page_text: I ROGER TATHAM of Rochdale in the county of Lancaster Machine Maker do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS TO
BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR SPINNING AND
DOUBLING COTTON WOOL AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS to be as follows:-
My invention consists in arrangements whereby I facilitate the doffing of the
bobbins cops or tubes from the spindles of machinery or apparatus used for spinning
and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials and also in arrangements for
facilitating the placing of bobbins spools or tubes upon the spindles of machinery
or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials.
In carrying out my invention I employ a suitable receptacle for receiving the
bobbins, spools or cops after they have been removed from the spindle such
receptacle being provided with hooks or projections by which it may be attached
to the spindle-rail or other convenient part of the spinning or doubling machine-
After the attendant has removed the bobbins spools or cops from the spindles of the
spinning or doubling machine the said attendant places such bobbins spools or cops
within the receptacle before named from which receptacle the said bobbins spools or
cops may be subsequently transferred to any other receptacle-In cases where
bobbins spools or tubes have to be placed upon the spindles of spinning and
doubling machinery or apparatus to receive the yarn or thread: such bobbins spools
or tubes may be placed within the receptacle above named and will thereby be in
a convenient position for being placed upon the spindles before named.
In some cases I provide the receptacle before named with pins pegs grooves
recesses or holes or other equivalents therefor by means of which the bobbins tubes
or spools may be held in a convenient position for being readily placed upon the
spindles to which they are to be applied-The attendant places the bobbins tubes
or spools upon the pins or pegs or within the grooves recesses holes or other
equivalents therefor previous to their being required for placing upon the spindles
before mentioned.
After the bobbins spools or tubes have been transferred from the above mentioned
receptacle to the spindles previously referred to, the attendant supports the said

page_text: receptacle upon any convenient part of the spinning or doubling machine and
supplies the pins pegs grooves recesses holes or other equivalents therefor with the
necessary supply of bobbins tubes or spools, or the before mentioned receptacle may
be supported upon arms or brackets secured to any convenient support.
In some cases I propose to place the bobbins spools or tubes used in machinery
or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials
within slots holes or recesses, formed in any convenient part of the spinning or
doubling machine or in a bar or rail secured thereto or I place the said bobbins
spools or tubes upon pins pegs or projections secured to any convenient part of the
spinning or doubling machine or such pins pegs or projections may be secured to
a rail or bar such rail or bar being attached to the spinning or doubling machine in
any convenient manner.
When applying my invention to machinery or apparatus for spinning and
doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials in which it is requisite to hold
the spindles down during the time they are being doffed I provide the receptacle
which holds the bobbins spools or tubes above mentioned with a projection or
projections which resting above the wharves or whorls of such spindles aforesaid
prevents such spindles from being drawn upward during the time they are being
doffed.

I ROGER TATHAM of Rochdale in the County of Lancaster Machine Maker do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS TO
BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH MACHINERY OR APPARATUS FOR SPINNING AND
DOUBLING COTTON WOOL AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
My invention consists in arrangements whereby I facilitate the doffing of the
bobbins cops or tubes from the spindles of machinery or apparatus used for spinning
and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials and also in arrangements for
facilitating the placing of bobbins spools or tubes upon the spindles of machinery
or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials.
In order that my invention may be fully understood and carried into effect
I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
In one modification of my invention I employ a suitable receptacle for receiving
the bobbins cops or tubes after they have been removed or doffed from the spindles
of machinery or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous
materials such receptacle being provided with pins or pegs or grooves recesses or
holes or other equivalents therefor by means of which pins or pegs or grooves
recesses or holes or other equivalents therefor the bobbins spools or tubes used in
machinery or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous
materials may be held in a convenient position for being readily placed upon the
spindles to which such bobbins spools or tubes are to be applied.
This portion of my invention is shown by Figs 1 and 2. Fig: 1 being a plan
and Fig: 2 a cross section of a receptacle constructed as above described.
The receptacle a is formed of sheet metal or other suitable material and is
provided with hooks or projections b by means of which hooks or projections 6 the
receptacle a may be attached to the spindle-rail or other convenient part of
a machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material-Secured
to the receptacle a in any convenient manner is a bar rod or strip c of metal wood
or other suitable material to which bar rod or strip c are secured pins or pegs d―
Figs and 4 shew the receptacle a applied to the spindle-rail e of a machine for
spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material Fig: 3 being a cross
section and Fig: 4 a plan of the spindle-rail e of a machine for spinning or doubling
cotton wool or other fibrous material with a receptacle a attached thereto―The
receptacle a is looked upon the spindle-rail e by means of the hooks or projections b-
The attendant places the bobbins spools or tubes g to be used in the said machine
for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material upon the pins or
pegs d before such bobbins spools or tubes are required to be placed upon the
spindles fAfter the bobbins cops or tubes have been removed from the spindles f
and placed in the receptacle a the bobbins spools or tubes g are transferred from

