Title: Weft Cutting Apparatus for Automatic Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: GABLER JOHANNES
Filed: 1906-02-03
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 2692. Gabler, J., and Kunz, R. Feb. 3. Looms, weft-cutting in; shuttles, changing bobbins and the Like in, automatically.-Consists of weftcutting mechanism for automatic looms. A sliding spring-pressed weft-feeler 19 has an incline 20, which normally supports a pivoted finger 23 and an attached tongue 40 when the feeler is pressed back by the weft. When the weft is sufficiently exhausted to be embraced by the feeler, the tongue 40 is engaged by a cam-oscillated lever 30, and the lever on which the tongue is pivoted is moved against the action of a spring 16, so that the arm 26 of the lever raises a catch-rod 29, which is pivoted to the lay-sword. As the lay moves forwards, the catch-rod 29 engages a roller 15 on a centrallypivoted lever 14, and causes an incline 12 connected to its upper end to be moved forwards, so that it acts upon a roller 10 on a pivoted lever 9. A spring 8 on the lever 9 is thereby depressed, and acts upon a stud 7 on a spring extension 6 of the upper blade 5 of the weft-cutting shears. The blade 5 is raised from the lower blade 1, which is adjustably mounted on the loom frame and passes through the lay as the latter beats up. As the lay continues to move forwards, an adjustable arm thereon strikes the extension 6 and closes the shears, thereby cutting the weft from the exhausted cop. As the lay moves backwards, the blade 5 is again raised, and it is lowered at the next beat-up to cut the end of weft from the new cop. In a modified form of the apparatus, a projection on the lever carrying the tongue 40 strikes a vertical lever connected to the spring 8.

Feed-dogs 90,91 on a rocker 92 cooperate with a tooth 87 on the device 73, flat faces of the parts 90, 87 being normally in engagement, whereas when the rocker is depressed, bevelled faces of the parts 91, 87 engage, and the device 73 is promptly set in motion ; the device 73 may carry more than one 'tooth, for example two teeth cooperating with a single tooth ou the rocker. In consequence of the blows on the tooth 87 at starting, and cn the dog 90 at the end of the revolution of the device 73, this device is in the form of a coiled resilient arm. The rocker 92 is provided with a resilient arm 97, formed into a segmental universal bar for engagement by the heads 101 of the typebars 17 ; the resiliency of the arm 97 lessens the noise of the blow of the type-bar, and together with the returning-spring 103 of the rocker 92, assists in giving a quick return to the type-bar, thereby preventing double or ghost impressions. The spacekey actuates a spring-returned rock-shaft connected by a link to a rocking frame 120, provided with an arm 122 for depressing the rocker 92. The shaft 72 is mounted at the upper end in a ball bearing 85 in a bracket 74, and at the lower end in a screw 80 threaded through a lug 78 on an arm of the bracket 74. The escapement mechanism is detachable as a whole, the spring-drum gear being mounted in frame plates 50, 51 connected by cross-pieces 53 secured to the top plate 3 by screws and the bracket 74 being secured to the plate 51 by screws. The arm . 122 is madeof such a breadth as to protect the bearing 85 from dust or erasings. The top plate 3 is formed with a dust-guard 124 for the type-bar bearings, and the escapement is situated behind and above this guard.
