Improvement in the Pressers of Flyers for Slubbing, Intermediate,
Roving, and other Analagous Machines Employed for Preparing
Cotton and other Fibrous Material.
We, WILLIAM GREENHALGH Carder of 34 Clerkwell Street Oldham & ISAAC
BAMFORD Cotton Spinner & Manufacturer of Shorelea Oldham do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvement consists in the addition of a knob or protuberance (marked A*)
of any description to the Presser (marked B*) below the Flyer's Leg (marked C)
through which the material is drawn.
The object gained is the lessening of the tension on & the consequent stretching of
the material as it is taken up on the Bobbin (marked D*).
This is effected by taking the material round the knob or protuberance on the
Presser as it is drawn through the Flyer's Leg, thus lessening the tension on the
material, caused by the friction between it & the Flyer's Leg through which it is
drawn.
Dated this Second day of February 1888.

Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
We, WILLIAM GREENHALGH, Carder of 34 Clerkwell Street Oldham Lancashire
& ISAAC BAMFORD, Cotton Spinner & Manufacturer of Shorelea Oldham Lancashire
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 relates to the Slubbing Intermediate and Roving processes of Cotton
or other fibrous materials and consists in the affixing or making of a knob or pro-
tuberance to or on the Presser so that it will lessen the tension & the consequent
stretching of the Slubbing, Intermediate or Roving sliver as it is drawn from the leg
of the Flyer along the Presser to the Bobbin.
And in order that our invention may be more readily understood we have
appended to the Provisional Specification a sheet of drawings marked with letters
of reference.
A is the knob or protuberance affixed or made to or on the presser B. C is the
Flyer's leg through which the material or sliver is drawn. D is the Bobbin upon
which it is wound; the material being passed round the knob or protuberance A
after it leaves the leg of the Flyer C & before it passes through the Presser's eye
prior to being wound on the Bobbin B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. The addition of a knob or protuberance of any description to the Pressers of
Flyers for Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving & other analagous machines employed for
preparing Cotton & other fibrous, materials, for the lessening of tension upon the
material when it is drawn from the Flyer's leg to the Bobbin, substantially as herein-
before described.
2. The application of a knob or protuberance of any description to the Pressers of
Flyers for Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving & other analagous machines employed for
preparing Cotton & other fibrous materials, substantially as & for the purpose herein-
before described & illustrated by the drawings.
Dated this Fifteenth day of August.
