GODDARD, OF SAME PLACE.

YARN- SPECIFICATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 92,428, dated JanuaiyV 22, 1864.

t '"Application filed March26, 1883. (No model.) V I 1'" o @ZZ whom it may concern,.- l Be it known that I, GEORGE LAYNG, `of Worcester, in the county of Worcester' and VState of Massachusetts, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Yarn-Reels;

and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and. use; the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a yarnreel provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same. Fig.'3 is a detail view of one of the bars of the reel, and Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

My invention has relation to yarn-reels;

and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of the longitudinal bars forming the reel, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates a yarn-reel, which may be of any desired construction; and B, the bars forming the circumference of the reel. These bars are preferably made of wood, and a flat metallic bar, C, is fastened to one of the sides of each of the bars B, and raised a short distance out from the side of the bar by means of blocks D, of somewhat less width than the metallic b ar, and the screws E, which secure the metallic bars to the wooden bars, pass through these blocks into the wood, securing the blocks at the same time. Aseries of metallic slides, F, having downward and inward bent edges G, slide upon these bars, and are adjustably secured upon them by means of thumb-screws H, which pass through the middle iiat portion, I,of the slides, While the blocks D, beingas much na-rrowerthan the metallic bars as the width of the inward-bent edges G, allow the slides to be slid upon the bars the full length of the same. The outward-facing edges of these plates are provided with sockets J, extending nearly up to the outer edges of the wooden bars, and bent metallic `pins or rods their bent ends pointing in any desired direc- K are inserted into these sockets. The inner ends of these pins are split, as shown at L, and spread somewhat apart,so that the springi-` ness of the metal will cause the split ends to bear against the sides of the sockets, keeping the pins in whatever position they are placed in the same. These pins serve to separate the several hanks or skeins of yarn wound upon the reel, the pins being slightly bent at their outer ends, so as to allow the yarn to slide down into its .place when striking the pin while it is being wound. A gage or scale, M, is cut into or marked upon the outer surface of the metallic bars, so that all the pins may be adjusted upon the bars at equal distances and in a perfect line, thus avoiding the trouble 6 common in reels of the usual construction, in

which the pins are inserted in a series of holes in the outer sides of the wooden bars, of the yarn slipping over the pins into another hank while winding it, if the pins should be slightly out of the true line. By having this scale the pins may also be accurately adjusted to their desired relative distances, according to the yarn or number of strands required. In this manner it will be seen that the pins may be eX- actlyadj usted by their slides to any number and size of hanks desired, each row of pins around the reel standing in a true line, and that the pins may be adjusted in their sockets with 8o tion by the springiness or elasticity of their split ends.

Havingthus described my invention, Iclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 8- 1. The combination of a longitudinal reelbar with a metallic bar secured upon the side of the reel-bar, blocks fastened upon the side of the reel-bar and raising the metallic bar from the same, and slides having inwardlybent clamping-edges, securing thumb-screws, andl hank-separating pins, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

2. The combination of a longitudinal reelbar with a metallic bar fastened to and raised 4from the side of the reel-bar, slides having sockets in their outer ends,

and clamping-edges, securing thumb-screws,

and hanksepa'rating pins, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

3. The combination of a longitudinal reelbar with a metallic bar secured to the side of the same, adjustable slides having sockets at their outer ends, and bent hank-separating pins having inner split and spread ends7 as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

4. The combination of a longitudinal reclbar with a metallic bar secured to the side of said bar, slides having sockets in their outer ends, and bent clamping edges, securing thumb-screws, and bent bank-separating pins having split and spread ends, as and for the D purpose shown and set forth.

5. rlhe combination of a longitudinal reelbar with a metallic bar fastened upon its side and having a gage marked upon it, blocks secured between the reel-bar and the metallic bar, slides having sockets at their ends, and bent clamping-edges, securing thumb-screws, and hank-separating pins having split and spread ends, as and for the purpose shown andset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE LAYN G.
