County of York "master dyer" and WALTER WILLIAM LANCASTER LISHMAN of

FROM WORSTED, COTTON, SILK OR ANY OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCE, to be as
follows:-
or
Hitherto it has been customary to use what are known as fixed, pegged or
grooved rails. to. run the warps over-
r-before entering the dye-vat or sizing
machine for the purpose of separating them,--when there is more than one warp
in a "draft."-Owing to the present rail being a fixed one, should the warps get
"crossed" or "feltered" the warps are very often seriously damaged-We propose
to substitute for the fixed rail-one-that should the warps get " crossed
"feltered "will revolve and free the pegs from the warps, and thus prevent any
breakages that would otherwise occur. Fastened to the end of the rail is a disc to
which is connected a handle which "throws off" or stops the machine by means of
a lever at the same time causing a bell (either electric or ordinary) to ring; thus
notifying to the person in charge of the machine, that there is something wrong.
The rail can be regulated-according to the weight of warps passing through the
machine-by means of a tension screw and spring or by other means-also, from
the bell we propose to run a series of wires, one to each set of rollers, so that
should the warps by any means catch and wrap round the rollers, warning, will at
once be given to the man in charge of the machine, and at the same time indicate
which set of rollers is wrong.

Dyeing and Sizing Warps Made from Worsted, Cotton, Silk,

County of York "master dyer" and WALTER WILLIAM LANCASTER LISHMAN of

pattern dyer," do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS CONNECTED WITH MACHINES FOR DYEING AND SIZING WARPS MADE
FROM WORSTED, COTTON, SILK OR ANY OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCE, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-

Hitherto it has been customary to use what are known as fixed (pegged or
grooved) rails to run the warps over before entering the dye-vat or sizing machine
for the purpose of keeping them separate when there is more than one warp in a
run (or draft) Owing to the ordinary rail being a fixed one, should the warps get
"crossed or "feltered" they are often very seriously damaged. We substitute
for the ordinary fixed rail one that should the warps get "crossed" ог feltered".
will revolve immediately the "crossed" or 'feltered" part comes in contact with
the pegs on rail; thus freeing the warps from the pegs and thereby allowing them
a plain smooth surface to run over, thus preventing breakages which would other-
wise occur, see Fig. 1 a. which represents the revolving pegged rail, which is kept
in position by pintle d Fig. 1 acting on spring c Fig. 1-pintle dx opposite pintle d
is to prevent the rail, making more than half a revolution when being pulled over
by the feltered"
warps, thus preventing the possibility of the pegs re-entering
the "feltered warps before they have been made straight by the attendant.
Catch ƒ Fig. 1 fitting into ratchet wheel e Fig. 1 on end of rail a Fig. 1 is so fitted
that the attendant will have to turn the rail completely round to place it in its
original position and by being brought round in the same direction as the warps
are running it will make it easier to place each warp in its proper position. The
pegged rail can be regulated according to the weight of warps passing through the
machine by means of tension screw cx Fig. 1 and spring c Fig. 1. Fig. 11 shows
end elevation of pegged rail, with disc g Fig. 11 attached; to disc g Fig. 11 are
connected levers h. hx Fig. 11 which when the rail revolves are so acted upon that
they liberate spring i Fig. 11. which forces back lever j Fig. 11 thus causing the
machine to stop. When spring i Fig. 11 is liberated, it at the same time acts
upon a small spring which rings bell k Fig. 11. thus warning the attendant that
something is wrong. Fig. 111 represents spring box b. Fig. 1 shewing fixing of
tension screw cx Fig. 1. and spring c Fig. 1.
