Title: An Improved Stop Motion for Automatic Looms.
Inventor: JACKSON ARTHUR JAMES
Filed: 1906-01-01
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 29. Jackson, A. J. Jan. 1. Loom slop-motions. -In an automatic bobbin - changing loom of the type described in Specification No. 15,867, A.D. 1905, mechanism is provided for stopping the loom if a bobbin is not properly inserted into the shuttle, or if the bobbin magazine is exhausted or the lowest bobbin therein is sticking. A lever h is pivotei to a bracket at the back of the lay a, and has fingers projecting into the shuttle box above and below the shuttle. If the newly-inserted bobbin projects above or below the shuttle, it strikes one of the fingers on the lever h and rotates the latter, whereby, through an arm a<2> and a sliding rod b on the lay, a pivoted bell-crank lever moves the shipper lever from its notch and stops the loom. The rod b is also moved to stop the loom when the transferrer fails to take a fresh bobbin from the magazine. When a bobbin is taken from the magazine, it . depresses a finger pivoted thereto, and, through suitable mechanism, raises a pivoted cam-piece n out of the path of a projection m<1> on a bell-crank lever m, which is pivoted to the actuating-slide k of the transferrer. When the transferrer fails to take a bobbin from the magazine, the projection m' rides up the cam-piece n, and the upper end of a vertical arm of the lever m strikes a finger o, which is pivoted on the lay. When the finger o is moved, it acts through a pivoted lever p to slide the rod b and thereby stop the loom. When the finger pivoted on the magazine is depressed by a bobbin, it is held down by a pin thereon engaging the underside of the transferrer, in order to keep the cam-piece n inoperative until after the slide k has returned to its normal position.

Abstract: 6596. Brooks, J. B., and Holt, J. March 25. Saddles. - In cycle s a d d l e underframings of the type in which the seat leather is maintained in a uniform state of tension by rigid stretcher bars connected between the cantle and peak plates, and in which the seat is supported on a rigid or girder-like base-bracket, the vertically-arranged coiled supporting - springs at either the front or rear end of the saddle are placed in tension, when the load comes on the saddle, by interposing a longitudinally - arranged rock - lever between the peak or cantle plate of the saddle and the spring. In applying the invention to the peak of the saddle, the forward end of the base-bracket a carries a vertical strut b, the upper end of which is formed into a pair of lugs b<1>, between which a rock-lever c is fulcrumed. The front end of this lever is pivoted to a bracket d carried by the tension plate e, while the rear end of the lever is secured to the upper coil of the spring g.

In applying the invention to the rear end of a saddle, two sets of levers and springs are employed, one at each side of the saddle. The levers are carried by the forked ends b<1> of a bridgepiece b, which connects the rear ends of the basebracket a. The outer ends of the levers may be pivoted to brackets carried by the cantle plate ; or the levers may be connected to the cantle plate by compression springs m, as shown in Fig. 9.
