SPECIFICATION forming part ef Lettere Patent No. 757,748, dated April 19, 1904.

'i apparente sied February zo, 1904. sereine. 194,479. me modem State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spinning- Rings, of which the following 1s a specification.

My invention relates to spinning-rings, and more particularly to that class of spinningrings in which a metal ring-traveler is used in connection with the ordinary spinning-ring.

The objects of my invention are to improve upon the construction of spinning-rings of the class referred to as ordinarily made and to increase the speed of the traveler-ring.

In my improvements I mount the metal ring-traveler upon the upper edge of the spinning-ring to rotate thereon and provide one or more external lips on the traveler to extend over the external flange on the upper edge of the spinning-ring and form an attachment for holding the traveler in position on the ring. I also preferably provide one or more internal projections on the traveler to extend Vover the inner surface of the spinning-ring at its upper edge and act as guides or bearing-points for the traveler, all as will be hereinafter fully described.

My invention consists in certain novel features of construction of my improvements, as will be hereinafterfully described.

.Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a spinning-ring and traveler embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 isa section on line 2 2, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow a, same figure. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank traveler-ring before it is inished ready for use, and Fig. 4r is a perspective view of the traveler-ring shown in Fig. 3 after it is finished and ready for use.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 isthe spinning-ring, in this instance made of metal in one piece with a fiat ilange 1 adapted to bey secured to the rail of a spindle-frame (not shown) in the ordinary Way by screws (not shown) extending through open-end slots 1" in the opposite edges of the flange 1.

The spinning-ring 1 has on its upper edge an external flange 1 in the ordinary way.

The traveler-ring 2 is of metal and prefer-` ably of liat or sheet metal; but it may be round The size or diameter of the traveler-ring 2 is substantially the same as the size or diameter of theupper edge of the spinning-ring 1.

. 4The traveler-ring 2 is preferably made or cut out in the form shown in' Fig. 3, with one or more oppositely-extending attaching lips or arms 2 (in this instance three are shown) on its external edge and one or more corresponding internal lips or projections 2 (in this instance three are shown) on its internal edge. l

The external attaching-lips 2 are preferably bent into loop shapeas shownin Figs. 2 and 8, with their free ends bent inwardly and their extreme ends bent outwardly, so that they will extend under the external flange 1 on the ring l, as shown in Fig. 2, and act to hold the traveler 2 yieldingly on the upper edge of said ring and allow it to freely rotate thereon.

One of the loop-attaching arms or lips serves as a guide for the strand of yarn or thread.

The internal lips or projections 2" on the traveler 2 are preferably used and are bent down at right angles to the plane of the traveler 2 to extend upon the inner side of the spinning-ring 1, at the upper edge thereof, and form bearing surfaces or guides for the traveler 2 upon the inside of the ring 1.

In my improved construction of a spinningring, with the traveler-ring constructed as yshown and described and mounted and traveling on the upper edge of the spinning-ring, I am able to obtain a very steady movement of the traveler-ring and also very great speed,

It will be understood that the details of construction of my improvements maybe varied, if desired. I prefer to use three attaching lips or arms 2' and three guide projections 2"; but one or more may be used, if preferred, and the projections 2" may be dispensed with.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a spinning-ring having an external flange on its'upper edge, of a traveler-ring mounted on the upper edge IOO of said ring, and having one or more attaching lips or arms which extend over and engage the external flange on said ring, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination With a spinning-ring having an external flange on its upper edge, of a traveler-ring mounted on the upper edge of said ring, and having one or more attaching lips or arms which extend over and engage the external iiange on said ring, and one or more lips or projections which extend Within the upper edge of the ring, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination with a spinning-ring having an external flange on its upper edge, of a traveler-ring mounted on the upper edge of said ring, and having one or more attaching lips or arms which extend over andv engage the lips or arms which extend over and engage theexternal flange on said ring, and also extend above the plane of the traveler', and one or more lips or projections Which extend Within the upper edge of the ring, substantially as 30 shown and described.
