PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Bobbins, Spools, and Tubes
used for the Spinning, Doubling, or Winding of Flax, Cotton,
and other Fibres.
•
I THOMAS EDWARD WILSON of Rue de la Gare 40 Lille Nord France Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
These improvements in the construction of bobbins and tubes consist in the
employment of fluted or corrugated metal barrels in the manufacture of bobbins
spools or tubes used for the spinning doubling or winding of yarn or thread of any
description.
The said flutes or corrugations are made longitudinal that is in the direction
of the length of the barrels and may be made straight oblique curved or wavy for
the purpose of giving the barrels strength and rigidity to resist compression or
bending.
These fluted or corrugated barrels may be made from solid drawn or rolled.
metal tubes or from sheet metal of any suitable kind and to any required
dimensions.
The longitudinal joints of the tubes may be made by folding brazing soldering or
other convenient method.
To the ends of these fluted or corrugated barrels are fitted heads and bushes of
wood papier-mache metal or other suitable material so as to make them into bobbins
spools or tubes for the purposes required.
The advantages claimed for these bobbins spools or tubes with longitudinal
fluted or corrugated metallic barrels are strength and durability combined with
lightness.
Dated this 30th day of December 1892.

Improvements in the Construction of Bobbins, Spools, and Tubes
used for the Spinning, Doubling, or Winding of Flax, Cotton,
and other Fibres.
I, THOMAS EDWARD WILSON of Rue de la Gare 40, Lille Nord France Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be.
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
These improvements in the construction of bobbins and tubes consist in the
employment of fluted or corrugated metal barrels in the manufacture of bobbins
spools or tubes used for the spinning doubling or winding of yarn or thread of
any description.
The said flutes or corrugations are made longitudinal that is in the direction
of the length of the barrels and may be made straight oblique curved or wayy
for the purpose of giving the barrels strength and rigidity to resist compression
or bending.
These fluted or corrugated barrels may be made from solid drawn or rolled
metal tubes or from sheet metal of any suitable kind and to any required
dimensions.
The longitudinal joints of the tubes may be made by folding brazing soldering
or other convenient method.

page_text: To the ends of these fluted or corrugated barrels are fitted heads and bushes of
wood papier-mache metal or other suitable material so as to make them into bobbins
spools or tubes for the purposes required.
Such being the nature of my invention the drawing herewith gives three
illustrations of bobbins Figs. 1 and 2 spools Figs. 3 and 4 and tubes Figs. 5 and 6.
The barrels (6) being fluted or corrugated longitudinally or in the direction of the
length or axis of the barrels (b).
The form of the flute or corrugation may be of any shape best suited to the
particular purpose for which it is designed, three different forms being shewn in
Figs. 2, 4 and 6.
The advantages claimed for these bobbins spools or tubes with longitudinal
fluted or corrugated metallic barrels are strength and durability combined with
lightness.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what. I
claim is :-
The construction of bobbins spools or tubes with fluted or corrugated metallic
barrels parallel to the axis as described and illustrated.
