PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bobbins for Ring Spinning, Doubling, or Winding
Frames.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS, and RICHARD ALEXANDER DOXEY, both
of The Union Ironworks, West Gorton, in the County of Lancaster, Machine
Makers, and WILLIAM HALL Cook, of 96 Stanley Grove, Longsight, in the said
County, Assistant Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention is designed with the object of preventing vibration of the top of
the bobbin on the spindle due to the wear which takes place and to provide a
bobbin that will always retain its grip on the top of the spindle.
It consists essentially in constructing the bobbin with an elastic washer placed
internally away from the bottom of the bobbin preferably near the top through
which the spindle passes and which grips the spindle.
In carrying out the invention the bobbin is of ordinary shape and internally
preferably near the top we fit an elastic washer of rubber, spring, cloth leather or
other material. The washer is formed with a central hole through which the end
of the spindle passes and which it grips.
The washer may be fitted into position either from the top or bottom of the
bobbin and secured by a wooden or other plug or ring inserted afterwards or by a
metal clip or equivalent appliance.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bobbins for Ring Spinning, Doubling, or Winding
Frames.
We, SAMUEL HERBERT BROOKS, and RICHARD ALEXANDER DOXEY, both
of The Union Ironworks, West Gorton, in the County of Lancaster, Machine
Makers, and WILLIAM HALL Cook, of 96 Stanley Grove, Longsight, in the said
County, Assistant Manager, 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 is designed with the object of preventing vibration of the top of
the bobbin on the spindle due to the wear which takes place and to provide a
bobbin that will always retain its grip on the top of the spindle.
It consists essentially in constructing the bobbin with an elastic washer placed
internally preferably near the top through which the spindle passes and which grips
the spindle.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
several examples of bobbins are shown with the invention applied to them.
The bobbin A is constructed of ordinary shape externally, and internally bored
out as usual to receive the spindle.
Internally preferably near the top of the bobbin we fit and secure an elastic
washer B of rubber, metallic spring, cloth, leather or other suitable material. The
elastic washer B is formed with a central hole through which the end of the spindle
passes and which it closes upon and grips.
The elastic washer B may be of any convenient shape or form, such as shown in

page_text: the drawings, and may be inserted either from the top or bottom end of the bobbin.
It is secured and maintained in position by a wooden, metal or other ring or bush C
or by a suitable metal clip inserted after it has been placed in position.
The elasticity of the washer B causes it to maintain a grip on the spindle and
prevents any vibration, shaking or rising of the bobbin on the spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
A bobbin for ring spinning, doubling or winding frames constructed with an
elastic washer placed internally preferably near the top of the bobbin to close upon
and grip the spindle and prevent the bobbin vibrating or shaking or rising thereon
substantially as described.
