Title: Improvements in and relating to weaving looms
IPC: D03D29/00
Filed: 1961-08-01
Abstract: 1,000,294. Hand looms. L. FONTAINE. Aug. 1, 1961 [Aug. 1, 1960], No. 27892/61. Heading D1E. A hand loom has a movable carriage, connected to the shuttle, which selects and actuates individual healds in front of the moving shuttle and releases them behind the shuttle. Healds, (Figs. 11, 15, 20) Healds 6 are upwardly biased by springs 9 in blocks 8, have end projections 50 and a sliding sleeve 53 which allows insertion of warp. In Fig. 20 the healds have forked ends 86. Shredding, pattern mechanism. Three embodiments are described. Firstly Figs. 1, 3 and 7. Rails 11 on a stationary frame 12, 13 support the heald block 8 and the carriage. The carriage has two pivoted rollers 19, 20 each comprising a series of toothed discs, with teeth 43, racked to the blocks 8. The toothed discs are interchangeable and each depress selected healds 6 which are further separated by a separator 47. The roller 19 is used in one and the roller 20 in the other direction of travel. Secondly, Fig. 17, 18. Separators 69, on the carriage, each have a pivoted nose 63 with inclined planes 64, 66 and 65, 67. Each separator is preceded by a heald aligner 70 and as it progresses the planes 65, 67 act on the first heald projection 50 and move it downwardly, the nose 63 is then pivoted by the projection and moves under the next projection 50 to lift it, whereupon the nose pivots to move the next heald down and so on. Instead of the separators 69 moving the healds vertically they may move them sideways so that all the healds on one side of the separator may be depressed by a cam. Thirdly, Fig. 20. A carriage 80 has cams 83, selected by levers 84, which depress the healds as the carriage moves. The levers 84 may be selected at any position in the pick for patterning. Selvedge. Shaped fabrics: Fig. 22. Plates 102 may be placed over selected healds during weaving to render those healds inoperative to produce a shaped fabric. Shuttles. Fig. 1, 8 and 10. The shuttle 27 is driven from the carriage by a roller 25 coacting with rollers 26 on the carriage. The shuttle is guided by rollers 29 and has pointed ends 32 to further separate the warps. Tensioning warp, creels. The warps 3 from spools 2 are tensioned by a weighted roller 5.
Patent GB-943232-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the manufacture of bulky yarns
Inventor: EARNSHAW JOHN
IPC: D02G1/18
Filed: 1960-08-12
Abstract: In the preparation of bulky extensible yarn from a spun mixture or blend of synthetic stable fibres or continuous filaments to which a permanent crimp may be imparted e.g. thermoplastic fibres having little or no capacity to shrink, and up to 30% by weight of high shrinkage e.g. cold drawn, continuous filaments or staple fibres, the former fibre is crimped by shrinking the latter, the resultant random three dimensional crimp is set, and the inextensible nature of the bulked yarn is modified by stretching the yarn to displace the shrunk fibres relative to each other and to the crimped fibres.  When the stretching tension is released, the stretched yarn will contract owing to the presence of crimped fibre and thereafter the yarn will be extensible.  Shrinking may be induced by heating the yarn e.g. steaming in relaxed condition in an autoclave.  Crimp may be set by heat or chemical swelling and/or shrinking agents.  The yarn is stretched by passage over a braked roller and/or through the nip(s) of draft rollers; non-crimped fibres may be broken, by such stretching treatment especially if they are weakened by prior passage of the yarn between two rollers at least one of which is serrated, or directly by the latter rollers.  The non-crimped fibres are located centrally within the yarn without constituting a continuous core. The bulky yarn may have a stable length of from 70% of the original spun length and recoverable extension of up to 50%. Crimped fibre may be of cellulose ester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl or copolymers or mixtures thereof.  High shrinkage fibre may be of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride with acrylonitrile or mixtures thereof.  The yarn may be modified by addition of fibres e.g. of polyvinyl chloride of appropriate properties. Specification 869,636 and U.S.A. Specification 2,419,320 are referred to.

The spindle 14 is mounted in a bearing 15 in a fluid tight manner and is connected with the cavity 16 by a radial passage 17. The spindle axis and weirs are all at the same level. The spindle 14 may have a toothed wheel 21 for rotation by a motor One end of the cavity 16 is connected with the compartment 6 by an opening 18, and the other to the interior of the spindle by a passage 17.

When the opening 18 is immersed, Fig.4, the liquid in the cavity 16 flows into the compartment 6, over-compensating for the reduced displacement of the portion 19 then being immersed by one half of the volume of the chamber 16, This half also flows over the weir 10. Thus the volume of the cavity 10 is discharged on each revolution.
