Abstract: 30,158. Treger, E., and Treger und Nossen Ges. Dec. 29. Yarns, warping. - In a warping - machine in which the reed is carried by a movable table b that is displaced automatically for a distance equal to the height of the cone of the warping-mill each time the warp length is set by the use of a scale or scales, the reed slide c is pushed forwards on the table b automatically for a distance equal to the width of a beer by transmission means actuated by the existing movement of the table. During the setting movement of the table b to the right on a fixed table a, the slide c is caused to move with the table b through a spring coupling m, and a rack e is moved with the slide through spring pawls f on the slide engaging teeth of the rack. When the reed is set, an adjustable stop l is moved to the left along a slot in the table a, and acts upon a lever i pivoted to the table b and connected to the rack, so that the rack is moved against the action of a spring h until a pointer g thereon comes opposite the mark on a scale on the table b corresponding to the beer width, and the stop l is then fixed. During the warping, the table b is returned to the left and the rack i is gradually released from the action of the stop l and returns to its initial position relative to the table b 'determined by a stop k (the pawls f permitting this relative movement) and then travels with the table b and slide c. Towards the end of the next setting movement of the table b, the stop l acts upon the lever i. and moves the rack relative to the table b, and the pawls fact to couple the slide c to the rack so that the action of the spring coupling m is overcome and the slide c is moved to the right relatively to the table b for a distance equal to the width of the beer, so that the reed is set automatically for the new beer. At the end of the warping operation, a sliding piece n is moved to disengage the pawls from the rack to enable the slide to be returned to its initial position on the table b.
