, Irtdriving the spindles of spinning, d'ou bling, twisting and like machines, it es} sential froni tiine to time as is well known to arre'st- .or stop the motions of said" spindles to enable the attendant to repair broken threads and pertorni other operations.

Under ordinary conditions d ring such stoppage the driving tape or band is continually running around and slipping oyer the surface of the pulley or wharle onthe driving spindle and thus causes great Wear and deterioration of said parts;

My present inventioncohsists the production of improv d nieans whe reby'l enabled to pernnt the wharle OI' ClIllVlIlg pulley inounted upontlie spindle to run loosely,

In the several parts hereunto annexed I. have shown only a portion of the spindle 2 as said spindle is of well known formation and forms no part of my invention.

This pulley 4;: as's'taftedl is supported byand runs loosely time.

Thus the rotary motions of said pulley which are transmit ted to it by the belt or tape 15 in'nnediately commence to revolve the disc 8 and as this disc 8 is thus revolved its inclined surfaces c. Sl ln fil pneredge oi the dr ving v '9 are caused to engage or come against the surface 7 against the surface 6 by which arrangernent I secure a drive which is practically positive although 1t 1s only secured by the friction surfaces described.

(l in connection with the-spindle 2,]out in this case the friction surfacefi is secured to the upper surface of the flange 4. on asleeve 4: whichhas a. toothed wheel 4 formed at itslower end; Thus the toothed wheel has its teeth of screw or helicalformation to nected thereto through the rodl. Theother parts of my devices as hereinbefore described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3 are the same and actin; the same manner in connection with the devices shown anddescrlbed by reference to Figs; ito 6'Uof the drawings as they do inthe former arrangement.

Such being the nature and objectfof my said invention, what I claimisse 1. The combination with a substantially verticalspindle ofa' spinning or like machine, of a driving member supportedon the spindle by means permitting it to. rotate relative to the spindle, a disc loosely surrounding the spindle above the driving memher and adapted to be rotated by frictional contact betweenits lower face and said memher, a collar securedto the spindle and engaged with said discto transmit powerfrom the driving member to the 'spindle as the disc rotates in either direction, the parts being so related asto permit movement ofthe disc longitudinally of the spindle-to discon-i nect thedisc from thedriving member with out disengaging it from said collar, means for rotating the drivingmember, and means independently movable long tudinally ofthe spindle for lifting the disc from frictional engagement with the driving member.

QrThe combination with a substantially vertical spindle of a spinning or like machine,of a collar secnredtothe spindle, a driving member; loosely surrounding the spindle and supported by said collar,a disc loosely surrounding the spindle above the driving member and having a depending hub extending into theupper end of the bore in the driving member, the adjacent faces of the disc and driving member being adapted to make frictional contact, "whereby the disc may be rotated by the driving mom her, a second collar secured to the spindle above the disc and having a serrated lowel face engaging the disc to transmit power to the spindle asthe disc rotatesin either direct10n,the, partsbeing sorelated that the disc may be moved from frictional engagement withthe driving member without at feoting itsoonnection with said second collar, means for rotating the drivingmember and means*forlifting the disc from engage ment with the driving member. a

3. The combination with a substantially vertical spindle of "a spinningor' like machine, of a driving member supported on the spindle by means permittingfsaid memher to rotate relative to the spindle, "a disc loosely surrounding the spindle abovethe driving member and adapted to be rotated by frictional cont-act with said member, a

collar secured to the spindle and engaged by said disc to. transmitpovver from the driving member to the spindle as the disc rotates in either direction, the parts being so related as to permit movement'of the disc on the spindle todisconnect the disc from the driving member without disengaging it from said collar, means for rotating the driving member, a forked lever havingits arms extending on oppositesides of the driving member beneath said disc, and meansfor rocking said leverto lift the disk from frictional engagement with the driving member.
