Improvements in Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines, and
Machines similar to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines,
and used in Dressing Warps in Sections.
I, JOHN HOWARD STOTT, of Wardleworth Iron Works, Whitworth Road, Roch-
dale, in the County of Lancaster, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in improvements in sectional warping and beaming
machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and
used in dressing warps in sections.
In the Specification filed in respect of my Application for Letters Patent No. 2850
dated February 22nd 1890 is described a sectional warping and beaming machine
in which the tension of the yarns or threads being wound into a section is caused
to control the extent to which a friction-bowl is pressed against a friction-disc
and so to regulate the speed at which the said yarns or threads are wound into the
section" and the objects of the improvements in which my present invention
consists are to simplify and improve the construction of sectional warping and
beaming machines of the kind described in the said specification and machines
similar to such sectional warping and beaming machines and used in dressing
warps and to render such machines more convenient and efficient in operation.
According to the first part of my invention I cause motion to be imparted to
a machine of the kind to which my invention relates by means of a pulley mounted
upon the shaft or axle of one of the rollers employed in such machine to draw off
the yarns or threads being operated upon from the bobbins, cops, sections or balls
or other bodies or forms upon or into which they may have previously been wound
and cause motion to be transmitted from such shaft or axle to the section-shaft
upon which the said yarns or threads operated upon are wound into "sections"
and to the other parts of the machine which require to receive motion otherwise
than from the yarns or threads being operated upon.
According to the second part of my invention I mount the pulley employed
according to the first part of my invention loose upon the shaft on which it is
mounted and provide the said shaft with a boss or collar fast upon it, and with
a plate or collar which is loose upon such shaft. The said plate or collar and pulley
are placed at opposite sides of the boss or collar aforesaid and are connected together
by means of bolts or set-screws and springs are arranged in combination with the
said bolts or set-screws so as to tend to press the pulley and plate or collar against
the said boss or collar and preferably so as to be capable of adjustment. A bush,
collar or flange or bushes, collars or flanges of brass or other suitable material
may, if considered desirable in any case be provided upon or used in conjunction
with the said pulley, plate or collar and boss or collar or any or either of them and
if in any case it should be considered desirable to do so I provide a spring or
springs tending to separate the pulley and plate or collar from each other or either
or both of them from the boss or collar aforesaid.

page_text: According to the third part of my invention I mount the friction-bowl employed
in a machine of the kind to which my invention relates upon a shaft and provide
a spring surrounding such shaft and tending to cause such friction-bowl to bear
less upon the friction-disc employed in conjunction with it and I provide a lever
which is mounted upon a stud or shaft supported by any suitable fixed part of the
machine and is made to surround the shaft on which the friction-bowl is mounted
and to bear against the said friction-bowl. A spring is provided to bear against
the said lever and to cause it to bear against the said friction-bowl and a rod
provided with screw-threads and a nut or with any other means by which the
extent to which the said spring bears against the said lever may be regulated is
employed. A shaft connected in any suitable manner to arms carrying the roller
over which the yarns or threads being operated upon are caused to pass and capable
of being oscillated in one direction or the other should the tension of the said yarns
or threads increase or decrease is provided with a projecting finger which is
arranged to move the said lever when the shaft is turned in one direction and so
cause the said friction-bowl aforesaid to bear less upon the friction-disc with which
it is used. In any case in which it may be preferable to so arrange it the projecting
finger aforesaid may be arranged so that when it acts upon the lever aforesaid it
shall cause the friction-bowl to bear more strongly against the friction-disc with
which it is used in which case the springs employed will be arranged so as to act
in the manner requisite.

