Improvements in or connected with the Winding, Spooling; Reeling,
or Making-up of. Tailors' Twist and other Silks, Threads; and
Cottons.
I, HAROLD GOODWIN, of Britannia Mills,. Leek, in the. County of Stafford,
Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Although this invention is primarily intended for use in the: winding or spooling:
of what is commonly termed tailor's. button-hole twiat." it may also be: employed,
if desired in the winding or spooling of: other twists, silks, threads,.cottons and the:
like where more than one strand-thread. or end is wound onto the spool or bobbin,
simultaneously. It might also be employed with advantage when the materials are
put up in the form of skeins!
In the spooling or winding of this: materiall it is customary to take six, nine or.
twelve (more or less) separate and distinct strands, threads or ends and wind. them.
on to the spool or bobbin simultaneously. In the unwinding of these:spools when
in use considerable difficulty has hitherto been experienced owing to the liability"
of the strands or threads to become entangled or ruffled and considerable waste.and.
annoyauce has been thereby occasioned:.
My invention has been designed with the object: of overcoming these difficulties.
and consists essentially in imparting to the strands or threads preferably during the
process of spooling or winding a loose or open twist, plait or braid and so preventing.
the threads becoming entangled or ruffled when unwound for use:.
In carrying out the invention: I prefer to divide the threads or strands into two
sections of equal number and twist cach section separate or distinct from the other.
The two twisted sections are then brought. together and twisted in the reverse.or
opposite direction to the first twists given to the sections.. This method of imparting.
the twist I find prevents the tendency of the threads: to untwist when the. ends are,
left loose on the spool or bobbin. Although I prefer this method of twisting,
the threads may be otherwise. twisted or plaited or braided if found more
suitable.
This twisting or plaiting may be imparted to the strands or threads in
the ordinary spooling or winding machine or in any other suitable or convenient
manner.

Improvements in or connected with the Winding, Spooling, Reeling,.
or Making-up of Tailors' Twist and other Silks, Threads, and.
Cottons.
I, HAROLD GOODWIN, of Britannia Mills, Leek, in the County of Stafford,.
Cominercial Traveller, 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 :-
Although this invention is primarily intended for use in the winding or spooling
of what is commonly termed "tailor's button-hole twist" it may also be employed
if desired in the winding or spooling of other twists, silks, threads, cottons and the
like where more than one strand thread or end is wound on to the spool or bobbin
simultaneously. It might also be 'employed with advantage when the materials are
put up in the form of skeins.
In the spooling or winding of this material it is customary to take six, nine or
twelve (more or less) separate and distinct strands, threads or ends and wind them
on to the spool or bobbin simultaneously. In the unwinding of these spools when
in use considerable difficulty has hitherto been experienced owing to the liability of
the strands or threads to become entangled or ruffled and considerable waste and
annoyance has been thereby occasioned.
My invention is designed with the object of overcoming these, difficulties and
consists essentially in imparting to the strands or threads preferably during the
process of spooling or winding a loose or open twist plait or braid thereby
preventing the threads becoming entangled or ruffled when unwound for use.
The drawing shows a reel of tailor's twist made up in accordance with my
invention.
I divide the threads a into two sections of equal number and twist each section,
separate or distinct from the other. The two twisted sections are then brought
together and twisted in the reverse or opposite direction to the first twists given to.
the sections. This method of imparting the twist I find prevents the tendency of
the threads to untwist when the ends are left loose on the spool or bobbiu.
Although I prefer this method of twisting the threads a may be otherwise
twisted or plaited or braided if found more suitable.
This twisting or plaiting may be imparted to the strands or threads by hand or
the ordinary twisting braiding plaiting spooling or winding machinery or in any.
other suitable or convenient manner.
Having
now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.-
1. The reeling spooling or making up. of tailor's twists and other threads.
substantially as and for the purpose described and shown.
2. The method of making up tailor's twists and other threads which consists in
twisting braiding or plaiting the finished threads loosely or otherwise together as or
before they are wound upon reels blocks cones tubes cards, spools, or into
skeins and balls to prevent entanglement when lengths are cut off substantially as
described.
