Year: 1862

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Edward Hyde Andrew, of Audenshaw, in the
County of Lancaster, Machinist, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
LOOMS FOR WEAVING."
Sealed the 3rd October 1862, and dated the 9th April 1862.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Edward Hyde
Andrew at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 9th April 1862.
I, JAMES EDWARD HYDE ANDREW, of Audenshaw, in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN LOOMS FOR WEAVING," to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of improvements on several parts of an Invention as
specified in a Patent granted to me in conjunction with one Joseph Henry,
since deceased. The said Patent is dated the Twenty-fourth day of
August 1859, Number 1933, and also to other general improvements in the
loom, and relates,―
First, to an improved picking motion, by applying to the improved hori-
zontal picking motion a metal picking sword instead of the ordinary picking
stick, to which is forged or otherwise connected a socket or picker containing
leather or other suitable substance; and the said picking sword or picker
may be cranked to work in the drop box of a loom. I obtain a horizontal
movement to the picker by placing a bowl at the bottom of the picking stick,
which bowl rests in a curved slot, or on a curve, which is supported by a
bearing working or oscillating on a pin or stud placed above the said curve
and bowl; the pin or stud being secured to the rocking tree, lathe sword,

page_text: or other convenient part of the loom.
Above the said stud or pin the
bracket, at the bottom of which is the curve, may be connected to the picking
stick or sword, so that as the picker advances or retires it will give a motion
to the curve, thereby raising or lowering the bowl, and consequently keeping
the picker in a horizontal line or nearly so. The bowl in the curve also works
up and down in vertical slides to maintain it in its position in the curve when
acted on by the curve and in operation. The curve, on or in which the bow!
rests, and consequently on which the picking stick rests, may have the
necessary movements given to it, as desired, from any other part of the loom
instead of the picking sword, or the curve bracket may be caused to operate
on the picking stick, and worked in any convenient manner. A similar
parallel may be obtained by supporting the picking stick bracket on a lever,
some part of the said lever being connected to some of the working parts
of the loom, so that it may be raised or lowered as desired, in order to give
the requisite parallel motion to the picker.
Secondly, to an improved pick-and-pick motion, by which regular and
irregular picking can be obtained by causing the swell of the shuttle box
to operate upon a lever, to which is attached .a tail or tongue, either
connected or moving with the lathe sword in such a manner that when
a shuttle is in the box the swell will act on the lever, and bring the tail or
tongue in such a position that at the time the lathe is retiring and the shed
opening it will come in contact with a tongue or projection on the picking
shaft, connected directly or indirectly with the picking stick, and thus the
shuttle will be propelled from the side in which it is contained at the time,
the drop boxes containing the shuttles being brought into position in the usual
The connection with the swell may also be caused to operate on
any other desired part of the loom.
manner.
Thirdly, to improvements connected with leading or pattern chains for
regulating the movements of the drop box, and giving a sliding movement to
or reversing the motion of the pattern cylinder or barrel, or parts thereof, as
mentioned in Numbers 5 and 8, or other requirements in fancy weaving. The
chain consists of links, having at any desired position a projection which
operates upon an indented wheel of any suitable number of spaces, so that
when a projection or tooth on the chain acts upon one of the projections or
teeth of the wheel, a single or compound cam is partly turned; or a barrel,
over which travels a small cam chain of any desired number of heights or
elevations, operated upon by the same toothed chain, may be any desired
number of wheels, and, consequently, cams also; each cam or cam chain
raises a lever which is connected either directly or indirectly with the drop

