EDWARD BRADLEY, OF STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE ATWOOD-MOR- RISON COMPANY,' OF STONINGTON, CON NEG-TIGHT, A CORPORATION OF NEW JEESEYi i GUIDE-MOTION FOR QUILL-WINDING MACHINES,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 25 19 0s.v

Application filed October 53, 1906. Serial N0. 337,135.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD E. BRADLEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident Qf Stonington, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have invented-a entlyptneigh oring spindles and the recip rocatlng motion of the rod which carries the guide feed roller is operated by a com driven by said gear.

It also contemplates a guide-eye for the thread arranged so as to be reciprocated by the rod which carries the guide roller and bodily shifted'by the guide roller as it moves along said rod.

My invention further consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure '1 is a partial side elevation'of a machine show ing several of the spindles in position thereon, Fig. 2 is a vertical section in the plane of the line AA of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is an enlarged view in side elevation of the spindle and arts immediately connected therewith,

ig. 4: is a top planviewof the same, Fig. 5

is an end view of the same, and Fig. 6 is a vertical ongitudinal section in the plane of the line -B of Fig. 4. I

The head frame which supports the series of spindles is denoted by 1 and maybe of any well known or approved form,

.. The beltfor driving the two series of spindles is denoted by 2 and is drivenfrom' a suitable source of power,-not shown. This belt passes, as is common, between the pullys 3 and 4 on the inner ends of the spindles as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

Th rear part of the s indle, which carries the pulley 4,'is denoted y 5 and the forward art which receives the quill isdenoted by 6.

he party 5 is mounted inaistationanyportion 7 of the frame and has'iixed'to rotate therewith a clutch member 8 which is adapted to be engaged by a slidin clutch member 9 carried by the part 6 of t e spinnary means to rotate therewith, as, for example, by a feather and groove connection, is permitted a sliding motion on the part 6 into and out of engagement th the mom;

The quill carrying part 6 of the spindle is mountedin a frame 16 hinged "at 11 to the stationary part of the frame so as to permit the part 6 of the spindle to be bodily tilted toward and away from the feed guide roller; The clutch member '9 is slid toward and away from the clutch member 8 by means of, i

a shifting arm 12 attached toja sliding. bar '13, the latter being provided with a spring 14 tending to throw the bar in a. position tore lease the clutch member 9 from the clutch member 8, the said bar 13being further provided with a hand piece 15 for forcing the bar inwardly to bring the clutch members into erwagement against the tension of the spring 14.

A. swinging frame 10' in which 'tlieduillv carrying part of the spindle is mounted is also under the influence of a torsion spring 16 tending to swing the fra and spindle carried thereby toward the ted to be hereinafter described.

The part 6 of the spindle is 'further provided with a pinion 17 fixed thereon in position to engage a gear wheel 18' fixed to a rotary shaft 19 mounted in suitable arm's 2Q.

and 21 projecting upwardly from the sta tionary portion of the spindle frame} v The gear 18 has fixed torotate-therewitli in) a cam 22 which engages a bearing 23'ca1ried by the reciprocating rod 24 the atterbeing mounted as usual in. the stationary part of the Sp ndle frame; r

The rod 24 is under spi'ingltensionlby means 91 5;

of a spring 25 tendingto't row it outwardly as far as thejcam 22 willpermit it aiidthe cam forces the rod inwardly against the tone' sion of the spring 25.

' The outer part of threaded portion of the rod the feedguid l roller 27 isloosely mountedand is causetl 'to travel along a threaded portion 26 by means die and while fixed by some suitable 0rdiguide roller he reciprocating-ind is; we screw threaded as at 26 and'ori the Screw and forth along the rod 26 independentlyjof threads.

of a latch 28 which normally occupiesits theposition shown in full lines, Fig. 3 wit end in engagement with-the screw threads.

esired-to move the feedroller back the screw threads, the-latch 28 may be tilted back into the osition sliown in.d'ottedlines, thus freeing t e feed guide roller from the A guide-'eye'ZQ for direct' the threads to the quill pro'ects from is soo et piece 30 arranged to sh e on a rod 31 set in the arm 21. "of the frame, the said socket 30 being provided with a bifurcated arm 32 which engalges a groove 33 in the hub of the guide ro or 27 s o'as to cause "the socket 30 and.

hence the guide-eye 29 to travel bodily along with the feed guide roller while, at the same .time,permitting the feed guide roller to ro- 2'0 tate independently of the socket iece.- An arm 34 has a hub 35 throug .which'the T reciprodating rod 24 passes and to which the 1 .means of a'lugi37 projecting. from its side in rod Z4=may be locked in the. desired rotar adjustment by means of a set screw 36 whic (extends throu h the hub of the arm into'en-: ga ement wit the rod. The arm 34 alsom races the rod 31 to 'holdjthe arm against rocking motion. The sheet of this arm is to; 1 adjust the guide roller 302 odily nearer to or farther away fromthe quill and this is pro- 9 tidedfor by making the screw threaded pertion 2601' the rod 24 eccentric to the rear part of the rod. 3
