IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF 'EXTRA HARD' YARNS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CRAPE CLOTHS
Year: 1884

page_text: I SAMUEL HOWARD STOTT of The Lindens Fulwood in the County of Lancaster
Yarn Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF 'EXTRA HARD' YARNS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
CRAPE CLOTHS" to be as follows:―
This invention relates to the spinning or manufacture of "extra hard? yarns
used in the manufacture of crapo cloths.
The object of my invention is to produce "extra hard" yarns (either grey or
already dyed) such as are used in tho manufacture of crape cloths in such a form
that they can be used for weft or filling without requiring any process of reeling
pirning or winding.
According to my invention instead of spinning extra hard yarns from a roving
bobbin in either a mule or water (i,o, old English throstle or flyer) frame, as hereto-
fore I spin the yarn upon that description of ring throstle frame or American
throstle frame (so called) which is at present known as the weft ring throstle, from
a bobbin or cop of grey or dyed single yarn, or from two or more bobbins or cops
of grey or dyed single yarns, or from a bobbin or cop of two or more fold doubled
yarns either grey or dyed, or with the strands dyed one or more different colors as
required, the thread or threads passing (after leaving the bobbins or cops and before
reaching the traveller upon the ring of the frame) through a mixture of size starch
or other suitable material or composition of a starchy or gelatinous nature.
Sufficient twist is put into the yarn for the manufacture of the crape effect as in
.the old method.
For the purposes of my invention I combine a trough or other suitable receptaclo
(with or without rollers therein) to hold a mixture of size, starch, or other suitable
material or composition of a starchy or gelatinous nature with the frame known as
the "weft ring tbrostle" (at present used only for spinning weft or filling in a dry
or unprepared state) through which the end or ends of double or single yarn-grey
or dyed-pass before being twisted by which means I produce extra hard yarn as
used in the manufacture of crape in such a form that it can be used for weft or
filling without undergoing any further process.
The three lines of double rollers as used in spinning ordinary yarn may be (if
desired) replaced with one line of double rollers which may be made of iron, brass
or other metal as required.

I, SAMUEL HOWARD STOTT of The Lindens Fulwood in the County of Lancaster
Yarn Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE-OF-EXTRA HARD YARNS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CRAPE
CLOTHS" and in what manner_the_same_is_to be performed,_to_he_particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to the spinning or manufacture of "extra hard" yarns
used in the manufacture of crape cloths.
The object-of-my-invention is to produce extra hard yarns (either grey or already
dyed) such as are used in the manufacture of crape-cloths-in such a form that they
can be used for weft or filling-without-requiring any process of reeling pirning or
winding.
"
According to my invention instead-of-spinning extra hard yarns from a roving
bobbin in either a mule or water (i,e, old English throstle or flyer) frame-as-hereto--
fore I spin the yarn upon that description of ring throstle frame or American
throstle frame (so called) which is at present known as the "weft-ring-throstle
from a bobbin or cop of grey or dyed single yarn or from two or more bobbins or
cops of grey or dyed single yarns, or from a bobbin or cop of two or more fold
doubled yarns either grey or dyed or with the strands dyed one or more different
colors as required, the thread or threads passing (after leaving the bobbins or cops
and before reaching the traveller upon the ring of the frame) through a mixture of
size starch or other suitable material or composition of a starchy or gelatinous
nature.
"
Sufficient twist is put into the yarn for the manufacture of the crape effect as in
the old method.
For the purpose of my invention I combine a trough or other suitable receptacle
(with or without rollers therein) to hold a mixture of size starch, or other suitable
material or composition of a starchy or gelatinous nature with the frame known as
the "weft ring throstle" (at present used only for spinning weft or filling in a dry
or unprepared state) through which the end or ends of double or single yarn, grey or
dyed pass before being twisted by which means I produce extra hard yarn as
used in the manufacture of crape in such a form that it can be used for weft or
filling without undergoing any further process.
The three lines of double rollers as used in spinning ordinary yarn may be (if
desired) replaced with one line of double rollers which may be made of iron brass
or other metal as required.
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 manufacture of extra hard yarns used in the manufacture of crape cloths
from single or doubled yarns by means of the weft ring throstle, in combination

page_text: with a trough or other suitable receptacle containing a mixture of size, starch, or
other suitable material or composition of a starchy or gelatinous nature substantially
as herein before described.
