Tynan, of

' Paterson in the. county of Passaicand State of New Jersey, have invented ail- Improvement in Doubling and \Vinding Machines, .of which the following is a specification.

, 'Thisimprovement'is empleyed in doublin and winding silk. Diiiicultyhas, heretofore arisen at the time the machine stops when a thread breaks,

'because the momentum of causes them to cont nue to liable to twist together,

or to Wind around the creel-pins,

or otherwise to become displaced, f of Valuable material,

. In lpublingandyvindin sa twen-t -tw0 threads, it is usual to wind live threads at" a time upon spools, and then totake four of such spools, and one spool with two threads wound upon it, and bring these threads all together and wind them upon another spool, thus making six winding operations, The result is that the work is imperfect, the threads are not all of the same length, and some have been laid up with more tension than others, and in case of breakage, or' in joining up in the last winding, the knots are large and valuable material is wasted, 0

In my improved machine only one operation is performed in doubling and win'dingpwhatever number of threads maybe required. Each same tension, and as the threads are exhausted one after another upon the supply-spools other spools are supplied,

without any large knots,'and very little mate machine is stopped as soonas any thread breaks, so that it"can be hence a given quantity of work can less cost than heretofore, and of a better quality. v In'myimproved machined employ diverging crcel-bars, arranged so that a large nnniberof spools or bobbins can be 'heldgbythe s;,:me, and the threads ,draw 0E parallel, or

s'or r'uns; A I,

. The bobbins a are upon the creelpins b,

that project from the bars A A. These bars A A diverge, as seen in Fig. 4, so that the threads may be drawnoif the spools or bobbins a a nearly parallel to each other, and be led overthe roller. d-and bar 0, and nnder'the roller f, and up through the thread-guide B, to the take-up spool D. .The rollers '12 and f s ereel-pin and thefastening for retainingthe l revolve by the action ofthe threads,and make ismoved forward the same or nearly the same distance as the surfaces of the rollers travel.

' The threadguidc B has above or below it a brush, a,

I the winding very uniform, because each thread of numerous fibers or hairs, projecting from the rod 0. The threadsas they pass through between these hairs greater or less extent by thread breaks it will not spring and fly up to the take-up spool D, but will be held by the brush 0, so that the thread will be more easily fonndand joined up by'th'e' attendant. The rod 0 is supported in snitableguideaand' reare held to a them; hence when a oeives an end movement in any usual manner,

so that theguideB causes'thethreadsltowind] and "has fastened to it 1, and loosely. fitted onsaid shelliisthe' evenly along'upon the bobbin D'asit is rehavingeonnectedtherewith ihepulley f, said sleeve having teeth f for engagement with the teeth 9 upon the collar 9. 1 Said sleeve F has a circumferential groove to receive the projecting ends of the arms of the forked lever G, which lever is pivoted upon and supported by the rail M, and said sleeve is moved by this lever to engage the teeth of said sleeve with the teeth of the collar 9, and cause the rotation of the sleeve and pulley with the shaft- E, or to disengage the said sleeve and pulley from said collar and shaft. The devices for moving this forked lever G are hereinafter described.

From the pnlleyfan endless belt, k, passes t0 the pulley Hupon thespindle h of thetakeup spool D by which the same is rotated. One end of this spindle it enters the tubular hearing Land is held therein by the end of a screw, 1",entering a peripheral groove in said spindle. The spindle, however, is free to be revolved. The bearing 1' is upon an arm extending out from the disk I.-, that is pivoted to the standard k, and thepivot is in line with the pulley II of the spindle 11, so that the spindle and arm can be swung into the position shown in Fig. 10,to allow the spool or bobbin D to be passed upon the spindle or withdrawn from the same without changing the tension of the belt 1; materially. There is a pin at 21 upon the standard 1;, and a projection. 22, upon the disk It, for limiting the swinging movement of the spindle I1.

W hen turned down horizontally, the outer end of the spindle h is received into the forked hearing at the end of the arm G, which also serves to retain the spool or bobbin upon the spindle. I

The take-up spool D is placed at some distance above the rollerf and the shaft l5 and pulley f, in order that the threads passing from rollerj to spool 1) may be plainly in sight; hence when one breaks it is'more easily discovered and mended, and there is time for the winding apparatus to be stopped automatically before the end oi'thc broken thread reachesthe spool l) and is wound thereon.

lhc iiiller i'rame L is stationary, and it is supported bythe rail or bar 1) One side of the litllcr-frame is made as a comb or slotted, for the re eption of the lhller-wires Z. Each taller-wire is made with a hook at one end to catch over the thread,and with a pivot-eye at the other end,throngh which the wire 2 passes.

