PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brake Appliances for Warp Beaming Frames.
I, WILLIAM BOLTON STANWORTH of 35, Howsing Street, Burnley, in the
County of Lancaster, Beamer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows
:-
This invention relates to brake appliances for warp beaming frames, whereby
the brake is automatically, and in a peculiar and novel manner applied when the
frame is stopped, and is self-relieved when the frame is set in motion.
To accomplish this object, I attach to the balancing or heavy weighted lever of
the foot-board, a vertical arm or rod, carrying a stud, bowl, or projection at its
extremity. Immediately over this, I mount a balance lever, pivotted to the frame,
and attached at one end to a band brake, or other brake appliance, which grips or
comes in contact (when required) with the periphery of the brake wheel. On the
opposite side of the pivotted balance lever I loosely mount on a stud an inclined
projecting finger, whose free end rests against a stud or flange on the said balance
lever.
When the beaming frame is stopped, and the balancing or weighted lever
rises in the usual manner, the vertical rod is thereby caused to ascend, and the
projection or stud at its extremity mounts the inclined finger on the said balance
lever attached to the brake.
By this means the said lever is depressed at one end, whilst its other end
attached to the brake is raised, and the brake is consequently applied.
When the frame is set on, the projecting stud on the vertical arm or rod skips
the inclined finger, and is in readiness, and in position to again apply the brake on
the stoppage of the frame.
Thus the brake is automatically applied and self-relieved in a simple and efficient
manner, and since the inclined finger is loosely mounted, the projecting stud on the
vertical rod may on the stoppage of the frame raise it sufficiently to allow it
to slip under the projecting stud when the action is as previously described.
The stud on which the inclined finger is mounted, or that against which it
bears, may be adjustable in a slot, so that any degree of brake pressure may be
obtained.

Improvements in Brake Appliances for Warp Beaming Frames.
1, WILLIAM BOLTON STANWORTH of 35, Howsing Street, Burnley, in the
County of Lancaster, Beamer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to brake appliances for warp beaming frames, whereby
the brake is automatically and in a peculiar and novel manner applied when the
frame is stopped, and is self-relieved when the frame is set in motion.
To accomplish this object, I attach to the balancing or beavy weighted lever of

extremity. Immediately over this, I mount a lever, pivotted to the frame, and
attached at one end to a band brake, or other brake appliance, which grips or
comes in contact (when required) with the periphery of the brake wheel.
On the opposite side of the pivotted lever, I loosely mount on a stud an inclined
projecting finger, whose free end rests against a stud or flange on the said lever.
When the beaming frame is stopped, and the balancing or weighted lever rises
in the usual manner, the vertical rod is thereby caused to ascend, and the pro-
jection or stud at its extremity mounts the inclined finger on the said lever attached
to the brake.
By this means, the said lever is depressed at one end, whilst its other end
attached to the brake is raised, and the brake is consequently applied.
When the frame is set in motion, the projecting stud on the vertical arm or rod
skips the inclined finger, and is in readiness and in position to again apply the
brake on the stoppage of the frame.
Thus the brake automatically applied and self-relieved in a simple and effective
manner, and since the inclined finger is loosely mounted, the projecting stud on the
vertical rod may on the stoppage of the frame raise it sufficiently to allow it to
slip under the projecting stud, when the action is as previously described. The
stud on which the inclined finger is mounted, or that against which it bears,
may be adjustable in a slot, so that any degree of brake pressure may be
obtained.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a detached
front view of a beaming frame constructed in accordance with my invention.
A is the vertical rod, fixed by adjusting quadrant B to the balancing or weighted
lever C of the footboard D, or to the shaft E, on which the said lever is mounted.
The vertical rod A is shewn as adjustably attached to quadrant B by means of
bolts FG and slot H, so that the degree of brake pressure and the time of applying
the same may be regulated.
At one
Mounted over the vertical rod and pivotted on a stud J is lever K.
end of this lever is loosely mounted inclined finger or catch piece or the like L,
bearing upon cast flange M.
For the purpose of obtaining increased brake power, instead of attaching the
band brake direct to the other extremity of lever K as described in my Provisional
Specification, I preferably form in this end of the lever a slot M³, in which I
secure by means of a nut, the projection or stud N (see Fig. 2). Resting on the
said projection N is arm O, which is mounted on stud P, carried by a bracket
or otherwise secured to the frame of the machine. The said arm is formed with a
cast lug P, to which is connected link R, attached at its other end to the band
brake S, which embraces the brake wheel, and whose other end is fixed to
bracket U.
When the machine is set in motion, and the beamer depresses the footboard, the
stud bowl, or projection T carried by the vertical arm A slips under the inclined
finger or catch piece L, and is in readiness and in position to apply the brake on
the stoppage of the machine.
When the machine stops, the balancing or weighted lever C of the footboard
falls, and brings with it the vertical rod A. With this motion, the stud, bowl or
projection T fixed to the latter mounts the inclined finger or catch piece L, and
depresses one end of lever K, the other end of which is thereby caused to rise,
and by means of projection N acts upon arm O, raising the same and applying the
brake.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved arrangement and construction of self-acting brake for beaming
_frames, substantially as described and illustrated.

page_text: 2. The combination of vertical rod A, stud T, lever K catch piece L, and band
or other brake S, arranged and acting substantially in the manner described and
set forth.
