IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO BEAMING FRAMES
Year: 1884

page_text: I RICHARD TURNER of 50 Waterloo Road Burnley in the County of Lancaster
Beamer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN AND RELATING TO BEAMING FRAMES" to be as follows:-
My improvements consist in the arrangement of a brake, so applied as to arrest
more readily the revolving parts of the frame, in the event of any of the threads
being absent or broken, and to act simultaneously with the disengagement of the
driving strap. A lever or brake is placed in suitable position, to act when required
upon a pulley or drum. To the said lever is attached a catch link, which when
raised is capable of engaging with a projection fixed to the framing, whereby the
brake is held out of contact with the pulley or drum, but in the event of the
breakage or absence of the yarn, the catch link is thrown off the projection, and
the brake applied by the ordinary stop motion. An arrangement of levers are
mounted on a rocking shaft above the frame, and within easy reach of the attendant
who may thereby raise the catch link to its former position.

page_text: I, RICHARD TURNER of 50 Waterloo Road, Burnley, in the county of Lancaster,
Beamer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN AND
RELATING TO BEAMING FRAMES," 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 an improved means or apparatus for applying friction to
beaming frames, to arrest more effectually the movement of the yarn roller when a
thread is broken or a bobbin or spool is empty, at which time, a break is brought
in contact applying a sufficient amount of friction or drag to a break wheel, as will
ensure an almost instantaneous stoppage of the forward movement of the yarn
roller. When the friction has been applied and the frame stopped, the attendant
relieves the friction or break by hand without interfering with the setting on
mechanism enabling him to move the yarn roller free from friction, to find the
broken thread, and whilst performing this operation, should another end or thread
be broken, its drop wire falls between the periphery of the stopping rollers,
whereby the friction is again applied, and the attendant warned of the occurrence.
In commencing to fill the yarn roller, or in case of soft or tender yarns, this
arrangement of break will be found of great advantage, as the speed of the
revolving parts of the frame may be regulated by the break, at the will of the
attendant.
In Order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
operation, I have hereunto attached the accompanying sheet of drawings, reference
being had to the figures and letters marked thereon, the same letters referring to
the same parts in the various views and figures. Figs 1 and 2 are respectively end
elevation and partial plan view of a beaming frame constructed in accordanco with
my invention; Fig 3 is a detached view of parts of mechanism which may be
employed for relieving the break. A represents the end frame of the machine, b
the yarn roller which is driven by frictional contact with the driving cylinder c.
Each thread of warp carries a detector wire or pin, which drops when its support-
ing thread is broken or run out, between a pair of rollers d and e, which revolving,
seize and dilever it into a pin box beneath. During this operation or seizure of the
detector wire, the roller e is moved slightly outwards, vibrating on arms h and h¹
the latter is arranged in the usual manner, to liberate a catch link at the opposite
side of the machino to that represented in Fig 1, to allow the triddle i to rise and
disengage the driving strap.
During the liberation of the said catch link, another catch link ; seen in Fig 1, is
thrown off its support on the bracket k by the arm h, to allow the weighted end of
the lever to fall, the other end of which, rising and acting on one end of the
intermediate lever m seen in Fig 2 depresses the break n at the other end of the
said lever with such force and pressure on the break wheel o, as will ensure the
almost instantaneous stoppage of the revolving parts of the frame. By this means,
the thread or threads when broken may be readily found and pieced, and the usual
winding on of several laps of yarn on the roller b (after the disengagement of the
driving strap) prevented, ensuring uniformity in the length of the threads composing
the warp when beamed.
On each end of the rod p carried in bearings at the upper extremities of the
arms and h³ seen in Fig 3, are secured handle levers r and, the former of which
seen in Fig 1. is connected by a flexible bands to the catch link j which is raised
sufficiently by the attendant to relieve the break through the medium of one or
other of the handles 7 and 7, to allow the catch of the link j to be thrown upon

page_text: the support or bracket k by the spring t, where it is held until again thrown off its
support, by the arm h on the absence or breakage of another warp thread. Whilst
relieving the break in the manner above described, the setting on mechanism or
parts for shifting the driving strap, are in noway interfered with.
I am fully aware that various applications of breaks have been previously tried
and discarded, their failure I believe to be due to their connection with the setting
on mechanism as a means of relieving the break. The apparatus used by me has no
such connection, and is not in any way affected in setting on or starting the frame.
Having now described the nature and object of my said invention, and in what
manner the same is or may be performed, I wish it to be understood that I claim :-
The employment of a break arranged and actuated to apply and relieve friction
substantially as shewn and described for the purposes set forth.
