UNiTnn STATES PATENT 0rricn- CHARLES HYDE, OF NORTH CHELMSFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.

Speciiication forming part Letters Patent No. 53,44%?, dated March 27, 1866.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, CHARLES VHYDE, ot' North Chelmsford, in the county of Middlesex and State of lflassachusetts, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Fliers for Machinery for Spinning or TwistingFibrous Materials; and l do hereby declare the saule to be fully described in the following specification. and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Y Figure 1 is a front view, and Fig. 2 an edge view, of ailier as provided with my invention, which consists in thecoinbination ot'a projection socketed at its ends with the tiier, and

with a wire made to extend either above or below, or both above and below, the said vprojection; and my invention further consists in the construction of the soeketed projection with a groove going either wholly or partially around it, the purpose ot' such groove being to prevent the illier-ar1n from being worn by the yarn at the junction ot' the projection with such arm. The object of the socketed projection is not only to save the necessity of weakening the flier-arm by boring a hole into it for the support of the guide, butit is to at't'ord a better support for the guide-wire than the latter has when inserted in the nier-arm in the ordinary manner. Fig. 3 is a top View of the socketed projection as separate from the tlier and guide.

In the said drawings, A denotes a 'llier, of which a a are the arms; b, the neck, and c the -base. The projection B is formed with two sockets, d e, one being to receive and embrace the flier-arm, and the other being to receive the guide wire C. The projection is to be grooved transversely, as shown at f, .such groove being carried either wholly or partially around the projection. This groove'reeeives the yarn in its passage to the bobbin of the hier and prevents such yarn from cutting into and wearing the solder by which the projection B is to be afiixed to the Hier-arm a.

The groove c, after the guide G (which is a straight piece of wire) is laid within it, is to have solder run into it, so as to confine the guide in place or to the projection. Extending the guide above the projection is advantageous in sonne kinds ot' spinning, especially when the yarn is Wound one or more times about the projection; and it is still lnore advantageous to have the guide extended both above and below the projection in manner as represented in the drawings, for in this way it may be nia-de to serve to belay the yarn to the iiier in ease the saine may at any time be desirable. By extending it below the projec tion the guide answers the purpose otl the ordinary hook or guide as generally applied to the dier-arm.

By having thc guard laid in and soldered to the projection it becomes an easy matter to y detach the guard therefrom whenever it may be too unich worn by the yarn. Thus we can save the projection without the necessity ot' detaching it from the Hier-arm whenever a fresh guard may be required. Were the guard and projection made of one piece of metal the projection would be useless when the guard should become too much worn for being used to advantage.

'I do not claim a hook inserted in the flierarin and made in the ordinary mannerd I claim as my inventionl. The combination of the projection B, socketed at its ends, with the flier A and the wire or guard C, applied so as to extend either above or below, or both above and below, the projec tion, as specified.

2. The socketed project-ion as made with a groove, f, going either wholly or partially around it, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbet'ore set forth.

CHARLES HYDE.
