Year: 1872

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Charles Henry Bayley, of Bolton, in the County
of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, and Frederick Luke Stott, of
Rochdale, in the same County, Machinist, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO MACHINES FOR WINDING AND REELING
COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS VARN OR THREAD"

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Henry Bayley
and Frederick Luke Stott at the Office of the Commissioners of
Patents, with their Petition, on the 26th October 1872. .
We, CHARLES HENRY BAYLEY, of Bolton, in the County of Lancaster,
Cotton Spinner, and FREDERICK LUKE STOTT, of Rochdale, in the same
County, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO MACHINES FOR WINDING AND REELING
COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS YARN OR THREAD," to be as follows:-
L
Our improvements in winding machines are made upon those for
which Letters Patent were granted to us, No. 581, and dated the 23rd.

page_text: February A.D. 1872, and consist in combining with the roller or
clearer described in the Specification of the said Patent another roller
or clearer in front of the guide plate, and touching or nearly touching
the guide plate; and also another roller or clearer formed by washers of
fibrous materials, which touches or nearly touches the last-named roller
or clearer in front of the guide plate. The threads pass over and are
cleared and smoothed by the washer roller, but they just pass above the
other two roller clearers, one in front the other behind the guide plate.
All three rollers are geared to work together, the washer roller turning
by preference in a direction contrary to that in which the threads are
passing over it.
·
The rollers may be driven as explained in the Specification of our
said Patent.
1 Our Invention further consists in applying the said washer rollers
either alone or in combination with the other said rollers to reels for
reeling yarn or threads. The washer roller is placed so that the threads
will pass over it before passing to the guide eyes or guide plate
which guides the threads on to the "swift," and the rollers or clearers
are driven from the axis of the swift or from a wheel in gear
with it.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Charles Henry Bayley and Frederick Luke Stott
in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 26th April 1873.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, CHARLES
HENRY BAYLEY, of Bolton, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton
Spinner, and FREDERICK LUKE STOTT, of Rochdale, in the same County,
Machinist, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-sixth day of October, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the
thirty-sixth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto us, the said Charles Henry Bayley and Frederick

Luke Stott, Her special license that we, the said Charles Henry Bayley
and Frederick Luke Stott, our executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as we, the said Charles Henry Bayley and Frederick Luke
Stott, our executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time
agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO MACHINES FOR WINDING AND REELING
COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS YARN OR THREAD," upon the condition (amongst
others) that we, the said Charles Henry Bayley and Frederick Luke
Stott, by an instrument in writing under our hands and seals, or under
the hand and seal of one of us, should particularly describe and ascertain
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was
to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal
Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Charles Henry Bayley and
Frederick Luke Stott, do hereby declare the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
and the accompanying Drawings (that is to say) :-
Our improvements in winding machines are made upon those for
which Letters Patent were granted to us, No. 581, and dated the
Twenty-third February, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and seventy-two, and consist in combining with the roller or
clearer described in the Specification of the said Patent another roller,
clearer, or rotating brush in front of the guide plate and touching or
nearly touching the guide plate, and also another roller or clearer
formed by washers of fibrous materials, which touches or nearly touches
the last-named roller, clearer, or brush in front of the guide plate. The
threads pass over and are cleared and smoothed by the washer roller,
|but they just pass above the other two rollers or clearers, one in front
the other behind the guide plate; but when a rotating roller carrying a
brush is used, the passing threads may go below the ends of the bristles
when passing round. All three rollers or the two rollers and brush are
geared to work together, the washer roller turning by preference in a

page_text: direction contrary to that in which the threads are passing over it. If
preferred the washer roller may remain stationary.
The rollers may be driven as explained in the Specification of our said
Patent, or in any other convenient manner.
Fig. 1 is a section of the trewerse rail and the parts attached to it,
forming the subject of our Invention; and Fig. 2 is a front view, the
washer roller being omitted to show the brushes more clearly. These
two views illustrate our improvements; j, traverse bar; k, thread guide
. plate; 1, screws for adjusting the threads in winding; m, roller or
clearer; m², flannel; 1, bearings for the roller or clearer m.
The parts shown by the above-named letters of reference are the same
as those described in the Specification of our said Patent; p, are
brackets secured to the traverse bar j at suitable distances to carry the
parts added; q is a clearer or brush (we prefer the latter) which may be
formed by inserting a row of bristle or tufts of bristles q' in a slot or
line of holes in a wood or metal roller; ¹ is the roller formed by
washers of fibrous materials placed close together on a metal rod (r).
The threads (x) which are being wound pass over the washers (¹),
through the guide plate k, and over the T adjusters 1, as shown. The
line of tufts of bristles q³ in rotating, as shewn by the arrow, wipe the
front of the guide plate (k), and the fibres removed by the bristles are
carried and left upon a plate having comb teeth ¹, or upon the
bristles S¹ of a brush in a fixed bar S, the ends of which fit holes in the
brackets p from which they can be readily removed at intervals to clean
away the fibres accumulated upon them.
If desired a roller or shaft may be substituted for the stationary
bar (S), arranged so as to be turned half-way round to the lower side
when the fibres are to be removed, which may be readily done by a
coarse card or comb, the shaft being then turned back into the erect
position.
We have now particularly described the nature of our Invention, and
the manner of carrying the same into effect, and claim as our
Invention,―
;
Firstly. The roller, clearer, or brush (9') in front of the guide
plate (K) of winding machines, as and for the purpose herein-before
described and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings.

page_text: Secondly. The combination of the rollers or clearers (m), rotary
brush (g), stationary brush (S¹), and washer roller (¹), substantially as
herein-before described and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Frederick Luke Stott, on my own
behalf, and on behalf of the said Charles Henry Bayley, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-fifth day of April
One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three.
