IMPROVEMENT IN SPINNING-RINGS.

Specication forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 39,657, dated August 25, 1853 reissue No. 5,702, dated December 23, 1873 reissue No. 6,628, dated S ptember 7, 1875; application led July 3l, 1875.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, WELCOME JENoKEs, ot Manchester, New Hampshire, have. invented an Improvement in Spinning-Rings, ot' which the following is a specification:

Figurel is a front view of a portion of the ring-rail of a ring spinning-trarne illustrating my improvement. Fig. i' is a horizontal section ot' the same.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding 'parts in both the figures.

4 In all ring spinning-frames constructed prior to this invention, so tar as known to me, in which the rings have been carried by or fitted into openings provided for them in the ring-rail, such rings have been held snugly in the rail without provision for adjusting them with relation to such spindle-openings.

rIhe ring-rail is held in place by liftingrods, which, when in use, Work up and down in stationary guides provided for them in the frame, and, as the rods and guides may wear, the rings become eccentric to the spindles, and thereby cause great irregularity in the draft of the yarns in every revolution of the travelers and spindles, imperfect work being thereby produced.l

The object of this invention is to provide for the adjustment ot' a spinning-ring carried by the ring-rail, and with relation to its socket in the said rail, to set the ring and race concentric With its spindle; and to this end the invention consists in the combination ot' a ring-rail, provided with a spindle passage through it, with a ring and with Ineans or mechanism whereby such ring carried by the ring-rail, on becoming eccentric to its spindle, may be moved or adj usted with reference to the spindle-passage in the rail, and be liked in position concentric with the spindle. rIhe invention also consists in a ring-rail having each ot' the sockets for the rings made larger in diameter than the neck or portion ot' the ring to enter it, and provided with adjustingscrews, arranged substantially in the manner specified.

A is the rail, and B B are two of its rings` with the races above the rail, these latter being' of the usual construction. a a are the holes or sockets in the rails for the reception of the rings and the spindles, each of such holes being about one-eighth ot' an inch larger in diameter than the exterior of the neck or portion of the ring which is received within it. b b b are the adjusting-screws, of which it is proposed to use three for each ring, as a perfect adjustment cannot Wellbe obtained with a less number. These screws are inserted from opposite sides ofthe rail, (two from one side and one from the other,) into threaded holes, provided in the rail for their reception, and are arranged radially to the axis of the ring-receiving aperture, and, as nearly as practicable, at equal distances apart around it. They should be screwed tightly enough against the ring to hold it in place.

When a ring requires adjustment, one or more. of its respective screws are to be screwed outward, and the other or others screwed inward until the ring isbrought concentric with its spindle, each ring being thus adjusted independently oi' each of the remainder of them.

I claim'- l. rIhe combination of a ring-rail, provided with a passage through it for the spindle, with a ring and with adjusting mechanism, whereby such ring maybe moved or adjusted with relation to the spindle-passage, and he placed concentric with the spindle, substantially as described. i

2. A ring-rail having each of the sockets for the rings made larger in diameter than the neck or portion ot' the ring to. enter it. in combination with rings and with adjusting' mechanism, whereby the rings may be placed concentric with the spindle, substantially as speciiied.

3. The combination, with a ringrail and a ring, of adjusting devices adapted to operate against dii'erent parts of the periphery ot' the ring to adjust the same concentric with the spindle, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speciiication in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

WELCOME JENCKES.