According to the fourth part of my invention I employ in a machine of the kind
to which my invention relates as a means of transmitting motion to the section-
shaft upon which the yarns or threads operated upon are wound into sections'
and enabling the angular velocity of such section-shaft to be adjusted to the
speed at which yarns or threads are delivered by the rollers employed to draw
them from the bobbins, cops, sections or balls or other bodies or forms upon or
into which they may have previously been wound, shafts mounted with their axes
in one straight line and respectively arranged to receive motion and transmit
motion by means of gearing of any suitable kind and connected together by means
of a friction-driving device consisting essentially in a collar or boss fast upon one
shaft and placed between plates, discs or flanges connected by means of bolts or
set-screws arranged in conjunction with springs tending to press the dises or plates
or flanges against the boss or collar and preferably capable of adjustment. Other
springs may, if desirable be provided to tend to separate the plates, discs or flanges
from each other or either or both of them from the boss or collar aforesaid. A
bush, collar or flange or bushes, collars or flanges of brass or other suitable material
may, if considered desirable, in any case be provided upon or used in conjunction
with the said collar or boss, and plates, discs or flanges or any or either of them.
The said plates, discs or flanges may be supported in various ways so long as one
of them is capable of receiving rotary motion from the shaft aforesaid which is
intended to receive motion and the two plates, discs or flanges are made capable
of transmitting motion to the boss or collar aforesaid and so to the shaft aforesaid
intended to transmit motion. A roller against which the yarns or threads being
operated upon are caused to press is carried by arms capable of being oscillated
should any increase or decrease in the tension of such yarns or threads occur and
the said arms or one of them or the shaft or axle upon which they or one of them
are or is mounted is arranged to be capable of moving one of the plates, discs or
flanges or any other suitable device by which the friction between one or other
or both of the said plates, dises or flanges or the boss or collar aforesaid may be
varied so that the angular velocity of the section-shaft may be adjusted to the
speed at which yarns or threads are supplied to be wound into a "section."
According to the fifth part of my invention the shaft or axle of one of the
rollers employed in a machine of the kind to which my invention relates to draw
off the yarns or threads to be operated upon from the bobbins, cops, sections or
balls or other bodies or forms upon or into which they may have previously been
wound and preferably the shaft or axle to which rotary motion is transmitted for

page_text: the purpose of driving the machine in accordance with the first or the second part
of my invention is provided with a brake-drum mounted fast upon it and in con-
junction with such brake-drum is provided a brake which may be a brake-strap
or band or brake-block or brake of any other suitable kind and is so arranged that
when the belt imparting motion to the machine is moved in order that the
machine may be stopped the said brake shall be applied to the said brake-drum and
quickly stop the machine.
According to the sixth part of my invention in employing in conjunction with
a sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention relates
a stop-motion by which the said machine shall be stopped upon the breakage or
termination of any of the yarns or threads being operated upon, I cause motion to
be imparted to the "nip rollers of the stop-motion by means of a belt or gearing
or other means distinct from the belt by which motion is imparted to the sectional
warping or beaming machine and I provide means either such as are describeu
hereinafter in reference to the seventh part of my invention or shafts and gearing
and any other necessary or desirable appliances or any other suitable means by
which the handle or lever which moves the belt-fork which is provided to act upon
the belt employed to transmit motion to the sectional warping or beaming machine
shall be connected to and made capable of moving and of being moved by the bar
which is arranged to be moved by the spring or the stop-motion when the stop-
motion acts to bring about the stoppage of the sectional warping or beaming
machine. Apart from the method in which the rollers employed in it are driven
and the method in which it is connected to the belt-fork employed the stop-motion
herein before mentioned is similar to the stop-motions in ordinary use.
According to the seventh part of my invention in employing in conjunction
with a sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention
relates a stop-motion analogous to those in ordinary use and enabling the said
machine to be stopped upon the breakage or termination of any of the yarns or
threads being operated upon, I connect to the bar which is intended to be moved
by the spring of the stop-motion when such stop-motion acts to bring about the
stoppage of the machine with which it is used, "one arm of a bell-crank-lever or
other equivalent device the other arm of which is connected to a rod which is
connected either directly or by means of bell-crank-levers or other suitable means
to a hand-lever or handle arranged in a convenient position in the machine in con-
junction with which the said stop-motion is employed. The said hand-lever or
handle is connected by means of a bell-crank-lever or bell-crank-levers and links
and other connecting parts or any other suitable means to the belt-fork intended
to move the belt employed to transmit motion to the machine and if a brake is
employed the said hand-lever or handle is connected to the said brake either by
the same means or in part by the same means as to the belt-fork aforesaid or by
any other suitable means.
