Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Driving and Releasing Taking-up-rollers in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: PLATT FREDERICK JAMES
Filed: 1906-09-18
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 20,668. Platt, F. J., Dmitrieff, E., and Kiester, V. Sept. 18. Loom take-up motions.- By means of worm, bevel, or other gearing, a shaft d, Fig. 1, is driven from the tappet, crank, or other shaft. The shaft d is carried in a bracket secured to the adjacent side frame f, which permits the shaft to move somewhat, so that a bevelwheel g, Fig. 2, on the other end of the shaft may be moved into and out of engagement with a bevel-wheel k. The latter is carried on a shaft l provided with a toothedwheel s, which drives, through gearing w, x, 1, 2, 3, the shaft 4 of the take-up roller. The shafts l, v, &c. carrying this gearing are prevented from moving longitudinally by means of collars, nuts, &c., the shaft v being carried on an adjustable bracket o. The gearwheels can readily be changed when the loom is stopped. In order to allow part of the take-up gearing to be disengaged when the loom stopmotion acts, so that the cloth beam may move back and prevent thin places, the shaft d is carried on a lever h linked to rods 4, 8, which are normally pressed by a spring 15 into the position shown in dotted lines, when the bevel-wheels g, k are disengaged. When the stop-rod 25, Fig. 3, is in the starting position, however, a stud 27 thereon bearing against a projection 28 on the rod 8 keeps the lever h in the position shown in full lines. An adjustable bracket and projection 26 on the stud 27 also keeps a lever 21 raised. This lever is provided with a book 23 projecting over the lever 24 carrying the weft fork, and is also provided with a rod 20 having a finger 18 fitting between the jaws 16, 17 of a bracket 10 and in an elongated notch 19 in the rod 8. This finger prevents the rod 8 from being moved to disengage the bevel-wheels when the stop-rod 25 is moved without the operation of the weft fork. When the latter is operated, however, the lever 24 no longer supports the hook 23, the lever 21 and rod 20 fall, the finger 18 is withdrawn from the notch, and the rods are moved to disengage the bevel-wbeeh, so that the cloth beam can rotate backwards to an extent which may be limited by a pawl 30, Fig. 1. The pawl is carried on a block 32 oscillating and sliding on a stud 33, and engages with a ratchet-wheel 29 on the shaft l. The length of the slot in the block 32 and positioning of the pawl 30 determine the extent of permissible backward movement. In a modification, a projection 34, Fig. 4, limits the extent of movement of the pawl and ratchet-wheel.
