DRAFT GEARING

The change gears are very conveniently located and a wide range of draft and twist can easily be obtained.

BUILDER FOR RING SPINNING FRAME

{151}

IMPROVED BUILDER.

When designing our improved Spinning Frame Builder, special attention was given to obtaining a wide range in form and build of bobbin combined with simplicity and durability. The changes necessary when altering the wind, pick or traverse have been reduced to a minimum.

The Builder is a combination type, and the change from warp to filling, or vice versa, can be easily and quickly made.

The ill.u.s.tration shows a filling cam only on the cam shaft, but when warp and filling wind are wanted, two cams are placed on this shaft.

The length of the traverse is determined by the adjustable Wave Shaft Stud, which can be easily and quickly raised or lowered, and the Ring Rail can be placed at the correct starting point by means of a thumb nut. The Pick or Take-up Motion is very simple. The pawl is on a plate which has a gear at the back. This gear is driven by a Quadrant which is connected to the top of the Builder. The pawl shield is set so that any required number of teeth can be taken up and no change gears are used.

In the Builder Arm is an adjusting screw, which is used with warp wind to regulate the taper on the bobbin. The taper can be decreased at the bottom and increased at the top by turning in this screw.

When the foot lever is pressed, it throws the Worm out of gear and allows the rail to be dropped. After winding back the Pick Motion, the Frame is ready for doffing and starting a new set.

An eccentric device is applied to enable the "Socket Doff" to be used when desired.

The Worm Gear Shaft is driven by a sprocket chain in the bead end. The speed of this shaft and consequently the speed of the traverse is increased or decreased by changing the Sprocket Gear.

The bevel gears are well protected from dust and fly by a cover, and the Builder screw itself is provided with a cleaner which prevents the collection of dirt in the threads.

HOWARD & BULLOUGH PATENT AUTOMATIC SEPARATOR

{153}

HOWARD & BULLOUGH PATENT AUTOMATIC SEPARATOR

It has been our aim to combine in this new Separator simplicity and lightness with effectiveness and rigidity. All Separators collect lint, but the Howard & Bullough has so few parts and is so easily cleaned that this disadvantage is reduced to a minimum. The Separator rod holders, which allow the blades to be thrown back out of position for doffing, are neat and strong.

Vibration in a Separator means bad work, and we have given special attention to this point, as evidenced by the double bearings for the lifting rods, the stiffness of the Separator rod carrying the blades, and the general design. In case the operator neglects to return the blades to their working position after doffing, this is taken care of by a curved stop or bracket attached to the roller beam. Easy adjustment for both long and short traverse is a good feature of this Separator.

FLOOR s.p.a.cE OF RING SPINNING FRAMES.

[Ill.u.s.tration]

We make 36-in. or 39-in. framing as required. When extra large diameter roving bobbins are used and the creels are required to take double roving, the 39-in. framing is needed to obtain enough s.p.a.ce in the creels.

To ascertain the length of Spinning Frames with any number of spindles: Multiply one-half the number of spindles by the gauge and add 2 ft. 1 in. for head and off ends.

Although it is advantageous when possible to keep to the number of spindles given in the table on the opposite page, other lengths can be built, but even boxes are preferable.

DRIVING PULLEYS are 8 in. to 18 in. dia., 3-1/4 in. face.
