Recording by distinctive marks. -The .marking- point A of a timedistance or like recorder is carried by a spring-depressed arm a' pivoted at a to a frame A<2> pivoted at A<1>. The frame is reciprocated against the action of a spring C<2> by cams C<1> on a shaft C driven by a vehicle &c. The spring C<2> is secured to a pin carried by a bolt D sliding on a guide D<1>, a spring D<2> serving to force it against the frame A<2> when the pin D<3> is released by a snail cam G driven by worm gearing from the shaft C. The recordstrip is thus marked at short intervals by the cam C' and at longer intervals by the cam G. The record - strip passes over a clock - driven drum E and is wound by friction on to a spring- pressed roller. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, the pencil is forced on to the paper by a spring C<2> through a lever A<7>, and the shaft C is bevelled to engage with a cam part A<6> on the lever A<4>. The extra markings are made by a pin G<1> on a worm-wheel F<1> driven by a worm on the shaft C. The record - strip may be mounted on the drum which may be given a spiral movement or the pen arm may be moved relatively to the drum. A disk may be sub stituted for the drum or the travelling strip, and the device may be driven by adjustable friction gearing contained in the casing.

Granted: 1910-08-22
Abstract: 19,236. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Aug. 21. Weft-replenishing mechanism. - In looms having change - boxes at one end, there is an endless - chain magazine at the other end comprising bobbin or like cases 21, Fig. 2, connected by links carrying rolls 20, each case containing a number of bobbins &c. w i t h differentlycoloured weft corresponding to the various colours of weft in the shuttles in the change-boxes. The rolls 20 pass round the lower curved portion 24<2> of a guide - frame 24, which is spring- pressed outwards from, and is guided by, extensions 23<2> of a swinging frame 23 connected to the shuttle-box operating-lever through connexions including a spring-actuated rod 27 and a chain 29 passing over a double guide-sheave 30 on a lever 80. The frame is thus moved in unison with the change-boxes to place a bobbin of the required colour beneath the transferrer, which is operated by feeler-mechanism connected by a link .43, Figs. 2 and 8, to a lever 44 on a shaft carrying a lever or latch 48 provided with a pin 48<2>, which normally engages and locks a spring - actuated notched lever 49 secured to a shaft 50. After each operation of the transferrer mechanism, sprocketwheels provided with ribs or recesses to hold the rolls 20 are rotated to place the next bobbin case beneath the transferrer. When the feelermechanism is operated, the lever 49 is released and rocked by its spring, and a bunter 53 on the shaft 50 engages the rounded groove extension 54<1> of a latch 54 pivoted on the downwardly - extending arm 56<1> of the transferrer, which is thereby operated. The lever 48 is returned to normal position by the inclined or cam - shaped end of an arm on the loom side engaging a downwardly-extending boss on the lever 48. An extension on the transferrer arm operates a latch, and thus frees a lever 68, which is thereupon rocked by a link 67 and a camactuated lever, the lever 68 being linked to a lever 77 provided with a spring - pressed pin, which engages the ratchet face of one of the magazine sprocket-wheels. A roll on the lever 68 engages a cam-slot 80' in the lever 80, which is thereby rocked with its guide sheave 30 towards the front to slacken the chain 29 and allow the frame 23 to move to the front to clear the transferrer arm. Each bobbin case of pressed sheet-metal has a rear wall 21<a>, Fig. 9, provided with pockets or recesses 21<a1> for the bobbin heads,. and a front wall 21<b> provided with spring clips 21<c> to hold the bobbin tips. The weft ends pass round hooked extensions on the back wall 21<a> and round notches on two transverse plates 21<d>, or round hooked extensions on the front wall, and are clamped by coil springs 82.
