Complete Specification Left, 3rd Nov., 1892-Accepted, 3rd Dec., 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Certain Improvements in the Cones of Cop Winding Machinery.
We, EZRA SYKES, and DAVID SYKES, of The Turnbridge Iron Works,
Huddersfield, in the County of York, Machine Makers do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to that class of cop or pirn winding frame wherein
the cops are formed by revolving in a vertical position between three cones or
conical rollers.
Hitherto these cones have been composed of boxwood and in practice it is found
that the yarn as it is being wound or built up on the spindle, cuts or forms grooves
or fluting radially around the boxwood cones, which grooves are an objection to
the proper and even winding of the yarn.
To prevent the grooving of these conical rollers is the object of our invention
and this we accomplish by covering the said conical rollers with sheet tin, brass or
other suitable hard material. The cones which are to be thus covered may be
made of boxwood or a compound of cork and shellac, paper pulp; or the said cones
may be made of other suitable descriptions of wood, composition or material
previous to being covered with the metal.
Dated this 2nd day of February 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Certain Improvements in the Cones of Cop Winding Machinery.
We, EZRA SYKES and DAVID SYKES, of The Turnbridge Iron Works,
Huddersfield, in the County of York, Machine Makers, 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 reference to that class of cop or pirn winding frame wherein
the cops are formed by revolving in a vertical position between three cones or
conical rollers.
Hitherto these cones have been composed of boxwood and in practice it is found
that the yarn as it is being wound or built up on the spindle, cuts or forms grooves
or flutings radially around the boxwood cones, which grooves are an objection to
the proper and even winding of the yarn.
Our invention will be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings forming a part of this Specification, wherein
Fig. 1 is vertical section of one of our improved cones for cop winding machinery,
and Fig. 2 is plan of same.
The body A of the cone is made of boxwood, or a compound of cork and shellac,
paper pulp, or other suitable descriptions of wood, composition or material and is
turned true on its periphery, which is then covered with sheet tin, brass or other
suitable hard material B. The sheet B may be first cut to the required size and
then worked over the cone A and turned down onto the ends of the part A as
shewn in the drawings so as to secure it thereon, or the metal sheet or covering may
be otherwise secured onto the cone A.

page_text: 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:—
In cones employed in cop winding machinery, the combination, with a body A
composed of boxwood, cork and shellac, paper or other suitable wood, composition
or material, of a covering, of sheet tin, brass or other hard material secured
thereon, substantially as herein shewn and for purposes described.
Dated this 1st day of November 1892.
