Abstract: 7685. McGee & Son, W., and Walls, A. G. May 17, 1910. Thread - spooling machines; stop - motions.- Spooling-machines having spooling-heads and cam motions similar to those of the Weild type are provided with a motion for shunting the thread-guides to a desired position for starting a spool, comprising a pinion mounted loosely on the traverse screw and driven from the ending- motion, and a clutch 138, which is splined on the traverse screw and connected with the pinion by means of a spring 143, which is released at the required time and for the required period by a lever 145 controlled by an adjustable cam mounted on the cross-shaft. A free wheel is mounted on the spindle-wheel shaft 111 in the train connecting this shaft with the traverse screw, so that the spindles are not actuated during the shunting operation. The clutch 138 is moved against a fixed brake plate 152 when it is disengaged. The flanges of the ending-motion driving-pulley 119 and the pinion 120 are fitted with a shearing-pin 124 carried in hardened steel bushes. To prevent the overrunning of the traverse mechanism during ending, screws 161, 163 are mounted on a fixed part of the shaping-mechanism and on the top finger bar 164 respectively, and are adjusted so that, should the shaping-mechanism be operated during ending, the progress of the finger bars are arrested and the traverse reversed in a manner similar to that which takes place during spooling. The finger-bars form part of a type of universal shaping-mechanism, and are substituted for the usual tapered plate shaper described in Specifications 122/58, 699/60, and 1128/67.
