I, CHARLES PORTLAND ROBINSON of Wheat Bridge Mills, New Brampton, in the
County of Derby, Surgeon's Lint and Paper Box Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention has for its object improvements in bobbins suitable for use in
winding yarn.
The barrel of the improved bobbin consists of a tube formed by rolling paper upon
a mandrel and fixing it by means of paste or other cement. The tube is formed with
shoulders upon it at a distance apart corresponding to the length which the barrel is
required to have between the collars or ends. The shoulders upon the barrel are
produced by giving an additional thickness to the tube by winding on to the inner tube
a further quantity of paper of such a width as not to expand over the full length of
the barrel. Or an inner and outer tube may be separately prepared and the one
passed within the other and secured by cement. The collars or ends of the bobbin are
formed of paper board cut out into circular discs, each having a central hole of a
size to admit the small end of the barrel of the bobbin so that the collar can pass
along the barrel until it comes to rest against the shoulder. The end of the barrel is
glued or cemented and the collar is passed to its place, then the end projecting beyond
the collar is split or divided (or this may have been previously done) and the end is
spread out and made to lie down flat upon the face of the collar. Afterwards when
the glue is dry a second similar disc of paper board is glued on over the first,
it covers the spread out end of the barrel and in its centre it has a hole smaller
than the interior of the barrel and just of a size to fit the spindle on which the bobbin
is to be placed when it is used in winding the yarn.

nature of this invention and in what manner tho same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object improvements in bobbins suitable for use in 5
winding yarn.
The barrel of the improved bobbin consists of a tube formed by rolling paper upon
a mandrel and fixing it by means of paste or other cement. The tube is formed with
shoulders upon it at a distance apart corresponding to the length which the barrel is
required to have between the collars or ends. The shoulders upon the barrel are
produced by giving an additional thickness to the tube by winding on to the inner
tubo a further quantity of paper of such a width as not to extend over the full length
of the barrel. Or an inner and outer tube may be separately prepared and the one
passed within the other and secured by cement. The collars or ends of the bobbin
are formed of paper board cut out into circular discs, each having a central hole of a 1
size to admit the small end of the barrel of the bobbin so that tho collar can pass
along the barrel until it comes to rest against the shoulder. The end of the barrel is
glued or cemented and the collar is passed to its place, then the end projecting
beyond the collar is split or divided (or this may have been previously done) and the
end is spread out and made to lie down flat upon the face of the collar. Afterwards
when the glue is dry a second similar disc of paper board is glued on over the first,
it covers the spread out end of the barrel and in its centre it has a hole smaller than
the interior of the barrel and just of a size to fit the spindle on which the bobbin is to
be placed when it is used in winding the yarn.
In order that my said invention may be most fully understood and readily carried
into effect I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a sido elevation partly in section of a bobbin made in accordance with "

page_text: tube b may be formed upon the inner tube as already stated. cc are the end discs
which are first applied over the ends of the inner tube; these ends are spread out as-
the drawing indicates and secured to the discs by cement. d d are the outer discs
which are put on over the discs c c. The holes in the centres of the discs d are of a
size to fit the spindle which is intended to receive the bobbin. Or the hole may be
made somewhat larger and it may then be fitted with a metallic eyelet of the size of
the spindle.
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 :-
A bobbin suitable for use in winding yarn and composed of the parts a, b, c and d
substantially as described.
