Year: 1852

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Mortlock Ommanney, of the City of
Chester, Esquire, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN CERTAIN
PARTS OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS SUB-
STANCES"
Sealed the 1st April 1852, and dated the 1st October 1852.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Mortlock
Oinmanney at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with
his Petition, on the 1st October 1852.
J, HENRY MORTLOCK OMMANNEY, of the City of Chester, Esquire, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CERTAIN PARTS OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS
SUBSTANCES to be as follows:—
The parts of machinery for spinning to which my improvements
relate are the flyers. I have recently made these flyers of cast iron, sub-
sequently annealed. Now my Invention consists in casting what is
called the lump for the presser spring on the flyer under this process,
thereby saving the necessity of brazing or soldering the same, and
affording a much greater degree of security than heretofore attained.

Patent Office on the 1st April 1853.
"
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I,
HENRY MORTLOCK OMMANNEY, of the City of Chester, Esquire, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the First day of October, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, in the sixteenth
year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs, and successors, give and
grant unto me, the said Henry Mortlock Ommanney, Her special licence
that I, the said Henry Mortlock Ommanney, my executors, administra-
tors, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Henry Mortlock Omman-
ney, my executors, administrators; and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the 'Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF MACHINERY FOR SPINNING COTTON
AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES," upon the condition (amongst others)
that I, the said Henry. Mortlock Ommanney, by an instrument in
writing under my hand and seal, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henry Mortlock Ommanney, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement (that is to say):
The parts of machinery for spinning to which my improvements
relate are the flyers. I have recently made these flyers of cast iron,
subsequently annealed. Now my Invention consists in casting what
is called the lump for holding the spring or other apparatus to actuate
1

page_text: the presser on the flyer under this process, thereby saving the
necessity of brazing or soldering the same, and affording a much
greater degree of security than heretofore attained. When the leg of
the flyer is cast open to be polished inside, and afterwards closed up, I
cast the lump with the flyer, so as not to present a broad surface on the
leg, either by arranging a small extent of contract, or by having a hole
by means of one or more cores, in order to permit that part of the flyer
leg to be closed up.
The Invention may also be carried out by casting the flyer leg in a
tubular form, or a tube with a slit, as it appears in a finished flyer by
means of a core, and casting the lump on it in contact with any desired
surface of the leg of the flyer which does not require closing up; the
leg may be polished inside by drilling, rimering, or other means, and
the slit, if not made before, may be made, if required, with a circular
saw or other means.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Mortlock Ommanney, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this First day of April, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three.
Signed, sealed, and delivered
in the presence of
GEO. FRED FRY,
H. M. OMMANNEY. (L.S.)
Clerk to Mess Sutton & Co.,
