Inventor: GABLER JOHANNES
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-07-23
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 17,495. Gabler, J. Nov. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically. - The arrangements comprise a shuttle-box which is rotated for replenishment. When the weftfork mechanism is operated, a lever 9, Fig. 1, is, by means of a spring 8 and lever mechanism 7, 5, 6, raised into the path of a pin 11 on a floating lever 12 mounted on one of the lay-swords, so that, when the lay beats up, the lever 12 is rocked. A band 16 connected to the shuttle-box 15, Figs. 1 and 2, which has end shoes 15<a> supported in a frame or bracket 17, then rotates the shuttle-box to bring the shuttle opening opposite to the lowest bobbin in the magazine. A pusher 20, controlled by a spring 20<a>, is actuated by a wedge 18 and rod 19 to feed forwards the lowest bobbin, the pusher having side pieces 20<d>, between which a spring-controlled block 23<a> secured to a bottom support or bobbin tray 23 is mounted. As the lay completes its forward movement, the tray 23 is moved to the left, and the bobbin thereon enters the shuttle and ejects the old bobbin. The movement of the upper part of the lever 12 is limited by a stop 12<a>, and, when the lever 9 continues to act upon the pin 11, the lever 12 slides in a slot 13 against the action of a spring 14. In a modification, the shuttlebox 26, Figs. 7 and 8, is supported eccentrically by end shoes 26<a>, so that, after rotation, it takes up a slightly advanced position. The magazine 31 is pivoted and is acted upon by a spring 30, but is normally retained in the position shown in Fig. 8 by a catch-pawl 29 controlled by a rod 28. When this rod is raised by the weft-fork mechanism, the magazine is swung outwards by the spring and is subsequently moved inwards by the shuttle-box 26, so that a stationary pusher 27 feeds the fresh bobbin into the shuttle-box. Instead of remaining stationary while the lay is moving forwards to cause the shuttle to be inserted, the pusher may move forwards to assist theinsertion.
