The thread of the yarn 50 'is carried through jthe mouth 41 of the counterweight 42 on the outer end` of the arm andl thence through the looped guide 18. As the yarn is yiindertension the arm 40 is sustained and the iioating collar 38V is depressed with the result that the bolts vv37 are' engaged in recesses in the floating ring collar 48 is a spline key fixed inthe sleeve 23 and Working freely in the longitudinal slot 52 inthe lead screw mast. y44 is a spring claw fiXedvto lthe end of the bracket 14 and engaging thethreads on the screwmast21.

` The faceof the claw'44 is shaped and linished complementarily to the Vsurfa'ceof the f v lead screw in order to minimize friction and grooves 58 apply aY partial rotation yto' the Wear.

45 is a linger piece .by means` of Which the spring claw 44 may be disengaged from the screwed' spindle 21' to lallow'said spindle to Adrop by gravity to bottom.. or starting posi- '.tion.` 51" isa ringj i floatingfringB. K u The operation is as follows VThe lead of" arnfrom a skein or cop or jack bobbin being laid-through the mouth' 41 of .the counterweight 42 and thence through tlie'curl of theguide 18 islaid onto the lower part of the bobbin 10 in the usual Way forstarting up.r At this position the klead screw mast 2l is at-.bottom position, the claw 44 having beenreleased 'manually by pressing theV linger piece 45.y vAs the rail A12fcairying With fit the lbracket 14,."performs a vertical oscillatingv movement the tappet 32 at bottom stroke contacts' with' the 'striker plate 34 on the table 54; at eachcontact the feather pins 27, running up'V the helical sleeve 2 6. In the liftinginovement rotation of'the sleeve '26 is reversed.V During the positive movement of the sleeve26, the

' detent`teetli'35 are engaged with the detentteethon the floating ring 36Whicli is locked bythe slide bolts 37 to the sleeve 23. As owing to the tension on the yarn theA counterweight lever40 is lifted, the'collar 38 carrying `tliebolts 37 .is pushed downward; the result is that partialrotation is applied to the sleeve 23, and by means of the spline f key V48 this partialrotation is applied to the lead, screw mast 21. LAs the claw 44 is eIli gaged withithethreads ofthe mast 12111311@ bearing' supporting the tative movement has the effect of causing the mast 'tofclimb to a pre-determined,'distance, which is proportioned tothe speed of rotationoi` the spindle 11, so that the necessary at bottomzthrow; thetop. end ofy the sleeve close lay ofV theyarn on the Yloolobin` is obtained. In the upward movement of the angleeiron rail 12 the tappet arm 29 drops, and in the reverse movement of the sleeve 2G then produced, the detent teeth 35 ride freely over the mating detent teeth on the floating ring 36,. `sufficient'clearanceloeing allowed forthis purpose.'V Stepfby-step upward climb of the mast continuesl at every oscillation of the rail 12. Thebinding lay for securing the close laid lay is run' on during :the downward vmovement of the looped guide 18 and the angle-iron 'rail movement. 1f the yarn should break, the weight'42 being no, longer sustained byv its tension, drops to the positionshowninrFig. 3, and in dropping lifts ,thev collar 38, and the bolts 37 beingthus freed, the sleeve 23 is disengaged 36 and climbing movement is nolonger applied to the mast 21 and the loopedguide 18 Y remains in the position which it occupied at foreliecting a traverse of the yarn including an angle-iron ra.ila bracketv thereon, a guide post on said' bracket, a non-rotatable farmjslidable onthe guide post, a' looped vguide mounted on said arm, a vertically disposed rotatablescrewed mast suspended fro-iii the Vnon-rotated arm and disposed throughthe outer end of the bracket on the angle-iron rail, a collar mounted in said bracketan'd spliiied to the mast, a retractable 'claw' liXed on said bracket'engageable Vwith the lmast, ailielically slotted' sleeve clutched to saidco-llar V'anda tapped arm hung on said bracket coacting YWith the Vhelically slotted sleeve to effect partial rotation of the collar once in eachV oscillation lof the angle-iron rail.

A, cone Winder comprising abobbin Y spindle, an'a-ngle-ironrail, a bracket on said rail, va guide'. post onthe bracket, a nonrot-ating arm slidable on the post, a lead screw connected with the outer end of the' arm and disposed through the outer part of the bracket, a tubular sleeve rotatably mounted in said bracket, a spline for c0nnecting the sleeve to the screw, a second sleeve rotatable about the tubular sleeve and provided with a helical groove, a clutch for. effecting engagement between the sleeves and a tappet arm hung from the bracketv dependent for movement on the oscillation yof theHangle-ironv rail and acting through the helical groove to apply rotation of movement to th'e lead screw. y

4. In a cone Winder as claimed in claim 3, a counterpart clutch member having crown teeth engageable with the helically grooved sleeve and rotatable about the tubular sleeve and a locking device for e'ecting engagement of the clutch member With the` tubular sleeve including a gravity releasing l screw.
