Improvements in Cones Employed in Yarn Winding and like
Machines, and in the Manufacture of such Cones.
We, CHARLES HENRY HORNER and JAMES DOBSON HORNER, both of 23,
Northgate, Halifax, in the County of York, Jewellers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
This invention relates to cones employed in the manufacture of cotton yarns, and
which cones have heretofore been made of boxwood, part of the cone being encased
in brass, the defect of such construction was that in time the friction of the yarn
formed an indent in the cone, and through the shrinkage of the wood part of
the cone the yarn was liable to catch the edge of the brass.
According to this invention and by means of the tools hereinafter described
we form and apply a complete covering for the cone and for its ends whereby
the encasement of the wood is absolutely secured and the defect above referred to
is remedied.
By means of a punch and die, blanks are struck which are applied to a second
die of conical form and provided with a recess in the head of the die for securing
the blank in position whilst a "he" die or presser forces the blank into the
die, from which it is removed into a like die and there further contracted, a
third die being used and a conical "he" die forms the cone which is thence placed
in a finishing die, the "he" presser being recessed on its under surface so as to
fold over the upper edge of the cone and thereby enclose the internal wood cone
and also its larger end. The smaller end of the cone is then punched or bored
out in the centre for the reception of the cone spindle.

We, CHARLES HENRY HORNER, and JAMES DOBSON HORNER both of 23,
Northgate, Halifax, in the County of York, Jewellers, do hereby declare the nature
f this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
articularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of cones employed
TD 077

page_text: in the manipulation of cotton yarns, which cones have heretofore been made of
boxwood partly encased in brass, and the uaefect of such construction was that in
time the friction of the yarn formed an indent in the cone, and through the
shrinkage of the wooden part of the cone the yarn was liable to catch the edge of
the brass and be cut or damaged thereby.
The object of the present invention is to construct a cone entirely covered with
brass so as to obviate and overcome the above mentioned.defects.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which:
-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved cone.
Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of the improved cone.
'According to this invention we form and apply a complete covering 1 of brass
to the boxwood cone 2 the ends of the boxwood cone being covered by the brass.
The boxwood cone 2 is turned in the ordinary manner and the brass shell or
covering 1 is made from a disc struck with a punch and die from a sheet of
metal, and the blanks when struck are by a second die of conical form and a "he"
die or presser, pressed into the form of a conical shell and before the shell is
reduced to the desired shape and size it may be necessary to pass it through two or
more of the pressing processes according to the thickness and strength of the
metal used. The boxwood cone 2 is placed in the shell and the overhanging
portion or edge is spun or turned over the wide end of the boxwood cone and the
improved cone is finished by "turning" in a lathe. There is a hole punched in the
smaller end of the metal shell for the passage of the cone spindle 3 which protrudes
beyond each end of the cone as ordinary.
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:-
(1) The improved manufacture of cones as herein described and substantially
as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
(2) A cone consisting of a boxwood inner portion or centre and an outer
covering of metal as and for the purpose herein discribed and substantially as
illustrated by the annexed drawings.
