Description
UNITED STATES PATENT Crrrca LUTHER HIGBY, OF BELLEVILLE, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT lN ROPE AND CORDAGE MACHINES.
Specification forming part of letters Patent No. 158,491, dated January 5, 1875; application filed June 30, 1874.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LUTHER E. HIGBY, of Belleville, Essex county and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Machines for Making Hope and Cord; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a side view of my invention, partly in section 5 and Fig. 2, a crosssection upon the line a; m, Fig. 1.
My invention relates to the construction of a machine for making wire and other ropes or cords; and it consists in gearing a revolving "reel within a twisting-frame by means of a perpetual screw or other gear, by which the rope or cord is taken up from each end of the machine just as fast as it is properly twisted,
the feed being regulated by the twist.
In the drawings, A represents a frame suitably constructed to contain my device. J ournaled in frameA are the hollow bearings B, which carry the spinning-frame (J, driven by the drivingpnlley D. Within this spinning-frame G is journaled the reel E, revolving at right angles to the axis of the spinning-frame (l. Said reel E is divided in the middle by a cogwheel, F. 0n eitherside of the spinning-frame- O are hung, in projecting arms g, the shafts G, carrying a perpetual screw, H, which engages the cog-wheel F. These shafts G have pinions at the ends, which engage cog-wheels I, permanently secured to the frame A.
The operation of my machine is as follows Power having been applied to the drivingpulley I), the spinningframe O is made to revolve at a given rate of speed. As the shafts G are journaled in the spinning-frame G, and as they have pinions at their ends, which engage the stationary cog-wheels I, the motion communicated to the spinning-frame G will cause the shafts to revolve, and the perpetual screw upon said shafts, engaging the cog-wheel 1*, will give the reel E a relative motion to the spinning-frame. Upon either side of the frame A, through a proper number of holes, pass the strands of a rope or cord, which, all uniting in another hole, form the rope in the usual manner. The rope, after being formed, and while it is being twisted, passes along through the hollow bearings B, and is being Wound upon its proper end of the reel, the rope passing in at the opposite hollow bearing being at the same time wound upon the other end of the reel.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A double rope-twisting machine, constructed substantially as described, by which the strands are fed in at each end and twisted relatively as they are drawn in by and Wound upon a single reel.
2. The combination of the spinning-frame O, stationary wheels I, revolving shafts G, perpetual screws H, and reel E, substantially as described.
The above specification of my invention signed and witnessed, at Newark, this 15th day of June, A. D. 1874.
LUTHER Er HIGBY.
