page_text: I, WILLIAM REID CANT of 4 Benvie Road, Dundee in the County of Forfar,
Wood Turner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:
This invention which relates to improvements in bobbins for spinning, roving,
winding and other frames has for its object to prevent breaking or splitting of the
bobbin heads and also in such bobbins as have driver holes in the head to diminish
or prevent wear of these holes.
These objects are effected by cutting or sinking a circular groove in the head in
a position to circumscribe or enclose the driver holes or the said driver holes may
be outside of the groove. Into this groove a ring or band of steel, iron, or other
metal is sunk the said ring or band being so constructed as to also form a bush or
ferrule inside the driver holes. In bobbins which have no driver holes, holes are
made specially in the head either outside or inside of the groove and lined with the
metal band or ring as before set forth.

Improvements in Bobbing.
I, WILLIAM REID CANT of 4 Benvie Road Dundee, in the County of Forfar,
0 Wood Turner, 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 :-

I, WILLIAM REID CANT of 4 Benvie Road Dundee, in the County of Forfar,
0 Wood Turner, 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 which relates to improvements in bobbins for spinning, roving,
winding and other frames has for its object to prevent breaking or splitting of

page_text: the bobbin heads or ends and also in such bobbins as have driver holes in the head
to diminish or prevent wear of the holes.
These objects are effected by cutting or sinking a circular groove in the head
and inserting a ring or band of steel, iron or other metal thereinto, which ring or
band in bobbins having driver holes may also constitute a lining for the holes.
On the accompanying drawings figure 1 is a vertical section of a bobbin having
the heads or ends constructed in accordance with my Invention and figures 2, 3
and 4 are plans of one head or end shewing different modifications under which
the ring or band may be used whilst figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate two modes of
forming the band itself.
In figures 1 and 2 the bobbin is shown as having driver holes a in both of its
heads or ends. Outside of these holes, that is to say in a position to circumscribe
or enclose them, a circular groove is sunk or cut into each head and into this
groove a ring or band 6 of steel or other metal is sunk or driven until it is flush
with the surface of the head. The ring or band may be made as shewn at
figures 5 and 6, that is to say it may have loops c formed on it which is
conveniently effected by taking a ribbon or band of steel or other metal and at
intervals throughout its length notching or countersinking it on the upper and
under sides alternately, as indicated at d, the part c between each pair of notches,
constituting the loop.
In sinking the band into the head the loop c is forced into the driver holes a, or
in lieu of forming loops on the band b, a plain band such as at figure 7 may be
sunk in the groove in the heads in which case separate thimbles or ferrules are
sunk into the driver holes to diminish or prevent the wear of them.
Figure 3 shows a modified arrangement in which the band b instead of circum-
scribing or enclosing the driver holes has the said holes outside of it these holes
being lined by loops formed on the band or by separate ferrules as before described.
In bobbins which have no driver holes bands are sunk into the heads or ends as at
figure 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A bobbin having grooves cut in its heads or ends with bands of steel or other
metal sunk thereinto the said bands being plain as at figure 7 or having loops or
lining ferrules for the driver holes on them substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
