Improvements in or relating to the Treating of Yarn during the
Operation of Winding, Reeling, Warping, and the like, and in
Apparatus for effecting the same.
I, JOHN CLAYTON, of 54, Waterloo Street, Bolton, in the County of Lancaster,
Reeling Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to the treating of yarn during
the operation of winding and the like and in apparatus for effecting the saine and con-
sists in mounting on the front side of what is known as a reeling machine and the
like, such as, a winding and warping machine, a hollow metallic, wood, or other suitable
perforated roller provided with a covering of perforated zinc or its equivalent, covered
externally with flannel, cloth, or other suitable fibrous material over which the yarn
travels in its passage from the cop or bobbin to the "swift" or "fly" of a reeling,
winding, and warping machine. The said roller is rotated in a contrary direction to
the travel of the yarn by which action the loose or outstanding fibres are laid parallel
with the yarn, thereby making a perfectly even yarn and at the same time
strengthening the same and embodying the full quantity of yarn operated upon; also
producing a superior finish and touch to the yarn thereby enhancing the value of the
same. The said roller is driven in any suitable manner by gearing from any con-
venient part of the machine. The perforated roller is supplied internally with water
or other suitable liquid from any convenient source, and regulated by means of valves,
taps, and the like. By treating yarn in the aforesaid manner the moisture imparted
in the process of reeling, winding, and warping is retained, and is in condition for
"bundling" immediately it is taken from the reeling or other machine, thereby dis-
pensing with the ordinary system of damping when placed in the yarn cellar, by which
a saving of room and time will be reduced to a minimum.

I, JOHN CLAYTON, of 54, Waterloo Street, Bolton, in the County of Lancaster,
Reeling Manager, do hereby declare the nature of any said invention and in

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to the treating of yarn during
the operation of winding, reeling, warping, and the like and in apparatus for effecting
the same and consists in mounting on the front side of what is known as a reeling
machine and the like, such as, a winding and warping machine, a hollow metallic,
wood, or other suitable perforated roller provided with a covering of per-
forated zinc or its equivalent, covered externally with flannel, cloth, or other
suitable fibrous material over which the yarn travels in its passage from the
cop
or bobbin to the "swift" or "fly" of a reeling, winding, and warping
machine. The said roller is rotated in a contrary direction to the travel of the yarn
by which action the loose or outstanding fibres are laid parallel with the yarn, thereby
making a perfectly even yarn and at the same time strengthening the same and
embodying the full quantity of yarn operated upon; also producing a superior finish,
and touch to the yarn thereby enhancing the value of the same. The said roller is-
driven in any suitable manner by gearing from any convenient part of the machine.
The perforated roller is supplied internally with water or other suitable liquid from
any convenient source, and regulated by means of valves, taps, and the like. By treating
yarn in the aforesaid mauner the moisture imparted in the process of reeling,
winding, and warping is retained, and is in condition for "bundling" imme-
diately it is taken from the reeling or other machine, thereby dispensing with
the ordinary system of damping when placed in the yarn cellar, by which a saving
of room and time will be reduced to a minimum.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of so much of what is well known in the trade as a
reeling machinery as is necessary to illustrate.my invention for improvements in or
relating to the treating of yarn during the operation of winding, reeling, warping,
and the like and apparatus for effecting the same. Fig. 2 a part longitudinal eleva-
tion showing both ends of a reeling machine with my invention applied. Fig. 3 a part
plan of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 a part plan of Fig. 2 showing the driving arrangements, and
Fig. 5 an enlarged transverse sectional view of perforated roller with outer covering
of flammel, cloth, or other suitable fibrous material, and provided internally with a
perforated pipe for supplying water or other suitable liquid to the said outer covering
of flannel, cloth, or other suitable fibrous material.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding
parts.
A represents the framing of a reeling machine; B "swift" or "fly"; C shaft
carrying "swift" or "fly"; D pulley for driving the latter; E shaft carrying driving
pulley G and handle H for operating the machine by hand; I driving pulley for
operating the machine by means of a belt from any convenient source; K loose
pulley for receiving the driving belt when it is desired or necessary to stop the
machine; L yarn in its passage from the cops or bobbins M to the "swift" or
fly" B; S¹ traverse rail; T "snick" plates, and U curls or guides. The yarn L
travels in the direction indicated by the arrows () in its passage from the cops or
bobbins M to the "swift" or "fly
23 B. To the framing A of the machine are
attached the fixings 0 in which are mounted the ends P carrying the perforated
roller Q covered externally with flannel, cloth, or other fibrous material R over which
the yarn L travels in its passage from the cop or bobbin M to the "swift" or "fly "B
of the machine. The "swift or "fly "B is mounted on the shaft C supported in
the bearings S attached to the framing A. The shaft C carrying the "swift"
"fly" B is provided with the pulley D driven by the belt F from the pulley G on the
shult E supported in the bearings and Z secured to the framing A of the machine.
The shaft E may be rotated by hand by means of the handle H, or by power by
means of the driving pulley I rotated by a belt from any convenient source.
"
or

page_text: The shaft E is also provided with the loose pulley K to allow of the driving belt being
moved froin the driving pulley I to stop the machine and vice-versa. The said per-
forated roller Q with its covering R is rotated in the direction indicated by the
arrow () in Fig. 4, which is contrary to the travel of the yarn L, by which action
the loose or outstanding fibres are laid parallel with the yarn, thereby making a perfectly
even yarn, and at the same time strengthening the saine and embodying the full quau-
tity of yarn operated upon; also producing a superior finish and touch to the yarn,
thereby enhancing the value of the same. The perforated roller Q is rotated by
means of the worm a mounted on the shaft C gearing with the worm-
wheel on the shaft c supported in the bearings d secured to the framing A of
the machine. The end of the shaft c is provided with the bevel wheel gearing
with the bevel wheel hon the end carrying the perforated roller Q; the
shaft caud the end P being located in the fixings & secured to the framing A as
shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The perforated roller Q is supplied internally with water or
other suitable liquid from any convenient source, being conveyed through the
pipes m to the valve or tap n. To the latter is attached the elbow to which is
secured the perforated tube p disposed in the perforated roller Q as shown in Fig. 5
and extending the full length or thereabout of the same to supply an uniform amount
of water or liquid over the entire length of the flannel, cloth, or other fibrous
material R. The valve or tap n is provided with the lever which is operated upon
intermittently by the rotating action of the armn or lever v secured to the roller Q
by the bolt .r. Immediately the lever is released by the rotating action of the per-
forated roller and arın or lever the valve or tap is closed and the supply
of water or liquid stopped by means of the spiral spring z; oue end of which is
secured to the framing A and the other end to the lever t.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The general arrangement construction and combination of parts composing my
improvements in or relating to the treating of yarn during the operation of winding,
reeling, warping, and the like and in apparatus for effecting the same, consisting of
the perforated roller Q covered externally with the covering R of either flannel, cloth,
or other suitable fibrous material over which the yarn travels in its passage from the
cop or bobbin M to the "swift" or "fly" B; the said perforated roller Q being
provided internally with the perforated tube p, supplied with water or other suitable
liquid by means of the pipes m, valve or tap n provided with the lever t, actuated
intermittently by the rotating action of the arin or lever v; the said valve or tap n
being closed by the spiral spring when released from the rotating action of the arm
or lever V; the perforated roller Q and its covering R being rotated from the "swift"
or fly" shaft c by means of the bevel wheels and f, shaft c, worm wheel b and
worm a, the whole being applied, arranged, and operating substantially as described
and as illustrated in the annexed drawings for the purpose specified.
