Title: Improvements in and in Apparatus for the Formation of Intermediate Selvages or Borders for Fabrics Woven Side by Side in Looms
Inventor: COWBURN JAMES
Filed: 1906-01-26
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 1998. Cowburn, J.. Jan. 26. Slit-up fabrics; selvedges.-Internal selvedges for slit-up fabrics are formed by interweaving an additional selvedge weft a, Fig. 1, with a suitable number of warps b, these warps being raised above or lowered below the other warps in the upper or lower planes of the sheds, to allow selvedge shuttles to be passed through the sheds simultaneously with the ordinary shuttle for inserting the body weft d. The wefts a may be inserted simultaneously in the two fabrics as shown, or alternately in each fabric for a suitable number of picks ; or one weft may be inserted alternately into the two fabrics for a suitable number of picks. An internal selvedge may be formed in one fabric only. Looms, forming selvedges in ; swivel shuttles; picking-motions ; shedding-motions ; shedding-levers. -In a loom for weaving slit-up fabrics with internal selvedges as described above, the selvedge wefts are inserted by swivel shuttles f, Fig. 4, which are mounted to slide in a groove g formed in a board h secured to the lay, a rib in the upper side of the groove entering a groove on the top of each shuttle and holding the shuttle in the groove. The shuttles are provided with racks gearing with pinions, which are operated by a sliding rack formed with a projection l, to which cords p are adjustably connected by means of slotted links n. The cords are guided by.pulleys and are connected to a pivoted lever, which is oscillated by a suitablyshaped cam on a shaft geared to the tappet-shaft, so that the shuttles are passed through the sheds of the selvedge warps at the proper times. The selvedge warps are shed by leashes 5, which are connected to pivoted levers 6 provided with curved arms 6<a> to prevent lateral displacement. Each lever 6 is connected by cords 10, 11 to two hooks of a jacquard or to two levers of a dobby, and for ordinary shedding the levers are raised by the cords 10. When a shed for the selvedge weft is formed, the required levers 6 are raised by the cords 11, so that the corresponding warps are raised into a notch in the board h. The descent of the levers 6 is limited by a bracket 9. The shuttles f may be mounted below the warps, or one above and the other below, or one shuttle only may be used to form both selvedges. The selvedge warps may be shed by tappets or other mechanism.

Abstract: 24,055. Walton, F. H. Oct. 29. Displaying.-In brackets or fittings for displaying goods in shop windows, a pair of plates, which may be adapted to carry a shelf, are clamped to a supporting-rod by a screw bolt and nut, or by a rivet. In one form, a pair of plates A, B, Fig. 4, are provided with grooves to fit round a rectangular rod and to be clamped thereon by a screw bolt and nut C, D, or hy a rivet, a spacing-collar 0 being fitted between the plates.

Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 14,305. Calico Printers' Association, and Slattery, W. June 21. Feeding-apparatus; tentering.-R e l a t e s t o weft-straightening appliances in machines for tentering. The weftstraightener is driven by worm gearing from the usual handwheeloperated shaft b, on which is mounted a ratchetwheel g driven by a pawl i on a lever h, to which is connected one end of a cord or the like j. The cord passes round a pulley k on the reciprocating frame a and round fixed pulleys k<1>, k<2>, and is attached at its other end to a bracket on the reciprocating frame. If the machine is running with the weft square, the ratchet-wheel and pawl rock backwards and forewards, remaining in engagement. If the weft runs out of square, the differential tension on the shaft g due to the chains, results in the pawl slipping back over the teeth and feeding in one direction only. In machines in which there is no reciprocating motion, the cord is adjustably attached to the plaiting-arm, and the pawl is thrown into or out of operation by hand.
