PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Skips to Facilitate the Doffing of Spinning and
Doubling Frames.
I, HENRY HICKTON, trading as William Hickton & Son, of Chestergate,
Stockport, in the County of Chester, Cane and Willow Skip Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in skips used for holding the bobbins
and cops in the process of doffing ring or doubling frames and has for its object to
form wicker work skips with a ledge so as to permit of resting and sliding the
same along the rail of the ring or doubling frame and thus facilitate the doffing of
the same.
To this end I suitably fix to the side of the wicker-work skip a ledge or slide.
The said ledge or slide I employ near the bottom thereof and may preferably
consist of a Tiron, the vertical part of which is fitted against the skip and the
respective horizontal part passed into the side of the skip and held secure therein
by passing the vertical ribs of the skip through holes formed in the said part of the
Tiron.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Skips to Facilitate the Doffing of Spinning and
Doubling Frames.
I, HENRY HICKTON, trading as William Hickton & Son, of Chestergate,
Stockport, in the County of Chester, Cane and Willow Skip Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in skips used for holding the bobbins and
cops in the process of doffing ring or doubling frames and has for its object to form
wicker work skips with a ledge, so as to permit of resting and sliding the same
along the rail of the ring or doubling frame and thus facilitate the doffing of the
same and also prevent the wear of the skip.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 a cross section of a wicker work skip provided
with my improvements.
Figs. 3 & 4 are detached cross sections of two modifications thereof.
In carrying out my invention and referring to Figs. 1 & 2, I provide the side of
the wicker work skip A near the bottom thereof with a ledge or slide B, preferably
of metal and T shape in section, which forms a rest for the skip A.
The vertical
part 6 of the ledge or slide B, is fitted against the skip A and the respective
horizontal part 6 passed into or through the side of the skip A and held secure
therein by passing the vertical ribs a of the skip A in the making thereof through
corresponding holes a¹ formed in the part 6 of the T iron, ledge or slide B.
In lieu of forming the latter T shaped, the same may be cross like in section,
see Fig. 3, the part 6 & 63 bearing against the side of, and the part 6¹ passing
through and being secured to the skip A, in the manner as already described.

page_text: Another modification of my invention consists in forming the ledge or slide B
like in section, see Fig. 4, and fitting it against the corner of the skip A, by
placing inside of the skip A a metal strip c opposite to the part 63 of the ledge or
slide B and securing them together by rivets c¹.
In lieu of extending the ledge or slide B, the whole length of the skip A, it
be formed in sections.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is-