According to the eighth part of my invention I employ in conjunction with a
sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention relates
and a stop-motion analogous to those in ordinary use and enabling the said machine
to be stopped upon the breakage or termination of any of the yarns or threads
being operated upon three or more drop-rollers arranged to be capable of falling
and being raised in guides for a suitable distance and employed in conjunction
with rollers capable simply of revolution. The yarns or threads to be operated
upon are passed over the rollers which are simply capable of revolution and under
the drop-rollers and when the stop-motion brings about the stoppage of the
sectional warping or beaming machine or when such machine is otherwise stopped
the drop-rollers descend and preserve the requisite tension of the yarns or threads
being operated upon and during the ordinary working of the machine the said
Prop-rollers serve to equalise the tension of the yarns or threads being operated
apon.

Machines similar to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines,
and used in Dressing Warps in Sections.
I, JOHN HOWARD STOTT, of Wardleworth Iron Works, Whitworth Road, Roch-
dale, in the County of Lancaster, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention consists in improvements in sectional warping and beaming
machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and
used in dressing warps in sections.
In the Specification filed in respect of my Application for Letters Patent No. 2850
dated February 22nd 1890 is described a sectional warping and beaming machine
in which the tension of the yarns or threads being wound into a "section is caused
to control the extent to which a friction-bowl is pressed against a friction-disc
and so to regulate the speed at which the said yarns or threads are wound into the
22
section and the objects of the improvements in which my present invention
consists are to simplify and improve the construction of sectional warping and
beaming machines of the kind described in the said specification and machines
similar to such sectional warping and beaming machines and used in dressing
warps and to render such machines more convenient and efficient in operation.

According to the first part of my invention I cause motion to be imparted to
a machine of the kind to which my invention relates by means of a pulley mounted
upon the shaft or axle of one of the rollers employed in such machine to draw oft
the yarns or threads being operated upon from the bobbins, cops, sections or balls
or other bodies or forms upon or into which they may have previously been wound
and cause motion to be transmitted from such shaft or axle to the section-shaft
upon which the said yarns or threads operated upon are wound into "sections"
and to the other parts of the machine which require to receive motion otherwise
than from the yarns or threads being operated upon.
According to the second part of my invention I mount the pulley employed
according to the first part of my invention loose upon the shaft on which it is
mounted and provide the said shaft with a boss or collar fast upon it, and with
a plate or collar which is loose upon such shaft. The said plate or collar and pulley
are placed at opposite sides of the boss or collar aforesaid and are connected together
by means of bolts or set-screws and springs are arranged in combination with the
said bolts or set-screws so as to tend to press the pulley and plate or collar against
the said boss or collar and preferably so as to be capable of adjustment. A bush,
collar or flange or bushes, collars or flanges of brass or other suitable material
may, if considered desirable in any case be provided upon or used in conjunction
with the said pulley, plate or collar and boss or collar or any or either of them and
if in any case it should be considered desirable to do so I provide a spring or
springs tending to separate the pulley and plate or collar from each other or either
or both of them from the boss or collar aforesaid.
According to the third part of my invention I mount the friction-bowl employed
in a machine of the kind to which my invention relates upon a shaft and provide
a spring surrounding such shaft and tending to cause such friction-bowl to bear
less upon the friction-disc employed in conjunction with it and I provide a lever
which is mounted upon a stud or shaft supported by any suitable fixed part of the
machine and is made to partially or entirely surround the shaft on
which the friction-bowl is mounted and to bear against the said fric-

page_text: tion-bowl. A spring is provided to bear against the said lever and
to cause it to bear against the said friction-bowl and a rod provided
with screw-threads and a nut or with any other means by which the
extent to which the said spring bears against the said lever may be regulated is
employed. A shaft connected in any suitable manner to arms carrying the roller
over which the yarns or threads being operated upon are caused to pass and capable
of being oscillated in one direction or the other should the tension of the said yarns
or threads increase or decrease is provided with a projecting finger which is
arranged to move the said lever when the shaft is turned in one direction and so
cause the said friction-bowl aforesaid to bear less upon the friction-dise with which
it is used. In any case in which it may be preferable to so arrange it the projecting
finger aforesaid may be arranged so that when it acts upon the lever aforesaid it
shall cause the friction-bowl to bear more strongly against the friction-disc with
which it is used in which case the springs employed will be arranged so as to act
in the manner requisite.

