No. 224,058. Patented Feb. :5, 1 80.
[n Wee a w- HOGRAPHER, WASHINGTON n N, PETERS, PHOTO LIT 1 UNITED STATES I CORNELIUS VAN HOUTEN, OF BELLEVILLE, NEW JERSEY.
ROPE-TWISTING MACHINE,
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,058, dated February 3, 1889.
Application filed June 12, 1879. I, p ,r. a,
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CORNELIUS VAN HoU'r- EN, of Belleville, in the county of Essex, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Rope-Twisting Machines, of which the following is a Specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in rope-twisting machines; and it consists in a novel construction of the revolving frame employed to carry the bobbins, whereby the bobbins are arranged therein with their axes coincidentwith the axis of the revolving frame.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan of a revolving frame constructed with my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on line 00 m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view of the twisting-die E.
My improvements relating solely to the construction andarrangementof the bobbin-frame and bobbins, I have shown none of the other parts of a rope-machine in connection therewith.
The object of niy invention is to dispense with geared spool-holders operated by cranks or cog-wheels, and sometimes by gravity in cases where the twisting of the several parts of each strand is not objectionable, as in laying up the initial cords for small ropes of wire or fibrous materials; and I therefore arrange the bobbins A A in. the axis of the revolving frame 0, (which gives the twist to the cord 0,) supporting them in that position by a removable arbor, B, which passes through the heads of the frame 0, and can be readily withdrawn at any time to insert or remove the bobbins, as desired.
The frame 0 is provided with hollow journals D at the ends, through one of which the arbor B is inserted, and through the other the wire thread or cord is conducted to the twisting-die E.
The journals D revolve in bearings F, secured to a bed, G, and one of them is'provided with a pulley, H, near its bearing, to drive the frame 0 for twisting the cord.
The twisting-die may be formed as a part of one of the journals D; but for facility of renewal and repair, I have shown it in the drawings as secured to the front of the pulley H, which is arranged upon the extremity of one of the journals. Such dies being in general use, it will be understood that in such a position it can be readily removed by taking out the screws 6' e, and a larger or smaller one substituted, if desired. I
A laying-guide would be used to lead the several strands together and a winding-drum to draw the cord from the revolving frame; but as my invention does not relate to them in any manner they are not shown in the drawlngs.
A bobbin may be supported upon the bed G in the rear of the frame 0, to furnish the strand or thread a to form the middle of the cord,
and the strand 0, is shown conducted through the entire length of the arbor B (which is made hollow-for that purpose) to the hollow journal at the other end, and through the center of the die E to form the core of the cord 0. The tie-bars of the frame 0 extend outside of the bobbins A, parallel with the arbor B, and are provided with eyes d; which lead the strands from the several spools to the head of the frame next the die E, into which they pass through thehollow journal of the frame.
Instead of the bobbin I outside of the frame A, one of the bobbins in the frame may be used to furnish the central strand for the cord by leading the same from its eye d through a hole in the side of the hollow arbor B, and
thence to the twisting-die; but I prefer the arrangement shown, as the bobbin-frame would require to be larger if the spool Lwere placed inside. a
Any number of bobbins'A A may be arranged in a frame made of suitable length, the arbor B being madelong enough, if desired, for each spool to move endwise aproper amount as the wire or thread is drawn from different parts of its surface.
In the smallest machines I find no need for the spools to move endwise.
From the above description it will be seen that the essential feature of my invention is the arrangement of the spools upon the axial line of the frame O, a removable arbor being used to retain them in that position until their In testimony that I claim the foregoing I contents are exhausted, when others may be have hereto set my hand this 11th day of readily inserted by withdrawing the arbor. June, 1879.
I olaim 5 The combination of the revolving frame 0, GORS. VAN HOUTEN.
provided with hollow journals at the ends, with the twisting-die, secured to one extremity Witnesses: of the frame, and the removable arbor B, in- W, D. BREATH, troduced at the other extremity of the frame, THos. S. CRANE.
10 substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