page_text: box, or to the lever for operating upon the pattern cylinder, or other required
movement. The form of the chain may be reversed by employing holes instead
of projections, and allowing pointers or pins to fall into them in the usual
manner, but in both cases it is so arranged that each row of each link will
give one, two, four, six, or more picks. The holes or projections are employed
in rows of two or more, and give the indented wheel or pointers a lateral
motion for the purpose of acting upon the pattern cylinder, or other apparatus,
and thus varying the pattern according to the row of pegs that the wheel is
then brought into action with. To give this lateral motion to the indented
wheel, or the barrel containing the chain, I place on one edge of the said chain
one or more pegs in its centre, so that this peg will come in contact with a
projection of a similar wheel to the one before mentioned, and on the same
shaft. To this second wheel is attached a bevil wheel working in connection
with another bevil wheel, and fast to the last is a barrel, over which works a
cam chain, on which rests a bowl attached to a lever or other suitable con-
trivance with the first mentioned wheel or to the chain barrel, so that when
the peg moves the second wheel one notch the small cam chain will be moved
forward one link, and one of the risers or elevations of the cam chain will
come in contact with the bowl; the first wheel, or cam barrel, will then be
moved into such a position that the respective row of holes or pegs will be
brought into action according to the height of the riser which has acted on
the bowl.
Fourthly, to an improved mode of giving motion to the treddles which
work the hooks attached to the healds, and also in giving motion to the
treading apparatus. The bottom treddle is driven by a shaft placed under
the loom to the front of the heddles, which shaft may be worked by a wheel
similar to the crank shaft wheel gearing into the tappet shaft wheel, so that
this treading apparatus shaft is caused to make one revolution for every
pick. On the opposite end of this shaft is a small crank on which a bowl
works in a curved slot in the treddle, so that as the crank revolves the treddle
will be raised and depressed, the curved slot giving the necessary dwell for
the passage of the shuttle. The said crank may be lengthened or shortened
at pleasure, it being bolted in an adjustable slot at right angles with the shaft,
the end of the crank after passing through the slot in the treddle causes a pin
wheel on the other side to revolve by acting against a pin attached to the pin
wheel, and thus at every movement passes the star wheel on one division and
consequently the cylinder in the ordinary manner. The cylinder may also be
moved onwards by a catch worked from one of the treddles and acting on a
atchet wheel fast to the cylinder shaft. The bottom treddle can also be

page_text: driven by a lever or other connection from the first-motion shaft when no
tappet shaft is employed. I work the top treddle from the bottom one by a
connection from the bottom treddle containing a bowl bolted in a slot, and
working in contact with a connection from the top, so that when the loom
treddle is depressed the higher one is allowed to rise, and when the bottom
one is raised by means of this connection the top one is depressed, and thus
closes the shed, or a bracket can be introduced underneath a cam on the
driving shaft of the treading apparatus, having a connection with the top
tredile.
Fifthly, to improvements in the pattern cylinder, making it telescopic and
in segments, so that any segment of the cylinder or barrel, the pegs of which
are to act on one, two, three, four, or more hooks, and consequently on a
corresponding number of heddles can be shunted to receive a lateral motion,
and also a reversed motion independent and without interfering with the
arrangement or position of the other segments containing the pegs of the
remainder of the cylinder.
Sixthly, to improvements in hooks and grids in fancy or jacquard machines.
The pegs, whether placed on the cylinder or on lags, or other apparatus
working on the cylinder, act on the lower part of the hooks; the said hooks
or jacks are metallic, either of cast or wrought iron, and are of such a form
at the part at which the peg acts that when the shed is open, and consequently
a portion up and down, there will be a clear passage for the pegs across; the
connection to the hooks from the heddles is at or near the top, a little from
the centre of the book towards the cylinder, that when the hook is depressed
by the top treddle it will be inclined backwards towards the barrel, the part of
the book on which the top treddle acts is on a level and as nearly as possible
to the point of connection of the hook to the heddles. The grid or guide of
the book is nearly of the form of the letter T placed at the part of the hook
on which the pegs act, and a projection of each division forming the grid to
come as nearly as convenient to the pegs, an ordinary flat grid may be placed
higher up underneath the top treddle.
Seventhly, to a guard or bar placed in such a position that when the hooks
shall have been placed on or under the treddle, and as soon as the treddle
commences to move, the hooks that are on shall be brought past or near to
the guard or bar; and thus be prevented from coming off the treddle until
such time as they shall have been brought again to their proper position to
again be operated upon by the pegs or cards; the guard or bar may be inclined
or bevilled in such a manner that if any of the hooks are not properly placed
on or under the treddle upon coming in contact with the bar will be pressed

