SPINDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 574,945, dated January 12, 1897.

Application filed November 17, 1896. Serial No 612,513. (No model.)

, T aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADAM SCHEID, a citizen of the United States, residing in Harrison, Hudson county, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Im provements in Spindles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of this specification.

This invention relates to spinning-spindles having a combined step and bolster bearing rigidly mounted in a support which in turn is flexibly mounted on the spindle-rail.

The particular object is to provide a spindle of the above character of simple, strong, and durable construction, reliable in operation, and allowing a vertical and horizontal adjustment of thecombined step and bolster bearing with relation to the spindle-rail for purposes hereinafter specified.

' The invention consists in the improved spindle and its supporting means,in the means for flexibly and adj ustably mounting said-supporting means on the spindle-rail, and in the combination and arrangement of the various parts thereof, substantially as will be hereinafter more fully described and finally embodied in the clauses of the claim.

In the accompanying drawing, which is a sideelevation of my improved spindle and its supporting means, a represents the spindlerail, provided with a horizontal hole or opening b, in which is arranged one end of the rod or wire (I, having an intermediate substan tially U-shaped loop d, and secured with its other end by means of a set-screw c to a lug f, projecting at substantially right angles from the vertically-arranged sleeve g.

The rod d is provided at its inner end portionwith a groove d adapted to be engaged by a set-screw 0, having its bearing in the spindle-rail or in a lug secured thereto or proj ecting therefrom, and by means of which set-screw c said wire can be adjusted in a horizontal direction within the spindle-rail a, but is prevented from turning, as the said screw engages the elongated groove d of said rod cl. In the sleeve g is adj ustably secured, by means of the set-screw h, the tube '6, containing step and bolster bearing for the spindle m, which latter by preference is provided with the sleeve 01 and whirl 0, and is thus adapted to receive motion from the belt or band 19, as will be manifest.

The intermediate loop cl of the rod or wire cl furnishes sufficient flexibility and thus yielding movement to the spindle, and by raising or lowering the tube 'i within the sleeve g the center of oscillation, or, better, the radius of oscillation, can easily be changed, as will be manifest, and by simply adjusting the rod or wire cl within the rail ct the tension of the driving belt or band can be quickly regulated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The combination with the spindle-rail, of a rod or wire adjustably arranged in said rail, and provided with an intermediate loop, a vertically-arranged sleeve carried by said rod or wire, a tube containing step and bolster bearin g, rigidly but adjustably arranged in said sleeve, and a whirl-driven spindle in said tube, all said parts substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination with the spindle-rail, of a rod or wire arranged in said rail and provided with an intermediate loop, a verticallyarranged sleeve adjustably secured .to said rod or wire, a tube containing step and bolster bearing rigidly but adjustably secured within said sleeve, and a whirl-driven spindle in said tube, all said parts, substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. The combination with the spindle-rail, of a rod or wire adj ustably arranged in said rail and provided with an intermediate loop, a vertically-arranged sleeve adjustably secured to said rod or wire, a tube containing step and bolster bearing rigidly but adj ust- 5 ably secured within said sleeve, and a whirl driven spindle in said tube, all said parts, sub stantially as and for the purposes described.

4. The combination with the spindle-rail, provided with a horizontal hole or opening, a

IOO

rod or wire provided at its inner end with an elongated groove slidingly arranged in said rail and adapted to engage said elongated groove, said rod or wire being provided With an intermediate loop, a vertically-arranged sleeve adjustably secured to the outer end of said rod or wire, a tube, containing step and bolster bearing, rigidly but adj ustably secured within said sleeve, and a-whirl-driven spindle in said tube, all said parts, substan- 1o tially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 3d day of October, 1896.

ADAM SCITEID.
