Improvements in Double Lift Harness or Dobbies for Weaving.
I, ISAAC HILLAS of Morley, near Leeds 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 :-
The object of my invention is to save wear and tear of neck bands,-and-to use only
one-where-hitherto two have been used.
I employ a sliding metallic double loop or union through which pass the two
upright or vertical wires or rods connected to the lifting motion of the dobby,
preferably a hook or link is attached to the centre of each double loop, this hook or
link carries one neck band, the neck band being as usual, carrying the leashes or heads
which are attached to the healds. Or the neck bands may be connected direct to the
double loop.
Before two neck bands have been-used, one-to-each-up-right.
On the dobby lifting one of the vertical wires the loop slides up the other,
lifting the neck band with it and on lifting the other wire it acts in a similar
Inanner,
By this arrangement there is no strain or jerking on the neck bands,-only-balf
the number of neck bands being-required, and-always-working-with-a-tight-neck
band.

page_text: A are the two upright or vertical wires, B is the double loop having, preferably, a
hook or link C attached, to which is secured one neck band D, to this neck band
are attached the leashes or heads which are connected to the healds. When one wire
is lifted (See Fig. 2), the double loop slides up the other wire, and so half the number
of neck-bands is dispensed with.-
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I would have it understood
that I do not confine myself to the exact shape of double loop and link shown, as they
may be modified variously without departing from the principle of my invention, I
declare that what I claim is :-
Connecting the two upright-or-vertical-wires in any manner-so-that-half
the number of neck bands are dispensed-with-for-the-purposes-substantially-as-herein
setforttr.-
2. The combination of the vertical wires A double loop B with or without the
link C, as and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
