PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Drawing, Roving and like
Bobbins.
We, WILLIAM ACKROYD, Junior, of Birkenshaw Mills, Manufacturer, WILLIAM
SMITH, Birkenshaw Bottom, Joiner, and THOMAS JAMES LITTLE, Bradford Road,
Shuttle Maker, all of Birkenshaw, in the County of York, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention has for its object, the construction of drawing, roving and like
bobbins in such a manner that, there is less liability of the bobbin ends or flanges
being broken or leaving the bobbin barrel, or the barrel splitting than when
constructed in the manner as hitherto; also by our novel arrangement of attaching
the ends or flanges to the barrel, we are enabled to make the latter considerably
smaller in diameter, thus allowing more material to be placed upon the bobbins
than hitherto.
We accomplish our object in the following manner. The bobbin flanges are
formed in two pieces as hitherto, but are recessed for the reception of a flanged
ferrule made of malleable iron or other suitable material. The flange of the
ferrule is inserted in the before mentioned recesses, and the two halves of the
bobbin flange may be glued and secured together by screws, pegs or the like.
The bobbin barrel is reduced at each end and inserted into the respective
ferrules and secured thereto in any convenient manner, the ferrules thus forming
a collar at each end of the barrel strengthens the ends and reduces the liability
of the barrel splitting, strengthening the barrel to such an extent that the diameter
of it can be considerably reduced, thereby enabling more material to be wound
around the same.

Improvements in the Construction of Drawing, Roving and like
Bobbins.
We, WILLIAM ACKROYD, Junior, of Birkenshaw Mills, Manufacturer, WILLIAM
SMITH, Birkenshaw Bottom, Joiner, and THOMAS JAMES LITTLE, Bradford Road,
Shuttle Maker, all of Birkenshaw, in the County of York, 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:-
This invention has for its object, the construction of drawing, roving and like

page_text: bobbins in such a manner that, there is less liability of the bobbin ends or flanges
being broken or leaving the bobbin barrel, or of the barrel splitting than is the
case when constructed in the manner as hitherto; also by our novel arrangement
of attaching the ends or flanges to the barrel, we are enabled to make the barrel
considerably smaller in diameter, thus allowing more material to be placed upon
the bobbins than hitherto.
In describing our invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying
sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 represents a section through a drawing or like
bobbin made according to our invention, and
Fig. 2 is an elevation of a flanged ferrule drawn to a larger scale.
In carrying out our object, the bobbin flanges are formed of two pieces A.
and A' as hitherto, but one of the flanges is to be recessed for the reception of the
flange B of the ferrule C made of malleable iron or other suitable material; or
instead of forming the recess for the before mentioned flange of the ferrule C
in one of the pieces, both of the pieces A and A' may be recessed and the flange B
inserted; the two pieces A and A¹ of the bobbin flange are then glued, pressed
together and screwed by screws, pegs or the like, driven into holes bored through
the end pieces A and A¹, in the same manner as with flanges of the ordinary
description.
The bobbin barrel D is reduced in diameter at each end D¹ and driven or other-
wise forced tight into the respective ferrules, and there secured by passing screws
through the ferrules to engage with the barrel ends, the ends of the barrels being
further secured by driving the bushes E tight, through the piece A' of the flange
into the centre hole of the barrel.
Ferrules arranged and inserted in the bobbin flanges in the manner described,
support and strengthen the bobbin ends or flanges, and by inserting the barrel
ends into the ferrules in the manner described, the liability of the barrel splitting
is reduced, and is strengthened to such an extent that, the diameter of the barrel
can be considerably reduced, thereby enabling more material to be wound around
the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
A metallic ferrule C provided with a flange B combined with the flange and barrel
of a drawing, roving or like bobbin substantially in the manner and for the purpose
as hereinbefore described.