page_text: on and prevented from coming off until the proper time, and thus prevent
what are termed snatches. This improvement is applicable to jacquard and
other fancy looms, the grid described in the latter part of No. 6 improve-
ment may also be made to answer the purpose of this guard to the hooks.
Eighthly, to applying a reversing motion to the pattern cylinder or barrel,
which consists of a double catch box placed between two bevil wheels, fast to
each of which is a catch box similar to or so that the double box between the.
two may work or gear into the one or the other alternately as desired, or be out
of both, so that the same pegs may act as long as required. The double catch
being connected to the cylinder with a key or other suitable apparatus, the
two bevils running in reverse directions are connected by an intermediate
bevil; one of the said bevils is driven by a pin wheel and star wheel from the
small crank working in the treddle slot from the rotary shaft before named.
The reversed motion may be obtained by employing two ratchet wheels and
two catches, so that one catch will work the barrel one way and the other the
opposite way, each catch being placed in and our of gear alternately as desired,
or both may be out of action, and thus the same lot of pegs will be allowed
to act to any required number of picks.
Ninthly, to another mode of shunting or reversing the pattern cylinder by
placing at or near the cylinder shaft the small cam chain described in the third
part of these improvements, placed either vertically or horizontally, which
may be acted upon by the lags, the leading chain, or other suitable means.
Tenthly, to an improved box or internal tappet for weaving plain cloths,
which I place on the outside of the loom, with one treddle which is connected.
with a lever or jack underneath the loom and under the centre of the healds..
This lever is connected to one of the heddles direct and by another cord
underneath a pulley, and thus to the other heddle, so that when one moves
up the other goes down simultaneously and causes the treddles to work
steadily. Twills and similar goods may be worked in the same manner.

page_text: WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Ninth day of April; in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, in the twenty-fifth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said James Edward Hyde Andrew, Her special licence, that I, the said
James Edward Hyde Andrew, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others as I, the said James Edward Hyde Andrew, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and
Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN LOOMS FOR WEAVING," upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said James Edward Hyde
Andrew, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said James Edward Hyde Andrew, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement thereof, reference being had to the accompanying
two Sheets of Drawings, and to the figures and letters marked thereon (that
is to say):
This Invention consists of various improvements in looms in general, and
especially on several parts of an Invention as specified in a Patent granted to
me in conjunction with one Joseph Henry (since deceased), which Patent is
dated the Twenty-fourth day of August, One thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine, No. 1933.
This Invention consists, first, in applying to the improved horizontal picking
motion a metal picking sword instead of the ordinary picking stick, to which
is forged or otherwise connected a socket containing a picker of leather or
other suitable substance, and the said picking sword may be cranked to work
in the drop box of a loom.
Secondly, in improvements connected with leading or pattern chains for
regulating the movements of the drop box, and giving a sliding movement to
or reversing the motion of the pattern cylinder or barrel, or parts thereof, or
for other requirements in fancy weaving.

