PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and in Means for Preparing or Spinning, and
subsequently Bleaching, Textile Fibres on Slubbing, Inter-
mediate, or Roving Bobbin or Cop Tubes.
I, JAMES HENRY LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw, near Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in and in means for preparing and
subsequently bleaching cotton and other fibres (on a slubbing, intermediate or
roving frame tube) or spinning and subsequently bleaching the yarn on a cop
tube and consists first in the use and application of a perforated tube fixed
detachably on the tube or bobbin of a slubbing, intermediate or roving frame,
or on a conical boss at the base of a spinning spindle and a cap on the spindle
point. The fibrous material is prepared in the form of a slubbing, intermediate or
roving bobbin on the perforated tube, or spun upon the perforated tube in the
form of a cop, and any convenient number of slubbing, intermediate or roving
bobbins or spun cops with their perforated tubes are then preferably placed in
a bag or other appliance and after boiling placed in a vacuum kier containing
the bleaching liquor, which is drawn through the bobbins or cops and the
perforations in the tubes the slubbing, intermediate or roving bobbins or
spun cops are thorougy saturated or impregnated and bleached. The tubes
may be of any suitable material and construction; but I prefer to make each
tube of a strip of perforated sheet metal rolled into a tube, which may or may not
be slightly taper, with a longitudinal division or split which gives sufficient
elasticity to enable the tube to bind firmly on the slubbing, intermediate or
roving frame tube or on the conical boss and cap on the spinning spindle.
Dated this 16th day of April 1895.

and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-

roving bobbin on the perforated tube, or spun upon the perforated tube in
the form of a cop, and any convenient number of slubbing, intermediate or roving
bobbins or spun cops with their perforated tubes are then preferably placed in
a bag or other appliance and after boiling placed in a vacuum kier containing
the bleaching liquor, until the slubbing, intermediate or roving bobbins or spun
cops are thoroughly saturated or impregnated and bleached. The bleaching
liquor is then drawn off and a vacuum produced in the kier by means of a
pump in the ordinary manner well understood in order to complete the process
by extracting the bleaching liquor remaining in the bobbins or cops. The tubes
may be of any suitable material and construction; but I prefer to make each
tube of a strip of perforated sheet metal rolled into a tube, which may or may not
be slightly taper, with a longitudinal division or split which gives sufficient
elasticity to enable the tube to bind firmly on the slubbing, intermediate or
roving frame tube or on the conical boss and cap on the spinning spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The herein described improvements consisting first in preparing fibrous material
in the form of a slubbing, intermediate or roving bobbin on a perforated
tube or spinning fibrous material on a perforated tube in the form of a cop and
secondly placing any convenient number of such bobbins or spun cops with their
perforated tubes in a vacuum kier containing bleaching liquor until the fibrous
material is effectually bleached.
