THREAD-BOARD AND THREAD-GUIDE SUPPORT FOR srmmno AND TWIBTING MACHINES.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT G. Beans, a citi'zenpf the United States, residing at Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State bf Rhode Island, have invented certain new fund useful Improvements in Thread-Board and Thread-Guide Supports for Spinning and Twistiiizg Machines, 0

which the following is ation.

y invention relates to im .rovements in thread board and thread guic e sup vorts for spinning or twisting machines, and t 1e object 0 my invention is to improve upon the construetion of a thread board and thread guide so port, as now ordinarily made, and to provise a strong and durable thread board and thread guide support, of simple and in expensive construction, and adapted to be used in a spinning or twisting machine of any ordina construction.

y invention consists in certain novel features of construction of my im roveinents, as will be hereinafter fully descri Jed.

Referrin to the drawing:-Figurc 1 is a plan view 0 a thread board and thread guide sup ort, and other parts. connected therewith embodying my im rovenients. Fig. 2 is a section, on

line

2,2, ig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow a, same figure the wire thread guide is not shown in section. Fig. 3 is a. front View of the arts shown in Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrou b, same figure; the guide wire is not shown. Fig. -'lis a plan View ofv the metal connecting block, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, detached. Fig. 5 is an edge view of the block shown in Fig. 4, looking in the direction of arrow c, slime re. Fig. 6 is an end view of the block, looking in the direction of arrow d, Fi 4. Fig. 7 IS a section, on line 7,7, Fig. 4, looldng in the direction of arrow c, same figure.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 is a dctachcd. portion of a frame of a twisting or spinning machine, to which the thread. hoard, carrying the thread guide supports, is hinged. The thread guide board 2 is preferably made of metal, and of angular shape in cross scotion, shown in Fig. .1, forming a metal top, and metal front side. 'lhc thrcad board 2 is conncclcd with thc front side oi' the frame 1, ncur thc top cdgc thereof, by a hingcd joint 1%. 'lhc hinge 3 couipriscs in this instance a loaf 3',Which cxtcuds down upon the front Hlllc oi' the frame 1, and bctwccu lhc vcrlii :illy'cxlmrt of a hrnchct l, and the l'ronl sur- Specifieation 0!

face of the frame. The leaf 3 is cut out on slotted from its lower end centrally, makin' an open end slot 3 therein, as shown in F 3, and the vertical ortion of the bracket 4 also has a vertical]? extending openih' A therethrough, to receive a bolt 5, W ieh passes through said openin 4', and the slot 3" in the hinged leaf 3', an through an elem gated opening in the front surface 0 the rains, and is adjustably secured by a ring 6. A washer 7 preferably extends between he nut 6 and the inner surfac of the frame 1, see Fig. 2. The e en-ended slots 3" and 4 in the leaf 3 and t e bracket 4, respectively, permit of the ready Vertical adjustment of the thread guide board 2 and of said bracket 4 on the frame 1 when the nuts 6 arelooselid as also the ready removal of said thread uide board from said frame, when desired. The other leaf 3'" 0f the hinge 3, which in the normal position of the parts extend substantially parallel to the leaf 3, is secured to the rear portion of a recessed block 8, which is preferably of metal and is arranged beneath and partly inclosed by the angle metal thread board 2, as shown in Fig. 2. The block Shae in this instance two horizontally extending holes 8 through the rear part thereof, shown by broken lines, and a central opening 8 therein, see Fig. 4. W0 screws or be ts 9 pass through two holes in the leaf 3", and through the holes 8 in the block 8, and to their threaded inner ends are fitted huts 10 which are received in recesses 8 in the rear ed e of the central opening 8 (see Fig. 4), and are thus prevented from turning. The said screws or bolts have slitted heads, as is usual, so that they may be turned by a screw driver.

The block 8 has its ends of rcducod thickness, as shown at 8", see F ig. 5, and each of said ends is provided with a hole 8" to receive a screw 11 from the upper side of the thread board 2, and the upper side of the thread board 2 is recessed or countersunh to receive the heads of the scrcws, as indicated in Fig. 2. A not 12 is fitted to the inner end of cach screw 11 and said nuts and screws secure the block 8 to the thread card 2. Reccsses 8 in the block 8, (see Fig. 6) receive the nuts 1; and prevent them from lurning, said nuts closely fitting said recesses.

The horizonially extending portion 4 of the lunckcl l, forms a rest or support for the thread board 2, to hold it in its proper horiconstruction consists preferably of two sepu

rate metal plates

13 and 17, preferablyof sheet metal. The upper plate 13 has in this instance formed on its inner ed e two curved portions 13, to form sockets or the hinge in 14. The plate 13 also has a central epic}?- m therethrough to receive a bolt 15. e si e and front edges of the plate 13 are prob ersbly bent downwardly, to form a, vertioall extendin ten ing 'aroun the edge'o the late. The flange 13" on the fronted'ge, a its central ortlon, has a. notch 13" therein, see Fig. 3,

hrough which the thread ide wire 16 passes. The plate 17 forming the under part of the o guide support, reiershly extends just t in the flanged e c 13 on the plate 18. he rear edge of he lower plate 17 is extended in this instance at its central portion and is cut through and bent or st c out downwardly, as shown at 17, in such a. manner that the inner e e of said 'downwurdly extending portion bear against the lower portion ofthe inetel plate 18, secured by screws 19 to the front side of the thresdboard 2, and acts to hold the thread guide support in a horizontal position. The metal plate 18 has formed on its upper edge the curved portions 18, forming sockets, in. this instance three in number, in line with the sockets 13, to re'ceive the hin e pin 14.

e thread guide wire 16 has on its inner end, which extends between the two

plates

13 and 17, an elongated loop 16', through which extends the bolt 15, and on the lower end of the bolt 15 is e not 20, which serves to secure the plates'13 and 17 together, and also to secure the thread guide wire 16 between said plates.

By means of the elongated slot 16' at the inner end of the guide wire 16, the wire may be moved in or out, when the nut 20 s loosened to adjust the position of the guide 6 e 16" on the outer end of the wire, as

esired.

By means of the hinges 3, the thread board 2 may be raised to a vertical position, relative to the frame 1, and with it will be raised the thread guide supports, of which there is one for every s ind e.

By means of t e hingewhich connects the thread guide support to the thread board 2, the thread guide support may be raised into flange 13" see Fig. 3, ex

a vertical position, relative to the thread board 2.
