SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,623, dated February 20, 1883.

Application filed November 17, 1882. (No model.) l

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, EDWIN BARTON, of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Winding Oops, Quills, Bobbins, Src., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to machines made use of for winding cops, quills, or bobbins, and

1o more particularly to that class shown and described in my application for Letters Patent tiled October 13, 1882, and the serial number ot' which is 74,194; and the object of the invention is to provide avery simple means I5 whereby the spindles will be automatically stopped when the cop, quill, or bobbin is tinished.

The invention consists in the combination, with a hollow stationary bolster or sleeve and a 2o whirl capable of rotating thereon, of a spindle adapted to slide through the bolster or sleeve and whirl, but fitting the whirl with a square or otherwise, so as to be rotated therewith, and mechanism for acting directly upon the spindle to raise the latter. As the cop, quill, or bobbin is built up the spindle is raised until it or its square or equivalent portion is raised above the whirl, whereupon the rotation ceases, and the cop, quill, or bobbin is iinished.

The invention also consists in the combination, with the above-described bolster or sleeve, whirl, and spindle, of a push or step piu capable of sliding within the bolster or sleeve, and

' upon which the spindle is supported, and

' mechanism for raising the said pin and with it the spindle which it supports. The means employed to raise the push or step pin may consist ot' a shaft and a cam having a frictional engagement therewith, and upon the 4o periphery of which the said pin rests, and which is provided with a stop adapted to come in contact with said pin, and thus terminate the movement of the cam, while the shaft continues its rotation unchecked, which it is free to do by reason of the frictional engagement of the cani with it. In the accompanying drawings,Figurel represents a sectional elevation of such parts of a quilling-machine as are necessary to illustrate 5o my invention, the spindle being shown in its lowest position; and Fig.2 represents a partlysectional elevation thereof, the spindle being shown as raised entirely out of the whirl.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.

A designates the bolster-rail, and B the spiudie-rail, of the machine.

O designates the spindle, on which is placed the cop, quill, or bobbin D, which is wound in conical layers, commencing at the upper end. 6o

E designates the whirl, around which'the driving-band is placed, and which fits outside of or over a sleeve or bolster, l?, which is secured in the rail A, as here shown, by a nut,

c, and which is prolonged considerably below the said rail. Vhen thewhirl is thus mounted the pull of the driving-band has no tendency to bend the spindle. The lower end of the spindle O is shown as square and tits in a hole ot' corresponding shape in the whirl E. Oon- 70 sequently the spindle is caused to turn with the whirl, although it may slide freely up and down in the wh rl. The sleeve or bolster F is bored out sufficiently large so that the spindle may both turn therein and slide freely up and down.

In the sleeve or bolster F is a push-pin or step-pin, Gr, which is capable of sliding freely therein, and upon the upper end ot' which the lower end ofthe spindle O rests, the pin being 8O here shown as pointed at its upper end, which slightly enters the end ofthe spindle, and thereby maintains the spindle and pin inline.

H designates a shaft arranged below the row of spindles, and havingl secured upon ita snail-cam, I, on the periphery ot' which the push or step pin G rests. The cam has a frictional engagement ,with its shaft. As here shown, it is provided with a socket, I', wherein may be placed a piece or pad, S, ot' leather 9o or other suitable material, which is forced against the shaft with the desired pressure by a screw, I2, as shown in Fig. 2. Such a tleym of friction device is well known. The cam I is provided at its point of greatest projection with a lip, b, which is adapted to come in contact with the pin Gr as the cam rotates. When the cop, quill, or bobbin D is commenced the spindle is in its lowest position, as shown in Fig. 1, with the pi-n Gr resting on the part of the roo periphery ofthe cam which is of least projection. As the conical layers ofthe cop, quill, or

bobbin are wound the push-pin G and its superposed spindle C are raised by the step-by-step rotation of the shaft H and cam I until the cop, quill, or bobbin is finished, at which time the spindle is raised entirely clear of the whirl,

as shown in Fig. 2, and its rotation ceases. The lip or stop b thereupon comes in contact with the pin G and the motion of the cam I is arrested, while the shaft H continues to advance to. raise the other spindles of' the machine. After the finished cop, quill, or bobbin has been taken oli' and a new one subst tnted on the spindle the cam I is turned back by hand to the position shown inFig.1, wherebythe spindle is allowed to fall into the whirl, whereupon it will be rotated, as before described.

In lieu of the spindle and the hole in the whirl being square, they might be of' any other form which would insure the spindle rotating with the Whirl.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a hollow stationary bolster or sleeve and a whirl capable of rotating thereon, of the spindle adapted to slide through the bolster or sleeve and the Whirl, but fitted to the whirl, so as to be rotated therewith, and mechanism for acting directly upon the spindle to raise it through the whirl, substantially as and for the purpose herein de,- scribed.

2. The combination, with a hollow stationary bolster or sleeve and a whirl capable of rotating thereon, of a spindle adapted to slide through the bolster or sleeve and the whirl, but fitted to the whirl, so as to be rotated therewith, a push or step pin on which the spindle lis supported and which slides in the bolster or sleeve, and mechanism for raising the push or step pin and its superposed spindle, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.

3. The combination ofthe sliding spindle C, the whirl E, the stationary hollow bolster or sleeve -F, the sliding push or step pin G, the shaft H, and the cam I, having` a frictional engagement therewith, substantially as herein described.

4. The combination of the sliding spindle C, the whirl E, the stationary hollow bolster or sleeve F, the sliding push or step piu G, the shaft H, and the cam I, having frictional engagement with said shaft, and also havin, r the stop b forcoming in Contact with said pin to arrest the cam, substantially as herein described.
