IMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVERS BOBBINS
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I JOSEPH HOLDING of 59 Trafford Street, Farnworth near Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
*IMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVERS BOBBINS," to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in "weft" bobbins usually employed in'
shuttles for weaving, and consists in producing a weavers wooden bobbin which
will be found more durable than those at present in use, thereby dispensing with
the inconvenienco and loss of time through the unwinding of the "weft" from the
bobbins; which is of frequent occurance through the bobbins splitting.
My invention is intended to dispense with the splitting of the "weft" bobbins,
which often occurs through the action of the shuttle tongue or other causes, which
I accomplish by reducing or otherwise the smallest or delivering end of the bobbin,
on and over which is driven or otherwise a metallic ring or ferrule, thereby tipping
or ending them at the weakest part, by which splitting is entirely prevented,
resulting in a great saving both of "weft" and bobbins, as well as that of the
weavers time.

Agent for the Applicant.

I JOSEPH HOLDING of 59 Trafford Street, Farnworth near Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVERS' BOBBINS," 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 "weft" bobbins usually employed in !
shuttles for weaving and consists in producing "weft".bobbins which will be
found more durable than those at present in use, thereby dispensing with the
inconvenience and loss of time through the unwinding of "weft "from the bobbins
which is of frequent occurance through the bobbins splitting.
My invention is intended to dispense with the splitting of “ weft” bobbins which
often occurs through the action of the shuttle tongue or other causes, this
I accomplish by reducing or otherwise the smallest or delivering end of the bobbin
on and over which is driven or otherwise a metallic ring or ferrule, thereby tipping
or ending them at the weakest part, by which splitting is entirely prevented,
resulting in great saving both of "weft" and bobbins, as well as that of the
weaver's time.
I will describe this construction referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1
is an outside view of a "weft" bobbin, and Fig. 2 a section of same. A is the
bobbin made in the usual manner with the top end reduced or otherwise on which is
driven the metallic ring, hoop, or ferrule B, having the upper edge pressed down as
shewn to accord with the diameter of the hole in the bobbin, being further secured
by the indentations D pressing the metal into the wood, which performed by a
punch or other suitable appliances, or by forming the groove C shewn in Fig. 3, in
which the bottom edge of the metallic hoop B is pressed.
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
The metallic ring, hoop, or ferrule B when used in combination with "weft"
hobbins substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and illustrated by the
drawings.