According to the fourth part of my invention I employ in a machine of the kind
to which my invention relates as a means of transmitting motion to the section-
shaft upon which the yarns or threads operated upon are wound into "sections"
and enabling the angular velocity of such section-shaft to be adjusted to the

of a friction-driving device consisting essentially in a collar or boss fast upon one
shaft and placed between plates, discs or flanges connected by means of bolts or
set-screws arranged in conjunction with springs tending to press the discs or plates
or flanges against the boss or collar and preferably capable of adjustment. Other
springs may, if desirable be provided to tend to separate the plates, discs or flanges
from each other or either or both of them from the boss or collar aforesaid.
bush, collar or flange or bushes, collars or flanges of brass or other suitable material
may, if considered desirable, in any case be provided upon or used in conjunction
with the said collar or boss and plates, discs or flanges or any or either of them.
The said plates, discs or flanges may be supported in various ways so long as one
of them is capable of receiving rotary motion from the shaft aforesaid which is
intended to receive motion and the two plates, discs or flanges are made capable
of transmitting motion to the boss or collar aforesaid and so to the shaft aforesaid
intended to transmit motion. A roller against which the yarns or threads being
operated upon are caused to press is carried by arms capable of being oscillated
should any increase or decrease in the tension of such yarns or threads occur and
the said arms or one of them or the shaft or axle upon which they or one of them
are or is mounted is arranged to be capable of moving one of the plates, discs or
flanges or any other suitable device by which the friction between one or other
or both of the said plates, dises or flanges or the boss or collar aforesaid may be
varied so that the angular velocity of the section-shaft may be adjusted to the
speed at which yarns or threads are supplied to be wound into a "section."
According to the fifth part of my invention the shaft or axle of one of the
rollers employed in a machine of the kind to which my invention relates to draw
off the yarns or threads to be operated upon from the bobbins, cops, sections or
balls or other bodies or forms upon or into which they may have previously been
wound and preferably the shaft or axle to which rotary motion is transmitted for
the purpose of driving the machine in accordance with the first or the second part
of my invention is provided with a brake-drum mounted fast upon it and in con-
junction with such brake-drum is provided a brake which may be a brake-strap
or band or brake-block or brake of any other suitable kind and is so arranged that
when the belt imparting motion to the machine is moved in order that the

page_text: machine may be stopped the said brake shall be applied to the said brake-drum and
quickly stop the machine.
.
According to the sixth part of my invention in employing in conjunction with
a sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention relates
a stop-motion by which the said machine shall be stopped upon the breakage or
termination of any of the yarns or threads being operated upon, I cause motion to
be imparted to the "nip rollers" of the stop-motion by means of a belt or gearing.
or other means distinct from the belt by which motion is imparted to the sectional
warping or beaming machine and I provide means either such as are described
hereinafter in reference to the seventh part of my invention or shafts and gearing.
and any other necessary or desirable appliances or any other suitable means by
which the handle or lever which moves the belt-fork which is provided to act upon
the belt employed to transmit motion to the sectional warping or beaming machine
shall be connected to and made capable of moving and of being moved by the bar
which is arranged to be moved by the spring of the stop-motion when the stop-
motion acts to bring about the stoppage of the sectional warping or beaming
machine. Apart from the method in which the rollers employed in it are driven
and the method in which it is connected to the belt-fork employed the stop-motion
herein before mentioned is similar to the stop-motions in ordinary use.
