We, HENRY SOUTHWELL and JAMES GRANDIDGE, both of Hudson Street Saw
Mills, Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster, Bobbin Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
-
Our invention relates to improvements in roving and slubbing bobbins more
particularly, to the ends. thereof.
The object of our invention. is to provide the end of such bobbin with a novel·
form of metal hoop which end rests upon the rotating collar or when in use is
in engagement with the driving peg or stud which works or rotates the bobbin.
on the roving, or slubbing frame or machine. which part of the bobbin is well
known.
According to our construction the said end of the bobbin is provided with. a.
ring or hoop of metal which hoop is provided around its circumference with lugs.
which extend towards-the centre thereof such lugs fit. into the notched or recessed.
portions of the bobbin which recessed parts are well known such lugs are of a.
length equal to the thickness of the wood of the bobbin thus at such parts the
bobbin is completely encased with a metal covering thus forming a hard and
durable surface for the driving peg to bear against and preventing the bobbin
at such parts from becoming saturated with oil also obviating the breaking off. of.
the bearing or working surfaces of such bobbin when in use: as is now well
known to be the case with bobbins now. in use also according to our arrangement
the hoop is firmly held. in position on the bobbin end.

Improvements in and relating to Roving and Slubbing Bobbins.
We, HENRY SOUTHWELL and JAMES GRANDIDGE, both of Hudson Street Saw
Mills, Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster, Bobbin Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
Our invention relates to improvements in roving and slubbing bobbins more
particularly to the ends thereof.
The object of our invention is to provide the end of such bobbin with a novel

page_text: form of metal covering or rim and which rests upon the rotating collar or is
in engagement with the driving peg or stud which works or rotates the bobbin
when in use on the roving or slubbing frame or machine which part of the
machine is well known.
In order that our invention may be understood we annex the accompanying
sheet of drawings.
Figure 1 shews a slubbing bobbin with our invention applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a plan of our invention, or hoop.
Figure 3 is a section of Figure 2, through A B.
Figure 4 is a section of Figure 1. the lower part of a slubbing bobbin and the
hoop in section the hoop section being shewn in thick black lines.
According to our construction the said end of the bobbin C is provided with
a ring or hoop D of metal which hoop is provided around its circumference with
lugs or recessed parts D' which extend inwards towards the centre of the hoop
such lugs fit into the notched or recessed portions of the bobbin which recessed
parts are well known but such lugs are of a length equal to the thickness of
the material or wood of the bobbin end thereby at such parts or recesses the
bobbin is completely encased with a metal covering thus forming a hard and
durable surface for the driving peg of the driving mechanism of the machine
which is well known to bear against and preventing the bobbin at such parts
from becoming saturated with oil also obviating the breaking off of the bearing
or working edges of such bobbins when in use as is now the case with bobbins
as generally constructed also according to our arrangement the hoop is firmly
held in position on the bobbin end. The said hoop is preferably made of
malleable cast metal in one piece. The hoop being provided with the lugs herein
mentioned prevent what is known as the crushing breakage or splitting of the
bobbin at the end, as the said hoop forms a ring or band of metal as shewn in
Figs. 1 and 2, and serrated at its upper edge see Fig. 1, is pressed or hammered
into the material or wood of the bobbin thus the hoop is firmly secured on the
bobbin end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
-
1. In combination the slubbing or roving bobbin C with the hoop D provided
with lugs D as and for the purposes herein set forth.,
2. The hoop D with lugs D¹ applied to the end of a slubbing or roving bobbin
substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
