SPINNING-RING AND HOLDER THEREFOR.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 246,646, dated September 6, 1881. Application filed July 9, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. WATTLEs, of Oanto'n,'of the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement .in Spinning-Rings and Holders Therefor; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following v specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a top view, and Fig. 2 a transverse section, of a ring and its holder provided with my invention. Fig. 3 is a bottom view ofthe ring and its removable bushing. Fig. 4t is a top view, Fig. 5 a bottom view, and Fig. 6 a transverse section, of the ringholder. Fig. 7 is a transverse section of the removable bushing.

With spinning-frame rings the wear of the race by the traveler is mostly, if not entirely, contined to the inner flange of the race, such being due to the centrifugal force generated in the traveler whilein rapid revolution around the race. A ring after having become too much worn or so reduced was generally considered as useless, or as so much waste material, until 1 made the invention described in the United States Patent No. 199,604, dated January 22, 1878.

My present improvement has reference to that of. the said patent-that is, to a spinningframe ring constructed with astationary partial or semi race, and provided with a removable bushing, provided with either one or two partial or semi races. the nature of my invention being duly set forth in the claims hereinafter presented.

In the drawings, the ring A is shown as oylindrical 011 its inner periphery, and provided at top with a partial or semi race, a, and at bottom with a flange, 1), whose outer circumference is circular, but eccentric to the race or to the inner periphery of the ring, such ring having within it a removable bushing, B, provided with either one or two partial or semi races, 0 d, arranged as represented. The bushingB is retained within the ringA by friction, the bushing having a close lit to the ring.

The ring-holder shown atG is a flanged annulus, whose bodyfis cylindrical, and is cocentric with respect to the flange 9, there being in such body a cross-cut, h, to render the holder compressible. W'ithin the body are two rabbets, 2' and k, formed as shown, the upper of them being to receive the ring A and the I lower of them being to receive and hold an auxiliary bushing, D, like the bushing B. After the latter bushing may have become worn, so as to render necessary its removal from the ring, such may be done, and the two bushings may be caused to change places-that is, the auxiliary bushing may be put in the ring and the worn bushing in the holder or the lower rabbet thereof. The upper rabbet is eccentric with respect to the lower one, though of a diameter to correspond to that otthc bottom flange of the ring.

By having the ring and its holder constructed in manner as described, adjustment of the ring in the holder, and the latter in the ring-rail to bring the rail into conceutricity with the spindle, can easily be eii'ected by sufficiently turning the ring around in the holder, and the latter in its socket in the rail. With the cross-cut in the ring-holder the latter, when acted on by its confining-screw of the ring-rail, will be clamped on the ring, as well as held in place in the rail.

I do not herein claim a spinning-frame ring constructed with a stationary partial or semi race and a socket for reception of a removable bushing having a single partial or semi race, or two of such. Nor do I herein claim such a bushing.

\Vhat I claim as my present invention is as follows:

1. The ring A, having the partial or semi race a and the eccentric flange 1), arranged substantially as set forth.

2. The combination ofa spinning-frame ring, A, having a partial or semi race. a, at top, an eccentric flange, b, at bottom, and a cylindrical inner periphery, with a removable bushing, B, made to tit within the ring, and provided with two partial or semi races arranged with it, as represented.

3. The annular compressible ring-holder, provided with the supporting-flange and with the body eccentricon its outer periphery therewith, and with the ring-holdingrabbet, as described, in combination with the removable ring-bushing and the ring, having partial or semi races, all being substantially as set'l'orth.
