Cops ; winding- machines; yarns and threads, finishing &c.- Relates to a method of winding, supporting, and retaining yarn &c. in porous cops or packages, which can be effectively subjected to the operations of bleaching, dyeing, mordanting, steaming, scouring, washing, &c. The material is wound with what is known as the " V," " Universal " or quick-traverse wind upon a flexible or elastic tube of openwork, woven, or knitted fabric A placed upon the spindle B, the surplus length of tube at the larger end of the spindle being placed in a pocket or groove b, while at the smaller end it is allowed to hang loose. The diameter of the spindle is larger than usual, and the coils of yarn are separated somewhat, instead of being placed close together. When the cop or package is completely wound, the loose ends of the tube A are folded over the ends of the cop and secured together, either by folding them over one another, as shown in Fig. 2, or by lacing. Two systems of lacing the ends together are illustrated, in one of which the ends of the tube A are slit longitudinally, to facilitate tha folding of the tube over the ends of the cop. The enclosed cop or package may now be subjected to any of the operations referred to above, and subsequently applied to the delivery spindle of a winding or knitting machine, as shown in Fig. 5, when, the outer portions of the enclosing tube having been removed, the cop or package will unwind from the end, as shown.
