PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Size Boiling and Feeding Apparatus for Taping
or Slashing Machines employed for Sizing Textile Yarns for
Weaving.
We, MILES BURY of 215 Bolton Road, Mill Manager, and WILLIAM THOMAS
BURY of 4 Sunny Bank Street, Sizer, both of Darwen in the County of Lancaster,
do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to improvements in size boiling and feeding apparatus for
taping or slashing machines for sizing textile yarns for weaving, and consists in
providing a copper or other suitable metallic cylinder fitted at its lower end with
inlet pipes for steam and size, the latter being conveyed from the usual mixing vat
or vessel by means of a pump or otherwise.
"
Immediately size is admitted to the said cylinder it is operated upon by the steam
and is boiled in its passage through the same to a pipe leading from its upper side
to the " SOW or starch box of the machine. To ensure of the size being thoroughly
broken up and boiled the metallic cylinder may be fitted with one or more
mid feathers each having one or more holes or slots. The inlet pipes to the boiling
cylinder and the "sow" box may be fitted with valves or cocks of any suitable
description to regulate the same according to requirements.
The inlet pipe to
66 Sow "box may be provided with a three-way valve or cock
to allow of boiling being performed separately or when feeding size or starch
therein. The boiling cylinder is fitted with a gauge to indicate the pressure
therein.

page_text: The inlet pipe to "sow" box may be provided with a three-way valve or cock to
allow of boiling being performed separately or when feeding size or starch therein.
The boiling cylinder is fitted with a gauge to indicate the pressure therein.
Fig. 1 is a side view of our invention for boiling size and feeding apparatus for
taping or slashing machines employed for sizing textile yarns for weaving.
Fig. 2 an end view, and Fig. 3 a sectional elevation of metallic cylinder showing
midfeathers.
A is the framework of the machine, and B the "sow" or starch box. The
copper or other metallic vertical cylinder C is fitted at its lower end with the inlet
steam pipe D and size pipe E. The size is supplied to the pipe E. from the usual
mixing vat or vessel by means of a pump or otherwise, the latter being effected
by raising the mixing vat or vessel sufficiently high to allow the size to flow by
gravitation.

To
Immediately size is admitted to the vertical cylinder C it is operated upon by
steam from the pipe D and is boiled in its upward passage through the vertical
cylinder C, from whence it passes through the pipe G fixed to the upper side or end
of the said vertical cylinder C to the "sow" or starch box B of the machine.
ensure of the size being thoroughly broken up and boiled by the action of steam
supplied therein by the pipe D the vertical cylinder C is fitted with one or more
midfeathers H, each having one or more holes or slots I. The inlet pipes D and E
are fitted with valves or cocks of any suitable description to regulate the same
according to requirements. The inlet pipe G to " SOW or starch box B is provided
with the three-way valve or cock M to allow of boiling being performed separately.
or when feeding size or starch therein.
"
The vertical boiling cylinder C is provided with the gauge N to indicate the
pressure therein.
If desired two or more vertical cylinders may be employed
connected by pipes in any convenient manner.
We would have it understood that when using or employing our invention it is
not necessary that size be boiled under pressure; also that the gauge N and
valve M may be dispensed with if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In combination with taping or sizing machines employed for sizing textile
yarns for weaving the use of a vertical cylinder or cylinders for boiling size to be
supplied to ".sow or starch-box, substantially as described and illustrated in the
annexed drawings.
