RING AND TRAVELER FOR SPINNING-FRAMES :JPECIFIOAIION forming part of Letters Patent No. 743,138, dated November 3, 1903.
Application filed May 7. 1903. Serial No. 15 6,012. (No modcLl To all whom it 11mg concern.-
Be it known that I, ZACHARIAH EDWARD BOOTH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Ring and Traveler for Spinning and Twisting Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved ring and traveler for use in spinning-frames and in twisting-frames arranged to insure an easy, free, and fast running of the traveler in the ring without causing undue friction of the working parts and without danger of injuring the yarn or thread and at the same time producing an even twisting of the fibers, thereby insuring the formation of an even perfectly cylindrical yarn or thread and increasing the capacity of the machine.
The invention consists of novel features and'part-s and combinations of the same, as will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a like view of the spinning and twisting ring. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the carrier. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the balance-ball, and Fig. 5 is a similar view of the traveler.
The traveler F is mounted to travel in a ring H, held in a ring-holder I, set in the rail 1, having the usual up-and-down motion to cause the yarn to be delivered by the traveler F to the bobbin throughout the latters length.
The traveler F is mounted to-turn axially in a carrier J, traveling around in the ring H, so that the traveler F not only is carried around in the ringand up and down with the same, but also turns on its axis. The carrier J also supports a balance-ball K to counterbalance the weight of the traveler F to hold the carrier J against inward movement-that is, to prevent the traveler from leaving the ring H.
The spinning or twisting ring H is made in two ring shaped sections H and H screwed together and provided with concentric races H Iii for the traveler F and balance-ball K to travel on, the said races H H having V- shaped walls, of which the bevels of the wall of the race Hiextend in an opposite direction to the bevels of the wall of the race H The races H and 4 communicate with each other by an annular slot H for the passage of the shank J of the carrier J, which latter is provided at its ends withannular bearings J J 3 for engaging annular grooves F and K, formed on the traveler F and the balanceball K, respectively.
The traveler F is approximately ball-shaped to roll 0E easily in the race H and the traveler is provided with a central passage F for the yarn B, the said passage being disposed vertically'-that is, at an angle to the plane in which the traveler travels around in the ring H-and the said passage F has a flaring mouth at each end (see Fig. 1) for the easy entrance andexit of the yarn B.
Now when the spinning or twisting frame is running then the pull exerted on the yarn by the revolving bobbin causes the traveler F to travel around in the ring H, and as the traveler is in frictional contact with the wall of the race H it is evident that the traveler is caused to roll off on the said race-wall H and thereby turn on its axis, which latter coincides with the axis of the passage F Thus the traveler F instead of sliding around in the ring H rolls off therein, and hence'the friction between the traveler and the ring is reduced to a minimum, and the traveler can rotate at a high rate of speed without danger of injuringthe yarn, at the same time producing an even twist of the fibers, and thereby causing a uniform cylindrical yarn or thread.
It is understood that the traveler is perfectly balanced and by traveling around in a perfectly-made race in the ring is easily yet'firmly held in contact with its race, thereby allowing the traveler to attain a veryhigh rate of speed with a minimum of wear on the working parts and at the same time increasing the producing capacity of the machine and the formation of a fine quality of yarn or thread. It will also be seen that by having the traveler provided with flaring mouths at the passage for the yarn or thread all sharp angles for the thread or yarn are eliminated, and as there is no irregularity or variation in the speed of the traveler perfect conditions are obtained for the production of an evenlytwisted, strong, and elastic yarn or thread.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1 1. Aring, and a traveler guided by the ring, to travel annularly and mounted to turn on its own axis.
2. A ring, and a traveler guided by the ring, to travel annularly and mounted to turn on its own axis, the traveler having an axial passage for the yarn.
3. A ring provided with a carrier mounted to travel around in the ring, and a traveler I mounted to turn in the carrier, as set forth.
4c. Aring provided with a carrier mounted to travel around in the ring, and a traveler mounted to turn in the carrier, and having a central passage for the yarn, the passage standing at an angle to the plane in which the carrier travels, as set forth.
5. A ring having a race, and a ball traveler mounted to roll in the race and turning on its own axis by contact with the wall of the race.
6. A ring having a race, and a ball traveler mounted to roll in the race, and provided with a central bore for the passage of the yarn, as set forth.
7. A ring having a race, and a ball traveler mounted to roll in the race and provided with a central bore for the passage of the yarn, the passage extending at an angle to the plane in which the ball traveler travels, as set forth.
8. A ring having a race, and a counterbalanced ball traveler on the said race and having a central passage for the yarn, as set forth.
9. A ring having a race, and a counterbalanced ball traveler on the said race, having a central passage for the yarn, the passage having flaring months at the ends, and standing at an angle to the plane in which the ball traveler travels, as set forth.
10. A ring having a race, a carrier, and a ball traveler mounted to turn in the carrier and adapted to roll on the said race, as set forth.
11. A ring having a race, a carrier, and a ball traveler mounted to turn in the carrier and adapted to roll on the said race, the ball traveler having a central passage for the yarn, the passage standing at an angle to the plane in which the traveler and the carrier travel, as set forth.
12. A ring having inner and outer annular concentric races, a ball traveler on the inner race, a balance-ball on the outer race, and a carrier for the said ball traveler and the balance-ball, as set forth.
13. A ring having annular concentric races, in connection with each other by an annular slot, a carrier extending through the slot into both races, a ball traveler mounted to turn in the carrierat one of the races, and a balance-ball mounted to turn in the carrier at the other race, as set forth.
14. A spinning or twisting frame having a traveler formed with a passage for the yarn and mounted to travel around in an annular path and to turn on its axis, as set forth.
15. A spinning or twisting frame provided with a ring made in sections fastened together and provided With concentric races, communicating with each other by an annular slot, the walls of the races being V-shaped and the bevels thereof extending in opposite directions, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
