Improvements in Machinery for Making Fancy Mottled Worsted,
Woollen, and other Yarns.
1 ARTHUR GOLDTHORP, Wakefield Yorkshire, Worsted Spinner do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To spin two, three or more threads of different colors in the same thread, each color
being quite distinct, and not mingled with the other on said thread-the same results
having been hitherto obtained only by spinning three or a less number of différent
colors, and then by doubling them together on a separate machine. By this process
I claim to be able to make a much greater number of patterns, or designs. The
yarn being better adapted for the various objects I have mentioned above.
This result is obtained by making different colored Rovings of a proper thickness,
and by spinning them side by side, and divided each from the other by suitable guide
pins, or wires. The result is a mottled yarn of as many colors as there are different
colors of the Rovings employed.

I ARTHUR GOLDTHORP of Wakefield Yorkshire, Worsted Spinner 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:
An addition to and alteration in the Spinning Frame whereby I am enabled to spin
two, three or more threads or rovings of different colors in the same thread, each
Roving being kept distinct and regular and the yarn uniform in twist. The same
results have been obtained hitherto only by spinning the two or more different colored
threads or Rovings independently, and then doubling them together on a separate
machine.
By this process I am able to make a greater number of patterns or designs the
resultant yarn being of a quality better adapted to its various purposes.
Referring to the accompanying Drawings the object of my invention is to keep the
two three or more threads or Rovings a, a, apart and parallel before entering between
the Rollers c, g.
This I effect by means of guides e, e. These Guides may be either
small pegs suitably fixed, between the threads; or a thin piece of Wood, Metal,
Porcelain, Ebonite or other suitable material having teeth cut therein between which
the threads or Rovings pass. These teeth are shown in Fig. 4.
And also by means of projecting Flanges or Collars round the circumference of one
or more of the bottom (or top) carrier Rollers b, b, the circumference of the top (or
bottom) carrier Roller having corresponding grooves cut in its circumference as
shown in Fig. 3.
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
1. The Guide shown at e, (Figs. 1, 2 & 4) consisting of either pegs or teeth
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
2. Flanges or Collars and Grooves on and in Carrier Rollers, substantially as
hereinbefore described and illustrated.
3. The combination and use of the Guides and Grooved Carrier Rollers in Spinning
Frames for the purpose named in the above specification.