Hem-dill the taller-flame is the balanced stop- 3 at the ends of the cross-piece seeu re the same to the fuller-frame. At the end of the stoplever, beneath the fuller-wires, is a pivot, i, by which the fingers n are attached to the stoplevcr. These fingers a extend out beneath the fuller-wires, so that if a thread breaks its fallerwire drops upon one of the fingers and moves the balanced stop-lever; but the fingers can be swung around on their pivot 4, so as to allow either taller-wire to hang down out of the way, as indicated by dotted lines, Fig. 1, the fingers being afterward turned back to place. This liberator is moved endwise by one of them, and

lever N, in the form of a cross, and the pivots adjust the brake-pin endwise. The weight 0' allows for easily lowering and throwing out of action or raising again one or more of the faller-wires, according to the number of threads to be doubled and wound.

The cord or chain 0 is attached to one arm of the forked lever G, and passes overthe pulley 0 to the weight 0, p is a spring-latch,-

that holds the forked lever in its normal position, and q is a cord attached to the forked .lever and passing around the pulley r, by

means of which the forked lever can be drawn to its normal position; and latched by springlatch p, the weight 0 being simultaneously raised.

Upon the stoplevcr N there is a sliding liberator, a, the same being slotted for the attaching-screw6, and havinga guide-pin and lpring at 8, by which the toe 9, at the other end of the liberator, is kept toward the sleeve F of the pulleyf'. Upon this slceveFarc tnppets 10, that revolve close to the end of the toe 9, but do not touch the same when the parts are in their normal position; but if the balanced c stop'levcr N is moved by the breaking of a thread and the descent of one of the fullerwires, or by other means, the toe 9 is brought up into the path of the tappets 10, and the 5 said liberator presses against a pin 6n the spring-latch p, and moves said latch,allowing the weight ato move the forked lever G and slipthe sleeve 1 out of contact with the collar g, and the pulley f 'stops instantly. This causes the take-up spool to stop, and it also applies a brake to each of the creel-bobbins,

as hereinafter described, so that their inertia will not cause such creel-bobbins to revolve and unwind the th reads. The same movement of the forked lever G and disengagement of the sleeve F and pulley f from the drivingshaft is produced it the take-upapool hecgmes full, for I apply upon the rail R a spool-stop lever, t, pivoted at 15 to a bracket. It, on the rail R, and to the rear end of said stop-lever is attached a cord or wire, t, which is also attached to the back end of the stop-lever N, no that as soon as the take-up spool becomes Inf: ficiently full for the thread to touch the end of the spool-stop lever and carry it down the hack cnd will be mised,and the balanced stoplever N lifted to bring the toe of the liberntor into the path of the tappets 10, and cause the forked lever G tobc freed from the spring: catch, and thereby stop the machine. Parallel with the creel-bars A are the brakebars R, which are pivot-ed at t" t to bracketsextending from the bars A, no that they may be rocked upon such pivots. In these bars, opposite the base of each creel-bobbimil a hole receiving the brake-pin u, the inner portion of which is reduced in size to receive around it the spring u, and u is a nut by which to 1 0 is connected to the hentlever amounted upon the pivot 11; and 1: is a link having an L- shaped slot for a screw or pin in the upper end of lever v.

and link if more the rocking brake-bars ll liberate the brakes from the spools, so that 6 is brought into action by said balanced w w are lever-arms extending from the rock ing brake-bars R, and connected to the link r".

lVheu the forked lever G is released and the weight 0 descends, as aforesaid, the lever by the arms in and press the brake-pins i: into eontactwith the respective creel-bobbins,stopping them instantly and preventing the bobbins froni'rcvolving by their momentum and unwinding the threads. As soon as the atteudant pulls upon the cord 102, the link a is raiscd,and the some is free to go forward and the'broken thread can be seir'ed and drawn off fieely and joinednp, as usual, and as soon as this'is done, or a ncwcreel'bobbin inserted in place of an exhausted one, the machine is startedby drawing upon the cord r as before. stated, and restoring the parts to their normal msitions,

it will be apparent that my improvement is available. with any des red number of supply spools c r bobbins, and that with a small number-they may be in. one range.

In doubling and winding it is usual to place the spools or supply bobbins upon creel-pins; hence the holes in the bobbins speedily wear largo from the revolution of the bobbins as they, unwind, and the bobbins being of wood wear unequally, and the dhrcads -'are often broker: by the rreg'ular movement of the bobbin in unwinding unless the machine is run at a low speed.

i make use ol'a tubular sleeve, a, upon each creel-pin. The same fits into the hole in the bobbin and revolves with it, thus preventing wear upon the bobbin. There is a head or hook cd end to each creelnn, so that the t-ubir lar sleeve is retained when the spool is drawn oh. ifiach creel-pin has a stop, to, at its outer end for holding the bobbin in placc.' 'lhis stop is removable, so that the spool or bobbin can be placed on or taken oil the creel-pin. It is preferable to employ the slotted slop shown in Figs, 4 and b when the sleeve a is used; but if this sleeve is not employed then the i'orlccd stop with a prong to enter a hole in the creel-pin, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, may be used.

This machine will usually be made double, there being the same parts applied at eachside of the frame and the shafts ll li" geared together.
