We, JOHN WILLIAM MAKANT, Managing director of the Park Mill Spinning Co.
Limited, Gaskell Street, Cotton Spinner, and PETER PARKINSON Manager, both
of Bolton in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said
invention to be as follows:-
"
This invention is applicable to spinning machines called "throstles" and consists
principally in means for removing ooziness and imparting strength to the yarn so
as to make the same almost equal to double spun." This we accomplish by
passing the yarn-after it has left the delivery rollers-over a roller covered with
Hannel or its equivalent: this roller is mounted and revolves in a trough containing
water or other liquid placed between the delivery rollers and the point of the
spindle immediately above the thread board. The roller is mounted in bearings
and driven by mechanical means from any convenient part of the machine in
contra-direction to the travel of the yarn. It desired the flannel covered roller
can be substituted with circular guide rollers mounted on a centre shaft; the same
being nickel-plated to prevent corrosion by contact with the damp yarn.

Improvements in Apparatus for Spinning Cotton and other
Fibrous Substances.
We, JOHN WILLIAM MAKANT, Managing director of the Park Mill Spinuing Co.
Limited," Gaskell Street, Cotton Spinner, and PETER PARKINSON, Manager, both
of Bolton in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR SPINNING COTTON AND OTHER
FIBROUS SUBSTANCES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"
"
This invention is applicable to spinning machines called "throstles" and consists
principally in means for removing ooziness and imparting strength to the yarn so
double spun." This we accomplish by
as to make the same almost equal to
passing the yarn-after it has left the delivery rollers-over a roller covered with
flannel or its equivalent: this roller is mounted and revolves in a trough containing
water or other liquid placed between the delivery rollers and the point of the
spindle immediately above the thread board. The roller is mounted in bearings
and driven by mechanical means from any convenient part of the machine in
contra-direction to the travel of the yarn. If desired the flannel covered roller can
be substituted with circular guide rollers mounted on a centre shaft; the same
being nickel-plated to prevent corrosion by contact with the damp yarn.
Fig. 1 is a sectional end view of so much of a "throstle" spinning machine as is
necessary to illustrate our present invention-Fig. 2 is a part front elevation of
same. On the ordinary thread board A of the machine is mounted the roller B
covered with flannel or other equivalents. The roller B is mounted on the centre C
and revolves in the trough D containing water or other liquid. The roller B is
placed between the delivery rollers E and the point of the spindle G. The roller B
is mounted in bearings and driven by the spur wheels H and L from the roller
shaft K as shown, or from any other convenient part of the machine.
The roller B is revolved in the direction indicated by the arrow or in contra-
direction to the travel of the yarn from the delivery rollers E to the bobbin M.
The roller B can be of any suitable materials and coated or covered with brass,
copper, or other equivalent metals, or it can be made entirely of any of the said
metals.
If desired the flannel covered or other rollers B can be substituted by circular
guide rollers as shown in Fig. 3, being mounted on the shaft C. Fig. 4 is an end
view of Fig. 3. In case the rollers are made of corrosive metals they are nickel-
plated to prevent corrosion by contact with the liquid and damp yarn.
The yarn-indicated by the line 0-in travelling from the delivery rollers E to
the bobbin M passes over the wet or damp revolving roller B, by which the ooziness
of the yarn is laid giving additional strength thereto.

page_text: 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 -
In a "throstle" spinning machine the use and application of the damping
roller B driven in contra-direction to the travel of the yarn for the purpose
specified.
