PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Condenser Bobbins for Mule Spinning, and
Similar Bobbins.
We, HERBERT HEATON and ARTHUR HEATON, of the Firm of Hearl Heaton & Sons,
of Liversedge, in the County of York, Machine Makers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in condenser bobbins employed in connection
with spinning mules and other similar bobbins in which the ends are formed of metal
discs fixed to sockets secured on the ends of a wooden or metal barrel or body, and
its object is to fix said discs to the said sockets in a cheap and secure manner.
For this purpose we make the socket with a flat outer end against which the disc
is placed and we employ a malleable iron or other suitable fixing plate or piece having
two or more projections or studs cast upon its inner face. Four of these studs are
preferably cast upon each fixing plate and holes are made through the disc and the
end of the socket in such a position that the said studs may be passed through them
when the fixing plate, the disc and the socket are placed concentric with each other.
To rigidly secure the parts in this position the inner ends of the studs are riveted
over by means of a suitable punch or swage placed inside the socket whilst the fixing
piece is supported upon a suitable bolster.
The centre pins forming the journals of the bobbin may project from the centre of
the said fixing pieces or they may be formed with the sockets and project through
central holes in the end discs and the fixing pieces.

Similar Bobbins.
We, HERBERT HEATON and ARTHUR HEATON, of the Firm of Hearl Heaton & Sons,
of Liversedge, in the County of York, Machine Makers, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in condenser bobbins employed in
connection with spinning mules and other similar bobbins in which the ends are
formed of metal discs fixed to sockets secured on the ends of a wooden or metal
barrel or body, and its objects is to fix said discs to the said sockets in a cheap and

preferably cast upon each fixing plate and holes are made through the disc and the

To rigidly secure the parts in this position the inner ends of the studs are riveted
over by means of a suitable punch or swage placed inside the socket whilst the fixing
piece is supported upon a suitable bolster.
To fully describe our invention reference is made to the accompanying sheet of
drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in each of the figures.
Figure 1, represents an elevation of a condenser bobbin in which the middle portion
is broken away to enable it to be shown on a larger scale.
Figure 2, represents a sectional view of one of the ends.
Figure 3, is a separate view of one of the end discs.
Figures 4 and 5, are two views of one of the fixing pieces, and Figures 6 and 7,
are two views of one of the sockets shown separately.
The sockets A are made with flat ends A2 through which the holes A³ are formed.
A similar number of holes B are formed through the end disc B2 and a corresponding
number of projections C are cast on the fixing pieces C². These projections are
passed through the holes in the discs and sockets and their inner ends are then
riveted over as clearly shown in Figure 2 to permanently secure the parts together.
Instead of the centre pins D which form the journals of the bobbin being formed
on the pieces C2 they may be formed with the ends A2 of the sockets and project
through central holes in the end disc and fixing pieces.
The sockets A are secured to the barrel E in the ordinary way.
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 :
The improved means or method of fixing the end discs of condenser and similar
bobbins, substantially as herein shown and described.
