We THOMAS WRIGLEY Mill Manager Robinwood House and JOSHUA HENRY
WILSON Bobbin Manufacturer, Cornholme both of Todmorden in the County of
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BOBBINS
FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING FRAMES to be as follows:-
Our improvements has reference to bobbins working over long collars or bearings of
spindles, and where seperate tubes or shells are used betwixt the outside of the collar
and the barrel of the bobbin, which tubes or shells revolve on the collar with the
bobbin.
One part of our invention consists in making bobbins with barrels of cast iron or
other metal either with or without flanges or ends, made to fit and work on the long
collar, exactly in the same way as the seperate tube or shell, thus dispensing with the
seperate tube-Ends or flanges to the bobbins may be made of wood, screwed on, or
otherwise fastened to the barrel, or of metal soldered on, or fixed to the barrel in any
suitable manner.
Another part of our invention consists in making bobbins with barrels made of steel
or other metal tubing, either without or with wood or metal ends, to work on or with
the seperate tubes or shells, as at present-If required snugs may be fixed on the
tube or shell to fit in corresponding recesses in the barrel-thus securing uniform
motion to the bobbin and shell.

Our improvements have reference to bobbins working over long collars or bearings
of spindles and where separate tubes or shells are used betwixt the outside of the
collar and the barrel of the bobbin which tubes or shells revolve on the collars with
the bobbins.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Fig. 1 illustrates in section the first part of
our invention which consists in making bobbins with barrels of cast iron or other
metal (either with or without flanges or ends) made to fit and work on long collars
exactly in the same way as the separate tube or shell thus dispensing with the
separate tube.
a is the spindle (not shown in section) the long collar in general
usc c the barrel of the bobbins made in exactly the same way, and of the same
material as the ordinary shell or tube, and working on the long collar in
the usual manner. Ends or flanges d for the bobbins may be made of wood
and screwed on up to a shoulder, as shewn in the drawing, or otherwise fastened to
the barrel e or, they may be made of metal soldered on or fixed to the barrel in any
suitable manner. Fig. 2 illustrates in section the second part of our invention, and
consists in making bobbins with barrels made of steel or other metal tubing (either

tubing, the flanges d-when required-may be made of wood and serewed on up to a
shoulder made on the tube or barrel, or otherwise fastened or, they may be made of
metal soldered on or fixed to the tube or barrel in any suitable manner-If required―
snugs may be fixed on the lower end and outside the tube or shell c to fit in corre-
sponding recesses in the barrel e (in the manner well known in roving frame bobbins)
thus securing uniform motion to the bobbin and shell.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
First Making bobbins with barrels of cast iron or other metal, either with or with-
out flanges made to fit and work on long collars thus dispensing with separate tubes
or shells as shewn and described.
