Title: Improvements in Warp-stop-motions for Looms.
Inventor: ARNOLD-FORSTER WILLIAM HOWARD
Filed: 1907-04-18
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 8973. Forster, W. H. Arnold-. April 18. L o o m stop - motions; healds and leashes; dust and the like, expelling on generation.-In an electromagnetic warp stop-motion of the type in which the healds or the lingoes of jacquard leashes act as detectors, a relay circuit is used in conjunction with a weaker primary circuit for actuating the stopping -mechanism. The healds b, Fig. 1, or pieces a attached thereto, or the lingoes havo bifurcated ends, which, when a warp breaks, drop momentarily into mercury troughs c, d, alternately connected to opposite poles of the circuit. The primary circuit is closed and an electro-magnet therein is energized, so that its armature is moved to close the relay circuit. A second electro-magnet k, Fig. 3, in the relay circuit is energized, and a projection m on its spring armature n is moved from under a projecting part on a pivoted lever q, which falls upon the catch end of the weft fork r, Fig. 1. The catch is thereupon engaged by the weft-hammer s to stop the loom in the usual manner. When the fork-holder t is moved forwards, an incline u thereon raises the lever q, which is again supported by the projection m. A rotated fan v is used to blow away dust, fluff, &c. from the mercury troughs. Instead of the mercury troughs, metal strips 2, Fig. 7, on wedgeshaped pieces may contact with a suitably-shaped metal piece 3 attached to the heald &c. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the electro-magnet in the relay circuit may move a hinged lever, ratchet, &c. into the path of a reciprocating bar, by which it is moved to strike the belt-guide handle or other part.

Patent GB-190818424-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: PLANT THOMAS GUSTAVE
Filed: 1908-09-02
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 18,424. Plant, T. G. Jan. 29, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 19071- Boot-sole sewing-machines; guiding materials.- The welt-guide and back-gauge operating-mechanisms are modified so that the welt-guide and back gauge may be brought up to the work after each feeding movement by a feeling action free from the usual and objectionable hammering. The back gauge 15 is attached to a slide which is divided into two parts 12, 13. The meeting edges 21, 23 are cut obliquely and are separated by balls. A spring 17 tends to hold the parts 12, 13 apart. In operation, the slide is periodically withdrawn by the cam-lever 30, the end of which contacts with a stop-plate on the slide, and is returned towards the work by a spring 27. Immediately the end of the back gauge touches the work, the movement of the forward part 13 is retarded and the consequent relative movement of the oblique surfaces 21, 23 causes the slide to jam in its guide and so be locked from further movement. The weltguide is carried by an arm 56 pivoted to a part 55 of the feed-slide. The pivot 59 passes eccentrically through a sleeve 58 so that by rotating the sleeve 58 the position of the welt-guide can be adjusted. A pin 62 on the end of the arm 56 is engaged between the jaws 63, 64, formed by the ends of two levers 70, 71<1> pivoted at 67 to the backgauge slide. The lever 70, which carries the lower jaw 64, is slotted at 69 and embraces a stud fixed to the fixed frame. The lever 71 is yieldingly connected to the frame by a spring 73. Thus the welt-guide is lifted from the work by the back gauge in its receding movement, and the back gauge in the forward movement can continue to move toward the work after the welt guide has been arrested. The stop-plate 36, Fig. 7, on the back-gauge slide against which the cam-lever 30 contacts, is fixed to the slide by a screw, and, to insure against slip, the surfaces of the plate and slide are toothed. A screw - stop 40 limits the forward movement of the slide. The back gauge and the back rest 6 are locked periodically in their work-engaging positions by ratchet detents 43 ; these detents are withdrawn for the feeding movement by a cam-lever 46 which strikes against the tail-pieces 49.
