IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINE FOR TWISTING- JACK-BANDS.

Thechedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it ma/y conce/rn.-

- Be itknownthat I, J. COLLIER, of Morenci, inthe county of Lenawee, and State of Michigan, have inwanted a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Twisting J ack-Bands; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,

l which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawiu'gs,forming part of this specification, in

Which- Figure 1 represents .a side elevation of my improved machine, and

V Figure 2 vrepresents a plan View, with a part broken away.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple and improved ,machine 'for twisting jack-bands., and other similar cords.

It consists of an arrangement of rotating hooks, and

a stationary hook, for twisting the yarn, with the de- Usaid whcelout of gear with the pinion on the shaft B.

H represents a hook arranged upon the upper end of 'a vibrating bar, I, pivoted to the bench, and arranged to be limited in the amount of its vibration, and provided with a coiled spling, K, and a loop at its lower end.

L represents a lever, pivoted adj ustably at L to a bar dependent from the bench, and arranged at one end to drop between the hub of the wheel C and the bearing of the 'shaft of the said wheel. The other end is supported in the loop of the lever I, and is bent as shown in iig. 1.

'Ihe yarn is securedto one of the hooks F, and passed around the hook H to the other hook, F, the machine is set in operation, and the yarn is twisted. men it has been twisted the requisite amount, the hook H will have been drawn towards the 'twisting-hooks, and against the action of the spring K, sufciently to allow the bent end of the bar L to fall out of the loop in the rod I, thereby raising the other end out of the space between the hub of the wheel C and the bearing, allowing the spring G to throw th'e wheels out of gear, and stopv the machine. p

The yarn is then taken from the hook H, and placed on the yielding and twisting-hook F', and the machine set in motion again, when the cord will be iinished, as will be readily understood.

In twisting the two parts together, a stick may be held between them, to prevent them from winding together too fast.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent The combination of the hook H, levers I and L,

Vsliding wheel C, hooks F,.and springs G K, substantially as and for the purpose described.

` COLLIER.
