A NEW OR IMPROVED PROCESS FOR COMBINING WOOL WITH COTTON AND OTIIER FIBRES AND IN MEANS THEREFOR
Year: 1884

page_text: I WALTER ALFRED BARLOW of 6 St Pauls Churchyard in the city of London
Patent Agent and Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for A NEW OR IMPROVED PROCESS FOR COMBINING WOOL WITH COTTON AND OTIIER
FIBRES AND IN MEANS THEREFOR a communication to me from abroad by C Leconte
fils of Paris in the Republic of France to be as follows:-
"
This invention has for object the covering of threads of cotton jute hemp or other
fibrous material by wool
The means employed is the ordinary spinning frame whether a mule, jenny, or a
continuous spinning machine with a special guide.
I place in the machine between each of the bobbins of wool a bobbin of cotton or
other fibrous strand which has to be covered.
I pass the wool roving, through all the stages whilst the strand to be covered is
passed to the last cylinders so avoiding the drawing.
In the process of preparation I divide into two the rovings which are to serve
for the spinning.
A bobbin as employed is composed of a roving formed of two slivers placed one
upon the other which two slivers may be separated from one another very easily.
Tu the spinning machine I arrange the bobbins of cotton or other fibre on
spindles between the bobbins of wool. I then pass the wool rovings on to the
drawing rollers and finally to the cylinders before the spindles. The cotton strand
on the contrary is not passed through the cotton rollers but is passed direct to the
second cylinders. For this purpose guides are provided as follows:-The roving of
wool folmed of two slivers is passed through two holes or eyes in the guide which
are thus divided and the strand of cotton or fibro is passed through a third hole in
an arm of the guide. The slivers of the roving are thus passed to the two last
cylinders in a separate or divided state and the cotton or fibre strand is fed by its
guide between the two slivers and this allows of attaining to greater regularity in
the enrolling or covering of the cotton by the wool.

page_text: A further guide eye is provided in the guide for use when it is desired to produce
ordinary threads of wool without cotton or other fibrous thread foundation.
A hole is formed in the said guide piece for passage of a securing screw for
purpose of fastening the same to the fraine.
Two slivers distinct may be employed between which the thread of cotton or
fibre can be brought for spinning them together by the spindles.
I WALTER ALFRED BARLOW of 6 St Pauls Churchyard in the city of London
Patent Agent and Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the invention for
A NEW OR IMPROVED PROCESS FOR COMBINING WOOL WITH COTTON AND OTHER
FIBRES AND IN MEANS THEREFOR a communication to me from abroad by C. Leconte
fils of Paris in the Republic of France and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the covering of threads of cotton jute hemp or
other fibrous material by wool.
The means employed is the ordinary spinning frame whether a mule jenny or a
continuous machine with a special guide.
I pass the wool roving through all the stages whilst the strand to be covered is
passed to the last cylinders so avoiding the drawing.
In the process of preparation 1 divide into two the rovings which are to serve for
the spinning.
In the drawings hereto annexed Fig 1 is a bobbin as employed composed of a
roving formed of two slivers placed one upon the other which two slivers may be
separated from one another very easily.
In the spinning machine 1 arrange the bobbins of cotton or other fibre on
spindles between the bobbins of wool; I then pass the wool rovings on to the
drawing rollers and finally to the cylinders before the spindles. The cotton strand
on the contrary is not passed through the drawing rollers but is passed direct to the
second cylinders.
For this purpose a guide is provided as shown in Fig 2 of the drawings and the
work carried on as follows:-
The roving of wool formed of two slivers is passed through two holes or eyes a
and in the guide which are thus divided and the strand of cotton or fibre
is passed through a third hole c in an arm of the guide. The slivers of the roving
are thus passed to the last cylinders in a separate or divided state and the cotton
or fibre strand is fed by its guide c between the two slivers and this allows of
attaining to greater regularity in the covering of the cotton by the wool.

page_text: A further guide oye d is provided in the guide for use when it is desired
to produce ordinary threads of wool without cotton or other fibrous thread
foundation.
A holo E is formed in the said guide piece for passage of a securing screw for
fastening the same to the frame.
Two distinct slivers may be employed between which the thread of cotton or
fibre can be brought for spinning them together by the spindles.
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:-
Firstly The making and preparation of bobbins containing two distinct slivers
of wool and a thread of other fibre which is brought into or between the slivers
before finally twisting the same on the spindle as set forth.
Secondly The application in spinning machines of the guide pieco shown in
Fig 2.
