PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Frames for Making Balls, Dust Brushes, and other
Articles of Yarns, Paper, or other Materials.
HORATIO LORD, 10 Ann Place, Bradford, in the County of Yorkshire Patent
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to make an improved frame, for the purpose of
making balls, dust brushes, and such like articles, from textile yarns, paper, or
other materials.
In carrying out my invention, I cut out a circular piece of wood or other
material of required dimensions, and I make a hole through the centre of required
circumference, I then cut this frame into two parts, thus forming two segments of
a circle.
The two segments I then fasten together again, by means of two or more pins
of wire or other material, the said pins being put into holes drilled in the two
segments of the frame, or the two segments of the frame can be fastened together
by other means.
The manner of working my invention is as follows:-I fasten the two segments
of the frame together in the manner described, I then put a ring of twine or wire,
inside the hole in the centre of the frame, I then take lengths of yarn, paper, or
other material, and thread them through the hole in the centre of the frame, and
also through the ring of twine or wire, I then pass them over the outside of the
frame, then through the hole and ring again, and this process I continue until the
hole and ring in the frame are entirely filled up, with the yarn, paper or other
material.
I then cut with a knife or scissors through the yarn, paper, or other material,
around the outer circumference of the frame, until it leaves the frame bare, I then
draw out the pins that fasten the two segments of the frame together, and then
draw away the two segments of the frame away from the yarn, paper, or other
material, the latter then forms a ball of yarn, paper, or other material. the whole
being kept firmly bound together by the ring of twine or wire, which is put into
the hole in the centre of the frame.
In applying my invention to the making of dust brushes, I fasten a handle
of wood or other material to the ring of twine or wire, before I place the ring in
the hole in the centre of the frame, I then carry out the process as before described,
and the ball comes out of the frame firmly attached to the said handle, a dust
brush being thus formed.
Dated this 20th day of November 1894.
HORATIO LORD,
Applicant.

HORATIO LORD, 10 Ann Place, Bradford, in the County of Yorkshire, Patent
Agent, 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:-
The object of my invention, is to make an improved frame, for the purpose of
making balls, dust brushes, and such like articles, from textile yarns, paper, or
other materials.
Figure 1. is a plan of a frame, and ring of wire or twine.
Figure 2. is a plan of a frame divided into two segments.
Figure 3. is a view of a pin, used for fastening the two segments of a frame
together.
Figure 4. is a plan of a ring of wire or twine as fixed to a handle to form a dust
brush.
Figure 5. is a sectional view of the outside circumference of a frame covered
with lengths of yarn, paper, or other material.
In carrying out my invention, I cut a circular piece of wood, or other
material A. A. of required dimensions, and I make a hole a', through the centre
of required circumference. I then cut the frame A. A. into two parts, thus forming
two segments of a circle. The two segments I then fasten together again, by
means of two or more pins B. B. of wire or other material, the pins being put into
holes a² a² a² a² drilled in the two segments of the frame, or the two segments of
the frame, can be fastened together by other means.
The manner of working my invention is as follows: I fasten the two segments
of the frame A. A. together in the manner described, I then put a ring of twine
or wire C, inside the hole a' in the centre of the frame. I then take lengths
of yarn, paper or other material D. and thread them through the hole a¹ in the
centre of the frame, and also through the ring of twine or wire C, I then pass
them over the outside of the frame, then through the hole a¹ and ring C again,
and this process I continue until the hole a', and ring C, in the frame A. A. are
entirely filled up with the yarn, paper or other material D, 1 then cut with a
knife or scissors, through the yarn, paper, or other material D. around the outer
circumference of the frame A. A. as shewn in Figure 5, by the line a¹, until the
outside edge of the frame is left bare, I then draw out the pins B. B, that fasten
the two segments of the frame A. A. together, and then draw away the two
segments of the frame from the yarn, paper or other material D. the latter then
forms a ball of yarn, paper or other material, the whole being kept firmly bound
together by the ring of twine or wire C, which is put into the hole a¹ in the centre
of the frame A. A.
In applying my invention to the making of dust brushes, I fasten a handle E. of
wood or other material to the ring of twine or wire C, before I place the ring C,
in the hole a', in the centre of the frame A. A. I then carry out the process as
before described, and the ball comes out of the frame firmly attached to the said
handle E, a dust brush being thus formed.
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
I claim is :-
1. In frames for making balls of yarn, paper, or other material, the employment
of a circular piece of wood A. A. divided into segments, the latter being fastened

page_text: together by means of pins of wire or other material B. B. in combination with
a ring of twine or wire C. as described.
2. In frames for making balls of yarn, paper, or other material, the employment
of the pins B. B. for the purpose of fastening the two segments of the frame A. A.
together as described.
3. In frames for making balls of yarn, paper, or other material the employment
of the ring of twine or wire C, in combination with the frame A. A. and the
pins B. B. for the purpose of keeping the yarn, paper, or other material, firmly
bound together, after it is removed from the frame A. A. as described.
4. In frames for making balls of yarn, paper, or other material to be utilised as
dust brushes the employment of the handle E and the ring of twine or wire C. in
combination with the frame A. A. and the pins B. B. as described.
