page_text: I JOSEPH BRADSHAW of the Garfield Mill, Atherton Street Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
*
My invention consists of attaching or fixing an ordinary leasing reed to an
ordinary Beaming frame or machine in such a position and in such a manner as
to be able to run and wind either white or coloured warps straight to and on to
ordinary warp tubes or beams directly from the bobbins without the warp having
to be put through a second or auxiliary machine for the purpose of striking the
lease: thus saving or dispensing altogether with the operation or process of the
second or auxiliary machine common to sectional warping; preventing also
the necessity of winding on Beams as in sectional warping. To be able to strike
the lease in the warp without having to use the hand combs which are used in
connection with ordinary Beaming frames and gaining at the same time an end
and end lease all through the length of the warp. I effect my object in the
following manner.
Between the breast plate and the taking up rollers of the Beaming frame or
machine I fix a shaft extending the whole width of the machine and supported or
carried in suitable bearings attached to the sides' or cheeks of the machine. At
both ends of this shaft a small pinion wheel is keyed which works or gears into
racks which slide in a vertical direction in suitable guides. At the top of these
two racks an ordinary leasing reed is fixed which also extends the whole width of
the machine. At one or both ends of the said shaft a hand wheel is fixed for
turning or operating the shaft for the purpose of raising or lowering the leasing
reed to any required position by means of the racks and pinion wheels.

page_text: I JOSEPH BRADSHAW of the Garfield Mill, Atherton Street, Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN YARN BEAMING MACHINES " 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 attaching or fixing an ordinary leasing reed, or an
ordinary neck or other equivalent, for obtaining a lease, to an ordinary Yarn
Beaming frame or machine in such a position and in such a manner as to be able
to run and wind either white or coloured warps straight to and on to ordinary
warp tubes or beams directly from the bobbins, on the creel without the warp
having to be put through a second or auxiliary machine for the purpose of striking
the lease and saving or dispensing altogether with the operation or process of the
second or auxiliary machine common to sectional warping and preventing also the
necessity of winding the yarn on to beams which is common in sectional warping.
Also to be able to strike the lease in the warp without having to use the hand
combs which are used in connection with ordinary Beaming frames, and gaining or
obtaining at the same time an end and end lease all through the length of the
warp.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried
into effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being made
to the letters marked thereon.
Figure 1. is a cross sectional elevation of an ordinary Yarn Beaming machine
shewing the position of the ordinary leasing reed, or its equivalent.
Figure 2. is a section of an ordinary Yarn Beaming machine shewing in side
elevation the leasing reed, and the mechanism for raising and lowering the leasing
reed.
Figure 3. is an enlarged view of the spur pinions and a portion of the spur racks
for raising and lowering the leasing reed.
Between the breast plate B and the taking up rollers C. of the Beaming frame
or machine I fix a shaft D extending the whole width of the machine and supported
or carried in suitable bearings E-fig. 2-attached to the sides or cheeks of the
machine. At both ends of this shaft a small spur pinion wheel F is keyed which
works or gears into suitable racks H. shewn in figs. 1. 2 & 3, which slide in a
vertical direction in suitable guides I cast with or bolted to the sides or cheeks of
the machine figs. 1 & 2-At the top of these two racks an ordinary leasing
reed A is fixed which also extends the whole width of the machine as shewn in
fig. 2. At one or both ends of the said shaft a hand wheel W is fixed for turning
or operating the shaft D for the purpose of raising or lowering the leasing reed A
to any required position by means of the spur racks H and the small spur pinion
hool E

page_text: 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:
Firstly. The fixing of an ordinary leasing reed, or an ordinary neck, or other
equivalent for obtaining a lease, between the breast plate and the taking up rollers
of an ordinary Yarn Beaming frame or machine substantially as described and as
shewn on drawings and for the purpose herein specified.
Secondly. The apparatus substantially as herein shewn and described for raising
and lowering the leasing reed, or its equivalent.
