Manufacturers IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OR ARRANGEMENT OF
APPARATUS OR APPLIANCES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF "PURL" AND " BULLION "
USED FOR EMBROIDERY PURPOSES
This invention has for object certain improvements in apparatus for the
manufacture of "Purl" and "Bullion" used for embroidery purposes and consists
mainly in arranging the wire or "plate" as it leaves the bobbin to be spun in
spiral order, on to a tapered metal end which it leaves under the action of a pair of
vertical rollers clothed with india rubber and set to speed to draw the spun wire
from the tapered end or mandril as soon as made. These rollers are geared at
their lower ends and their upper ends are adjustable by a screw appliance to
determine the bite upon the spun wire and to regulate the amount of draw. The
spindle of one of the rollers receives its motion from a worm and worm wheel
acted upon by a band from the main driving shaft or through an intermediate one.
The bobbin is carried by a rotating flyer or disc with a guide eye to lead the wire
on to the tapered metal point which is formed as an extension of a pin or spindle
which revolves in the reverse direction to that of the wire which is laid in spiral
order upon it consequently the wire is always free to leave it as made. The purl
or bullion as made can be wound upon other bobbins or reels or into hanks in the
usual manner

page_text: In some cases we use an india rubber edged disc for the purl or bullion to run
on as made to draw it from the tapered metallic end of the revolving spindle
"
When frosted threads" have to be produced the spindle with the tapered
metallic end is made hollow for the cotton or worsted to form the core to pass
through the tapered metallic end being made from the side of the spindle so as to
run round the core. Any number of colours can be used to produce the desired
effect.
By our invention manual labour is reduced to a minimum one assistant only
being required for three, four or six machines instead of one to each machine
which by the existing method demands incessant attention of the eyes and constant
manipulation by the fingers the work being only produced in short lengths and
then a reversing of the mandril to free the work from it. By our invention one
assistant can watch and attend to several machines on the same frame or table
and a constant production of purl or bullion is going on without any labour on the
part of the assistant and without the wearying and destructive application of the
eyesight.
Different sized wires for different sized purl or bullion can also be produced in
the same frame under the care of the said attendant.

This Invention has for object certain improvements in apparatus for the
manufacture of "Purl" and "Bullion" used for embroidery purposes and consists
mainly in arranging the wire or "plate" as it leaves the bobbin to be spun in
spiral order on to a tapered metal end which it leaves under the action of a pair of
vertical rollers clothed with india rubber and set to speed to draw the spun wire
from the tapered end or mandril as soon as made.
These rollers are geared at their lower ends and their upper ends are adjustable
by a screw appliance to determine the bite upon the spun wire and to regulate the
amount of draw.
The spindle of one of the rollers receives its motion from a worm and worm
wheel acted upon by a band from the main driving shaft or through an intermediate
one.
The bobbin is carried by a rotating flyer or disc with a guide eye to lead the
wire on to the tapered metal point which is formed as an extension of a pin or
spindle which revolves in the reverse direction to that of the wire which is laid in
spiral order upon it consequently the wire is always free to leave it as made.
Bullion" as made can be wound upon other bobbins or reels or
into hanks in the usual manner.
The " Purl" or
"
In some cases we use an india rubber edged disc for the "Purl" or "Bullion" to
run on as made to draw it from the tapered metallic end of the revolving spindle.
When "frosted threads" have to be produced the spindle with the tapered
metallic end is made hollow for the cotton or worsted to form the core to pass
through, the tapered metallic end being made from the side of the spindle so as to
run round the core. Any number of colours can be used to produce the desired
effect.
By our Invention manual labour is reduced to a minimum, one assistant only
being required for three, four, or six machines instead of one to each machine
which by the existing method demands incessant attention of the eyes and constant
manipulation by the fingers, the work being only produced in short lengths and
then a reversing of the mandril to free the work from it.
By our Invention one assistant can watch and attend to several machines on the
same frame or table and a constant production of "Purl or "Bullion" is going on
without any labour on the part of the assistant and without the wearying and
destructive application of the eyesight.
Different sized wires for different sized
"
Purl" or "Bullion" can also be
produced in the same frame under the care of the same attendant.

page_text: Having now described the nature of our said Invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed We declare that we claim :—
The improvements in the construction or arrangement of apparatus or appliances
for the manufacture of "Purl" and "Bullion" used for embroidery purposes as
herein before described.
In witness whereof we the said Frederic Stanton and Edwin Stanton have
hereunto set our hands and Seals this Eighth day of November in the
year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
