Description
April 28, 1931- v A. R. MORRISON 1,803,201
REEL SWIFT BRACE Filed Nov. 27, 1929 Patented Apr. 28, 1931 PATEr rice ALBERT R. MORRISON, OF WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT REEL-SWIFT BIB-ACE Application filed November 27, 1929. Serial No. 410,177.
My present invention has reference to a device for the unwinding of skeins of silk, rayon, cotton, wool or other textile material, and is of the type commonly known among manufacturers as a swift.
Swifts are constructed of wood to include a hub having spaced pairs of spokes or pegs extending angularly therefrom and in the general construction there is wound around and connected to the pairs of spokes or pegs a small loop of string near the top of such spokes or pegs and around which the silk, rayon, is wound. This construction does not permit of the spreading of the material but rather bunches the same so that the same cannot be readily unwound from the swift and frequently results in the breakage of the skeins. It is, therefore, my primary object to provide cross members having yieldable spring means for connecting the same to the spokes of the swift and which members are arched outwardly so that the skeins of silk, etc., will be directed from the center to the sides thereof, the said means also having flanged ends to prevent the material from contacting with the pegs or spokes.
To the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the improvement hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a swift provided with the improvement.
Figure 2 is an end view thereof.
-Figure 3 is a side elevation of one of the 5 cross or connecting pieces for the spokes or pegs of the swift.
Figure 4 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Figure 3.
of Wood and includes a hub 1 from whose ends there radiate spokes or pegs 2. The spokes The swift, as usual, is constructed wholly;
indicated by the numeral 3. Each of the members 3 is arched, or in other words, is inclined in opposite directions from its center to its ends. The ends of each of the members 3, on the outer edge thereof, are formed 5 with an outwardly extending flange 4c and the said ends of the spacer and spreader members 3 have fixed thereon outwardly extending coil springs 5. These springs are designed to be arranged over the spokes or pegs 2 and to frictionally contact therewith so as to permit of the adjustment of the members 3 on the spokes. The members 3 are arched outwardly with respect to the hub of the swift and by such arrangement it will be apparent that the skeins of material wound therearound will be directed from the center to the flanged ends of the member 3 with the result that such material cannot become bunched or knotted and may be readily unwound from the swift. I
The simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be readily apparent but obviously I do not wish I to be restricted to the precise details herein set forth and, therefore, hold myself entitled to make such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scope of what I claim.
Having described the invention, I claim:
In combination with a swift which includes a hub having spaced pairs of radial pegs extending therefrom, of cross sectionally U- shaped outwardly arched members arranged between each pair of pegs, said members hav ing their ends formed with outwardly extending flanges, and coil springs fixed on the ends of the said members to be arranged over and to frictionally engage with the pegs of the swift.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature. 9o ALBERT R. MORRISON.
