MACHINE FOR SPINNING FIBROUS MATERIAL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 344,170, dated June 22,1886.
Serial No. 60,140. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, \VILLIAM A. DELMAGE, of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Spinning Fibrous Material, of which the following is a specification.
My improvement relates to machines for spinning fibrous material; and its object is to prevent waste of oil from spinning machinery. I accomplish this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a front elevation of a portion of a spinning-frame provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is an end elevation, partly in section, with the supporting-frame removed.
The operating parts of the machinery employed are similar to those heretofore used in spinning machines. No extended description is therefore necessary.
I have discovered that the electricity generated by the friction of the belts and bands upon the pulleys which they run over can be utilized to preventt-he oil from leaving the points necessary to be lubricated.
I accomplish the object of retaining the oil upon the part requiring 1ubri ationas, for instance,thespindle-step-bythedevice shown in Fig. 2. in which A is the spindle; B, the step; 0, the \vhir, D the cylinder,- E, the band driving the spindle, and F an accumulator, consisting of a metallic strip or wire provided with one or more points placed close to the frictional surface of the cylinder and band, and terminating in a point brought close to the top of the step, and also close to the spindle at such place, and said step is also provided with the ground connection shown. The strip or wire, being insulated at all points from metal contact, when the machine is started will accumulate and receive the electricity from the belt or band and convey it through the step, to prevent the oil from being carried or rising up on the spindle and overflowing the step, as it is demonstrated by observation is the case. I attribute this to the fact that, owing to the change in the electrical conditions of the step and spindle near it, the floating fibers of cotton in the air cease to adhere to them as previously, and to carry or draw up the oil by capillary attraction out of the step-reservoir. The step may alsobe provided with a ground connection, G, independ ent of the ground -connection given other parts of the frame, if so desired. This connection is found to be of utility where a wooden step-rail is usedas, for instance, in mules.
As in other prior machines, I deem it. also advisable to employ accumulators H and K in proper electrical relations with the cylinder D and driving-belt, each having proper and direct groundconnections, J k. The ground-connections are easily made through the gas or water pipes. The accumulators are provided with many teeth or points to readily attract and take up the electricity.
My invention, while applicable to diflerent machines, is especially adapted for mule-spinning or other frames on which a fine, smooth, and even thread is to be produced.
\Vliat I claim as new and of my invention 1. The combination, with the driving-belt or band E, the wire F, and the lubricated hearing B, of the shaft or spindle A and an electrical ground-connection leading trom said bearing, substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a machine for spinning fibrous material, of a spindle, spindlebearing, and belt-driving pulley or cylinder with an accumulator adapted to receive the electricity generated by one portion of the machinery and convey it to the spindle at a point near the bearing, substantially as described.
IVILLI AM A. DELMAGE.
