PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Methods of Drying Cotton Yarns and similar
Substances in the Process of Mordanting, and in the Apparatus
therefor..
I, THOMAS PARKINSON of Canterbury Street, Blackburn Lancashire, Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A revolving main shaft suitably supported carries at each end a wheel. Each
radius of the wheel. carries two rods parallel to the direction of the main shaft, one
near the circumference, and one near the centre. Another parallel rod adjustable in
distance is carried in a slot on the rim of the wheel between every two radii. The
rods are covered by freely revolving rollers, and the two rollers on each radius are
furnished with cog. wheels. The hanks of yarn are placed over the two rollers on a
radius and an adjacent roller on the rim and the adjustable roller is fixed in the
desired position. A second shaft parallel to the main shaft is fixed to the wheel and
carries a cog wheel which moves round and works into the cogs of a wheel fixed on
the bearings of the main shatt. This second shaft by suitable gearing acts on shafts
running along the radii which latter shafts by means of worm wheels attached to them
engage with the cog wheels of the rollers.
When the main shaft revolves the wheel and hanks revolve and at the same
time the cog wheel on the second shaft gives motion to the radius shafts and so to
the rollers. By this means the position of the hanks on the rollers is constantly
changing.
If desired arrangements can be made for automatically stopping the machine after
a predetermined number of revolutions.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in the Methods of Drying Cotton Yarns and similar
Substances in the Process of Mordanting, and in the Apparatus
therefor.
I, THOMAS PARKINSON of Canterbury Street, Blackburn Lancashire Engineer 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 :-
In the drawings the same letters represent corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation showing the wheels C, C, carried by the shaft B
supported by frame A.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of wheel ¹.
Fig. 3 is plan of part of same on a larger scale.
Fig. 4 is view of one rod carrying roller.
The frame A supports a shaft B with fast pulley C and loose pulley D round
which a driving band can be placed. The shaft B carries wheels C₁, C, with
spokes E and slots D' in the circumference between every two spokes. Each
spoke E has attached to it two rods Q parallel to shaft B, one near the centre of
wheel the other at or near the circumference. Each rod carries a roller P freely
moving upon it and furnished with a cog wheel at its end near the wheel C. Another
similar rod A¹ is carried in every slot D¹ and can be fixed at any required position in
the slot by nut and screw or other suitable method. This rod A also carries a

page_text: roller B which, however, need not be furnished with a cog wheel. Along each
spoke E runs a rod L attached to wheel by supports M. On the bearings of shaft B
are fixed cog, wheels E through which the shaft B passes.
A shaft G is fixed to
wheel at H which shaft is furnished with cog wheel F fitting into and moving
round fixed cog wheel E.
When the shaft B is made.to revolve the wheels also revolve and the cog
wheel Fon shaft G is moved round by fixed cog wheel E. The worm or bevilled
cog wheel Jon shaft G thereupon acts on the cog wheel K and thereby rotates the
rod L. The worms N are thus made to act on the cog wheels O of rollers P,
and rotate the said rollers. Another wheel or worm R on rod L acts on wheel S of
rod Tand causes it to rotate, and another worm or wheel U on rod L in like manner
rotates rod W. A worm or wheel V on rod W causes rod Z to rotate.
rods T, W, Z act on rollers in the way already described for rod L.
The
Hanks of yarn are stretched over two rollers Q on spoke and an adjacent roller B¹
in slot. When the shaft B revolves the wheels C and the hanks of yarn also revolve
and at the same time the rollers have an additional revolving motion caused by the
shaft G, and the position of the banks on the rollers is thereby constantly
changing.
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 use and manufacture of the improved apparatus for drying cotton yarn and
similar substances in the process of mordanting or after dyeing substantially as
described in the foregoing specification and shown in the drawings.
