page_text: I HENRY LOMAX of 60 Railway Road, Darwen in the County of Lancaster
Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LETTING OFF" APPARATUS OF LOOMS FOR WEAVING
to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to improvements on the invention for which Letters
Patent were granted to me Numbered 4557 A. D. 1882 and consists of an adjustable
device whereby compensation for irregularities of bite of holding rope, and the
degree of oscillation of warp beam may be adjusted and regularity in the action of
the weighting and delivery of the warp are ensured..
I connect the ends of the weight and ruffle ropes or chains to an upright carried
by a bracket, bolted to the end frame of the loom, the horizontal limb of the
bracket is extended, and forms a rest or bed, for the end of a set screw the latter
being passed through a lug of the upright referred to, so that by the adjustment of
the end of the set screw upon the arm of the L bracket the degree of motion of the
upright can be adjusted and the tension on the weight and ruffle ropes or chains
determined-the set screw is secured by lock nut after adjustment.

page_text: I HENRY LOMAX, of 60, Railway Road, Darwen, in the County of Lancaster,
Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE "LETTING OFF" APPARATUS OF LOOMS FOR WEAVING
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 improvements on the invention for which Letters
Patent were granted to me numbered 4547 A.D. 1882 and consists of an adjustable
device whereby compensation for irregularities of bite of holding rope, and the
degree of oscillation of warp beam may be adjusted and regularity in the action of
the weighting and delivery of the warp are ensured.
I connect the ends of the weight and ruffle ropes or chains to an upright, 1,
carried by a L bracket, bolted to the end frame of the loom, the horizontal limb of
the bracket is extended, and forms a rest, or bed, for the end of a set screw, the
latter being passed through a lug on the upright referred to so that by the
adjustment of the end of the set screw upon the arm of the L bracket the degree
of motion of the upright can be adjusted, and the tension on the weight and ruffle
ropes or chains determined, the set screw is secured by lock nut after adjustment.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which is illustrated end view of a warp
beam having my improvements applied thereto, At 1, is a part of the end frame
of the loom, to which is bolted the bracket 2, the latter carries the upright 3, to
the upper end of which is secured by the clamp 4, and hook pin 5, the ends of the
weight rope 6, and the chain 7.
The rope 6, is passed through the eye of the brake clip 8, around the neck or
ruffle 9, of the warp beam 10, to, and secured by the clamp 4, whilst the chain 7,
from the ordinary weighting levers 11, passes over the hook 12, of the brake clip 8,
to the hook pin 5, of the upright 3, the upper part 13 of which bears against the
rope 6, so that it will be seen the weight, and its chain 7, through the part 13, act
directly upon the rope 6, at the point 14, and by forcing the latter in the direction
of the axis of the beam put the necessary grip thereon, whilst the degree of
oscillation of the beam, and delivery of yarn therefrom is at the same time
regulated, and determined to a nicety by the adjusting set screw 15, because as the
end 16, of the said screw is further above or nearer to the horizontal arm 17 of the
bracket 2, so will the delivery be determined.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The upright 3, gripping the ruffle rope 6, and the weighting chain, or rope 7,

page_text: combination, and as illustrated by drawings annexed, and operating in manner
herein fully described and for purpose set forth.
2. The upright 3, rope 6, and chain 7, in combination, and arranged, and
operating in the manner herein described and illustrated.
