Be it known that l, (luouou PICIFFER Josnrn S'rivicns, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of State of Pennsylvania,

have invented certain new and useful linproven'tents in Windlug-Frames; and I do declare the following to he 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, relerence being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

' This invcntionrelates to a windingframe or jack Winder, and has for its object to provide a construction, whereby I am enabled to increase the number of spindles orbobbins, and consequently the output of the machine Without increasing the amount of floor space occupied by the machine.

A further object is to provide novel mech anism for feeding the yarn upon the l; obbins.

I Ieretoforo in the branch of the art to which my invention pertains, winding frames have been provided having spools, the ends of yarn upon the spools leading to the bobbins arranged in a single row along the front of the machine, the capacity of the machine being limited to the number of bobbins contained in the row. By my construction and arrangemer-it of mechanism, l. am enabled to increase the number of rowsof bobbin's, and

' at the same time automatically and simultaneously feed the yarn to each row by my improved feeding mechanisn'i, designed for this purpose.

The invention thercli )10 consists in the parts and. combination. of parts shown in the drawings, described in the specification, and more particularly pointed out in the (ilitlll'lS.

In the drawings z--l igu re I is a plan View of enough of a windii'ig frame to illustrate the application of my invention thereto. Figure 2 is a side eleyatioi'i oi the same Figure 3 is a detail view showing two rows of bobbins and the means for feeding the yarn thereto.

Figure 4 is a partial plan view oi the means foropcralingthefeedingmechanisni. Figure 5 is a detail view of the feeding mechanis Figure 6 a perspective view of the vertici'iiiy reciprocating screw shaft and the bearing carried"thereby. Figure 7 is a side elevation 01' the feeding mechanism. .l igurc 6 is a detail view of a modified form of feeding 1uechl l 1 is an end i anisnt Figure. U is a detail view ol'themechanism shown in Figure 8. FlglJi'G is a partial scctioi'ial detail view of the means for impart in an initial winding upon the bobbins, and, ligurcs I l 8; 12 are detail views of the same.

In the several views similar ligurcs of reference indicates corrcspimding parts.

The numeral I indicates the table, upon which is mounted in suitable bearings 2, the gudgcons 2-; carried by each spool 4, that contains the yarn to be wound upon the bobi bins 5, there being as many bobbins 5 as there are ends of the yarn upon the spools 4-.

(i designates the main driving shaft of the machine, which receives power from any preferred source ol" supply in the usual or in any preferred man ner, and upon this shaft is carried a drum 7, over which, and a pulley 8 i i l l 5, runs the cords If), consequently as the shaft 6 revolved, motion is imparted to the drum 7 and to the spindles and bobbins, and the yarn is unwound from the spool 4 and wound upon the bobbins. 1

To secure the requisite tension upon the yarn so as to wind evenly upon the bobbins, 1 have 'i'rovided a tension plate I], which bears upon the yarn uponthe spool with suIIicient pressure to insure the proper tension. To accomplish this end, lv havcprovidcd a bearing 1;, which guides a rod 13, that carries upon its upper end the plate I], the lower end being bent to form a support 14 for a plurality of weights 1 bythe employment of more or less weights I ani enabled to regulate the. tension ol" the. yarn .to a nicety. Secured upon the table iearing It; and inner bearings 17, .in which are journaled a plurality of shafts 18, which carry at intervals along their length arms 19, the shafts being located in I front of the bobbins and the arms extending at their free. ends to a point in rear of the bobbins andcarry a rod or wire 20, under which the yarn runs and by which as the rod is moved the yarn is led upon the bobbins. I

.ln Iceding the yarn it is necessary that an initial winding of several layers be wound upon the lower end of the bobbins, alter which the yarn is fed to the bobbins in layers for a short distance, the l l gradually until the entire bobbins are :lilled, i this operation being accomplished by rocl l ing the shafts 18 slightly, and alter each upon the spindles 9 which carries the bobbins 5, consequently aycrs bcingadvanced being similar gear tics-11y reciproc movement of the rods advancing the rods slightly to feed a. succeeding layer slightly in advance of the previous lcyer. To ace-oinplish this end, upon one end of shafts 18 is secured similer segments '21, which mesh with a segment 22 secured upon a stub shaft 23, and upon the opposite cnrl of shaft 23 I sec?" .1. lever 34, which is connected by a link 25 with the feeding mechanism.

The feeding mechanism comprises a. shaft 26' journelerl in bearings 27, and upon seid shaft is s gear-wheel 28 which meshes with a car 29, secured upon the driving shaft 6. pon the op osite end of shaft 26 is'secure-ii a. I'nitre whee 30, which meshes with s. fnitre wheel 31, secured upon a shaft 32 journeleil in suitable bearings 33, carried by the under frame 34 of the machine, and. upon the opposite end of shaft 32 is n rnitre wheel 35, which in turn meshes with a mitre Wheel 36 csrried by sshaft 37, journeled in hearings 38 secured upon the under frame 34. Also journsled in the bearings 38 is a shaft 39, there Wheels 4041' secured upon shafts 37 & 39 respectively, whereby mot-ion imparted to shaft 37 is imparted-to shaft 39, the shsits moving in opposite directions but with the same speed.

Arranged in the tshlc 1v is s hearing 42, and projecting from the inner hearing 38 for shafts 37 & 39 is a bearing 43, for n ersting feed screw't-L, the lower end which passes through. the bearings 42 8; '43, hein; square in cross section, whereby the screw ishehl from turning, the UPDQIQDii being threaded as shown at 4:5 and carried by the upper end is the feed hearing 46 having lugs 47, between wl' ich passes the upper eml oi the link 25 heretofore described, and by which the bearing 46 is held from turning.

Bearing 46 comprises two hubs 48 joined by the arm 49, which in turn carries it hub 50 for a shaft 51, and. secured upon the screw is a bevel gear 52 having its here thread i, said bevel gear meshing with a. hovel gear 53 secured upon shaft 51, wherchyes sh sit 51 is revolved motion is impertel to gee-ifs 6% 52 end the hearing ii) fed. slung the screw 44, but as screw 44 is I'GClPEOCittFil, as will he hereinafter described, the ore carries the binning and the arm 24 is moved through. the medium of link 25 in vertical slinement with screw 44 is csm.
