JOHN NEWTON, OF FARNVVORTH, NEAR BOLTON, ENGLAND.

PRESSER-FLIER.

SPECFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 494,880, dated April 4, 1893.

Application filed November 14, 1892. Serial No. 451,969. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that l, JOHN NEWTON, grocer, of 39 Albert Road, Farnworth, near Bolton, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Presser-Fliers, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention pertains to improvements relating to presser filiers for machinery known as slubbing, intermediate, roving, and other similar machines employed in the process of preparing cotton and other fibrous materials and consists in the features of construction and the combination or arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, whereby soldering and brazing are avoided and the parts can be quickly removed and replaced.

The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a presser filer with my improvements applied. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged part sectional elevation of the lower end of the hollow leg of a presser dier showing my improved grooved spring catch.. Fig. t is a sectional plan through line A B. Fig. 5 is a sectional plan through line C D', and Fig. 6 is a sectional plan through line G H in Fig. 3. Y

A is the presser flier employed in machinery of the description before mentioned provided with the hollow leg B on which the presser C is mounted. On the hollow iier leg B is secured by hrazing or other means the spring catch D provided with the grooved end E in which the circular part G of the presser arm C operates. The circular part G is constructed to move in the grooved end E of the spring catch D. The circular part G clips the hollow flier leg B and is provided with a suitable stop, as at' H to determine the movements of the presser radially. The spring catch D is constructed with the projection I which tits into a slot or recess in the flier leg forpreven tingsidewise movement ofthe catch, while permitting the latter to move outward and inward for the detachment and attachment of the presser C. The upper end of the presser leg is provided with the bearing or twisted end J which will slide and swivel on the flier leg B. When it is desired to x orl remove the presser C on the iiier leg B it is eected by simply pressing the lower or grooved end of the spring catch D back suinciently to allow of the distance between the point K and the outside of the fiier legB being increased beyond the thickness of the circular part G, which will allow of the same being slid instantaneously on or off the er leg.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that whatl claim isl. The combination with a flier, of a-presser arm C having a projecting portion G, and a spring catch mounted on the liier and provided in its free end portion with a groove E to receive the projecting portion of the presser arm, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a dier having a slotted or recessed leg, of apresser arm C having a projecting part G, and a spring catch D mounted on the slotted or recessed iiier leg and provided with a groove E and a projection I which engages the slotted or recessed part of the flier leg, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed-my seal in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
