I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The wheel in question is a V shape marked A. B is a Clip for V wheel. C is
lever for B Clip. D is a neck which is between two & four inches in length
according to looms. Which will have a second or double bearing, To what it as at
present. And the second or double bearing can be adopted io driving wheels if
required.
The loom sides will have a bend of 4 inches inwards at each side. See drawing
Section B. From Section B to front of Loom will have a bend of 4 inches on each
side making the loom & inches narrower at front than back.

I 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:-
My invention consists of a wheel known as a brake wheel and is of the type known
as √ shape; this wheel is used for bringing to a stop at the right time and place the
looms whenever required for any purpose such as breakage of weft &c. &c.
The accompanying drawings are submitted in explanation of this invention. On
Sheet No. 1 the brake wheel referred to is shown by letter A in Elevation & Section.
This wheel as before stated is ✓ shaped. The reason of this is that it is more easily
and more effectually controlled by the grip or clip B, which is so shaped as to fit the
wheel. Attached to this grip is a lever ; which is under the control of the
weaver. When the leaver is set at liberty or lowered the grip B is raised & fits on to
the wheel A thus stopping it instantaneously-on the leaver being raised the loom is
again re-started.
On this wheel A is a "bush" E (see Sheet. No. 3)-According to the existing
arrangement this bush is bored for but a very short distance with the result that it
does not fit altogether over the boss F on the crank shaft G. When the oil for lubri-
cating purposes is used on E and F it escapes owing to the boring in the bush E being
so shallow. After its escape it runs on to the brake wheel & thus, obviously, prevents
the efficient action of the brake owing to its oily state. Now in this my invention I
purpose avoiding this defect, and accomplish it in this manner; viz. by making the
boring in the bush E of a sufficient depth to allow it to fit the whole length of the
boring of said bush over the boss F; when the oil is poured on it runs into this boring
& having a proper depth does not escape but lubricates in the boring.
This part of
the brake wheel is known in this my invention and mentioned in my Provisional
Specification as a double bearing.
I now come to the portion of my invention described in the title thereof as
"Loom side." This invention consists of a bend in each side of the loom as at B. B
(sheet No. 2). In the existing looms they are made straight from end to end. This
will make the loom lighter, and whilst bringing the weaver much nearer to his or her
work, it will weave the same width of cloth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1. For the brake wheel and improvement in bush or neck of same known as
(in this Specification) double bearing.
2. For the clip or grip to wheel.
3. For the new shape in the side of the looms-to wit the bend.
