Abstract: 958. Justice, P. M., [American Warp- Drawing Machine Co.]. Jan. 14. Loom healds, threading ; reeds, drawing warp threads through.-Relates to warp-drawing machines, and particularly to the machine described in Specification No. 4661, A.D. 1904. The carriage, carrying the warp-drawing needle which threads the harness eyes and reed, is provided with patterncontrolled rods 3, 4, 5, Fig. 4. The rods 3, 4 are for separating and feeding the warp threads and for opening the reed dents respectively ; when rendered activo by the pattern mechanism, they are given a full revolution for each operation of the drawing-needle by special star-wheel &c. gearing. The inner rods 5 control the harnesses, and when rendered active, intermittently receive a half-revolution, so that a harness eye or eyes may be placed in the path of the reciprocating drawing- needle. Each pair of harness-separator shafts 5 is provided with an oscillating shaft 57, 58, carrying centring devices or flippers, which are swung towards the active harness and engage the supports for the harness eyes and centre them squarely within the needle path. The flipper shafts have upright yoke-shaped fingers 60, engaging pins 61, Figs. 4 and 6, retained in slots 75, Fig. 8, in members 65 by straps. Members 66, Fig. 9, are connected by a special spring-clutch arrangement to the members 65, and the members 65, 66, which have upwardly-directed fingers, are operated by radial lugs or cams 67, 68 on the two nearest overhead separator shafts 5, wheu either of the latter is turned into active position. If both fingers 65, 66 are simultaneously operated, owing to erroneous setting of the pattern mechanism, the spring clutch yields and injury to the machine is prevented. Special change-speed gearing is also described for varying the speed of the feed-screw shaft that traverses the warp - drawing needle carriage across the machine.
