PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Means or Method of Placing Uniform Drag or
Tension on the Bobbins employed in Drawing and other like
Frames.
I, WILLIAM ILLINGWORTH, trading as Henry Illingworth and Sons, of Pendle-
ton Mill, Elland, in the County of York, Worsted Spinners, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My invention consists in a new means or method of placing uniform drag or
tension upon the bobbins of drawing and other like frames.
According to my invention I place a ring upon the lifting plate and upon this
ring I place a washer made of cloth or other suitable material and afterwards I
place a metallic cover or cap over the said cloth washer. The bobbin to be wound
upon rests upon the upper surface of the top metallic cap consequently the drag
on the flange of the bobbin is uniform and regular.
By forming a projection on the upper surface of the ing the washer is kept
away from the flange of the cap and cannot be drawn off by the said flange which
might happen if the cloth washer came into contact with the said flange.
By means of my invention the cloth washer is kept apart from the spindle and
cannot be destroyed by careless handling of the spindle, and moreover by having
equal drag upon the bobbin better work and if necessary increased speed can be
obtained.

A New or Improved Means or Method of Placing Uniform Drag or
Tension on the Bobbins employed in Drawing and other like
Frames.
I, WILLIAM ILLINGWORTH, trading as Henry Illingworth and Sons, of Pendle
ton Mill, Elland, in the County of York, Worsted Spinners, 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:-
My invention consists in a new means or method of placing uniform drag or
tension upon the bobbins of drawing and other like frames. According to my
invention I place a ring upon the lifting plate and upon this ring I place a washer
made of cloth or other suitable material and afterwards I place a metallic cover or
077

page_text: cap upon said cloth washer. The bobbin to be wound upon, rests upon the upper
surface of the top metallic cap consequently the drag on the flange of the bobbin
is uniform and regular.
By forming a projection on the upper surface of the ring the washer is kept
away from the flange of the cap and cannot be drawn off by the spindle which might
happen if the cloth washer came in contact with the said flange.
The annexed drawings illustrate my improvements, Fig. 1 being a sectional
elevation of same and Figs. 2 and 3 modifications. A is the spindle of the frame,
and B the lifting rail. Upon the lifting rail B I fix around each spindle a ring C
made secure to the lifting rail by set screws D. Upon this stationary ring C
is placed a washer E made of cloth, felt, or other fibrous material, and surrounding
the ring and washer is placed a metal cap F upon which the bobbin G rests.
On the upper surface of the ring C is a projection c for the purpose of keeping
the washer E away from the spindle and also from the flange of the cap F.
By means of my invention the cloth washer E is kept apart from the spindle and
cannot be destroyed by careless handling of the spindle. Moreover by having an
equal drag upon the bobbins, better work is produced and if necessary an increased
speed can be obtained.
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:-
In drawing and other like frames the combination of ring C washer E and
metallic cover F for placing uniform drag or tension on the bobbins all arranged
and operating in the manner set forth.
