Abstract
A spinning and twisting ring system including a plurality of holders, a ring in each of the holders, an annular conduit in each ring, a wick adapter block connected to each holder, a plurality of aligned bores in the ring, holder, and adapter block for containing a wick, a lubricant manifold, a plurality of spaced bores in the manifold, a lubricant conduit extending externally from each block and received in each of the bores in the manifold with the wick extending downwardly through the lubricant conduit and into lubricant in the manifold, with the lower end of each wick-receiving conduit being located in the lower portion of the manifold to assure contact between the wick and the lubricant.
Claims9
A spinning and twisting ring construction comprising a holder, a ring in said holder, an annular conduit in said ring, a first wick-receiving bore in said ring extending transversely to said annular conduit, a second wick-receiving bore in said holder in alignment with said first wick-receiving bore, a wick adapter block connected to said holder, a third wick-receiving bore in said wick adapter block in alignment with said second wick-receiving bore, and a wick-receiving conduit extending outwardly from said wick adapter block.
A wick adapter block for attachment to a holder of a spinning and twisting ring comprising a wick-receiving bore in said block extending in a first direction, a wick-receiving conduit in communication with said wick-receiving bore and extending outwardly beyond said block in a second direction which is transverse to said first direction.
A wick adapter block and manifold construction for attachment to the holder of a spinning and twisting ring comprising a wick-receiving bore in said block extending in a first direction, a wick-receiving a wick adapter block and manifold construction for attachment to the holder of a spinning and twisting ring comprising a wick-receiving bore in said block extending in a first direction, a wick-receiving.
A spinning and twisting ring system comprising a plurality of holders, a ring in each of said holders, an annular conduit in each ring, a first wick-receiving bore in each ring extending transversely to said annular conduit, a second wick-receiving bore in each holder in alignment with each first wick-receiving bore, a wick adapter block connected to each holder, a third wick-receiving bore in each wick adapter block in alignment with each second wick-receiving bore, a wick-receiving conduit extending downwardly and outwardly from each wick adapter block, a lubricant manifold, a plurality of spaced bores in said manifold for receiving wick-receiving conduits, means for securing said manifold to each of said wick adapter blocks, each of said wick-receiving conduits extending into said lubricant manifold through one of said spaced bores, a lubricant seal between each of said blocks and said manifold, each of said wick-receiving conduits including a lower portion and said lubricant manifold including a lower portion for receiving said lower portions of said wick-receiving conduits, and a wick extending through said first, second, and third wick-receiving bores and said wickreceiving conduit and extending beyond said wick-receiving coniduit into said lower portion of said manifold.
