Improvements in and connected with Paste Boxes for use in the
Pasting of Cop Bottoms.
I ABRAHAM TAYLOR of 19 Bold Street Lower Rockliffe Bacup in the County
of Lancaster Mule Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction of the paste boxes which are used in
connection with a removable brush for applying paste to the bottoms of cops in
machines used for spinning, the principal objects of the invention being to prevent
the wasting of the paste and the smearing of the spindles occasioned by the escape
of the paste through or between the tufts of the bristles as it is very liable to do in
the paste boxes as hitherto constructed.
For the purposes of my invention I apply to the underneath edge of the opening
into which the brush is placed a projecting metal rim so that the underneath side
of such opening projects further than the upper side where the paste escapes, and
I encase the wooden back of the removable brush and a portion of the bristles
(say to about half their depth) in a piece of sheet metal (preferably brass) so that
the openings between the tufts where the bristles are inserted into the wooden
stock are entirely covered by the sheet metal, that part of the latter which is below
the brush being deeper than that part which is above the same, so that it supports
the bristles and at the same time prevents the paste from coming through to the
underside of the brush.
By these means the bristles are prevented from spreading out and the paste
which is delivered onto the upper side of the bristles is prevented from passing
through and is therefore confined to the edge of the brush or ends of the bristles
whereby it is conveyed direct to the cop bottom where it is required and prevented
from being wasted or smearing the spindles.
An adjustable guard is provided whereby the height of the brush can be
regulated to the exact position required, and the paste box is provided with the
usual slide for opening and closing the feed aperture

Improvements in and connected with Paste Boxes for use in the
Pasting of Cop Bottoms.
I ABRAHAM TAYLOR of 19 Bold Street Lower Rockliffe Bacup in the County
of Lancaster Mule Overlooker, 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 the construction of paste boxes which are used in
connection with a removable and reversible brush for applying paste to the bottoms
of "cops" in mules or other machines used for spinning cops the principal objects
of the invention being to keep the hole of the cop open and stiff when doffed off
the spindle and to prevent the wasting of the paste, and the smearing of the spindles
occasioned by the escape of the paste through or between the tufts of the bristles,
as it is very liable to do in the paste boxes as hitherto constructed and used for
the above purposes.

page_text: The nature of my invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed
or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the sheet
of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. on the drawing is an elevation of one of my improved paste boxes with
the removable brush in its place.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the paste box with the brush removed.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the brush.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the paste box, and
Fig. 5 a similar view of the brush.
a.is the paste box and 6 (see Figs. 2 and 4) the opening in which the brush is
placed.
C
For the purposes of my invention I apply to the underneath edge of the
opening 6 into which the brush is placed a projecting metal rim a' so that the
underneath side of such opening projects further than the upper side where the paste
escapes, and I encase the wooden back c of the removable brush and a portion of
the bristles d (say to about half their depth) in a piece of sheet metal e (preferably
brass) so that the openings between the tufts where the bristles d are inserted into
the wooden stock c are entirely covered by the sheet metal e, that part of the
latter which is below the brush being preferably deeper than that part which is
above the same, so that it supports the bristles d and at the same time prevents the
paste from coming through to the underside of the brush.
By these means the bristles d are prevented from spreading out and the paste
which is delivered onto the upper side of the bristles is prevented from passing
through and is therefore confined to the edge of the brush or ends of the bristles d
whereby it is conveyed direct to the cop bottom, where it is required and prevented
from being wasted or smearing the bare spindles.
An adjustable guard f is provided whereby the height of the brush can be
regulated to the exact position required, and the paste box is provided with the
usual slide g for opening and closing the feed aperture.
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 raised or projecting metal rim a¹ at the lower side of the opening which
receives the brush and the metal sheath applied to the wooden back or stick of the
brush and extending about half the depth of the bristles for the purpose of
preventing the paste from escaping through the openings between the tufts of the
bristles.