page_text: In Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, representing front and end views of part of a loom
a is the pattern chain, also shewn in Figs. 12, 14, and 15, which consists of a
series of links composed of any desired number of adjustable chains a, which
can be changed and arranged according to the pattern, the links having
teeth or projections c at any required place; the said chain a operates upon
any number of indented wheels d, shewn enlarged in Figs. 11 and 12, cach
wheel, when more than one are used, partly turning by means of telescope
tubes a corresponding number of cams e, Figs. 2, 11, and 12, or lifters f, in
Figs. 3, 4, and 16, which cams e or lifters f, by means of treddles g and
levers h, act upon iny telescopic pattern cylinder, which will be hereafter
explained, or for any other purpose connected with fancy weaving. Or instead
of the cams e and lifters f, I employ a barrel, over which travels a small cam
chain having any desired number of heights or elevations to govern the.
position or action of the pattern cylinder, or other desired purpose. Each
lifter f, Figs. 3, 4, and 16, is so formed, that when it has been acted upon by.
the toothed pattern chain a, it, and consequently the lever g, Fig. 4, shall
return to their original positions, either by their own weight, or by means of a
spring at the time the toothed chain a makes another movement, and thus be.
ready for the next action of the toothed chain a; instead of the lever and bowl
acting on the top of the lifter f or the cams e, and raised vertically, they may
act on the edge, and thus be pressed sideways, or as required. I also operate.
upon each of the lifters f by means of a tooth or peg i upon a boss j, as shewn
at Figs. 3 and 17, the plain part of the boss j allowing the lifter f to return to.
its original position when the tooth c on the pattern chain has passed by; or a
lever k, Fig. 14, with a peg 1, or other form of projection, may be acted upon.
by the chain a in a similar manner to that just described, having its fulcrum.
either on the shaft m, Figs. 3, 11, and 14, or at n, Fig. 14. The form of
the chain a may be reversed by employing holes instead of projections, and
allowing pointers or pins to fall into them in the usual manner, but in both
cases it is so arranged that each row of each link will give one, two, four, six,
or more picks. The holes or projections are employed in rows of two or more,.
and give the indented wheels d, Figs. 2, 11, and 12, the toothed or pegged.
boss j, Figs. 3 and 17, the levers k, Fig. 14, or pointers, or similar mechanism:
a lateral motion, for the purpose of acting on the pattern cylinder, or other
apparatus, and thus varying the pattern according to the row of holes or teeth
that the wheels d, toothed boss j, or pointers are brought into action with.
To give this lateral motion to the indented wheel d, toothed boss j, or the
barrel containing the chain, I place on one edge of the said chain a on its
entire length one or more pegs, similar to the one at c in Fig. 15, so that they.

page_text: will come in contact with a projection wheel o, Figs. 2, 3, and 11, similar to
the wheel & working on the same shaft m. To this second wheel o is attached
a bevil wheel p, Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 11, working in connection with another
bevil wheel q, Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, and 12, and fast to the wheel is a
barrel r, over which works a cam chain s, on which rests a bowl t attached to
a lever w, or other suitable contrivance, the opposite end v of the lever u being
attached to the first-mentioned wheel d, toothed boss j, lever k, or to the chain
barrel, so that when the tooth c moves the second wheel'o one notch, the small
cam chains will be moved forward one link, and one of the risers or elevations
of the said cam chain will come in contact with the bowl t; the first wheel d,
toothed boss j, or cam barrel will then be moved into such a position that the
respective row of holes or teeth c will be brought into action according to the
height of the riser which has acted on the bowl t.
The next part of my Invention consists in an improved mode of giving
motion to the treddles, Figs. 1, 2, 9, and 10, which work the hooks w and x,
Figs. 5 and 6, attached directly or indirectly to the healds, and also in giving
motion to the shedding apparatus. The bottom treddle y is driven by a
shaft, Figs. 9 and 10, placed under the loom at the front of the heddles,
which shaft may be worked by a wheel similar to the crank shaft wheel
gearing into the tappet shaft wheel, so that this shedding apparatus shaft z is
caused to make one revolution for every pick. On this shaft z is a small
crank a', on which a bowl works in a curved slot c' in the treddle y, so that
as the crank a' revolves, the treddle y will be raised and depressed, the curved
slot c' giving the necessary dwell for the passage of the shuttle. The said
crank a¹ may be lengthened or shortened at pleasure, it being bolted in an
adjustable bracket d', Figs. 9 and 10, at right angles with the shaft z; the
end of the crank a', after passing through the slot c' in the treddle y, causes a
pin wheel e' on the other side of the treddle y to revolve by acting against a
pin or peg attached to the pin wheel e', and thus at every revolution of the
shaft passes the star wheel f' on one division, and consequently the cylinder
g in the ordinary manner. The cylinder g' may also be moved onwards by a
catch worked from one of the treddles, and acting on a ratchet wheel con-
nected to the cylinder shaft. The bottom treddle y can also be driven by a
lever or other connection from the first-motion shaft when no tappet shaft is
employed. I work the top treddle h', Figs. 1, 2, and 9, from the bottom one
by a connection from the bottom treddle y, containing a bowl j¹ adjustable
in a slot, and working in contact with a connection from the top treddle h',
so that when the lower treddle y is depressed the bigher one his allowed to
rise, and when the bottom one is raised by means of the connection between.

