MAKING CORD COVERED WITH COTTON OR SILK
Year: 1884

page_text: We JOHN PEACOCK & WILLIAM PEACOCK solo partners of the firm of John
Peacock of 85 High Street and Chain Road Paisley Ropemakers do hereby declaro
the nature of our invention for MAKING CORD COVERED WITH COTTON OR SILK
to be as follows:-
"
The machine as above stated is used for making cord covered with cotton or
silk and it may be described as consisting of a flat table with two lines of iron
pins on either side on which spools are placed. These spools as the case may be
are either of fine cotton or silk. Then on a raised piece of wood supported by
two upright pieces of wood there are more iron pins on which are placed spools
with coarse material on them. The threads from the fine spools run through small-
eyelets of a circular piece of wood. This circular piece of wood is fixed to the
table. The threads from the coarse spools pass through the eyelots of a circular
piece of wood placed nearer to the table than the first mentioned circular piece
of wood. The coarse and fine threads join on passing through a tube and on
emerging from the outer circular board the ends are attached to a hook on a
twisting frame fixed on a carriage mounted on rails. Whon the material does
emerge the coarse threads are entirely covered by the fine threads. The twisting
machine is then drawn 'down the walk on the rails and this machine completes the
process of making the cord. (The twisting machine is of the ordinary description
and has nothing to do with covering the coarse material with the silk or cotton).

page_text: We JOHN PEACOCK and WILLIAM PEACOCK solo partners of the firm of John
Peacock of 85 High Street and Chain Road Paisley Ropemakers do hereby declare
the nature of our invention for COVERING CORD WITH COTTON OR SILK and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to bo particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The machine is used for making cord covered with cotton or silk and may be
described as consisting of a flat table with two lines of iron pins on either side on
which spools are placed, these spools are either fine cotton or silk. Then on a
raised piece of wood supported by upright pieces of wood there are more iron pins
on which are placed spools with coarse material on them. There are also iron pins
with spools of coarse material on a level with the iron pins on which the fine spools
are as shown on the drawing. The threads from the fine spools.run through
small eyelets of a circular piece of wood. This circular piece of wood is fixed to
the table. The threads from the coarse spools pass through eyelets of a circular
piece of wood placed nearer to the table than the first mentioned piece of wood.
The coarse and fine threads then join on passing through a tube made of wood
and on emerging from the outer circular board and latterly through the tube the
ends of the threads are attached to hooks on a twisting frame fixed on a carriage
mounted on rails. When the material does emerge finally from the tube the coarse
threads are entirely covered by the fine threads of cotton or silk as the case may
be. The twisting machine is then drawn down the walk on the rails and this
completes the process of making the cord by twisting. The twisting machine is
of the ordinary description and has nothing to do with covering the coarse material
with the silk or cotton.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
(i) The apparatus substantially as above described and illustrated in the
drawing for effecting in conjunction with a twisting machine the manufacture of
covered cord. (ii.) In a machine for making covered cord the tube for laying
together or joining the threads substantially as described.
