UNITED sTATEs PATENT oEEicE HENRY EVANS AND BABNABAS CHURCHILL, OF PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS.

FLIER FOR SPINNING FLAX, HEMP, MANILA, 65o.

Specification of VLettersv Patent No. 948, dated September 26, 1838L To all whom tmay concern.'

Be itv known that we, HENRY EVANS and I BARNABAs CHRoI-ITLL, both of Plymouth, in

the county ofPlymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements for Spinning by Hand in a Stationary Position all Kinds of Hemp, Flax, and Manila; and we do hereby declare that the followingis a full and exact description.

Our invention is two regulators for spinning at a given rate, introduced within the -ilier of a spinning machine as shown in the accompanying drawing.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention we will proceed `to describe its construction and operation.

Regulator B Figure l, consists of five parts combined, numbered from 1 to 5. Nos. l and 2 is two iron cogs. Nos. 3 and i is two wood drums and belt. No. 5 is a cross bar or support for one end of drum shafts-the other end (of drum shafts) has a bearing in the head of the flier. Cog No. l, is stationary on the bearing E or driven by pulley F, through the bearing E. Cog

No. 2 is on the shaft with drum No. 3, and;

geared to cog No. l. A leather or indiarubber belt is applied to the two drums which gives motion to drum No. Tand holds the yarn from rendering; The size of drum.

No. 3, gives the required length of yarn at each revolution of the dier when cog No. l

is stationary-but when cog No. l is driven through the bearing E, the given rate is then determined by pulley F. The several arts thus arranged the course ofthe yarn will be as follows: The yarn passes from the spinner through the bearing E, over a small sheave on No. 5, passing under the belt over the two drums to `flier O, thence to bobbin D, on spindle C. It is then taken up by friction applied to spindle C. See at drawing, Fig. 1.

Regulator B Fig. 2, consists of four p rts combined, numbered from l to 4. No. l is an iron or steel spindle Gr, in the bearing E, or driven by pulley F through the bearing E. Nos. 2 and 3 is two iron or wood sheaves which conduct the yarn as hereafter described. No. 4 a bar secured with screws to each arm of flier O, to support the two sheaves. The size of spindle Gr, when stationary determines the rate of turn in the yarn-also the length produced at each revolution of the flier O, but when spindle G is driven through the bearing E, the given rate is then determined by the pulley F. The several parts being thus arranged the course of the yarn will be as follows: The yarn passes from the spinner through the bearing E and spindle G, over sheave No. 2,'

passing around spindle G, over sheave No. 3, to flier O, thence to bobbin D on spindle C. It is then taken up by friction applied to spindle C. When the flier O is in motion the large sheave No. 2 Vputs the Vyarn on spindle G, while small sheave No. 3, takes it olf-sufficient friction being applied tor spindle C, which regulates the motion of bobbin D. See at drawing Fig. 2.

What We claim as our inventionand wish to secure by Letters Patent is- The application of thetwo regulators B, B, within the flier of a spinning machine as herein described, for regulating the spinning of all kinds of hemp, flax and manila.
