Patent GB-191223716-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Twist Lace Machines for Making Traverse Spotted Net.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: D04C5/04
Filed: 1912-10-17
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 23,716. Jardine, E., and Swindall, J. Oct. 17. Lace machines.-Relates to improvements in machines for making traverse spotted net of the kind in which the spots are formed by means of special points A from the bobbin threads. The rear portions of the points A are made troughshaped in cross-section so that they may overlap the ordinary points B if extra width is required. Plain net is made on the ends of the points A, which are similar to, and lie in the same line as the points B. When the points are thrust inwards, in making spots, the difference in level between the front and back parts of the points A is compensated by giving the point bar a modified motion. This is effected by moving, through the jacquard, a stepped slide interposed between the main pointbar cam-lever and an auxiliary lever. The change from making net to making spots also necessitates a change in the sbogging movement of the point bars. This is also controlled from the jacquard, which interposes a block between a cam-lever J<2> and an auxiliary lever J<4> during the formation of the net, and shifts the block during the formation of spots so as to operate the lever J<4> from a different cam. The lever J<4> thus transmits varying amounts of movement to the point bars through bell-crank levers J<6>, J<7>. The amount of thread drawn off those bobbins which are for the time being making the spots is adjustable by the operator without stopping the machine. This is effected by raising or lowering the slackening points K, which are suspended by links L<2>, L<4> from brackets K<2> on the point-bar shaft C. The links L' are connected to the brackets K<2> through eccentrics K<3> on an adjusting-shaft K<1>, which is turned by hand as required. The work roller can be operated either by a finetoothed ratchet-wheel M<2> or a coarser-toothed ratchet-wheel M' according to whether spots or plain net are being made. In order that one may remain stationary while the other is at work, the ratchet-wheels M', M<2> are connected by the central shaft N' and a sleeve N<5> respectively to the central memb rs N, N' of a differential gear box. The work roller is driven through a frame N<3> carrying epicyclic pinions N<2>, which gear with the pinions N, N' and with one another. Whichever ratchetwheel is at work, the frame N<3> is rotated to drive the work roller, by the pinions N, N<1>, one of which is stationary, the other being driven by the ratchet. The selvedges pass below spring plates 0, Fig. 26, which rise to relieve the tension when a thick part passes underneath.
