Application filed November 5, 1881. (No model.) Patented in England August 9, 1880, No. 3,243; in Germany February 18, 1881, l

.To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, ENOCH HIRD, ofBolton, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented an Improvement in Spinning and Doubling Machines, of which the following is a specification.

, The invention will first be described in oonnectiou with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figures 1, 2, 3, 4. of the drawings are vertical sections, showing the relative construction and arrangement of the parts. Figs. 5, 6 are side elevations ot' the same.

In the drawings, A represents the step-rail, B the bolster-rail, M the traverse-rail, K a hier, and Df'the spindle, all of which may be ot' the ordinary or suitable construction.

E is an elongated bolster, secured to the bolster-rail by means of a sleeve, B', having a ange, b', and nut E', as shown in Fig. 1.

Attached to the traverserail M by a dan ged and threaded sleeve, E2, and anut, E4, is a bobbin-tnbe, l?, surrounding the bolster E, provided with a packing, F, at its upper end, the bobliiu-tube P supporting and carrying the bobbin, and provided near its top and bottom with the loose collars o o, which are secured in place in 4grooves in the bobbin-tube by means of the sleeve E2 and washer p, re-

spectively, the said washer being shrunken on 3o which is supported either on the anged sleeve 3 5 E2 or traverse-rail M, whereas in Figs. 4 and 5 the lower of said collars is provided with a flange, o', for supporting said bobbin, this last construction being preferred when fragile yarns are to be spun, as the draft on the same 4o is thereby reduced to a minimum. the bobbin-tube P extends below the traverse rail M, and \is provided with a nut, E3, at its lower end.

In Fig. 2

What I claim as new and of my inventionl45 The combination, with the bolster-rail B, traverserail M, elongated bolster E, and spindle D, of the bebbin-stand having the nut E3 at the lower end, the loose collars o o, the washer 5o 10, shrunk on the top of'stand, the sleeve having nut E', and ianged sleeve E2, as and for the purpose specified.
