PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Bobbins used in Machines for
Preparing Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
We, GEORGE PALEY, of Bank Top Mills, Preston, in the County of Lancaster,
Cotton Spinner and Manufacturer, and JAMES ANDERTON SUTCLIFFE, of Globe.
Works, Blackburn, in the same county, Sheet Metal Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with bobbins used in
machines for preparing cotton and other fibrous materials and has for its object to
provide means for preventing in such bobbins wear and tear on the uotches which
engage with the washer or bobbin wheel. Our invention is applicable to bobbins
used either with long or short collars and also to sheet metal bobbins having wooden
end pieces.
In carrying our said invention into effect we drill a small hole-one on each side
of the notch-and saw a narrow opening from the end of the bobbin into each of
the said holes. We then take a sheet metal sheath suitably formed to fit or line the
inside edges or surfaces of the notch and bent over to such a shape as to allow of its
being pushed sidewise into the notch and the narrow openings on each side thereof.
The edges of the sheath are turned over or curled to form enlargements or beads
which fit into the small holes on each side of the notch the sheath being thus held
in position and prevented from being moved out of place endwise. To prevent the
sheaths in the several notches being moved out of place sidewise we employ a thin
metal hoop or ferrule whose lower edge projects about half way over the notch.
The hoop or ferrule having been "spun" fast upon the hobbin-its lower edge
being preferably turned or pressed into a nick or groove-that part of the ferrule
which projects over the notch is cut so as to form a lip or tongue which is turned
over on to the protecting sheath and soldered thereto. In the case of the wooden
end pieces of sheet metal bobbins we provide such end pieces with an inner annulus
of sheet metal in addition to the outer hoop or ferrule and so are able to provide an
inner as well as an outer lip or tongue which we bend and press over each other and
solder both fast upon the protecting sheath.

Improvements in or connected with Bobbins used in Machines for
Preparing Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
We, GEORGE PALEY, of Bank Top Mills, Preston, in the County of Lancaster,
Cotton Spinner and Manufacturer, and JAMES ANDERTON SUTCLIFFE, of Globe
Works, Blackburn, in the same county, Sheet Metal 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with bobbins used in

page_text: machines for preparing cotton and other fibrous materials and has for its object to
provide means for preventing in such bobbins wear and tear on the notches which
engage with the washer or bobbin wheel. Our invention is applicable to bobbins
used either with long or short collars and also to sheet metal bobbins having end
pieces made of wood, compressed paper, or other suitable material.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is an elevation; and
Fig. 2 a sectional view illustrating the method of applying our invention to an
ordinary wooden bobbin ; and
Fig. 3 shews the method of applying it to sheet metal bobbins.
We drill a small hole a-one on each side of the notch band saw a narrow
opening c from the end of the bobbin d into each of the said holes a a. We then
take a sheet metal sheath e suitably formed to fit or line the inside edges or surfaces
of the notch band bent over to such a shape as to allow of its being pushed side-
wise into the notch and the narrow openings cc, on each side thereof. The ends or
edges of the sheath are turned over or curled to form enlargements or beads
which fit into the small holes a a on each side of the notch the sheath e being thus
held in position and prevented from being moved out of place end wise of the
bobbin. To prevent the sheaths e in the several notches being moved out of place
sidewise we employ a thin metal hoop or ferrule f whose lower edge projects about
half way over the notch. The hoop or ferrule having been "; spun" fast upon the
bobbin its lower edge being preferably turned or pressed into a nick or groove-
that part of the ferrule which projects over the notch is cut so as to form a lip or
tongue which is turned over on the protecting sheath and soldered thereto (see
Fig. 2). In the case of wooden or other end pieces of sheet metal bobbins
(see Fig. 3) we provide such end pieces with an inner annulus g of sheet metal in
addition to the outer hoop or ferrule f and so are able to provide an inner g¹ as well
as an outer lip or tongue f' which we bend and press over each other, or upon the
protecting sheath and solder them both (f' and g¹) fast thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
:-
The use or employment of a protecting metal sheath for preventing wear and tear
on the notches of bobbins used in machines for preparing cotton and other fibrous
materials in manner substantially as described and shewn in the drawings.
