TOP-ROLL SADDLE.

Specification il ts a Patented June 10, 1919.

Application filed August 21, 1918. Serial No. 250,855.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EZRA DIXON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bristol, in the county of Bristol and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Top-Roll Saddles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in top roll saddles, and the primary object thereof is to provide means of connection between the front and back saddles, which will require that the saddles be first held in angular relation and then be relatively rotated, in order to connect and disconnect the saddles so as to alter the position of the back saddle.

The invention in brief proposes to provide a worm-like connection between the two saddles, necessitating that the latter be held in a slight angular relation and then a number of rotations imparted preferably to they front saddle in order to connect and disconnect same, to thereby enable the position of the back saddle to be altered or reversed.

In the drawings 1 Figure 1 is a side elevation of the inven tion partly broken away and in section, and applied to a spinning machine, the latter being shown in fragment.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the two saddles, and

Fig. 3 is a rear end elevation.

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention, the front saddle 1 which rides on the front roll 2 is formed with a rearwardly extending shank 3 terminating in a worm, spiral, or gimlet-like part 4, the latter extending in offset relation to the bottom of the shank 3.

The back saddle 5 is adapted to ride either on the back roll 6 or the middle roll 7 and has suitable roll straddling means 7 on its bottom and on its top is provided with an upstanding arm 8 which latter is perforated or apertured at 9. The circular wall resulting from the perforation 9 is smooth and unthreaded.

In connecting the saddles the latter are held in substantially the angular position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and then worm or gimlet has its pointed or free end 10 introduced in the aperture 9 of arm 8 following which the front saddle is rotated causing the worm to move through the apsmooth and unthreaded it will be apparent that the gimlet or worm may be easily passed through the aperture and in addition there are no threads subject to being stripped or mashed. The worm itself is relatively large and its convolutions are not subject to being stripped or mashed. The diameter of the gimlet or worm is greater than that of the aperture 9, which necessitates the angular relation of the parts above mentioned in connecting the same, and which assures the parts being held against accidental separation when in the full line position shown in the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. In a top roll saddle, a front saddle and a back saddle, said front saddle having a rearwardly extending shank provided with a worm or gimlet-like terminal, and an apertured arm borne by the back saddle to receive said worm or gimlet-like terminal and having its said aperture of less diameter than that of the worm or gimlet-like terminal and the walls defining the aperture smooth.

2. In a top roll saddle, a front saddle and a back saddle, an apertured arm borne by the back saddle, and a worm or gimlet-like part on the front saddle engageable in the aperture of the arm.

3. In a top roll saddle, a front saddle and a back saddle, an apertured arm borne by the back saddle, and a worm or gimlet-like part on the front saddle engageable in the aperture of the arm, said aperture having its defining wall smooth.

l. In a top roll saddle, a front saddle and a back saddle, an apertured member borne by one saddle and having the wall defining a back saddle, and connecting means bename to this specification in the presence tween the saddles formed so as to requlre of two subscrlbmg wltnesses. relatlve angular posrtlonlng of the saddles and then a number of rotations of one sad- EZRA DILON' dle With respect to the other to connect and WVitnesses: V disconnect same.
