Granted: 1903-02-02
Abstract: 22,115. Richmond, J. C. Nov. 2. Lace bobbins, jacking - off and threading.-Relates to a machine for emptying, filling, and threading lacemachine carriages. The empty bobbins in their carriages and the full bobbins are placed in boxes 11, 13 respectively. A slide 18 moved by a slide 14 operated by a cam and levers comes between the bottom of the box 11 and the needle bed, and moves the lowest carriage opposite to a hole 137 and bobbin - emptying mechanism. A finger 30, carried by a lever 28 operated by a cam, links, and levers, moves over the face of the bobbin, and slips between it and the spring, and so moves the spring out of the groove; a slide now descends, and presses down the top edge of the bobbin, after which another finger 34 detaches the bobbin and moves it over a collecting-pin. The slide 18 now moves the empty carriage opposite to another hole 137 and to the carriage filling- mechanism. A slide 48, operated by links, levers, and a cam, now moves the lowermost full bobbin from the box 13 until it engages the verge of the carriage, after which a finger underneath moves the bobbin completely into place and another finger strokes the spring over the face of the bobbin until it springs into the groove. The threading-needle is now moved upwards through the hole in the carriage, and a brush 84 on a swing- ing arm 79 wraps the thread round the hook, after which the hook descends and draws the thread through the hole in the carriage. The swinging- plate 79 is provided with catches which automatically grip the carriage and remove it and deliver it on to collecting-pins. All the principal parts are operated from a cam shaft 22 driven by bevel gearing from the main shaft 25. The collecting-pins are readily removable. The discharged bobbins or bobbins and carriages drop on a table which is gradually lowered by screw-andnut mechanism, put in or out of gear as the collecting-pin plate is inserted or removed. A knife-edge arm operated by the slide 14 serves to prevent more than one bobbin or carriage from being removed by the slides 18. Several complete sets of mechanism may be arranged on one machine bed. Instead of moving the carriages by means of the slide 18, they may be moved by spring pins connected with the slide 14 and moved into or out of engagement with holes in the carriages by cams.
