We JOSHUA WHALLEY of 68 Scotland Road Blackburn in the County of Lancaster
Mill Manager and JAMES PICKUP of 42 Meadow Street Preston in the County afore-

follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in and means of securing the metal caps or
rings applied to the bobbin or tubes aforesaid.

projecting fingers or clips corresponding to the number of recesses or slits (usually
four) cut or formed in the flange. The ring is passed over the top of the bobbin or
spool and down to the flange on which the lower edge rests, whereon the fingers or
clips of the ring are bent over and into the corresponding recesses whereby the cap
or ring is secured in position on the spool or bobbin.

We JOSHUA WHALLEY of 68 Scotland Road, Blackburn in the County of Lancaster,
Mill Manager, and JAMES PICKUP, of 42 Meadow Street Preston, in the County
aforesaid Commercial Traveller, 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 consists of improvements in, and means of securing the metal caps or
rings applied to the bobbins or tubes aforesaid.
According to this invention we employ a metal cap or ring having a number of
projecting fingers or clips corresponding to the number of recesses or slits (usually
four) cut or formed in the flange. The ring is passed over the top of the bobbin or
spool and down to the flange on which its lower end rests whereon the fingers or clips
of the ring are bent over and into the corresponding recesses whereby the cap or ferrule
is secured in position on the spool or bobbin.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part
of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1 represents a ferrule or ring before putting it on to the flange of the bobbin
(a) is the ferrule, (b) the finger for going into the slots of the bobbin, and which are
shown enclosed.
Fig. 2 represents the lower part of a bobbin with the ferrule described secured in its
place on the flange (c) is the bobbin, (d) the flange (e) is the slot into which the fingers
() of the ferrule are forced and (f) the part where the top of the ferrule is milled over
the flange (d).
We employ a metal cap or ring having a number of projecting fingers or clips
corresponding to the number of the recesses or slots (usually four) cut or formed in the
flanges of the bobbin. The ring is put on to the flange either from the top of the
bobbin or from the bottom, on to the flange directly, if from the bottom the fingers
may be bent ready to go into the slots of the flange before putting it on, or they may
be hent into the slots after the ring or ferrule is in its place on the flange. The top
part of the ferrule is then milled over the top of the flange thus firmly securing the
ferrule in its place.
:-
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 :-
The putting of rings, or ferrules on the flanges of bobbins, and securing them in
their place in the manner described.
