Patent GB-191014677-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Tying Weavers' Knots.
Inventor: BINGHAM THOMAS ERNEST
IPC: B65H69/04
Filed: 1910-06-17
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 14,677. Bingham, T. E. June 17. Tying or knotting.-An apparatus secured on the left-hand of the operator is used for tying weavers' knots. One thread-end s is laid across the apparatus, passing between a bill n and a clamping and cutting blade o. The thumb lever a is then depressed. A cam-groove d in a section c, operating through a rod q and a sleeve p, closes the blade o on to the corresponding part of the bill, thus securing the thread-end. The bill n is then rotated for one and a quarter revolutions so as to lay the thread on its periphery adjacent to the upstanding flange. Just before the completion of the first revolution, a slide t is moved to the left (by a cam-groove e and parts x, y), and a threadguide v moves the thread out of the path of the bill. A pair of hooks u on the slide t engage the thread which now lies across the centre of the bill, as shown in Fig. 6, and, on the return of the slide t, due to the tripping of the catch y, the hooks pull a loop of the thread through the bill. A cam i acting upon an arm 6 of one member of a pair of grippers 5 raises them through the loop of the other thread and a pin and slot device on the other member simultaneously opens them. The second thread is then placed in the grippers and the thumb-lever is raised. This closes and retracts the grippers which draw the second thread through the loop of the other thread as shown in Fig. 12. Further upward movement of the thumb-lever rotates the bill in the reverse direction and allows the operator to draw the threads out and to tighten the knot. The shaft carrying the bill is rotated by a pinion and internal teeth on the sector c. These teeth are situated at the middle of the sector so that during the first and last parts of its movement the bill shaft is not operated. At these times the bill shaft is locked by a flange on the sector which engages with a squared portion of the pinion boss.

Abstract: 24,610. Hart, L. F. Nov. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 3878/11.] Screwing die-heads; stocks and dies.-In a die stock of the form shown in the parent Specification in which the cam-plate is retained in position by a pivoted catch, the axis of the pivot is disposed transversely to the axis of the stock and in the plane of the cam-plate, and is retained in any position by a spring pin inclined at about 45 degrees. The pivoted catch 24 has a notch 29 engaged by the spring pin 25 to retain it in position to hold the cam-plate and a cam-surface 30 leading to the notch so that the catch snaps into position. A circular surface 31 forms a continuation of the cam-surface and leads to a projection 32 which engages the body of the stock when the catch is in the disengaged position. The axis of the catchadjusting screw 20 is disposed in the plane of the cam-plate, and the axis of the spring pin 25 passes slightly above this axis, so as to create a turning moment to retain the catch in engaged position. The adjusting-screw is mounted in brackets 14 and has a spring washer 23 at one end to keep bolt in position when the securing-bolt 22 is unscrewed. The brackets 14 are continued rearwards and have mounted between them a worm pinion 13 engaging worm teeth 12 on the rear cam-plate 7, which adjusts the position of the guide 6. The teeth of this worm pinion are knurled and are divided transversely whereby they can be rotated by the fingers and prevent lodgment of dirt in the wormwheel. One of the guides has a scale on it to indicate their adjusted position.
