Abstract
A U-shaped latch having a pair of resilient arms is fixed radially and axially in an annular groove formed in the neck of the spindle house. The latch is provided with a projection which passes through a hole in the neck into engagement above a collar integral with the spindle blade, thereby preventing axial movement of the spindle blade. The projection is formed so as to be centered on the inside rim of the latch so that upon radial shifting of the latch, the projection is moved from its engaging position to a disengaging position. The forked latch provides the necessary spring tension to hold the latch in place in either position.
Claims6
A spinning or twisting machine comprising a spindle bearing housing and spindle blade a surrounding casing provided with a neck through which the spindle blade axially passes for housing said spindle bearing and spindle blade, a collar integrally formed on said spindle below said neck, an annular groove formed in the exterior surface of said neck and having a hole extending radially therethrough, and a fork-shaped latch resiliently slideable in said groove having a projection extending inwardly through the hole in said groove to lie in opposition to the collar on said spindle blade to thereby prevent axial movement of the spindle blade through said neck.