According to the seventh part of my invention in employing in conjunction
with a sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention
relates a stop-motion analogous to those in ordinary use and enabling the said
machine to be stopped upon the breakage or termination of any of the yarns or
threads being operated upon, I connect to the bar which is intended to be moved
by the spring of the stop-motion when such stop-motion acts to bring about the
stoppage of the machine with which it is used, one arm of a bell-crank-lever or
other equivalent device the other arm of which is connected to a rod which is
connected either directly or by means of bell-crank-levers or other suitable means'
to a hand-lever or handle arranged in a convenient position in the machine in con-
junction with which the said stop-motion is employed. The said hand-lever or
handle is connected by means of a bell-crank-lever or bell-crank-levers and links
and other connecting parts or any other suitable means to the belt-fork intended
to move the belt employed to transmit motion to the machine and if a brake is
employed the said hand-lever or handle is connected to the said brake either by
the same means or in part by the same means as to the belt-fork aforesaid or by
any other suitable means.
. According to the eighth part of my invention I employ in conjunction with a
sectional warping or beaming machine of the kind to which my invention relates
and a stop-motion analogous to those in ordinary use and enabling the said machine
to be stopped upon the breakage or termination of any of the yarns or threads
being operated upon three or more drop-rollers arranged to be capable of falling
and being raised in guides for a suitable distance and employed in conjunction
with rollers capable simply of revolution. The yarns or threads to be operated
upon are passed over the rollers which are simply capable of revolution and under
the drop-rollers and when the stop-motion brings about the stoppage of the
sectional warping or beaming machine or when such machine is otherwise stopped
the drop-rollers descend and preserve the requisite tension of the yarns or threads
being operated upon and during the ordinary working of the machine the said
drop-rollers serve to equalise the tension of the yarns or threads being operated
upon.
In the accompanying drawings the first, second, third, fifth, .sixth, seventh and
eighth parts of my invention are illustrated as applied in combination in a
sectional warping and beaming machine and the stop-motion used therewith.
In the said drawings in all the figures of which the same letters of reference are
employed to indicate corresponding parts, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a
sectional warping and beaming machine, Fig. 2 is a partial front elevation of the
said machine, Fig. 3 is a front elevation partly in transverse section showing the

page_text: pulleys used in such machine 'and friction-driving mechanism used with such
pulleys, Fig. 4 is a side elevation partly in section illustrating the said friction-driving
mechanism, Fig. 5 is a front elevation and Fig. 6 a plan of part of the stop-motion used
with the said sectional warping and beaming machine and Fig. 7 is a side elevation
of some of the parts which are illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 and Fig. 8 is a plan of
certain levers and rods shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
In the sectional warping and beaming machine illustrated in the accompanying
Arawings, abe are the rollers which serve to draw the yarns or threads to be
operated upon from the bobbins, cops, sections or balls or other bodies or forms upon
or into which they may have been previously wound and deliver them to the
section-shaft d on which they are to be wound into sections. The rollers a care
made capable of being revolved in bearings provided in standards & mounted on
the longitudinal frames f f of the sectional warping and beaming machine and
the roller is made capable of being raised and lowered by means of links operated
by means of a shaft e furnished with excentrics and a handle but is normally
supported by the rollers a c and the yarns or threads being operated upon. The
said yarns or threads are passed under the roller a between it and the roller b over
the roller between such roller and the roller c and under the roller c. The
section-shaft is capable of being revolved in hearings provided in the longi-
tudinal frames f, g, of the sectional warping and beaming machine. The.
frames fg are connected by cross-frames some of which will be hereinafter
mentioned, is the pulley which is mounted upon the shaft c of the roller c
according to the first part of my invention and is mounted loose thereon in accord-
ance with the second part of my invention. is the boss or collar fast upon
the shaft c and jis the plate or collar loose thereon which arc
provided according to the second part of my invention. The pulley h
and plate or collar jare placed one at each side of the collar i and are connected
together by bolts which are furnished with springs bearing against the
pulley and nuts upon the bolts. Flanges, bushes or collars m are placed
between the said plate or collar and pulley and the boss or collar 2. The
nuts enable the extent to which the plate or collar and pulley are caused
to bear by means of the bushes collars or flanges m against the boss or collar i
and the extent to which the pulley h may be allowed to slip around the shaft c¹
A loose pulley is also provided upon the shaft c¹ and the pulleys are shapeu
so as to enclose the springs and nuts . The hand-wheel n upon the shaft c
enables it to be readily turned when the machine is being prepared for use or at
any other time when it may be requisite for such shaft c to be turned by hand.
