Title: Improvements appertaining to Weft Stop Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1913-10-14
Granted: 1914-10-14
Abstract: 23,160. Smith, A., and Shackleton, G. W. Oct. 14. Stop-motions, weft; dobbies.-In a loom which is provided with dobby mechanism having its pattern surface advanced for each alternate pick, and is arranged to run forwards for two revolutions after indication of weft failure, mechanism is provided to effect the reversal of the pattern surface for any pick and is so arranged that the loom will be stopped with the shed open for which indication of weft failure was made. A weft fork, such as 2a Fig. 1, is provided at each side of the loom, and when either fork is engaged by its weft hammer 3a, its holder is moved forwards against the action of a spring 4, and a finger 6a acts on a lever 7a to rock a shaft 8 which extends across the loom. A pin 9a, Fig. 6, on a lever 9 on this shaft acts on a lever 10 on a shaft 10a, so that the stopping-handle 12 is thrown out of its notch by means of a catch-piece 11 and the ordinary lever 11a. At the same time, the slotted lower end of a lever 13, Fig. 1, on the shaft 8 engages a catchpiece 15e on a rod 15 pivoted to a rod 14, which is thereby moved rearwards and places a catch 17c on a rod 17 into position to be engaged by the end 27d of a pivoted lever 27 when this lever is raised by a cam 27c on the crank-shaft B. When the rod 17 is raised, it acts through a lever 17b, Fig. 3, to rock a shaft 18, so that a pawl 20, suitably mounted on a lever 19 on the shaft, acts on a ratchet-wheel 20a on the shaft of the pattern barrel and moves the barrel in the reverse direction, a pin 21b on a lever 21a, operated from the shaft 18, raising the ordinary advancing-pawl 25 to permit of the reverse movement, which may take place either immediately after the pattern barrel has been advanced or one pick thereafter. When the weft hammer moves backwards, the shaft 8 is rocked back to its normal position, but the sbaft 10a remains in its displaced position, since the lever 11a holds the catch-piece 11 and the lever 10, and a spring 15d, Fig. 1, on a rod 15c connected to the rod 15, having been previously compressed by the raising of a lever 16 on the shaft 10a, then acts to raise the rod 15 and remove its catch-piece 15e from the path of the lower end of the lever 13, so that, during the next revolution, the pattern barrel is not reversed again.

Granted: 1915-08-12
Abstract: 18,658. Wade, H., [Gleason Works]. Aug. 13. Gear-cutting.-Bevel gears with curved teeth are generated by a rolling motion from an annular cutter. The cutter spindle is carried by a saddle 8, Figs. 1 and 2, vertically adjustable at 9 on a standard horizontally adjustable on a cradle 3 oscillatable on circular ways 4 as controlled by a worm-wheel segment 39. The blank carrier 92 is adjustable axially of the blank on a table 93 angularly adjustable about an axis 6<a> to withdraw the blank from the cutter during indexing. Spindles, mounting.-The cutter spindle is adjusted axially by a sleeve 35 threaded to engage a worm-wheel nut. Reversing-mechanism.-The segment 39 and the sleeve 91 connected to the blank spindle through the indexing - mechanism, are geared, by a train including change gearing, to a common shaft 42 driven from the main shaft 13 through a reversing-mechanism to provide the rolling motion. Change gearing 47, 48 transmits motion from the shaft 13 to a shaft 50, Figs. 10 and 11, having a gear 59 driving a gear 56 and a gear 58 engaging an idler driving a gear 55. The gears 55, 56, thus driven in opposite directions, are carried by sleeves loose on the shaft 51 and provided with lugs 70, Fig. 16, which transmit drive to the shaft 51 according to which of the pawls 53, 54, secured to a rock-shaft carried by a disk 52 is in action. A spring plunger 69 ensures the complete throw over of the rock-shaft under the action of rolls 72 which engage the tails of the pawls. There. is a roll for each pawl, and the rolls are carried by a slide normally held in an inoperative position, by a spring 83 and double-armed lever 85 engaging pins 87 on the slide but traversed when required by an arm 73 on a shaft 74 having an arm 77 controlled by cams 81, 82 on a shaft 65 driven through a train of gearing from the pinion 60. Driving machine spindle.-The cutter spindle is driven at 12 through the train of gearing shown in Fig. 1, and the shafts 21, 19, 17, Figs. 1 and 2, from the main shaft 13. Indexing.-The swinging of the table 93 to withdraw the blank from the cutter prior to indexing is effected by a cam on the shaft 65. A further cam 163, Fig. 11, trips a rock-shaft 161, linked through mechanism shown in part at 158, Fig. 2, and 146, Figs. 21 and 22, to a detent 143, to release a pawl 139 and establish driving connexion between a ratchet-wheel 138 and a disk 131, loose and fast respectively on the shaft 125 change geared to the index worm 130, Fig. 2. The wheel 138 is connected to a wormwheel 124 driven by the train 120, 119, 94 from the shaft 19. The shaft 125 is connected by back - gearing 134 to a half-speed disk 132, Fig. 22, which engages a projection on the detent 143 holding it inoperative until the return of a flat 135 on the disk 132 thus permitting the shaft 125 to make two complete revolutions. Further movement of the shaft is prevented by the simultaneous engagement of the detent with the pawl and of a pin 136 with a spring stop 137.
