'YARN-SEPARATOR FOR SPINNING 0R TWISTING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,811, dated November 18, 1890.

Application filed January 13,1890. Serial No. 336,732. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FLOYDYCRANSKA, of Moosup, in the county of lVindham and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Yarn-Separators for Spinning or Twisting Machines; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in separators for spinning or twisting frames adapted for use on the class of spinning or twisting frames in which the rings are secured to brackets projecting from the ring-rail; and it consists in the peculiar and novel construction and arrangement of the separators and their supporting devices, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure 1 is a front view of part of a spinning or twisting machine, showing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same. Fig. 3 is a top View of part of the ring-rail, showing two separators in section.

Similar numerals of reference indicate cor responding parts in all the figures.

In the drawings, the number at indicates one of the end frames of a spinning or twisting machine; 5, the bolster-rail, in which the spindle-bearing is secured; 6, the spindles; 7, the ring-rail proper, to which the forward-projecting brackets S, supporting the rings 9, are secured. Located between the brackets 8 are the thin plates 10, forming partitions to separate one spindle from the next adjoining spindles, so that any loose end on one spindle cannot interfere with the other spindles next to it. The partition-plates 10 are secured to the brackets 11, each consisting of a sleeve provided with the clamp-screw 13 and a projecting arm. The brackets are secured to the rod or shaft 12, journaled in the end frames and in long machines atintervals in bearings. At one or both ends of the shaft 12 a crank 14 (indicated in Fig. 2 in broken lines) is secured.

15 is a stop-pin projecting from the end frame.

The partition-plates or separators 10 may be of such length that they rest 011 the bolster-rail, or they may be of the length shown in the drawings, so as to protect the spindles between the upper and lower end of the traverse of the ring-rail. As shown in the drawings, the rear edge of the separator-plate 10 may rest against the ring-rail between the brackets 8, the ring-rail sliding on the rear edge of the separators. As all the separators are secured to the shaft 12, by turning the crank 14; one quarter all the separators Will be raised simultaneously, and all the spindles will be accessible for doffing.

hen it is desirable to suspend the separators, so that their rear edges will not bear on the reciprocating ring-rail, the stop-pin 15 is placed on one or both of the end frames and the cranlearm adjusted on the shaft 12, so that the said crank arm or arms bear against the stop-pin when the separator-plates 10 are close to but not in contact with the ring-rail 7.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a spinning or twisting machine, the combination, with the ring-rail 7, provided with the brackets 8 and rings 9, and the spindles, of the partitions 1.0, the brackets 11, and shaft 12, constructed to separate the rings and spindles, as described.

2. The combination, with the bolster-rail, the end frames, the spindles, and the rail 7, provided with the brackets 8 and rings 9, of the separator-plates 10, the brackets 11, the shaft 12, and crank let, constructed to raise the separator-plates, as described.

FLOYD CRANSKA.