page_text: the pins or pegs d to the spindles f and the bobbins cops or tubes placed in the
receptacle a may be removed therefrom or the receptacle a and with it the bobbins
cops or tubes contained therein may be removed to any convenient place-After
the bobbins cops or tubes contained in the receptacle a have been removed there-
from the attendant supports such receptacle a upon any convenient part of the
machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material or upon
arms or brackets secured to any convenient support and supplies the pins or pegs d
with a fresh supply of bobbins spools or tubes-Figs 5 and 6 show the receptacle a
applied to the spindle-rail h of a machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or
other fibrous material in which spindles ; of the class known as the "Rabbeth"
spindle are employed-Fig: 5 being a plan and Fig: 6 a cross section of a
receptacle a and the spindle-rail h of a machine for spiuning or doubling cotton or
other fibrous material.
The pins or pegs d are in this case made suitable for receiving the bobbins or
tubes used in conjunction with
Rabbeth" spindles.
"
In some cases I place the bobbins spools or tubes to be used in machinery or
apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials upon
pins or pegs secured to or carried by a bar or rail secured to any convenient part of
the machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material-This
portion of my invention is shown in Figs: 7 and 8. Fig: 7 being a plan and
Fig: 8 a cross section of a bar or rail k with pins pegs or projections / secured to or
carried upon the bar or rail k-k is a bar or rail of wood metal or other suitable
material to which bar or rail are secured the pins pegs or projections . To the
bar or rail are secured hooks or projections b by which hooks or projections b the
said bar or rail k may be attached to the spindle-rail m or other convenient part of
the machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material-The
bobbins spools or tubes to be subsequently placed upon the spindles n of the
machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material are placed
upon the pins pegs or projections land when placed thereon such bobbins spools or
tubes will be in a convenient position for being placed upon the spindles n.
In some cases I secure pins or pegs to any convenient part of the machine for
spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material upon which pins or pegs
the bobbins spools or tubes to be subsequently placed upon the spindles of the said
machine for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material may be
placed so as to be in a convenient position for being placed upon the said spindles―
This portion of my invention is shown by Figs 9 and 10-Fig: 9 being a cross
section and Fig: 10 a plan of a portion of a spindle-rail o of a machine for spinning
or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material-To the spindle rail o I secure
pins or pegs p upon which pins or pegs p the bobbins spools or tubes q to be
subsequently placed upon the spindles of the said machine for spinning or
doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material may be placed so as be in a
convenient position for being placed upon the said spindles r.
A further part of my invention consists in providing in the spindle-rails or other
convenient parts of machinery or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool
and other fibrous materials slots holes or recesses in which slots holes or recesses
the bobbins spools or tubes used in machinery or apparatus for spinning and
doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials may be placed so as to be in
a convenient position for being placed upon the spindles of such machinery or
apparatus and this part of my invention is shewn in Figs: 11 and 12, Fig: 11
being a plan and Fig 12 a cross section of a portion of a spindle-rail of a machine
for spinning or doubling cotton wool or other fibrous material-In the spindle-rail s
I form slots holes or recesses t in which slots holes or recesses t the bobbins spools
or tubes to be subsequently placed upon the spindles u may be placed—When the
said bobbins spools or tubes are placed in the slots holes or recesses t such bobbins
spools or tubes are in a convenient position for being placed upon the spindles u.
I have in the foregoing description only shown pins or pegs for receiving bobbins
spools or tubés to be subsequently applied to the spindles of inachinery or apparatus

page_text: for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials but I would have
it understood that grooves slots recesses or holes or other equivalents therefor may
be employed in place of the pins or pegs above referred to to receive and hold the
bobbins spools or tubes used in such machinery or apparatus and to keep such
bobbins spools or tubes in a convenient position for being applied to the spindles of
machinery or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous
materials.
Although I have above described the receptacle a and the pins or pegs and
grooves slots recesses or holes or other equivalents therefor as being applied to the
spindle-rails of machinery or apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and
other fibrous materials I would have it understood that the said receptacle a and
pins or pegs and grooves slots recesses or holes or other equivalents therefor may be
applied to any other convenient and suitable part of such machinery or apparatus.
The receptacle above described and the rails rods or bars above referred to may
be made of any convenient size.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed-I declare that
what I claim is
Firstly The receptacle a for use in conjunction with machinery or apparatus for
spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials such receptacle a
being provided with pins or pegs or grooves slots recesses or holes or other
equivalents therefor substantially as hercinbefore described and hooks or pro-
jections such receptacle a and hooks or projections b being constructed substan-
tially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown in reference to and
in and by the drawings hereunto annexed.
Secondly Attaching pins or pegs to or forming slots holes or recesses in the
spindle or bobbin rails or other convenient and suitable parts of machinery or
apparatus for spinning and doubling cotton wool and other fibrous materials
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown in reference
