We, THOMAS BENTLEY of 10 Edgar Street, Edge Lane Road, Carder, and SAMUEL
MAKIN of 21 Chadderton Road Furniture Dealer, both of Oldham in the County
of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our invention to be as follows:-
--
This invention refers to improvements upon an invention for which Letters Patent
No. 5319 were granted to one Roger Tatham and one of the parties hereto on the
10th day of November A.D. 1883 and has for its object the simplification of the said
apparatus and the counterbalancing of certain parts thereof so as to put less strain
upon the sliver yarns or threads being operated upon.
In performing our present invention we still employ the shaft or roller supporting
another roller between which the sliver yarns or threads as they come from the bobbins
are first passed and situated behind the ordinary drawing rollers as heretofore, but
instead of having recesses formed in such shaft or roller separated by wing pieces we
form longitudinal projections upon the periphery of such shaft or roller and we reduce
the diameter of the roller above to accommodate such projections. By this means we
are enabled to shorten the length of the right angled extensions of the arms which
are supporting the individual sliver yarns or threads so long as they remain intact and
which drop into contact with the projections upon the shaft or roller in case of
breakage and so sever or cut off the remaining sliver yarns or threads so as
effectually to prevent the formation of "singles." And in order to counterbalance
the said arms instead of mounting each set of the same upon separate studs behind
the bar as heretofore we now arrange that two sets of such arms or four in all, shall
be mounted upon a single stud and which arrangement affords space for an extension
of each arm beyond the stud in alternate directions and whereby the same can be
counter-balanced to the greatest nicety.

page_text: A further improvement consists in dispensing with each of the bars extending the
whole length of the frame behind the shaft above mentioned and also behind the
drawing rollers, such bars being provided with notches or openings for conducting
the sliver yarns or threads and substituting therefor and for each set of sliver yarns
or threads a bracket secured to the under side of the remaining bar provided with a
pair of arms, one arm projecting backwards to the rear of the shaft and being there
provided with a pair of eyelets or holes to receive the two separate sliver yarns or
threads and the other arm projecting forwards and provided with a single eyelet or
hole to receive and conduct the two sliver yarns or threads together to the drawing
rollers.

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus Used in Preparing
Spinning, Doubling, and Winding Cotton, Wool, Silk, and other
Fibrous Materials. .
We, THOMAS BENTLEY, of 10 Edgar Street, Edge Lane Road, Carder and SAMUEL
MAKIN, of 21 Chadderton Road, Furniture Dealer both of Oldham, in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our 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 refers to improvements upon an invention for which Letters Patent
No. 5319 were granted to one Roger Tatham and one of the parties hereto on the
10th day of November A.D. 1883 and has for its object the simplification of the said
apparatus and the counterbalancing of certain parts thereof so as to put less strain
upon the sliver yarns or threads being operated upon.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a cross section of so much of a slubbing,
intermediate or roving frame as is necessary to illustrate our improvements which are
applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same machine on a larger scale and
Figs. 3 and 4 are a full sized view and front view respectively of the supporting
arms () herein before described.
In performing our present invention we still employ the shaft or roller (a) supporting
another roller (6) between which the sliver yarns or threads (c) as they come from
the bobbins (d) are first passed and situated behind the ordinary drawing rollers (e e)
as heretofore but instead of having recesses formed in such shaft or roller (a) seperated
by wing pieces we form longitudinal projections (g) (see Fig. 2) upon the perifery
of such shaft or roller and to accomodate such projections we reduce the diameter of
the roller (b) above opposite such projections. By this means we are enabled to
shorten the length of the right angled extensions (y and 2) of the arms () which are
supporting the individual sliver yarns or threads so long as they remain intact as
described in Specification No. 5319-83 and which drop into contact with the pro-
jections (y) upon the shaft or roller (a) in case of breakage and so sever or cut off
the remaining sliver yarns or threads so as effectually to prevent the formation of
singles." And in order to counterbalance the said arms () instead of mounting
each set of the same upon seperate studs behind the bars (t) as heretofore we now
arrange that two sets of such arms (i) or four in all shall be mounted upon single
stud (k) at the back of the bars (t) as seen in front detached view Fig. 5. and also full
size in Figs. 3 and 4 and which arrangement affords space for an extension of each
arm (i) beyond the stud (k) in alternate directions as illustrated and whereby the same
can be counterbalanced to the greatest nicety.
A further improvement consists in dispensing with each of the bars extending the
whole length of the frame behind the drawing rollers such bars being provided with
notches or openings for conducting the sliver yarns or threads substituting therefor

page_text: and for each set of sliver yarns or threads a bracket (s) secured to the under side of
the remaining bar (t) provided with a pair of arms one arm (u) projecting backwards
to the rear of the shaft (a) and being there provided with a pair of eyelets or
holes (vv) to receive the two seperate sliver yarns or threads (cc) and the other
arm (u) projecting forwards and provided with a single eyelet or hole (x) to receive
and conduct the two sliver yarns or threads (cc) together to the drawing
rollers (ee). .
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
1st. In machinery or apparatus used in preparing, spinning, doubling and winding
fibrous materials the employment of longitudinal projections upon the back roller in
combination with the counterbalanced arms mounted and operated substantially as
and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated upon the accompanying
drawing.
2nd. Mounting two sets of the counter-balanced arms upon a single stud sub-
stantially as and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated upon the
accompanying drawing.
3rd. The improved arrangement and employment of bracket provided with a pair
of eyelets or holes at the back and with a single eyelet or hole in front substantially
as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.
