Patent GB-191103285-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Plants for Bleaching Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: HALL CHARLES
IPC: D06L4/00
Filed: 1911-02-09
Granted: 1912-02-09
Abstract: 3285. Hall, C. Feb. 9. Circulating materials through fluid-supplying apparatus.-In apparatus for bleaching fibrous materials, say cotton or linen fabrics, yarns, or warps, lace, curtains, tapes, braids, and artificial silk, in rope form or the like comprising a number, say four, of liquor vats through which the material is suitably run and a water-supply for washing off the bleached material, means are provided for returning washing - off water charged with bleaching- liquor to one of the said vats for re-use, say from the fourth to the third vat. The material 7 to be bleached is passed through a guide f to the first vat a where it passes, winch-fashion, through a pair of squeeze-rollers d and round an immersed roller e to remove the starchy matter, such as gum, dextrin, flour, &c. The material then passes over a winch roller f<1> to similar treatment in a second vat b for the removal of the motes, such as cotton seeds. From the second vat b the material passes to the third c, wherein it is washed and partly bleached. The material then passes to similar treatment in one compartment h of the fourth vat g, the liquor being bleaching-liquor, and is finally piled down on to a grating n in the second compartment m of the last vat g. While lying on the grid, the material is sprayed with bleach liquor pumped from the first compartment h to perforated pipes t placed around the compartment. After the bleaching the supply to the pipes t is cut off, the accumulated liquor in the second compartment m is run into the first, the materials are now washed with water supplied from the same pipes t, and the resulting bleach washings are run through a pipe 8 to the third vat c for re-use. When the second compartment m has been filled by the material, the continuous length may be broken as often as necessary and led from the first compartment h into a fifth and further vats which serve the same purpose as the second compartment m. The first and second vats a, b may have each a liquor-supply vessel 2 and a steam pipe 3 for heating the liquor. In the second vat b, the steam pipe communicates with the hollow perforated guide-roller e, and also with branches 4, 5 leading respectively to the liquor-supply vessel 2 and to a perforated pipe 6 arranged inside the vessel to project steam against the material 7 under treatment.

Filed: 1911-02-15
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 3888. Kliemand, P. Feb. 15. Spindle apparatus. - Flyers are elastically journaled in spherical bearings, and hollow spindles are attached thereto by spring joints, so that the flyers will yield if struck by lumps in the yarn or by dirt, wood, &c. in the sliver, and so that the spindle can be moved freely in any direction when doffing the bobbin. The neck of the flyer is journaled in a socket 6 and a spring-pressed bush 9, spherical surfaces, having their common centre at the intersection of a plane through the centre of the cord groove in the wharl and the axis of the flyer, being arranged between the hub of the wharl and a socket 6, between the socket 6 and a bearing 8, and between the bearing 8 and the flyer. The bush 9 is provided with a conical flange which is pressed against a corresponding part on the bearing 8 by the spring so as to form a close joint. The spindle is hollow and has a spring 14 screwed on its upper extremity and held against a hollow cone by a socket 16. An internal spring 2 twisted oppositely to the spring 14, is secured to the hollow cone.
