Title: Improvements in or relating to Warping or Beaming Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D02H13/00
Filed: 1910-08-03
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,395. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Aug. 3. Yarns, warping and beaming.-In a warping and beaming machine, drop-wires t, Figs. 2, 4, and 7, are secured to rigid hinged blocks t<1> provided with detent shoulders t<5>, the drop - wires being normally maintained in upright positions by means of their loops or open eyes which engage warp threads. When a warp thread breaks, the corresponding d r o pwire t and block t<1> tilt, the detent shoulder t<5> on the block then coming into the path of a shoulder r on the adjacent longitudinal bar R of a reciprocating grid O, which is thereby stopped, whereupon the machine is stopped. The hinge blocks are arranged in the slots t' of the lugs t<6> of crescentshaped hingemembers t<3>, each provided with a pivot-pin t<3> engaging transverse holes in the blocks t'. T h e hingemembers t<3> have tongues t<4> fitting in grooves s of rods S. and concave parts fitting against these rods, sheet metal spring clamps s' screwed to the rods S bearing against the members t<3> and having parts s<3> to form stops for the dropwires. The members may be adjusted along the rods S and the drop-wires, may be arranged in staggered order with relation to the warp threads. The grid, 0, which is provided with cross-bars O<1>, is reciprocated on supporting- rollers carried bv brackets p by means of an arm n on a shaft M. This shaft has an arm K connected by the separable members l, l<1> to a cam-operated lever J. The members l, l<1> normally move together, but, when the oscillation of the shaft M is.stopped, the member l moves down. without the member l<1>, and, by the engagement of bevelled parts l<3>, l<4>, the member l is forced outwards against the action of a spring into engagement with the toe q<2> of a knock-off lever Q. The tail q' of the lever Q then engages a detent rod H pivoted to a treadle e<4> on a shaft F, and frees the detent rod from the underside of a guiding-staple h<1>, thus enabling a weighted lever g to rock the shaft F, which cause the belt-shifter W to be operated and a brake-block f<1> to be applied to the brake-pulley f<2> to stop the machine quickly. The shaft F carries another treadle, which is connected by a footboard to the treadle e<4>. By pressing this footboard, the driving-strap may be first moved on to a pulley which is loose on the driving-shaft C but is geared thereto by reduction-gearing, the driving-strap being afterwards moved on to a pulley fast on the driving-shaft, and the detent rod H being thereupon caused to engage the staple h'. The yarns pass from the creel under a lease-rod u, through separating-combs &c. u<1>, u<2>, and over a roll u<3> to the beam B, which has trunnions b<2> rotating in bearings in weighted swinging arms b<4>, and is driven frictionally by a drum on the shaft C.
