We EDWARD WRIGHT WRIGLEY of Thornycroft, Werneth, Oldham, Cotton
Spinner, ROBERT PATTERSON of 58 Greengate Street, Oldham, Manager and
HENRY TAYLOR 173 Littlemoor Lane Oldham Spinning Overlooker do hereby declare
the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements upon an invention for which Letters Patent
No. 9747 and dated 28th of July 1886 were granted to two of the present applicants
and consist in so arranging and constructing the hinged flap that instead of resting
upon the thread as heretofore it shall rest upon the bottom clearer and be formed
with a slot or orifice through which the thread passes and whereby the same is
prevented flying off sideways on to the neighbouring threads in case of a breakage
and of guiding the same whilst winding upon the bottom clearer.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Applicable to Throstles, Ring-frames, and other
Analogous Machinery.
We EDWARD WRIGHT WRIGLEY of Thornycroft, Werneth, Oldham Lancaster,
Cotton Spinner, ROBERT PATTERSON of Greengate Street Oldham, Lancaster,
Manager and HENRY TAYLOR of 173, Littlemoor Lane Watersheddings, Oldham,
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 relates to improvements upon an invention for which Letters
Patent No. 9747 and dated 28th July 1886 were granted to two of the present
applicants and consists in so arranging and constructing the hinged flap that instead
of resting upon the thread as heretofore it shall rest upon the bottom clearer and be
formed with a slot or orifice through which the thread passes and whereby the same
is prevented flying off sideways on to the neighbouring threads in case of a breakage
and of guiding the same whilst winding on to the bottom clearer.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a front and Fig. 2 a side sectional
view of the rollers of a Throstle shewing our improvements applied thereto.
In both views a represents the wire support affixed to the top of the hook 6 as in
the former arrangement. c is the hinged flap or plate which in accordance with our
present improvements hangs down and by preference rests in touching contact with
the under clearer. g is the slot or orifice formed in the flap through which the thread e
passes and whereby such thread in case of breakage is prevented flying off sideways
and is guided whilst winding on to the under clearer f as and for the purposes
aforesaid.
To facilitate piecing and to obviate the necessity of threading the end through
the slot or orifice g an open-ended slit i is provided in the bottom of this flap.
It will be apparent that our improvements are equally applicable to ring frames
and other analogous machinery employed for preparing twisting or spinning fibrous
material.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-

The improvements in the hinged flaps or plates employed in Throstles ring-frames
and other analogous machinery substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 13th day of January 1890.
