Claims

Claim lst In a twisting and laying machine for forming twine, rope, etc., a vertical twisting frame, having a series bearing pieces on which whirl-hooks are pivoted, arranged diagonally behind each other, so that the length of the sets of whirl-hooks decrease in a uni¬form manner, the speed of the whirl-hook being regulated by cone pulleys, vertical stakes, with arms having grooves formed thereon to receive and keep separate sets of strands after they have passed from a vertical guide-frame, which is adapted to move on a single track, and has arms carrying hooks to receive the strands before and after being twisted, in combination with a laying frame also adapted to move on a single track, with a drag to regulate the tension on the cord during the process of formation, and having arms carrying whirl-hooks, to which the strands of the cord to be formed are at¬tached, and which derive motion from an endless rope driven from the end of the walk where the vertical twisting frame is located, the whole being arranged and operated to form twine, cord, rope, etc., substantially as specified. 2nd The vertical twisting frame A, hav¬ing vertical bearing-pieces 2, 3, 4 and 5, on which, and on front of frame, the whirl-hooks h are pivoted, the bearing-pieces being ar-ranned in eschelon, so as to permit the cord driven by the drum to actuate the cone-pulleys g, to which the whirl-hooks h are fixed, substantially as described and for the purpose specified. 3rd The fixed vertical stake-head E, having arms Em formed thereon, so as to permit the arms CI of the guide-frame C to pass between them, and having grooves m between bridges Is formed on said arms Em. sub¬stantially as described and for the purpose specified. 4th The vertical guide-frame C, adapted to move in a single track B, and having arms CI and Cu, and hooks n fixed to said arms Cm, arranged and operated substantially as described and for the purpose specified. 5th The vertical guide-frame C, adapted to move on a single track B, and having arm Cm with hooks n, and arm with core-head g and spool p, the whole being arranged and operated substantially as described and for the purpose specified. 6th The core-head q, fixed to the arm C2 in guide-frame C, and having central opening q2, through which the core from the spool p is threaded, and having grooves formed therein to receive the twisted strands to be twisted round said core, substantially as described and specified. 7th The combination of the vertical moveable laying frame D, with arms Dm, adapted to move on a track B. with wheel L pivoted on said frame, endless cord i, pulley Li, cord s, guide-pulleys, drag M and whirl-hooks d driven by cone-pulleys K, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
