To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMANN SGHWABE, a subject of the King of Belgium, residing at Verviers, in the Kingdom of Belgium, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Impregnating Bobbins, (for which 1 have obtained patents in Great Britain, No. 8,d30, dated April 26, 1893; in Belgium, No. 101,216, dated September 2, 1892; No. 101,513, dated September 20, 1892; No.101,951, dated October 31, 1892, and No. 102,516, dated December10,1892; in France, No. 228,382, dated March 4,1893, and in Germany, No. 70,208, dated November 17, 1892,) of which the following is a specilication.

The purpose of the present inventionis to provide Jfor the more convenient impregnation of bobbins of any textile material, but usually wool, with liquid or gas with which they are to be saturated; and it consists principally in a holder of the construction hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Among operations in which this invention is applicable are dyeing, bleaching, removing fat-ty matter, mordanting, cleaning, oxidizing, steaming or drying, materials in the form of bobbins or the like which can be put upon a tube.

1n the drawings hereto annexed Figure 1 represents a vertical section of the holder showing four bobbins thereon arranged in a receptacle for an impregnating liquid, the section being upon the plane of the line XY in Fig. 3. Fig. :2 is a similar section of the upper part of the holder and bobbins thereon on the line V W Fig. 3 with parts in a diierent position. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the plane ot the line T U Fig. 1 of the holder showing the bobbins thereon in plan.

The holder consists of a tube A the enternal diameter of which is not greater than that of the passage way through the center of the bobbins to be placed thereon. At one end of the tube, at a little distance from its extreme end, is a flange 4@serving as a support for the bobbins H and from near above this hange G to nearly the other end of the tube A the latter is pierced with a number of holes A. Two slots B B entend longitudinally along the tube A parallel to its axis and diametrically opposite to each other for the passage of a cross pin C. This cross pin C is in connection with a stopper D of any suitable form adapted to slide with a slight friction inside the tube A so that it cuts od that part of the tube A which is surrounded by the bobbins placed thereon from that part which is not so surrounded, when the cross pin G rests upon the end most bobbin. By this means any liquid or gas which passes from the outside into the tube A, or from the tube A through its perforations to the outside must pass through the bobbins on the tube. The pin C is made withdrawable to permit of insertion or removal of the bobbins, and the stopper' D is provided with small pins D engaging in the aforesaid slots B B to prevent it from turning so as to displace the axis of the hole C through which the pin C passes from that plane in which the slots B B lie. The stopper D is provided with a screw threaded spindle E adapted to pass through a hole E in the end of the tube A to be secured by a nut K to maintain the stopper-D raised while the pin C is removed and the bobbins are being threaded thereon or removed. The tubeA is also provided near its upper end with two lateral holes L and the pin E may at an equivalent place be enlarged in an annular form as at L Fig. 2,to permit of the passage of a hook or suitable device for suspending or afterward withdrawing the tube from the vessel in which it is placed, The vessel M is of any suitable form to contain one or more tubes A, which are iixed temporarily each in the upwardly directed mouth of a tube I passing through the door of the vessel M.

1n using this apparatus, the tube A being removed from the vessel M the pin C is raised by hand carrying with it the stopper D until the spindle E of the latter projects at the end of the tube A where it is then secured by the nut K. The pin C is then withdrawn and the bobbins H are strung on. NVhen the desired number has been thus placed in posit-ion the pin C .is again inserted and the nut K is removed and the pin C is pushed down onto the uppermost bobbin across which it rests. The stopper D moves down with the pin. The

ICO

tube A is then fitted in the pipe-mouth I in the vessel M. If the latter be nowr lled with solution of a dye or other liquid it will pass by gravity into the pipe A through the bobbins H and so i'low out of the vessel. A similareiect maybe produced by using a suction pump attached to the pipe I. If a torce pump be attached to this pipe the liquid will be forced through the bobbins from inside thel pipe A into the vessel M, but in such case a Weight F such as an annular block of lead must be placed over the pin C around the tube A to prevent the stopper-D from beingv forced outward.

The apparatus may be vmost usefully employed with a pump which may be converted from a force to a suction pump and vice versa, so that the liquid may be alternately forced and drawn and thus caused to traverse the bobbins repeatedly as often as may be neces-y in said tube and a cross pin C traversing the said slots B B and stopper D in combination substantially as set forth.

2. A bobbin holder consisting of a tube A Awith perforations A and two longitudinal slots B B, a liange G, a stopper D adapted to slide in said tube A, a Aremovable cross pin C traversing said slots B B and stopper D and means'for engaging said stopper D temporarily in the end of the tube A, in combination substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of a vessel M, an open pipe mouth I in the base thereof, an open tube A adapted to be iitted insaidpipe mouth, the

'said tube A being perforated at A `and having two longitudinal slots B B, a base flange G on said tube A, a stopper D adapted to slide in said tube A having tongues D D engaging in said .slots B B and a removable cross pin C adapted to traverse the said slots lB B and stopper D substantially as set forth and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
