SPINNING-MACHINE.

Be it known that I, LUPTON VAN HAM, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident ofJamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements 1n Spinning-Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object'of the invention is to provide certain new and useful improvements in spinning; machines, whereby the ordinary top board now generally used is dlspensed with and accumulation of fly waste and .oose fibers is-prevented, to insure the formation of a thread free from fly or waste slubs, and whereby the spinner is enabled to quickly and conveniently make short piecing, and more room for dofling and setting of the bobbins is provlded.

In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of individual swing arms, one for each thread, and a hinge connecting the rear end of each arm with the frame of the split seat A in thread. Each spinning machine, each arm being provided in its free end with a porcelai the passage ofthe thread.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

' Figure 1 is a plan view of the improve ment as applied; Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same with a portion of the frame of the spinning machine shown in section; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional elevation of the improvement on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Arms A, one for each thread, are connected individuall by hinges B with the frame C of the spinning machine, as plainly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The forward free end of each arm A is provided with a 'which is removably seated a porcelain pot-eye D of usual construction to form a guide for the corresponding porcelain pot-eye D is provided with a-split in register with the split of the seat A, and the upper end of each pot-eye D is provided with a flange D seated on the seat A to hold the pot-eye in place. The hinge B is constructed to normally hold the arm A in an approximately horizontal position during the spinning operation and whena bobbin is filled the arm A'is swung upward into an approximately Specification of Letters Patent.

vertical position for dofling or other purposes. The pot-eyes may be provided with varioussized openings to accommodate different counts of spinning. Each pot-eye may be fastened in place by cement orother adhesive substance or it maybe removably held in place in the seat A by a plate F securedto the upper face of the corresponding arm A by a screw E or other means. The plate F is provided at its forward end with flange D so as to hold the pot-eye D securely in position on The eye F is provided with a A and the pot-eye D, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 1. The rear end of the plate F extends beyond the screw and is provided with a curved flange F engaging the pivotal portion of the hinge so as to bear on the same with a View to hold the arm A in raised position, as plainly indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. It is understood that when the spinning frame has been replenished with empty bobbins the operator can readily swing the arms A downwardly and forwardly back into active position.

It will be plate F the pot-eye D is securely held in position on the arm A, and in case the poteye becomes injured or broken it is only necessary for the'operator to loosen the screw E for convenient removal of the poteye D and to replace the same by a new one, after which the plate F is returned and fastened in place by the screw E. It will also be noticed that by the arrangement .described the ordinary top board now generally used is entirely dispensed with and each individual arm can be swung into horizontal or vertical position at the option of the operator without moving the entire top board into the same position. It will further be noticed that the accumulation of fly waste or loose fibers is prevent d, to' insure the formation of a thread free from fly or waste slubs, and the spinner is enabled to quickly and correctly make a short piecing, and more room for dofling andsetting of bobbins is provided.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A spinning machine provided with a se ies of swing arms one for each thread, a

noticed that by the use of the i j pot eye in the free outer end of each arm, a

hinge connecting the rear 'end of each arm with the frame of the spinning machine, and a plate secured to the arm and hearing at its rear end on the pivotal portion of the hinge.

spinning machine provided with a series of swing arms, one for each thread, a hinge connecting the rear end of each swing arm with chine, a pot eye in the forward end 'ofthe swing arm, and 'a plate secured to the arm between the ends thereof, one "end of said plate bearing on the pot eye and the other end frictionally engaging the pivotal portion of the hinge.

3. A spinning machine provided with a series of swing arms, one for each thread, a hinge connecting therear end of each swing arm with the frame of the spinning machine, a porcelain pot-eye in the free outer end of the swing arm, and a plate removably secured to the arm between the ends thereof,

the forward end of the said plate having an integral split eye overlying the rim of the said pot-eye, and the rear end of the said he frame of the spinning ma-' plate having a curved flange frictionally engaging the hinge,

4. A splnning machine provided with a series of swing arms one foi each thread, a j

hinge connecting the rear end of each swing arm with the frame of the spinning machlne,

the forward end of each arm being provided with a split seat,

aporcelain pot-eye provided with a split in register with the split of the seat, theupper end of the pot-eye be-- seated on the ing provided with a flange said seat, and a plate removably secured to each swing arm, and provided at its forward end with an eye, overlyin the flange of the pot-eye and having a split registering with the splits of the seat and the pot-eye, the

rear end of the plate extending over the pivotal portion of the hinge and bearing on the same.

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