Foreign Patent Offices, 18, Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris,
France, and 6, Piccadilly, in the County of Middlesex, Patent
Agent, for the Invention of "NEW OR IMPROVED MACHINERY OR Appa-
RATUS FOR FIXED MACHINES FOR SPINNING OR TWISTING WOOL AND FIBROUS
MATERIALS IN GENERAL-A communication from Celestin Martin,
residing at Verviers, in the Kingdom of Belgium
Scaled the 18th January 1870, and dated the 21st July 1875.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henri Adrien Bonne-
ville at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his
Petition, on the 21st July 1875.
I, HENRI ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent
5 Offices, 18, Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris, France, and 6, Picca-
dilly, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare, the
nature of the said Invention for "NEW OR IMPROVED MACHINERY OR APPA-
RATUS FOR FIXED MACHINES FOR SPINNING OR TWISTING WOOL AND FIBROUS

page_text: MATERIALS IN GENERAL," communicated to me by Celestin Martin, a person
resident at Verviers, in the Kingdom of Belgium, to be as follows:-
The Invention relates to preventing the breakage of the thread during
the spinning, and consists in providing the thread drawing tube between
the feed cylinders and drawing cylinders of a fixed machine for spinning 5
wool and other fibrous materials with a number, of teeth or any other
similar device so as to prevent the jerk usually occuring between the
tube and the drawing cylinders, and thus avoid the breakage of the
thread.
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying Drawing, in which 10
Fig.-1 is the tube_used_up_till now; Fig. 2, the improved tube; Fig. 3
shows the position of the tube relatively to the other organs used for
drawing out the thread; Fig. 4 is the same view, working size.
•
In these Figures the same letters indicate similar parts.
Oylindres A deliver the thick thread or rovings ready to be drawn out. 15
Cylinders B are the drawing-out cylinders It is by the greater speed
given to the said cylinders B than to the cylinders A. that the degree of
drawing to be given to the thread is determined.
The balance piece regulates the twist of the thread during the drawing.
When the twist is too strong the thread becomes tighter, causes the 20
balance piece to descend, and then enters in the small grove D of
cylinder E, where the twist is stopped or moderated instantaneously.
The speed of this cylinder is proportionate to that of cylinders B.
The twist required for the drawing is given by tube F, which differs
from tube G, Fig. 1, in that the two lateral edges of the opening in 25
the top side of the said tube where the thread enters are provided with
a number of very fine pointed and compact teeth, the object of which is
to seize and hold the thread at each turn of the tube.
The usual tube, like the improved one, at each turn of the thread
gives it a jerk, by means of which the drawing is brought about at the 30
same time as by the simultaneous or immediate loosening of the thread.
The twist is given more freely beyond the balance piece C to the parts
of the thread which require it the most in order to have a regular
drawing; but this Jerk is rather inconvenient when the tube G is used.
While this jerk serves to lengthen the thread by stretching it the more 35
at each revolution of the tube, it frequently happens that when short
'

page_text: materials are being spun this jerk causes the thread to break between
the point of the beak of the tube and the point of contact of the
drawing cylindres B, as the thread being no longer twisted between these
two points is broken by too great and untimely a tension.
This disadvantage is got over by means of the toothed tube F. The
thread being seized and held fast by these teeth at each revolution of the
tube just as the jerk is about to be given, and it follows that the said
jerk is only felt from the toothed top part of the tube to the delivery or
feed cylinders A, and that the shock which was produced with the tubo
formerly used from the point of contact of the delivery cylinders A up to
the point of contact of the drawing cylinders B no longer takes place, the
thread being now carried to the beak of the tube by each of the revolutions
of the same, and the drawing cylinders B having only to draw it in the
desired proportion relatively to the degree of drawing required.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 18th January 1870
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRI
ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Forcign Patent Offices, 18,
Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris, France, and 6, Piccadilly, in the
County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-first day of July, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, in the thirty-
ninth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, givo
and grant unto me, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, Her special licence
that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR FIXED MACHINES FOR SPINNING OR TWISTING

page_text: WOOL AND FIBROUS MATERIALS IN GENERAL," communicated to me by Celestin
Martin, a person resident at Verviers, in the Kingdom of Belgium, upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville,
my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
my, or their, or one of their hands and scals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Scal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, do licrcby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
The Invention relates to preventing the breakage of the thread during
the spinning, and consists in providing the thread drawing tube between
the feed cylinders and diawing cylinders of a fixed machine for spinning
wool and other fibrous materials with a number of teeth or any other
similar device so as to prevent the Jerk usually occurring between
the tube and the drawing cylinders, and thus avoid the breakage of
the thread
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying Drawings, in which
Fig 1 is the tube used up till now, Fig 2, the improved tube, and
Fig 3 shows the position of the tube relatively to the other organs used
for drawing out the thread, Fig. 4 is the same view, working size
In these Figures the same letters indicate similar parts.
Cylinders A deliver the thick thread or rovings ready to be drawn out
Cylinders B are the drawing-out cylinders It is by the greater speed
given to the said cylinders B than to the cylinders A that the degree of
drawing to be given to the thread is determined.
The balance piece C regulates the twist of the thread during the
drawing. When the twist is too strong the thread becomes tighter,
causes the balance piece to descend, and then enters into the small
groove D of cylinder E, where the twist is stopped or moderated instan-
taneously. The speed of this cylinder is proportionate to that of
cylinders B.

page_text: The twist required for the drawing is given by tube F, which differs
from tube G, Fig. 1, in that the two lateral edges of the opening in the
top side of the said tube where the thread enters are provided with a
number of very fine pointed and compact teeth, the object of which is
to scize and hold the thread at each turn of the tube
The usual tube, like the improved one, at cach turn of the thread
gives it a jerk, by means of which the drawing is brought about, and at
the same time as by the simultaneous or immediate loosening of the
thread the twist is given more freely beyond the balance piece C to the
parts of the thread which require it the most in order to have a regular
drawing But this jerk is rather inconvenient when the tube G is used.
While this jerk serves to lengthen the thread by stretching it tho more
at each revolution of the tube, it frequently happens that when short
materials are being spun this jerk causes the thread to break between
the point II of the beak of the tube and the point of contact of the
drawing cylinders B, as the thread being no longer twisted between those
two points is broken by too great and untimely a tension.
This disadvantage is got over by means of the toothed tube F. The
thread being scized and held fast by these teeth at each revolution of the
tube just as the jerk is about to be given, it follows that the said jerk is
only felt from the toothed top part of the tube to the delivery or feed
cylinders A, and that the shock which was produced with the formerly
used tube from the point of contact of the delivery cylinders A up to
the point of contact of the drawing cylinders B no longer takes place,
the thread being now carried to the beak of the tube by each of the
revolutions of the same, and the drawing cylinder B having only to
draw it in the desired proportion relatively to the degree of drawing
required.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention and the
manner of carrying it into effect, I would have it understood that
I do not confine myself to the precise details above enumerated, as
these may obviously be modified without departing from the principle of
the Invention, but what I claim is,-
1 The system of tube above described and represented Fig. 2 in the
accompanying Drawing.
2. Any system of tube, which while causing the thread to describe a
sort of curvo before entering the said tube either by the side or by the
