UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEO BLANEY E. SAMPSON, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO HIM- SELF AND GEORGE N. TROVVBRIDGE, OF ROLLINSFORD, N. H.

IMPROVEMENT IN BEARINGS FOR FLIERS OF SPINNING-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent- No. 45,300, (lated November 29, 1864.

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, BLANEY E. SAMPsoN, of Boston, in the county ot' Suffolk and State ot' Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flier-Beari n gs; and I do hereby declare the same to he fully described in the following specification, and rep resented in the accompanying drawings, of which- I Figure l denotes a vertical section of a iiier and its spindle, having my improve- I ment applied to the bearing of the former. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3, a horizontal section, of the dier-neck bearing.

My improvement consists in the application of a green or raw hide collar, or its equivalent, within and to the flier-neck bearing substantially in manner as hereinafter specied, the purpose of the said collar being to el'ect not only a saving of oil or lubricating material l used on the iierfneck, but a consequent economy in wear upon, and in the power employed to revolve the flier.

In the drawings, A denotes a spindle, and B the iiier of a spinning-machine, C heilig the whirl of the er. D is the spindle or movable rail, while E and F are the stationary or lier rails. Gis the neck ot' the flier, and H the bearing of such neck. This bearing is a cylindrical screw-nut, which is screwed upward into the ier-rail F, and for the pur pose of being so aliixed to such rail it is made with a screw, a, and a shoulder, b. The bore I or the interior of the said bearing H is provided with an annular chamber, c, for the reception of an annular or tubular green or raw hide collar, d. In order to enable the said collar to be inserted in the said annular chamber, the neck-bearing II is constructed with an opening or passage, e, leading' latera-lly out ot' the chamber and through the bearing, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. It is through the said opening that a strip ot' hide having a transverse section corresponding to that of the opening is pushed endwise, and into and around in the chamber until the end so introduced shallbe caused to abut against the strip. A cylindrical pin is next driven into the chamber in a lnanner to spread the strip of rawhide and set it irml y into the chamber or against the circumference thereof, after which the strip is to be cut oli' in the passage e, or at or near the outer extremity thereof. The part of the strip which will remain within the passage will prevent the collar from revolving within the chamber while the filer maybe in revolution.

The rawhide collar is much more durable than a metallieone, and causes the machinery to run with much less noise and vibration.

I claim.-

1. The application of the green hide collar, or its equivalent, to theflier-neck bearing in the manner or by the mode substantially as hereinbefore specified.

2. The improved dier neck bearing as made with the annular chamber c (for reception of the rawhide collar d) and with the opening or passage e, leading laterally ont of the said chamber, in manner as specified.

BLANEY E. SAMPSON.