page_text: the two the top one is depressed, and thus closes the shed; or a bracket can
be introduced underneath a cam on the driving shaft of the treading apparatus,
having a connection with the top treddle, or toothed jacks may be employed
for the same purpose. The part of the treddles which act on the books may
be hinged or jointed, the hinged parts m', Fig. 6, being so held in their
position by a spring, which will allow it to yield give way if by accident the
hook w comes in contact with the treddle at the wrong time, the hinged part
being stayed on one side by nogs or projections n', cast or secured to the
treddle, that when acting on the hooks presses against the nogs n', and thus
acts as if solid.
or
My Invention next relates to improvements in the pattern cylinder g',
making it telescopic, and in segments o¹, Figs. 1 and 10, so that any segment
o of the cylinder or barrel g', the pegs of which are to act on one, two, three,
four, or more hooks, and consequently on a corresponding number of heddles,
can be shunted, so as to receive a lateral motion either way, and also capable
of receiving a reversed motion in their revolution independent of each other
without interfering with the arrangement or position of the other segments
containing the pegs of the remainder of the cylinder.
I will now proceed to describe my improvements in hooks, shewn in Figs. 5
and 6, used in fancy or jacquard machines. The pegs, whether placed on the
cylinder g', on lags, or other apparatus working on the cylinder, act on the
lower part of the hooks at p'; the said hooks or jacks are metallic, either of
cast or wrought iron, and are of. such a form at the part p¹ at which the peg
acts, that when the shed is open, and consequently a portion up and down,
there will be a clear passage across for the pegs of the pattern cylinder g';
the connection to the hooks from the heddles is at or near the top q', a little
from the centre of the hook towards the cylinder g', so that when the hook is
depressed by the top treddle it will be inclined backwards towards the
barrel g; the part of the hook on which the top treddle h¹ acts is on a level,
and as nearly as possible to the point of connection of the hook at q' to the
heddles. When the shedding machine is at the outside or on the top of the
loom, the hooks are similar in form to the one shewn in Fig. 5; the part t¹ at
the bottom may be connected to the ordinary jacks or levers, and the slot q¹
at the top is connected in like manner over the loom to the tops of the
heddles; is the top treddle working on the hook at r¹, and connected by a
rod u to another treddle v lower down, which treddles move at the same
time and in conjunction with each other, the middle treddle v operating upon
the hook at w when the middle treddle is rising, and the hook is back
toward the cylinder (that is when there is a space or no peg to act upon it),

