JOHN HEGINBOTTOM, 8 Godson Street, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster,
Bobbin Manufacturer, JOSEPH HEGINBOTTOM, 1, Stansfield Street, Oldham, in
the County of Lancaster, Bobbin Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the hooping of tubes or spools usually called bobbins
employed in the preparation of cotton wool or other fibrous materials, in our
invention we strengthen and preserve the ends of the tubes or spools with a hoop
of steel, or other metal, the hoop at one end haveing the driving slots between
the driving slots, we insert a projection or peg piercing into the tube, thereby
protecting the inside of the tube from the bobbin wheel rim, and as all the pegs
or projections pierce the tube & pointing to a center, the material the tube is
made of cannot contract or leave the protector, the protector may be conical or leval
in shape milled at one or both ends, or milled into a groove made in the tube.

:-
This invention relates to the hooping of tubes or spools, usually called bobbins,
employed in the preparation of cotton, wool, or other fibrous materials. in our
invention we strengthen and preserve the ends of the tubes or spools with hoops
of steel or other metal, Fig. 3 the hoop at one end being notched opposite the
driving slots S, between the driving slots we insert a projection, or peg P pierceing
into the tube sufficiently to prevent the chipping of the inside of the tube by
the bobbin wheel rim, and as all the pegs or projections pierce the tube pointing
to the centre Fig. 1 the material the tube is made of cannot contract or leave the
protector, the protector is conical shaped, or tapered, Fig. 2 and further secured
to the tube, by being milled at the top edge, or into a groove.

page_text: Fig. 1 showing pegs P which are triangular shaped and punched inwards from
the hoops, which when knocked on the end of the bobbin pierce the wood of the
bobbin sufficiently to prevent the bobbin wheel rim chipping off the inside of the
bobbin, the top edge of the hoop is milled down over a bead or enlargement to
prevent it working off as shown in section.
Fig. 2, C showing conical shape of hoops.
Fig. 3 showing bobbin with hoop on one end, P showing where pegs pierce tube,
when knocked on, S showing slot holes, these hoops are applicable for both ends
of bobbin if required top edge of hoop is milled over a bead or enlargement of
tube.
Fig. 4 showing end of hobbin, P, showing where pegs have pierced tube,
between each, S, slot hole.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention,
& in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1. Improvement in making pegs or projections which pierce the wood of the
bobbin sufficiently to prevent the chipping of the bobbin by the bobbin wheel
rim & prevent contraction & secure protector firm.
2. Improvement in making the protector conical shape.