o is the friction-bowl employed to impart motion to the friction-disc p mounted
fast upon the section-shaft & and y is the spring which according to the third part
of my invention is made to surround the shaft o' upon which the friction-bowl o
is mounted and tends to cause it to bear less upon the friction-disc p, and ris
the lever which according to the third part of my invention is mounted upon a stud
or shaft supported by any suitable fixed part of the machine and is made to
partially surround the shaft o¹ on which the friction-bowl o is mounted and to
bear against the said friction-bowl o. The shaft o upon which the friction-
bowl is mounted is inclined and capable of being revolved in bearings formed in
brackets s secured to the frame f and is arranged to receive motion by means of
bevel wheels o o from the shaft. The friction-cone o is capable of being moved
lengthwise of but incapable of being turned upon the shaft . The spring
which bears at one end against the friction-cone o bears at the other end against
collar o secured upon the shaft o¹. Upon the shaft o¹ is also mounted a collar o
capable of being slidden lengthwise of the shaft o¹ and of having the shaft o¹
revolved in it and a washer or collar o' is placed between the collar o³ and the
friction-cone o. The lever is capable of being oscillated about a stud secured
na brackett secured to the cross-frame u between the frames f g and is formed
with a projection 2 so that embracing the shaft o¹ it may bear upon the bottoms of
notches formed in the collar 03 at opposite sides of the shaft o¹.
A bolt passing

page_text: through the lever r is provided with a head and with a spring placed between its
head and the lever and with a nut 2 by means of which the pressure of the
spring may be adjusted, the spring thus tending to press the friction-cone o
against the friction-disc p. The lever r is provided with a pin a projecting over
an arm mounted fast upon a shaft y capable of being oscillated in bearings
formed in the frames f f. Fast upon the shaft y are mounted arms y¹ which are
provided with bearings carrying the axle of a roller zover which the yarns or
threads being operated upon pass in their passage from the roller c to the section-
shaft d. The shaft y is provided with a weight 2 adjustable in position and
enabling the weight of the roller z and arms y to be counter-balanced more or
less so that the tension of the yarns or threads being operated upon may be
regulated as may be desirable from time to time. The collar o, being adjustable,
jand the nut also afford further means by which the tension of the yarns or
threads operated upon may be regulated from time to time. The tension of the
yarns or threads passing over the roller z regulates the extent to which the
spring presses the friction-cone o against the friction-disc p and so regulates
the speed of the friction disc p and so the tension of the yarns or threads is kept
uniform.
If the spring q and lever r be arranged in a suitable manner the arm may in
any case in which it may be considered preferable to so arrange it, be so arranged:
that the weight 2 causing the arm to bear against the upper side of the lever r
shall ordinarily serve to press the friction-cone o against the friction-disc p and
in such case when the roller z is moved by the tension of the yarns or threads
being operated upon the arm a will be more or less raised from the pin w in the
lever so that the friction-cone o will be less strongly pressed against the friction-
disc 2.
3 is the brake-drum provided in accordance with the fifth part of my invention
and 4 is the band-brake provided to act in conjunction with such brake-drum 3.
