hereby declare the nature of this improvement to be as follows:-
-
This improvement relates to a perfect stop-motion to prevent traps and smashes,
it consists of two angular brackets projecting down from the front of the slay or
lathe and are attached by screws, the other end of the brackets possessing a hole
through which is inserted a metallic cranked rod or its equivalent, passing through
a projecting arm or bayonet, and is attached to the stop-rod of the reed-case which
passes under the slay or lathe of the loom, the bayonet or projecting arm having
a suitable slot, through which the metallic rod passes, and also possesses an
adjustable screw and lock nut at the end.
The adjustable screw is so arranged, and can be regulated to knock off the
loom at a given point, and will prevent the loom from running over when the
shuttle is in the yarn, it will also prevent a trap or smash.
In case of the shuttle not landing in the shuttle-box, and coming in contact with
the reed, the reed is then thrown back by the shuttle, which then raises the bayonet
or projecting arm to knock off the loom, it also raises the metallic rod
or its equivalent to the centre line of the brackets, the metallic rod being
operated by a spiral spring, which is attached to the side of the bayonet by a stud
which throws the metallic rod above the centre line of the holes in the brackets,
thus holding the stop-rod, or reed-case out of the way of the shuttle or reed, and
preventing traps or smashes.
To replace the reed, all the weaver has to do is to press in the reed with one
hand, and push down the bayonet with the other, and the loom is again in work-
ing order...
This improvement may be worked with various kinds of springs, either to pull
or push.

page_text: I, LAZARUS CROMPTON, of 114, New Hall Lane, Preston, Lancashire, and late of
110, Halliwell Street, Salford, Manchester, Overlooker, 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:—
This improvement relates to a perfect stop motion to prevent traps and smashes,
it consists of two angular brackets projecting down from the front of the slay or
lathe and are attached by screws, the other end of the brackets possessing a hole
through which is inserted a metallic cranked rod or its equivalent passing through
a projecting arm or bayonet and is attached to the stop rod of the reed case which
passes under the slay or lathe of the loom, the bayonet or projecting arm having
à suitable slot through which the metallic rod passes and also possesses an
adjustable screw and lock nut at the end.
The adjustable screw is so arranged and can be regulated to knock off the
loom at a given point and will prevent the loom from running over when the
shuttle is in the yarn it will also prevent a trap or smash.
In case of the shuttle not landing in the shuttle box, and coming in contact with
the reed, the reed is then thrown back by the shuttle which then raises the bayonet
or projecting arm to knock off the loom, it also raises the metallic rod
or its equivalent to the centre line of the brackets the metallic rod being
operated by a spiral spring, which is attached to the side of the bayonet by a stud
which throws the metallic rod above the centre line of the holes in the brackets,
thus holding the stop rod or reed case out of the way of the shuttle or reed, and
preventing traps or smashes.
To replace the reed all the weaver has to do is to press in the reed with one
hand, and push down the bayonet with the other, and the loom is again in work-
ing order.
This improvement may be worked with various kinds of springs either to pull
or push.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a part front elevation of the slay or lathe of a loom with my new or
improved stop motion applied.
Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation shewing stop motion when loom is in working
order.
Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation shewing the reed thrown back by the shuttle
and loom stopped by action of improved stop motion.
A is the lathe, B is the reed and C the shuttle. The stop motion consists of two
angular brackets D projecting down from the front of the slay or lathe A and
secured thereto by screws E the other end of brackets D possessing a hole through
which is inserted a metallic cranked rod G, or its equivalent passing through a
projecting arm or bayonet H and is attached to the stop rod I of the reed case P
which passes under the slay or lathe A of the loom, the bayonet or projecting
arm H having a suitable slot K through which the metallic rod G passes and
also possesses adjustable screw L and lock nut M at the end. The original duck
bill is letter S on drawing.
In case of the shuttle C not landing in the shuttle box and coming in contact
with the reed B, the reed B is then thrown back by the shuttle C which then raises
the bayonet or projecting arm H which strikes the spring handle or setting on
rod R and knocks off the loom, it also raises the metallic rod G or its equivalent
to the centre line of the brackets D), the metallic rod G being pushed or pulled
by a spiral spring N which is attached to the side of the bayonet H by a stud O

page_text: which then throws the metallic rod G above the centre line of the holes in the
bracket D thus holding the stop rod I or reed case P out of the way of the shuttle C
or reed B and thus preventing traps or smashes.
The angular brackets D are so constructed that the metallic cranked rod G is
prevented from falling beyond its required distance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The general arrangement, construction and combination of parts composing the
new or improved stop motion for looms applied and operating as hereinbefore
described and as illustrated in the annexed drawings.
