PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Device in connection with Winding Apparatus for Lace
and other Fabrics.
SAMUEL BROTHERHOOD 91 Sneinton Road Sneinton in the Borough of Nottingham
Window Blind Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide in winding machines for lace and similar
fabrics an appliance for ensuring a better and more uniform delivery of the fabrics
from the part of the loom used in the manufacture of the same to the winding or
storing part of the machine. To obviate the stoppage of the machinery while winding
and to regulate the difference in the pull of the fabric caused by the filling of the
roller. I provide an appliance consisting essentially of a ratchet wheel attached to
the winding roller, a detent disc in shape like a quick-return edge cam, and a bar
rising and falling in slotted supports and fitted with two downward projecting pieces
one of which carries a pawl which engages with the ratchet wheel on the winding
roller, the other engages with the detent disc or edge cam. An inclined plane is
adjusted by means of a screw so that a small roller or wheel turning on an axis fitted
at one end of the rising and falling bar aforesaid rests on the bottom of said
plane when the bar is in its lowest position. The detent disc is fixed on a shaft
and on being revolved engages the catch before mentioned and forces the bar up
the plane giving at the same time a vibratory movement to the pawl on the other
projecting piece and turning the winding roller. The detent disc and its catch
become disengaged through the vertical motion of the bar caused by its travelling
up the plane and the former is immediately pulled back into its lowest position by
suitable springs. By altering the inclination of the plane the vibratory movement
communicated to the pawl may be regulated and the force and length of pull on
the fabric adjusted for the increase in diameter of the winding roller caused by
the material being wound thereon.

I SAMUEL BROTHERHOOD, of 91 Sneinton Road Sneinton in the Borough of
Nottingham, Window Blind Maker, 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:-

and to regulate the difference in the pull of the fabric caused by the filling of the
roller. I provide an appliance consisting essentially of a ratchet wheel attached to
the winding roller a detent disc in shape like a quick-return edge cam and a bar
rising and falling in slotted supports and fitted with two downwardly projecting pieces
one of which carries a pawl which engages with the ratchet wheel on the winding
roller, the other engages with the detent disc, or edge cam. An inclined plane is
adjusted by means of a screw so that a small roller or wheel turning on an axis fitted
at one end of the rising and falling bar aforesaid rests on the bottom of said
plane when the bar is in its lowest position. The detent disc is fixed on a shaft
and on being revolved engages the catch before mentioned and forces the bar up
the plane giving at the same time a vibratory movement to the pawl on the other
projecting piece and turning the winding roller the detent disc and its catch
become disengaged through the rising motion of the bar caused by its travelling
up the plane and the former is immediately pulled back into its lowest position by
suitable springs. By altering the inclination of the plane the vibratory movement
communicated to the pawl may be regulated and the force and length of the pull on
the fabric adjusted for the increase in diameter of the winding roller or reel caused
by the material being wound thereon. In order that my invention may be better
understood I append drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2. an end
elevation of my improved appliance. Similar letters refer to similar parts on both
figs. A is the rising and falling bar. S. S. the slotted supports for bar with the two
projecting pieces C. D. E the roller which travels on inclined plane F. W small
wheel and screw for adjusting inclined plane. P. pawl which engages with ratchet
wheel R, and is free to move in the direction of the arrow but is kept in its normal
position by a small spiral spring not shown. G the detent disc which engages the
projecting arm D. O. O. spiral springs for assisting the bar to its lowest position.
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
1 claim is,
1. The combination and arrangement of the rising and falling bar, and detent disc
or notched wheel as described, illustrated and set forth.
2. The combination and arrangement of roller and inclined plane with rising and
falling bar and detent disc as described illustrated and set forth.
3. The combination and arrangement of roller and inclined plane with rising and
falling bar and detent disc with pawl and ratchet wheel and springs as described
illustrated and set forth.
4. The whole combination for purposes specified as described illustrated and set
forth.
