We, JOSHUA HENRY WILSON Bobbin Manufacturer, and JOHN GREENWOOD,
Foreman, both of Cornholine Todmorden in the County of Lancaster do hereby
declare the nature of our said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CREELS or
PREPARING SPINNING, WINDING AND DOUBLING MACHINERY to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to avoid the necessity of loose creel-pegs or
skewers, as now generally used, for the Creeling of bobbins and tubes in
Intermediate, Roving or Jack frames, Mules, Twiners, Throstles, Doubling and
Winding frames-We substitute in lieu thereof two loose collars which are made
to hold the ends of the tube or bobbin, one of which is made to revolve loose as a
footstep on a pin fixed to the lower creel rail, or, the pin may form part of the
collar and revolve on a footstep or cup fixed to the rail, on this collar rests the
lower end of the tube or bobbin when in the creel.
The other loose collar is made to revolve loose on a pin fixed to the upper creel
rail and carries the upper end of the tube or bobbin when in the creel, this loose
collar is kept from falling off the pin when there is no bobbin or tube in the creel
by a small shoulder on the lower part of the pin.
In the action of putting a bobbin into the creel, the top collar is raised a little to
allow the bottom part of the tube to fall into its place on the bottom collar, the pin
on the top rail being left sufficiently long for that purpose.
The tubes or bobbins are thus kept in an upright position, can revolve freely, and.
be more easily put in and taken out of the creel.

Doubling Machinery.
We, JOSHUA HENRY WILSON, Bobbin Manufacturer, and JOHN GREENWOOD
Foreman, both of Cornholme Todmorden in the County of Lancaster do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CREELS OF PREPARING,
SPINNING, WINDING AND DOUBLING MACHINERY and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :--
The object of our invention is to avoid the necessity of loose creel pegs or
skewers as now generally used for the creeling of bobbins and tubes in
Intermediate, Roving or Jack frames, Mules, Twiners, Throstles, Doubling and
Winding frames by substituting in lieu thereof two loose collars which are made
to hold the ends of the tube or bobbin when in the creel.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figure 1 represents two creel rails
forming part of a creel, and shewing in section a bobbin or tube in its position in
the creel supported by our loose collars, which are also shewn in section-a, a, are
the creel rails; b, the loose collar, forming the footstep, which revolves on the pin c,
and supports the lower end of the bobbin d, the pin c is made fast in the rail a.
The upper end of the tube d is supported by the loose collar e which revolves on
the pin the pin being fastened into the top rail a-the lower end of this pin is
made with a shoulder g to prevent the collar falling off the pin when there is no
bobbin or tube in the creel, this pin f is made sufficiently long to allow the collar e
to be raised in the action of putting a bobbin into the creel, so as to allow the
bottom part of the tube or bobbin to get into its place on the bottom collar b.
Figure 2 represents the collar b and the pin c all of one piece (or the pin driven
tight into the collar) the pin revolving in the cup fixed in the bottom rail a.
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
we claim is
The dispensing with creel pegs or skewers in creeling bobbins by substituting in
lieu thereof a loose collar in the bottom rail of the creel to support the lower part
of the bobbin and another loose collar in the top rail to support the top of the
bobbin, as, and in the manner described.
