Abstract: 13,742. Elmendorf, B., and Gabler, J. June 9. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically. - The weft ends wound on the ends of the cops, bobbins, or pirns, &c. 22, Figs. 2 and 4, are removed therefrom, before the cops are transferred, by a single drawing- off device comprising barbed hooks, bristles, or rubber strips &c. 21 fixed to the ends of two spring arms or nippers 20, Figs. 2, 4, and 10, on a member 19, which is pivoted at 18 to a slipper 14 provided with lugs engaging a slot 15 in a fixed frame 16, the slipper being pulled to the right after weft-failure has occurred by a chain 11 passing over pulleys 12, 13, and the chain being actuated by mechanism controlled by the weft-fork or weft-feeler. When the nippers 20 move to the right, projections 27 thereon turn a spring-controlled pivoted wedge 28, as shown in Fig. 10, the nippers being guided by the engagement of a rib 16<a> of the frame 16 with the groove or slot between the member 19 and an arm 24 thereon. When the member 19 has moved from the rib 16<a>, it is turned about the pivot 18 by a spring 23, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the nippers hold the thread from the transferred cop &c. substantially in alinement with the shuttle as the lay moves backwards and the shuttle is picked across the lay. By the engagement of the arm 24 with the end of the rib 16<a>, the member 19 is retained in its outward position until the lay returns and turns it about the part 18, whereupon the member and nippers are returned to the left by the spring 23. The nippers are opened during this movement by the engagement of the projections 27 with the wedge, after which they close upon the end of the cop next to be transferred. Bristles 31 or pins &c. attached to the wedge 28 serve to remove the weft ends from the drawing-off device. When the weft-fork or weft-feeler mechanism is actuated, a catch on a bell-crank lever is actuated by the weft-fork hammer, and, by means of a spring, raises an arm carrying a lever, to one end of which the chain 11 is connected. When the lay moves forwards, a pin thereon engages the other end of the lever and the chain 11 is thus actuated. The raised arm actuates bobbinchanging mechanism such as described in Specification 17,495/10.
