Abstract

See full text

Various implementations include a linear bushing and a bushing housing assembly that allows the linear bushing to be accessed and replaced without removing the bushing housing assembly from a machine in which it is installed. In particular, the assembly includes a hinged bushing housing that opens to allow removal and replacement of the linear bushing. The housing also provides for easy alignment and secure placement of the linear bushing and is more easily accessible to an operator than current bushings and bushing housings. Thread or other fibers may be run through the bushing's longitudinal channel, which serves as a guide for the thread or fibers. In addition, the bushing and housing assembly may be installed in a textile machine or other types of machines that use linear bushings.
