CATCH FOR SPINDLES.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 724,747, dated April 7, 1903. Application filed September 30, 1902. Serial No. 125,371. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARK SEvENEY, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Fall River, in the county of Bristol, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Catches for Spindles, of which the following is'a specification.

Myinvention relates to catches for spindles used on spinning-machines.

At the present time catches are used to prevent thespindles used on spinning-machines from coming out of the heads; but the form of catch in general use, which serves both as a cap for the oil-tube and a catch for the spindle, is liable to breakage, which frequently necessitates the use of an entirely new head, and when raised is liable to stick, so that when the bobbin is taken off the, spindle is liable to come off also.

The object of the present invention is to obviate the foregoing difliculties incident to the old construction and to provide a novel form of catch for holding the spindle down.

in the form of a pivot-pin for the cap for the oil-tube and make it in such form that it will be self-locking ordinarily and normally adapted to hold the spindle down, but capable of easy manipulation, so that itmay be taken out, so that the spindle can be removed and a new one substituted therefor.

The invention is disclosed in the following drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the catch when locked; Fig. 2, a similar View illustrating how the lockiug'portion of the catch can be swung upwardly and the catch pulled out to permit removal of the spindle; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view from the opposite side, showing the cap thrown back and the catch in position for locking the spindle.

What is known as the head is shown at l, in which the spindle 2, having whirl 3, is journaled in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, while at is the oil-tube for lubricating the bearing of the spindle within the head. The cap for closing the mouth of the oil-tube is shown at 5 and is pivoted on my combined pivot-pin and catch, which consists of a straight portion 7, extending through perforations near the upper side of cars 8 on the oil-tube between which the lug on the cap 5 is received. The pin also has a bent portion 9, having a hook 10, adapted to engage with the shoulder 11 on one of the ears 8. When thus engaged, the end of the catch extends over the top of the whirl and acts as a stop to prevent displacement of the spindle from the head, while the cap can be readily opened and closed, as desired, without disturbing the catch. When it is desired to reby Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. The combination with a spindle, its head and oil-tube, of a catch for the spindle con? sisting of a pin projecting from the said oiltube and movable longitudinally to disengage it from the spindle, and provided with a hooked portion to engagewith said tube and lock the pin until it is partially rotated.

2. The combination with a spindle, its head and oil-tube, of a perforated ear on said tube, and a catch for said spindle consisting of a pin passing through the perforation and having a hooked portion to engage with said ear.

3. The combination with a spindle, its head and oil-tube, of perforated ears in said tube, a pin passing through said ears and adapted to engage with the spindle, a cap pivoted on said pin, and means for locking said pin.

4. The combination with a spindle, its head and oil-tube, of a perforated ear on said tube provided with a shoulder, and a pin passing through said ear and having a hook'to engage with said shoulder.

5. The combination with aspindle, its head and oil-tube, of an ear on said tube having a and oil-tube, of ears on said tube having per- In witness whereof I have hereunto set my forations near their upper side, a projection hand this 26th day of September, 1902.

' on one of said ears, a pin passing through M ARK SEVENEY the perforations and having a hook to engage with said projection when turned down, and a cap for the oil-tube pivoted on the pin between said ears.
