Improvements relating to Looms for Domestic Purposes.
We, RICHARD LONGDEN HATTERSLEY, of North Brook Works, Keighley, in the
County of York, Machine Maker, and SIMEON JACKSON, of the same address.
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in looms for domestic purposes and
consists of. Firstly:-The application of a card motion for the purpose of
automatically regulating the movement of the revolving box. Secondly:
The application of a measuring motion for the purpose of applying the brake
and thus indicating for the stoppage of the loon when a given length of cloth
has been woven.
In the first part of our invention we connect the sliding tappet, included in
Specification No. 9741 of 1898 to two card-levers in such a manner that when
one of these levers is operated the sliding tappet comes in contact with the
box lever for the forward motion of the box and when the other is operated it
comes in contact with the box lever for the backward motion of the box and
when neither of these two card levers is operated the box remains stationary.
The two card-levers are operated upon by a chain of cards which passes over
a rising and falling cylinder, the latter receiving motion from any motor part
of the loom.
In the second part of our invention we mount on the take-up beam a loose
sleeve which works in connection, by means of pin & spring, with a boss secured
to the beam. A cord of the required length connects the sleeve to the brake
motion and with the loom in operation this cord is wound on the sleeve & when
the desired length has been wound on, motion is imparted to the brake by a
suitable arrangement of levers.
We, RICHARD LONGDEN HATTERSLEY, of North Brook Works, Keighley, in the
County of York, Machine Maker, and SIMEON JACKSON, of the same address,
Manager, 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:-
Our invention relates to improvements in looms for domestic purposes and
consists of. Firstly -The application of a card motion for the purpose of

page_text: automatically regulating the movement of the revolving box. Secondly:-
The application of a measuring motion for the purpose of applying the brake
and thus indicating for the stoppage of the loom when a given length of cloth
has been woven.
In the first part of our invention we connect the sliding tappet included in
Specification No. 9741 of 1898 to two card levers in such a manner that when
one of these levers is operated the sliding tappet comes in contact with the
box-lever for the forward motion of the box and when the other is operated it
comes in contact with the box lever for the backward motion of the box and
when neither of these two card levers is operated the box remains stationary.
The two card levers are operated upon by a chain of cards which passes over
a rising and falling cylinder, the latter receiving motion from any motor part
of the loom.
In the second part of our invention we mount on the take-up beam a loose
sleeve which works in connection, by means of pin and spring, with a boss secured
to the beam. A cord of the required length connects the sleeve to the brake
motion and with the loom in operation this cord is wound on the sleeve and
when the desired length has been wound on, motion is imparted to the brake by
a suitable arrangement of levers.
In order to make clear our invention we append hereto two sheets of drawings
marked with figures of reference in which like figures denote like parts.
Fig. 1 represents an end view of the revolving box and motion with the card
motion attached to same, Fig. 2 is a front elevation of same and Fig. 3 is
a plan view of certain parts hereafter referred to. Fig. 4 is an end view of the
measuring motion and Fig. 5 a front view.
In the first part of our invention we make use of the frame 1, box 2, stand 3,
peg wheel 4, draw rods 5 & 6, lever 7, with its two arms 8 & 9, lever 10 with
its arms 11 & 12, joint pieces 13 & 14, tappet 15, bowl 16, arm 17, shaft 18, all
as shown and described in our Specification of Letters Patent No. 9741 of 1898.
The card motion consists of a cylinder 19 mounted in stands 21 & 22 which
along with the lever 23 are rigidly mounted on the stud 24 and thus, as shown,
the cylinder 19 is brought into contact with the tappet 25 by means of the
lever 23, connecting rod 26, bowl 27.
The tappet 25 is mounted on the shaft 28 which makes a revolution every two
picks of the loom and thus the cylinder is raised and lowered every two
picks. The catch wheel 29 is connected to the cylinder 19 and when the same is
making its downward motion it comes in contact with the catch 30 and by this
means the cylinder 19, which is held in position by the locking wheel 31,
lever 32, and spring 33, is turned one sixth of a revolution.
The cylinder 19 is arranged to receive a set of cards 34 so that the latter
revolve with same; the cards indicate upon the two levers 35 & 36 by means
of the pins 37 & 38 which project from same, and these two levers transmit
the indication received to the box tappet 15 by means of the rod 39 and 40,
lever 41, shaft 18 and arm 17.
The cards 34 which are either blank or perforated are arranged to suit the
design to be woven. Thus, if on the operation of the cylinder 19 a blank be
presented to the lever 35 the box tappet comes in contact with the lever 7 and
the revolving box 2 is turned forwards by the draw rod 5, or if a blank be
presented to the lever 36 the box tappet 15 comes in contact with the lever 10
and the revolving box 2 is turned backwards by the draw rod 6. When no
blanks are presented then the tappet 15 remains at its non-operative position and
the shuttle box is stationary.
To the stand we attach a rod 42 so that when the cylinder 19 is at its
bottom position it brings the two levers 35 & 36 to their normal position
that is resting on the projection 43 and in this manner the box tappet 15 is at
one period of each operation brought to its non-operative position.
To attain the second part of our invention we mount loosely a sleeve 44 on the

page_text: take-up beam 45 as shown in Figures 4 & 5. This sleeve is connected by
pin 46, and spring 47, to the boss 48, which is rigidly mounted on the beam 45
and thus works in connection with same. A cord 49 is connected to the sleeve 44
and is passed through the stand 50 and lever 51 in the manner shown. The
brake 52 applicable to the brake wheel 53, is connected to the lever 51, by the
rod 54, and lever 55, the nose 56 of the latter resting on same.
Thus it will be seen that as the take-up beam 45 revolves the cord 49 is wound
on the sleeve 44 and a knot or like projection is made on the cord in accord with
the length to be woven and by this means the lever 51 is drawn and the brake 52
with its weight 57 applied.
By withdrawing the pin 46 which secures the sleeve 44 to the boss 48 the
sleeve 44 is free to revolve on the shaft 45 and thus the cord can be unwound
when required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
-
(1st) The application of a card motion for regulating the movement of the
revolving shuttle box to a loom for domestic purposes as shown and described.
(2nd) The application of a measuring motion for indicating for the stopping
of the loom when a given length has been woven to the same class of loom,
as shown and described.
