Year: 1868

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Paul Gornall and Richard Gornall, of Blackburn,
in the County of Lancaster, Spindle and Fly Makers, for the
Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LONG COLLARS' OF ROVING AND
SLUBBING FRAMES USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COTTON OR OTHER FIBROUS
MATERIAL."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Paul Gornall and
Richard Gornall at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents,.
with their Petition, on the 30th December 1868..
We, PAUL GORNALL and RICHARD GORNALL, of Blackburn,. in: the
5 County of Lancaster, Spindle and Fly Makers, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LONG COLLARS."

page_text: OF ROVING AND SLUBBING FRAMES USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COTTON AND
OTHER FIBROUS MATERIAL," to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to the "long collars" of such frames in which
the spindles work, and consists in constructing such collars with a bush
or ring of brass or other metal at the upper end of such collars, so that
when worn the bush or ring may be removed and replaced by a new one
instead of having to replace the whole long collar by a new one as
heretofore.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Paul Gornall and Richard Gornall in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 29th June 1869.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, PAUL
GORNALL and RICHARD GORNALL, both of Blackburn, in the County of
Lancaster, Spindle and Fly Makers, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Thirtieth day of December, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, in the
thirty-second year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and suc-
cessors, give and grant unto us, the said Paul Gornall and Richard
Gornall, Her special licence that we, the said Paul Gornall and
Richard Gornall, our executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as we, the said Paul Gornall and Richard Gornall, our
executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the
term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE LONG COLLARS' OF ROVING AND SLUBBING FRAMES USED IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF COTTON OR OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS," upon the condition (amongst others)
that we, the said Paul Gornall and Richard Gornall, our executors or
administrators, by an instrument in writing under our, or their, or one
of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to

be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent
Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date
of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Paul Gornall and Richard Gornall
do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 the "long collars" of such frames in which
the spindles work, and consists in constructing such collars with a bush
or ring of brass or other metal at the upper end of such collars, so that
when worn the bush or ring may be removed and replaced by a new one
instead of having to replace the whole long collar by a new one as
heretofore.
In order that our Invention may be clearly understood we have
hereunto annexed a Sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof, and have
marked the same with figures and letters of reference.
At Figure 1 is shewn part of a long collar; A, the upper portion in
section in order to shew the bush or ring B screwed therein; C is the
spindle; Figure 2 is view of bush or ring B separate from long collar;
Figure 3, plan view of same; at Figure 4 is shewn long collar, the upper
end of which is removable and may be replaced when worn out, or the
"bush" may be of the form shewn at Figure 5, but we prefer the form
shewn at Figure 1, being the readiest made and the cheapest.
It will be evident the use and application of the bushes as above
described will effect a large saving to users of this class of machinery, as
the upper portion of a long collar becoming worn rendered the whole
collar useless, the spindle working therein having too much "play" or
working room, allowing the spindle to work unsteady; the introduction of
a bush corrects this, and the long collar is thus rendered nearly or
entirely as good as when new.
Having thus fully described and ascertained the nature and object of
this our said Invention, together with the manner in which the same
is to be or may be performed or carried into practice, we would have it
distinctly understood that we claim as our Invention the "bushing" or

page_text: ringing of long collars, as and for the purpose herein described and
illustrated.
In witness whereof, we, the said Paul Gornall and Richard
Gornall, have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Twenty-
eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-nine.
Witness,
WILLIAM JOHN KNOWLES,
Engineer,
Blackburn.
