 12 of the support 9' and is wholly or nearly out of contact-with the collar n.

By the hand lever 10 being turned around the shaft 8 from the position'in which it is to the position in which it is shown in Fig. 8 and indicated in dotted lines in Fig 9 the collar a may be moved along the shaft 8 in opposition to the force of the spring at in order that the tapered split collar (1 may be moved toward the smaller end of the tapered part f and allowed to contract to release the cone 5." When a cone 6 is applled to the holder and is to be secured upon the holder the'hand lever 10 is moved or allowed to move back from the position in which it is shown in Fig. 8 and indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 9 to the position in which it is shown in Fig. 7 i and indicated by full lines in Fig. 9 and then the spring m forcing back the collar 42 draws the collar ct toward the larger endof the tapered part and causes it to engagethe c'one b as in the case of the holder shown in Figs; 1; 2, 3 and 4%.
