PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Gassing Silk and other Yarns.
I, CHARLES IDESON of Hudsons Fold Addington via Leeds Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for gassing silk and other
yarns and refers to a novel arrangement of finger bar for gassing frames whereby in
consequence of there being less passages for the yarn a considerable economy of
time, gas, lubricant, and power is effected.
In carrying my invention into practice I arrange upon the finger bar 10 pot or
friction tubes above and 6 below the gas light, these tubes turning upon a steel
needle. Eight of these tubes are superposed in one row above the gas flame, the
other two being placed below and on each side of the lowermost tube in such a
manner that the centres of these three tubes are arranged on the three extremities.
of an equilateral triangle. By the side of the gas flame and somewhat below the
saine are arranged two similar tubes one on each side, the centres of these two tubes
being likewise arranged with that of the uppermost tube of the lower row of four
superposed tubes on the three summits of an equilateral triangle. This triangular
arrangement is a characteristic feature of my invention.
On its way to be cleaned the yarn proceeding from a creel, passes through a
suitable guide arranged at the top of the finger bar and is wound successively upon
each friction tube of the upper row upon the triangularly centred tubes aforesaid,
above and below the gas flame, so as to traverse the latter upon the tubes of the
lower row passing finally through a guide of special construction in order to be
wound upon a bobbin. This last mentioned guide consists of a bearing or centrally
notched piece cast integrally with the finger bar and carrying a wharve or drum
mounted upon the ends of two wire pins or pivots passing through the sides of the
notched part of the said piece or bearing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Gassing Silk and other Yarns.
I, CHARLES IDESON of Hudsons Fold Addington via Leeds Gentleman 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:-
2.1.31
My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for gassing silk and other
varns, and refers to a novel arrangement of finger bar for gassing frames, whereby
in consequence of there being fewer passages for the yarn, a considerable economy
of time, gas, lubricant and power is effected.
In carrying my invention into practice, I arrange upon the finger bar 10 pot or
friction tubes above and 6 below the gas light, these tubes turning upon a steel
needle. Eight of these tubes are placed in one row at one side of the gas Hame,
the other two being placed forward and on each side of the lowermost tube in such
a manner that the centres of these three tubes are arranged on the three extremities
of an equilateral or scalene triangle. On the other side of the gas flame are
arranged two similar tubes, the centres of which are likewise arranged with that
of the uppermost tube of the second row of four tubes on the three summits of a

page_text: triangle. This triangular arrangement is a characteristic feature of my invention.
On its way to be cleaned the yarn proceeding from a creel, passes through a suitable
guide arranged at the top of the finger bar and is wound successively upon each
friction tube of the upper row, upon the triangularly centred tubes aforesaid, above
and below the gas flame so as to traverse the latter upon the tubes of the lower
row passing finally through a guide of special construction in order to be wound
upona bobbin This last mentioned guide consists of a bearing or centrally notched
piece cast integrally with the finger bar and carrying a wharve or drum of wood,
pot, or any other suitable material mounted upon the ends of two wire pins or
pivots passing through the sides of the notched part of the said piece or bearing.
"In order that my invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had
to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
if
*12
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of a finger bar according to my inven-
tion and Figs. 3 to 8 detail views, showing various arrangements of the yarn when
passing through the flame, in plan;
A is the finger bar with curved part B, underneath which the flame C singeing
the yarn is situated. On each side of the flame a number of friction rollers or
tubes D made of pot, wood or any other suitable material are placed in a row with
four similar tubes D' arranged two on each side of the flame and forming triangles
with the end tube of each row, all being mounted on suitable pins fixed to the
*finger bar. At the upper end or end at which the yarn enters, a guide E is provided
*11. of bent wire and at the other end a drum or roller F turning in bearings G, over
which the yarn passes after it has been singed. The yarn passes round each of the
end tubes D and D¹ on each side of the flame, passing to and fro several times
through the flame, the number of times being regulated according to the amount
of singeing required. Figs. 3 to 8 show different arrangements of the yarn passing
around the tubes in various manners and directions, Figs. 3 and 6 showing only
four out of the six end tubes in use, and Fig. 8 only two.
"
The directions in which the threads move are shown by the arrow heads. It
will be seen that the yarn can readily be shifted to run in any of the directions
shown when required.
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 :-
A finger bar A for use in cleaning yarns with bent part B, having the tubes D
and D', forming two triangles on each side of the flame, round which the yarn is
passed, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
