Title: Improvements in the Jacquard Mechanism for Operating the Shuttle Boxes in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1897-07-09
Granted: 1898-01-15
Abstract: 16,245. Hollingworth, E., [Wattie, W.]. July 9. Loom change-box motions.-In Specification No. 16,175, A.D. 1897, mechanism is described for operating the shuttle-box motion in which three pattern chains are employed. The third pattern chain, employed for weaving the striped body of a blanket, for instance, is, according to that invention, put out of action by an indicating-device in connection with the take-up roll, the main chain being at the same time put into action to weave the borders or headings. In the loom described in Specification No. 1190, A.D. 1897, an indicating- device on the take-up roll is employed in connection with two pattern chains for weaving articles of which the body is plain. In the present case the indicating-device on the take-up roll is not used, but a fourth pattern chain is employed which acts as a multiplier chain for the third chain and also brings the main chain into action when required. The main chain 5 and the third chain 39 operate the indicating-lever 20 of the drop-box shifting- mechanism by which the shuttle-boxes are moved up or down. The second chain, which serves as a multiplier for the main chain, is placed at the back of the chain 39, and the fourth chain 150 is placed at the side as shown. The barrels of all four chains are worked by pawls on an oscillating arm. Mechanism is described for enabling the main and second chains to co-operate and the third and fourth chains to co-operate. Mechanism is also described through which the main chain starts the third chain. The main chain is restarted whenever the indicating-lever 92 is raised by the fourth chain.

Abstract: 5144. Malpass, A., and Clayton, R. March 2. Lathes.-A lathe for turning and boring saucepans or other hollow-ware has a fixed slide B and movable slide B' with cross-slides D, D'. The tool bar F' is slidably but non-rotatably mounted in holders F, F' carried by pins e<2> in headstocks E on the cross-slides. The springs e<4>, f <6> allow the tool bar to yield to irregularities when turning the side and bottom of the saucepan respectively. A groove f<3> is provided on each side of the tool-bar, and a tool may be inserted in each, so that, after one tool has turned the side, both may be used for facing the bottom. The saucepan S' is held by adjustable blocks k<1> and a ring clamp k<3>, and the spindle S has a fast and loose coned pulley L<1>, L<2>. A slide H, carrying adjustable brackets H', H<3> with pins h', h<5> engaging slots d<2> , d<3>, Fig. 6, in the cross-slides, is reciprocated by a screw shaft H<1> driven from the pulley L<3> through fast and loose reversing-pulleys M, M<1>, M<2> and reducing-gear m<4>. A dummy guide J is fixed to the front cross-slide D, and has a slot j<1> in which works a pin d<4> on the cross-slide D<1>. The shapes of the slots d<2>, d<3>, j<1> are such that the tool is first advanced by the movement of the slide B<1> to turn the side of the saucepan, and the slides D, D<1> are then moved inwards together, while the slide B<1> remains stationary, to face the bottom. An arm N on the slide H carries two pins n', n<2> and a finger n<3>. When the cut is finished, the pin n<1> strikes an arm P on a shaft P<2> and disengages a pin p<3> on it from a slot p<4> in a lever R<2> pivoted at r<1>. This lever is then moved by the finger n3 to shift the belt to the small end of the cone, and at the same time the belt on the pulley M is shifted to the pulley M' by a bar V<1> and lever R operated by the pin n'. This quickening of the speed and reversal of the screw H effect a finishing or polishing cut during the return of the slides. The machine is started by operating the lever R' by a hand-lever T and then shifting the belt from the loose to the fast pulley L<1> by a lever P' mounted on the shaft P<2>. A tool is mounted on the cross-slide D to turn the bead on the edge of the saucepan, and is operated by the movement of the cross-slide D<1>. A reversing-train of wheels, described in the Specification, may be substituted for the pulleys M<1>, M<2> and gear m<4>.