page_text: the treddle coming in contact with the projection w₁ will raise the hook,
and consequently depress the heddle to which it is attached; the treddle h¹
brings down the hooks to close the shed, and then the cylinder g¹ makes
another movement. If the hook is pushed forward by one of the pattern pegs,
the projection at a comes under the bottom treddle y, so that when this
treddle moves down it will depress the hook, and thus draw up the corre-
sponding heddle. As this treddle again rises, it will also bring up the hook
to its original position by means of the projection y. The treddles may work
in slides similar to the ordinary grif if desired, instead of the centres, shewn
in Fig. 9.
Another part of my Invention relates to a guard or bar e', shown in Fig. 5,
placed in such a position that when the hooks shall have been placed on or
under the treddle y, and the tredille commences to move, the hooks that are
on or under shall be brought past or near to the guard or bar y, and thus be
prevented from coming off the treddie until such time as they shall have been
brought again to their proper position to again be operated upon by the pegs
or cards; the guard or bar ¹ may be inclined or bevilled in such a manner
that if any of the hooks are not properly placed on or under the treddle y
upon coming in contact with the bar y will be pressed on and prevented from
coming off until the proper time, and thus prevent what are termed snatches.
This improvement is applicable to jacquard and other fancy looms.
The next part of my Invention consists in applying a reversing motion to
the pattern cylinder or barrel, shewn in Figs. 1 and 10, whether in segments
or working with ordinary lags or catches, and consists of a double catch
box a connected to the cylinder g', with a key or other suitable apparatus;
the two bevils 2 and c running in reverse directions are connected by an
intermediate bevil d²; one of the said bevils is driven by a pin wheel e and
star wheel f¹ from the small crank a working in the treddle slot c¹ from the
rotary shaft y before named. The double catch box a² is placed between the
two bevil wheels b and c, fast to each of which are catch boxes e and f
similar to or so that the double box a² between the two may work or gear into
the one and the other alternately as desired, or be out of both, so that the
cylinder will not be caused to revolve until the double box a is brought into
gear with one or other of the catch boxes on the bevil wheels band . The
reversed motion may be obtained by employing two ratchet wheels and two
catches, so that one catch will work the barrel one way and the other the
opposite way, each catch being placed in and out of gear alternately as desired,
or both may be out of action, and thus the cylinder will remain stationary to
any required number of picks.

page_text: Another mode of shunting or reversing the pattern cylinder is by placing at
or near the cylinder shaft the small cam chains, Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, and 12,
described in the third part of these improvements, either vertically or
horizontally, which may be acted upon directly or indirectly by the lags, the
leading chain, or other suitable means.
The last part of this Invention relates to an improved box or internal
tappet, shewn at n², Figs. 7 and 8, for weaving plain cloths, which I place on
the outside of the loom with one treddle 9, the bowl o of which works in the
groove of the tappet, which treddle g is connected with a lever or jack h
underneath the loom, and near the centre of the healds. The jack at 2 is con-
nected to one of the heddles je direct, and by another cord underneath a
pulley to the other heddle m², so that when one moves up the other goes
goes down simultaneously, and causes the heddles to work steadily. Twills
and similar goods may be worked in a like manner. These levers may be
connected to operate on the picking motion as well as the treddles.
Having now described the nature and particulars of my said Invention,
I desire it to be distinctly understood that I claim in looms for weaving,-
First, the metal picking sword with picker attached.
Secondly, the application and arrangement for bringing the wheels, levers,
and toothed boss into action or contact with the different parts of the pattern
chain to weave long or varied patterns of cloth by indicating for shuttle
motions, picking motions, shedding apparatus, or other movements.
Thirdly, the telescopic segment barrel, indented wheels, lifters, and the
parts connected therewith, applicable for weaving dyapers and other division
patterns.
Fourthly, the modes of working the treddles in fancy looms, and the
application of a hinged bar and spring for preventing injury to the hooks
and pegs.
Fifthly, the improved hooks or jacks for working the heddles.
Sixthly, the placing a guard or bar near the hook to make its action more
positive than hitherto.
Seventhly, the improved arrangement for reversing and shunting the pattern
cylinder laterally to and fro, for the purpose of obtaining a diversity of pattern.
Eighthly, the improved appliance for weaving plain and twilled cloth, and
the application of the same to the picking motion of looms to dispense with
the ordinary tappet shafts.
Ninthly, the application, separately or conjointly, of the cams, levers, and
lifters for actuating the shuttle, picking barrel, and other motions.
And, tenthly, the application of the small cam chain at or near the lagged

page_text: barrel shaft, for shunting the barrel laterally, or to reverse its motion when
indicated by a peg or projection on the barrel, or on one of the lags, as all
such improvements are herein described and illustrated in the accompanying
two Sheets of Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Edward Hyde Andrew, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eighth day of October, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two.
