Washing Hanks of Yarn, Cord, or Braid.
Year: 1885

I EDWIN BODEN of the firm of Edwin Boden and Company Limited of Worsley
Mills Hulme Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF APPARATUS FOR DYEING OR WASHING HANKS OF YARN, CORD, OR BRAID to
be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to improvements upon the dyeing and washing apparatus
for which Letters Patent were granted to me bearing date the 11th day of January
1882 No 152, the objects of the present invention being to economize the con-
struction of the said apparatus and to increase its efficiency.
In the first place I propose to make the rollers of porcelain glass or earthen-
ware as being more cleanly and less expensive than the copper rollers hitherto
employed.
Secondly I propose to increase the width of the vat or cistern and to mount
therein two sets of rollers, end to end, and both driven by one series of gearing
placed in the centre, actuated either by hand or by power by means of a strap, or
by an independent engine attached to the machine, thus dispensing with all other
power and enabling the dyeing operations to be proceeded with at all times either
independently or when other power is not available.
Thirdly I arrange the hydraulic lifting apparatus so that it can act upon either
one or more machines, either separately or collectively and
Fourthly I propose to arrange a tramway overhead for conveying the frame
with the rollers from one vat or cistern to another and back again as often as
may be required for the dyeing and washing operations.
Dated this 16th day of January 1885.

I EDWIN BODEN of the firm of Edwin Boden and Company Limited of Worsley
Mills Hulme Manchester in the County of Lancaster Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF APPARATUS FOR DYEING OR WASHING HANKS OF YARN, CORD OR BRAID 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 upon the dyeing and washing apparatus
for which Letters Patent were granted to me bearing date the 11th day of January
1882 N° 152, the object of the present invention being to economize the con-
struction of the said apparatus and to increase its efficiency.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention I will now proceed to
describe in detail the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed
or carried into practical effect and in order that the same may be clearly understood
I have annexed hereunto a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof and have marked
the same with figures and letters of reference corresponding with those in the
following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. in the drawing is a side elevation Fig. 2. a plan view and Fig. 3 a
transverse section of a dyeing and washing apparatus constructed according to
my present invention.
In the first place I propose to make the rollers of the apparatus of porcelain,
glass, or earthenware as being more cleanly and less expensive than the copper
rollers hitherto employed.
Secondly I propose to increase the width of the vat or cistern a, a as shown on
the drawings and to mount therein two sets of rollers b, b b¹, b¹ placed end to end
and both driven by one series of gearing c, c c, c placed in the centre and actuated
either by hand or by power, by means of a strap or by an independent engine
attached to the machine, thus dispensing with all other power, making the
apparatus more self-contained, and enabling the dyeing and washing operations
to be proceeded with at all times either independently or when other power is not
available for the purpose.
Thirdly I arrange the hydraulic lifting apparatus or pump d, d between two
sets of dyeing and washing apparatus so that it can act upon either one or more
machines, the distributing pipe e; e being made with two or more branches e¹, e¹
each leading to a hydraulic cylinder ff and each fitted with a separate stop
cock g, g by which means it can be caused to act upon either one or both machines
either separately or collectively.
I would here remark that in the Provisional Specification filed with my
application for Patent I described as a fourth part of my invention an overhead
tramway for conveying the frame with the rollers from one vat or cistern to
another and back again; but as I find that this would involve a complete
alteration of the machine as at present constituted and would involve a considerable
expense I propose to abandon this part of my invention and to lay no claim
thereto.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
First, the use in apparatus for dyeing and washing hanks of yarn, cord or braid,
of rollers made of porcelain glass or earthenware in place of the copper rollers
ordinarily employed.
Secondly, I claim mounting in the vat of such machines two sets of rollers
placed end to end and both driven by one series of gearing in the centre, and
Thirdly, I claim so arranging the hydraulic lifting apparatus in connection with
two or more machines that it can act upon either one or more of the same either
separately or collectively substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by
the drawings hereto annexed.