The brake is formed of a band of steel 4 which is provided with a brake-surface
of leather 5 and is passed over the brake-drum and is secured at one end by means
of a screwed rod 6 and nuts affording means of adjustment to a cross-rail 7 between
the frames f g. The brake-band 4 which is provided with ears 8 embracing the
brake-drum 3 and preventing such brake-band 4 from slipping off the brake-
drum 3, is connected to a stud secured in an arm 9 mounted fast upon a shaft 10
fast upon which is mounted a lever, one arm 11 of which is connected by means of
a connecting rod 12 to a hand-lever 13 capable of being oscillated about a stud
secured in a bracket 14 fast upon the frame f. The other arm 15 of the lever upon
the shaft 10 is connected by means of a stud 16 to a connecting rod 17 to be
hereinafter further mentioned and by a link 19" to one arm 19 of a bell-crank-
lever 18 capable of being oscillated about a vertical stud 20 secured in a bracket
fast upon the frame f. The other arm 21 of the bell-crank-lever 18 is connected
by means of a link 22 to a rod 23 capable of being slidden lengthwise in guides
formed upon the frames f g. Fast upon the rod 23 is mounted a belt-fork 24
provided to move the belt which is employed to impart motion to the sectional
warping and beaming machine by means of the pulley h. When the hand-lever 13
is moved to transfer the said belt from the pulley h to the loose pulley the brake-
band 4 is caused to bear upon the brake-drum 3 and quickly stop the sectional
warning and beaming machine.
The nip-rollers 25 26 of the stop-motion illustrated by Figs. 5, 6 and 7 of the
accompanying drawings are arranged, according to the sixth part of my invention,
to be driven by means of a belt distinct from that by which motion is transmitted
to the sectional warping and beaming machine with which it is used. The belt
emploved to drive the said nip-rollers 25 26 is arranged to impart motion to a
pulley 27 upon the axle of one nip-roller 25 which is in the usual way provided
with a toothed wheel 28 gearing into a toothed wheel 29 upon the axle of the
other nip-roller 26 which is as usual, mounted in arms 30 capable
usual way provided
of oscillation. One of the arms 30 is in the

page_text: with a pin 31 projecting behind a spring 32 secured to one of the side-
frames of the stop-motion and arranged so that when released from a notch 33
in a bracket 34 also secured to the said side-frame of the stop-motion, to guide
such spring, it moves into the position in which it is indicated in Figs. 5 and 6
and acts upon a pin 35 projecting from a rod 36 capable of being slidden in guides
upon the side-frames of the stop-motion and carrying a belt-fork 37 and moves
such belt-fork 37 so as to move from the pulley 27 to the loose pulley 38 used
therewith the belt employed to impart motion to such nip-rollers 25 26.
39 is the bell-crank-lever provided according to the seventh part of my inven-
bion. The bell-crank-lever 39 is capable of being oscillated upon a studi 40
secured in the upper end of a bracket connected to the cross-rails extending at the
front of the stop-motion between the side frames from one side-frame to the other
but omitted from the accompanying drawings. One arm 41 of the bell-crank-
lever 39 is provided with a slot 42 embracing a pin 43 directed downwards and
formed upon a bracket secured to the bar 36 so that when the said bar 36 is moved
by the spring 32 the bell-crank-lever 39 is caused to oscillate. The other arm 44
of the bell-crank-lever 39 is connected to the rod 17 herein before
mentioned so that when the spring 32 moves the belt-fork 37 to transfer from
the pulley 27 to the pulley 38 the belt used therewith the belt-fork 24 will be
moved to transfer from the pulley h to the pulley h¹ the belt used therewith and
also the brake 4 will be caused to arrest the brake-drum 3. The rod 17 and bell-
crank-lever 39 further enable the hand-lever 13 to be used not only to move from
the pulley h¹ to the pulley h the belt used therewith but also to move from the
pulley 38 to the pulley 27 the belt used therewith and to restore to engagement
with the notch 33 the spring 32 of the stop-motion.
Two of the three or more drop-rollers provided in accordince with the eighth
part of my invention are indicated in Fig. 6. The drop-rollers 45 are arranged
to be capable of falling and being raised in guides provided upon the side-frames
of the stop-motion and are employed in conjunction with rollers 46 capable simply
of rotation in bearings provided on the side-frames.
