Improvements in Spools or Bobbins for Ring Spinning Frames.
We, JOHN WILLIAM WILSON and WALTER BENNETT WILSON both of Beevor
Works Barnsley in the County of York, Bobbin Manufacturers, do hereby declare tho
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of an improved holding device combined with a spool and
ring spinning spindle for securing the bobbin or spool on the point of the spindle
whereby a true and positive driving or a true and positive rotary motion is imparted
to the bobbin or spool from the spindle.
According to this our invention we bore the interior of the tube of three diameters,
the first so large as to clear the circumference of the spindle, the next diameter is
contracted for receipt of the holding device, the remaining diameter to the point of
the tube is enlarged. Into the contracted bore hole we force a short length of tube,
made of brass, spelter or other soft metal the base of the metal tube is square and the
angles thereof are, in the process of forcing the tube into position, embedded in the
wood, or other material of which the bobbin or spindle is formed, at the sides of
the bore hole and effectually prevent any turning or twisting round of the said metal
tube in the hole. The other end of the metal tube is, from the bore hole of the point
of the spool, expanded or made trumpet mouthed thereby locking the tube so as to
prevent any end wise movement or pulling of the tube out of its position. The
interior of the metal tube is of bore suitable to receive a short length of the part of
the spindle which being tapered, wedges fast in the tube so holds the wood or other
spool and effects the true and positive driving of the same.
The metal holding device as aforesaid to be used in combination with a spool of
wood or other material, and a ring or Rabbeth spindle may be secured in the con-
tracted bore of the spool by means of a worm, projecting feathers, vanes or other
device for securing the same in position so as to prevent such device turning in the
bore hole or being pulled out of the spool when the latter are being "doffed
pulled off the spindles.
or
The herein described device improves the driving, and running of the bobbin or
spool by ensuring a perfect and true fit, the "doffing" and replacing of the spool
or bobbin, occasioning little wear or change in the internal size of the metal tube.
Another advantage of the metal tube is that the same is much less susceptible to
variation in size from climatic changes, and varying temperatures in mills or other
places where spools or bobbins formed of wood, paper, or paper machie would be liable
to expand or contract from which cause, under many circumstances it is impossible to
ensure good results by use of bobbins or spools formed entirely of wood or other soft
material.

Improvements in Spools or Bobbins for Ring Spinning Frames.
We JOHN WILLIAM WILSON, and WALTER BENNETT WILSON, both of Beevor
Works Barnsley in the County of York, Bobbin 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 consists of an improved holding device combined with a spool and

page_text: ring spinning spindle for securing the bobbin or spool on the point of the spindle
whereby a true and positive driving or a true and positive rotary motion is imparted
to the bobbin, or spool from the spindle.
According to this our invention we bore the interior of the spool of three diameters,
the first so large so as to clear the circumference of the spindle, the next diameter is
contracted for receipt of the holding device, the remaining diameter to the point of the
spool is enlarged.
Into the contracted bore hole we fore a short length of tube made of brass, spelter
or other soft metal, the base of the metal tube is in some cases square and the angles
thereof are in the process of forcing the tube into position, embedded in the wood or
other material, of which the bobbin, or spool is formed, at the sides of the bore hole,
and effectually prevent any turning, or twisting round of the said metal tube in the
hole. The other end of the metal tube is from the bore hole end or the point of the
spool, expanded, or made trumpet mouthed, thereby locking the tube so as to prevent
any endwise movement, or pulling of the tube out of its position. The interior of the
metal tube is of bore suitable to receive a short length of the top part of the spindle,
which being tapered, wedges fast in the tube and so holds the wood, or other spool and
effects the true and positive driving of the same.
The metal holding device as aforesaid is to be used in combination with a spool of
wood or other material, and a ring or Rabbeth spindle and may be secured in the
contracted hore of the spool by means of a worm, projecting feathers, vanes or other
devices for securing the same in position so as to prevent such holding device turning
in the bore hole or being pulled out of the spool when the latter is being "doffed" or
pulled of the spindle.
Such being the nature and object of our invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a ring or Rabbeth spindle, and a spool, the latter in section
in order to clearly illustrate our improved appliance for securing the same on the
spindle.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation (enlarged scale) of a part of a spool, having our
improved appliance therein, the same not being turned over, or trumpet mouthed, at
the top.
Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 2 but shewing the appliance in a finished state the
top edge being turned over, or trumpet mouthed.
Fig. 4 shews a modified. form of our appliance inserted into a spool.
Figs. 5 and 6 are elevations of our holding appliances and Figs. 7 and 8 are plan
views of same.
Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation of part of spool, and the improved appliance secured
therein by worm or thread.
According to this our invention we bore the interior of the spool of three diameters
the first 2, so large as to clear the circumference of the spindle 3, the next diameter 4
is contracted for receipt of the holding device 5, the remaining diameter 6 to the
point, or top of the spool is enlarged. Into the contracted bore hole 4 we force a
short length of tube forming the holding device 5, made of brass, spelter or other soft
metal, or the holding device 5 can be formed with a square base, or a small flange 7
(see Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7) and the angles thereof are, in the process of forcing the tube,
or. holding device..into position embedded. in the wood, or other material, of which
the bobbin or spool 1 is formed, at the sides of the boré hole 4, and effectually prevent
any turning or twisting round of the said metal tube or holding device 5 in the hole 4.
The other and opposite end 8 of the metal tube 5 is, from the bore hole end 6 of the
spool 1 expanded, or made trumpet mouthed (see Figs. 1 and 3) thereby locking the
tube, or holding device 5 so as to prevent any endwise movement, or pulling of
the tube 5 out of its position in the spool 1 when "dofting."
In Fig. 2 is shewn the holding device 5 forced into position in the spool 1, but the
end 8 of the said holding device has not been turned over, or trumpet mouthed, as is
illustrated in Fig. 3.
The interior of the nietal tube or holding device 5 is of bore suitable to receive a

page_text: short length of the part 9 of the spindle 3 which being tapered wedges fast in the
tube 5, and so holds the wood, or other spool 1, and effects the true, and positive
driving of the same.
The metal holding device 5 as aforesaid is to be used in combination with a spool 1
of wood or other material, and a ring or Rabbeth spindle and such holding device 5
may be secured in the contracted bore 4 of the spool 1 by means of a worm 10
(see Fig. 9) projecting feathers or vanes 11 (see Figs. 4, 5 and 6) or other like
devices, so that such holding device 5 is prevented turning in the bore hole 4 or being
pulled out of the spool 1 when the latter is being doffed" or pulled off the
spindle 3.
The herein described device 5 improves the driving, and running of the bobbin or
spool 1 by ensuring a perfect and true fit, the "doffing" and replacing of the spool,
or bobbin 1 occasioning little wear, or change in the internal size of the metal
tube 5.
Another advantage of the metal tube is that the same is much less susceptible to
variation in size from climatic changes, and varying temperature in mills or other
places where spools or bobbins formed of wood, paper, or paper machie would be liable
to expand, or contract from such cause, under many circumstances it is impossible to
ensure good results by use of bobbins or spools formed entirely of wood, or other soft
material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A holding device such as 5 when applied to and secured as described in the bore
of a spool tube for purpose herein fully described.
2. The combination of device 5 tube 1 and spindle 3 all as described and sub-
stantially as illustrated by drawings annexed.
