Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 1433. Maxsted, C. H. Jan. 19. L o o m stop - motions ; float dete tors.-In looms for weaving tapes, ribbons, and other smallware, and particularly in the loom with verticallyactuated shuttles described in Specification No. 6454, A.D. 1903, means are provided for stopping the loom when a shuttle is obstructed in its shed. Each tape a passes through a slot in a dropper c, which is situated in a slotted tube d. The dropper has a part e with a gap f, into which a suitably-guided feeler-bar g normally enters, the bar being reciprocated by one or more eccentrics j. If the shuttle is obstructed in. the shed, the tape and the dropper are raised or lowered thereby, and the bar g strikes the part e and forces the dropper against a hinged bar p. The bar is moved back against the action of a spring, and a rod fixed to it allows a pivoted lever to fall and move a spring-pressed sliding-pin into the path of a projection on a reciprocating bar. The pin is pressed against a lever fixed to a sbaft, and moves it from a retaining-notch, thereby allowing the shaft to be rocked by a spring, so that the belt fork on the shaft effects the stoppage of the loom. Adjustable nuts d<1> on the tube d limit the movement of the tape. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the movement of the hinged bar may release a rod, which is then moved by a spring or load and releases a loaded brake lever. Further movement of the rod removes the driving-belt from the fast to the loose pulley.
