IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDING AND REELING FRAMES
Year: 1884

page_text: We WALTER PEARSON Machinist of Bury, JOHN HENRY PEARSON Machinist
THOMAS GOUGH Mill Manager and WALTER EDWIN SCHOFIELD Blacksmith all of
Heywood in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of our
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDING AND REELING FRAMES" to be as
follows:-
This Invention relates to the construction of winding and reeling frames
employed for the purpose of winding or reeling yarn from the bobbins or spools
of ring-spinning frames onto bobbins or swifts, the object of the Invention being to
take any "snarls" out of the yarn as its passes over the end or nose of the bobbin
or spool
The ring-frame bobbins or spools are placed upon pegs fixed at a suitable angle
to a board which extends the whole width of the machine. In front of each peg is
a light bracket hinged to the board and carrying a small cone or trumpet mouth
which, when allowed to fall back by its own weight bears against the end or nose
of the ring frame bobbin or spool, and as the thread in coming off the latter passes
through the cone and between it and the nose of the bobbin or spool it smooths
all "snarls" out of the thread and prevents them from passing onto the swift or
reeling bobbins.
A slit or notch is cut through one side of the cone for the convenience of passing
the thread into the cone without threading it through.
In front of the cone is an adjustable tension rod or wire which is so mounted
that it can be raised or depressed so as to give more or less tension to the yarn.
Dated this 14th day of May 1884.

We WALTER PEARSON Machinist of Bury JOHN HENRY PEARSON Machinist,
THOMAS GOUGH Mill Manager and WALTER EDWIN SCHOFIELD Blacksmith all of
Heywood in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of our
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDING AND REELING FRAMES" and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:―
This Invention relates to the construction of winding and reeling frames
employed for the purpose of winding or recling yarn from the bobbins or spools of
ring spinning frames onto bobbins or swifts, the object of the Invention being to
prevent any "snarls" in the yarn as it passes over the end or nose of the bobbin
or spool.
Such being the nature and object of our said Invention we will now proceed to
describe in detail the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed or
carried into practical effect, and in order that the same may be clearly understood we
have annexed hereunto a Drawing illustrative thereof and have marked the same
with letters of reference corresponding with those in the following explanation
thereof.
The ring frame bobbins or spools a, a are placed upon pegs fixed either vertically
or at a suitable angle to a board or rail b, 6 which extends the whole length of the
machine.
In front of each peg is a light adjustable lever c, c hinged to a bracket d, d
fastened on the frame or board and carrying or made with a small cone or trumpet
mouth e, e which when allowed to fall by its own weight bears against the end or
nose of the ring frame bobbin or spool a, a and as the thread in coming off the
latter passes through the cone or trumpet e, e and between it and the nose of the
bobbin or spool a, a it smooths all "snarls" out of the thread and prevents them
from passing onto the swift or winding bobbins. A slit or notch may be cut
through one side of the cone or trumpet for the convenience of passing the thread
into the cone without threading it through. In front of the cone an adjustable
tension rod or wire may be so mounted that it can be raised or depressed so as to
give more or less tension to the yarn if required.
When changing a bobbin the cone or trumpet lever c, c is turned over into the
position shown in dotted lines. Or, instead of the cone a ring of rounded section
or other suitable circular device may be employed to rest on the end or nose of
the bobbin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that we
claim the improvements in winding or reeling frames consisting of a light
adjustable lever hinged to a bracket and carrying a cone or trumpet mouth or
other suitable circular device which bears or presses with its own weight upon the
end or nose of the bobbin or spool in order to take out all "snarls" from the yarn
as it passes from the spool to the swift or winding bobbins.
