Abstract: 23,106. Hollingworth, E. Oct. 6. Change-box motions.-In mechanism for stopping the shuttle-box motion cylinder shaft 1 on the pick in which weft-failure occurs, a vertical shaft 4 is made in two parts 4, 5, one part 4 being driven by bevel-gearing from the crankshaft and being provided with a clutch member 9, while the other part, which drives the shaft 1 by means of worm gearing 2, 3, is provided with a key-way to receive the key on a sliding clutch member 10. The member 10 is controlled by a clutch lever 13 on a spring-controlled shaft 14, which is connected to the shaft actuated by the weft-fork mechanism, or may be this shaft itself. The spring on the shaft 14 normally maintains the member 10 in gear with the member 9, but, when the weft-fork mechanism is operated, the members 9, 10 are unclutched and the shaft 1 is stopped. The clutch lever 13 may be operated to disengage the members 9, 10 by a handle 19. The upper and readily-removable part 4 of the shaft 4, 5 is normally supported by collars 12 provided with set-screws 12'. The mechanism is stated to be simpler than that described in Specification 12,738/03.