Although not indicated in the accompanying drawings the arrangements employed
according to the fourth part of my invention can be readily understood and
carried into effect by persons conversant with machinery of the kind to which my
invention relates, the arrangement of friction-driving mechanism described as
employed according to the said fourth part of my invention is very closely analogous
to that illustrated in the accompanying drawings as applied, according to the
second part of my invention to the axle of the roller c. According to the fourth
part of my invention the shaft o¹ would be divided into two parts in line with
but free to be turned in relation to each other and a plate or collar corresponding
to the pulley h would be applied to one part of the shaft o' and connected and
pressed by means of bolts and springs corresponding to the bolts and springs
to a plate or collar corresponding to the plate or collar j against a boss or collar
fast upon the other part of the shaft o¹ and corresponding to the boss or collar i
fast upon the shaft c and the lever r would be arranged to vary the extent to which
the plates or collars are pressed together and the shaft o' would be provided with
a bevel wheel to gear into a bevel wheel upon the section-shaft d or be caused to
transmit motion thereto in any other suitable manner and the friction-cone o and
friction-disc p would be dispensed with.
By imparting motion to the section-shaft of a sectional warping and beaming
machine of the kind to which my invention relates from one of the rollers employed
to draw off the yarns or threads being operated upon from the bobbins, cops.
sections or balls or other bodies or forms upon or into which they may have
previously been wound instead of by means of gearing from a shaft from which
motion is transmitted by separate gearing to the said rollers as in the heretofore
constructed machines of the kind to which my invention relates, I greatly simplify
the construction of the machines.
:
The arrangements of loose pulley and collar connected by bolts and springs and

page_text: arranged in conjunction with a collar fast upon the axle of the roller to which
motion is to be imparted, enables the said pulley to slip a little at the starting of
the machine so that the drop-rollers of the stop-motion used with such machine
may be raised before the rollers of such machine are driven at full speed and thus
the breakage of yarns or threads is avoided and further the provision of a brake
according to the fifth part of my invention is facilitated as, by the employment
of the second part of my invention such brake is enabled to stop the rollers even
before the belt is moved from the pulley used to impart motion to the said rollers.
The arrangements herein before described in reference to the third part of my
invention and consisting essentially in the lever r, arm and springs and v
enable the friction bowl o to be more readily moved and render it possible to
ensure a more uniform tension of the yarns or threads operated upon than it has
been possible to obtain in the heretofore constructed machines of the kind to which
my invention relates.
The arrangements herein before described according to the fourth part of my
invention afford simple means which may be employed as an alternative for the
friction-disc I'
and friction-cone o illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The provision of a brake-drum and brake according to the fifth part of my
invention enables the rollers to be quickly stopped and so facilitates the finding
and piecing of broken yarns or threads.
By driving the nip-rollers of the stop-motion used in conjunction with a sectional
warping and beaming machine of the kind to which my invention relates by means
distinct from those employed to drive such sectional warping and beaming machine,
as described in reference to the sixth part of my invention, I am enabled to drive
such nip-rollers at a higher speed than has been obtainable with the arrangements
hitherto used and by so doing I am enabled to secure a more rapid action of the
stop-motion, and by providing means to connect together the belt-fork used with
the belt imparting motion to the sectional warping and beaming machine and
the bar moved by the spring of the stop-motion, I retain the advantage offered
by the arrangement heretofore used, that the sectional warping and beaming
machine and the stop-motion can be controlled by one hand-lever.
The arrangements provided according to the seventh part of my invention as a
means of connecting the bar intended to be moved by the spring of the stop-
motion to the hand-lever employed to move the belt-fork of the sectional warping
and beaming machine are simple and efficient and free from gearing liable to cause
injury to the attendants in charge of such machines.
Sectional warping and beaming machines have hitherto not been provided with
more than two drop-rollers. The employment of three or more drop rollers accord-
ing to the eighth part of my invention enables sectional warping machines
constructed according to my invention to be worked at a much greater speed than
the heretofore constructed sectional warping and beaming machines of the kind
to which my invention relates and also enables the tension of the yarns or threads
operated upon to be kept more uniform throughout their length than in the hither-
to constructed machines of the said kind.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
