Flow or Supply of Size to and from Boiling Pans of Machines
Employed for Sizing Yarns.
JOSEPH HIBBERT of Bridge Street Over Darwen in the County of Lancaster Brass
Founder do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows
This Invention consists of an improved combination of reducing valve taps and
connecting for regularity and controlling the supply of size from the force pump to the
boiling pan and from the latter to the box or size trough of the sizing machine, the
convertion dispensing with various levers and connections heretofore used for operating
the taps and valves.
For the purpose aforesaid I employ in combination with the necessary connecting
and circulating feed pipes an ordinary screw self feeding valve. A three way tap and
a dead weight relief valve which permits the escape or passage of size from the boiling
pan to the size box of the machine-the said three way trap controlling shutting off
and diverting the flow of the raw size as required.

I, JOSEPH HIBBERT of Bridge Street, Darwen, in the County of Lancaster, Brass
and Copper Founder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the saine is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:—
This invention consists of an improved combination of reducing valve taps and
connections for regulating and controlling, the supply of size from the force pump to
the boiling pan and from the latter to the sow box, or size trough of the sizing
machine, the invention dispensing with various lovers and connections heretofore used
for operating the taps and valves.
For the purpose aforesaid I employ in combination with the necessary connecting
and circulating feed pipes an ordinary screw self feeding valve, a three way tap, and
a dead weight relief valve which permits the escape or passage of size from the boiling
pan to the size box of the machine the said three way tap controlling, shutting off,
and diverting the flow of the raw size as required.
Such being the nature and object of this my said Invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this Specification.
The raw size is fed by way of the pipe 1 and if to be supplied to the boiling pan
direct, the pipe 2 will be oponed and the three way tap 3 closed, when the size will
flow by way of the pipe 6A 64 and enter bottom of boiling pan 6 at the point 6B.
If the raw size is to pass direct to the sow box, the tap 2 will be closed, and the
three way tap 3 will be opened whereon the size will flow by the pipe 4 to the
sow box.
The passage of boiled size from the pan is effected by way of the three way tap 3
and pipe 4. the tap 2 being then open for purpose of filling in supply of raw
size at 6B.
The dead weight valve 5 regulates the pressure within the boiling pan at which the
size will pass off by way of the pipe 4 to the sow box until the pressure within the
pan 6 is lowered to the predetermined standard.
7 is a test tap at which size can be drawn off for examination, 8 is a tap for
permitting discharge of foul air after pan has stood overnight before letting in the
steam so as to allow the latter to blow through.
At 10 is the ordinary screw valve connected by its rod 11 and operated from the
float in the size box as is well understood.
12 is the valve controlling the entrance of steam for boiling the size.

page_text: Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this my said Invention,
I would have it understood that I lay no claim to any of the parts when considered
soparately, what I do claim is ;
•
The combination of the valves and taps 10. 3, 5, 2, 12, and connecting pipes, in
combination with the boiling pan 6, all substantially as described and illustrated by
annexed drawings, such combination obviating the necessity of use of levers and
eccentrics heretofore employed.
