Improved Reading and Punching Mechanism for Embroidering
Machine or like Jacquards.
I, HENRY HILL, of the Firm of Balm Hill & Sons, of 63A, Mansfield Road, in
he City of Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
nvention to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to improved mechanism for reading, selecting the
punches, and perforating, pattern cards or bands for the jacquards of multiple
embroidering machines or the like.
According to my invention the body of the apparatus is comprised of prefer-
ably two end standards connected by cross stays, which form a support for a
semi-cylindrical or segmental pattern board of a suitable radius and length, which
is mounted on the said standards with its convex face upwards.
The pattern to be read is placed on the upper cylindrical surface of this pattern
board, and may be secured in position by straps, pins, or other suitable devices.
In order to read the pattern, the latter is followed stitch by stitch, by means
of a pointer on a carriage, which latter travels along a preferably tubular bar
placed above the pattern board, and parallel to the axis of the cylindrical surface
of the latter.
The ends of the carriage bar are secured to the outer ends of two arms, which
are pivotted on hollow pivots to the end standards, at a point which exactly
coincides with the axis of the cylindrical surface of the pattern board.
The carriage bar may be thus moved angularly parallel to the cylindrical
surface of the pattern board, and in following the pattern with the pointer, this
angular movement of the carriage bar, is combined with the movement of the
pointer carriage along the said bar.
The pointer carriage is connected to an endless flexible band, cord, or the
like, which is carried along the carriage bar, over pulleys at its ends, down the
pivotted arms, over pulleys on the said arms at the point where they are pivotted,
and through the hollow pivots herein before referred to.
At a point between the hollow pivots, the endless band is secured to a spring
clip, which is supported in a guide plate placed parallel to the band. Any move-
ment of the pointer carriage along the carriage bar is thus communicated to this
spring clip, and the latter is moved a corresponding distance along its guide
plate, but in the reverse direction.
The angular movement of the carriage bar is communicated to a second spring
clip, which is supported in a second guide plate placed level with and parallel to
5 the former, by the following arrangement.
At each end of the apparatus is a short vertical shaft carried in bearings
secured to the end standards. On each of these shafts is secured a pulley, over
which is carried a second endless band, which runs parallel to the first, and is
secured to the second spring clip. The vertical shafts on which these pulley
are mounted, are each connected to its respective pivotted arm, by a bevel toothed

page_text: wheel or quadrant on the arm, engaging with a bevel toothed wheel on the
vertical shaft.
The gearing described is so disposed, that the second spring clip is moved a
distance which is exactly equal to the angular movement of the carriage bar,
relatively to the cylindrical surface of the pattern board.
Above the two guide plates described, for supporting the spring clips, are a
number of vertical selecting needles, arranged in two rows, parallel to the said
guide plates, with a division in the middle of each row, and with the end needles
in each row out of line with the remainder. These needles are carried in top and
bottom sleys secured to the framing or guide plates.
Below each row of selector needles is a plate which is perforated in a similar
manner to the sley plates, that is, provided with a hole or opening corresponding
to each needle, and through which the lower ends of the latter can fall. The whole
of the openings in this plate are however normally masked by a masking plate
which is placed above it, and the lower points of the whole of the needles thus
normally rest on this masking plate and are held up.
Each masking plate is say provided with a hole which is in line with the corre-
sponding row of needles, and with a slot on each side of the hole, in a line with
the end needles. Normally the hole in the masking plate is in the division in
the middle of the row of needles, whilst the inner end of each slot is just clear
of the corresponding end needle.
When the masking plate is moved longitudinally to the right or left, it will
allow a needle to fall on the right or left of the division according to the
direction of such movement, and also one of the end needles. The lower end
of the former falls through the hole in the masking plate, whilst that of the latter
falls through one of the slots.
For example if the masking plate be moved to the left, say a distance equal to
the space occupied by four needles, the fourth needle from the middle division
will be allowed to fall, whilst the end needle on the extreme right of the row will
also fall, as by this movement the slot in the masking plate is moved under it.
If the movement was on the contrary towards the right, a needle on the right
of the division would be allowed to fall, together with the needle on the extreme
left of the row.
The needles at the ends of the one row, determine whether the movement im-
parted to the frame of the embroidering machine shall be up or down, and the
remaining needles in the row, the length of such movement.
The needles at the ends of the other row determine whether the movement of
said frame shall be to the right or left, and the remaining needles in this row
the length of such movement.
One masking plate is moved a distance equal to the angular movement of the
carriage bar, and the other a distance equal to the movement of the pointer
carriage on the said bar, by the spring clips connected to the endless bands
previously described. The clips at the time the pointer is moved for each
stitch in the pattern, engages with or grasps their respective masking plates,
- and move them longitudinally in either direction, and thus select the needles
required to reproduce the movement of the pointer.
After the needles have been selected for each stitch, the latter are again
raised by bars or by raising the top sley plate, the spring clips are opened, and
the masking plates are returned to their normal position again, by levers actuated
by helical or other suitable cam striking parts, on a longitudinal cam shaft which
is carried in bearings in the end standards, below the guide plates.
This shaft is provided with cams or eccentrics for actuating the mechanism
for raising the selecting needles, and also like devices for actuating two bars
which release the spring clips.
The punching mechanism which is preferably placed below the selecting
needles, comprises a pair of punch plates, between which the cards or bands are
intermittently fed, by rollers or the like, advanced by ratchet and pawl mech-

page_text: nism, actuated by a cam or other convenient device on the cam
efore referred to.
SHALO
The punches are disposed is say two rows in the top plate, corresponding to
he two rows of selector needles, but their number is less. There are two punches
n each row corresponding to the two end needles in each row of selector needles,
nd above these punches are four vertical sliders, that is one to each punch,
which sliders are connected preferably by cords to the four end selector needles.
There are in addition half the number of punches as there are remaining
selector needles, but above each of the remaining punches are two sliders, one of
which is connected to a selector needle on the left and the other to the correspond-
ing needle on the right of the division. Each pair of sliders operate one punch.
These sliders are carried in suitable guideways secured to the framing, and are
each provided with a recess or projection. When a selector needle falls, the
slider to which it is connected also falls, and the recess or projection thus falls
The latter then moves inwards and down-
below the level of one of two bars.
wards, forcing the slider and the corresponding punch downwards thus perforat-
ing the band or card.
After perforating the card or band, the punches are again raised by a plate,
actuated by a cam or like device on the main cam shaft.
The sliders are raised by the selector needles as the latter are raised, as pre-
viously described, whilst the bars for depressing the sliders are actuated by cams
on the main cam shaft, through suitable connections.
The cam shaft makes one rotation for each movement of the pointer on the
pattern, and is preferably actuated by power, the motion may be continuous or
intermittent, in the latter case the motion is communicated to the shaft by a
clutch of any well known form, operating in conjunction with stop mechanism,
the starting lever being preferably actuated by the foot of the operator.
In order that the masking plate may always stop with its hole or opening
exactly under a selector needle, I may employ either of the following correcting
devices. I may form each masking plate with a fine toothed rack, and employ a
finger or like device operated by a cam on the cam shaft, to engage with the rack
Or I may employ a rack on the carriage bar, and a catch
after every movement.
on the carriage to engage with it, and a segmental rack on the pattern board,
and a catch on the carriage bar or one of the arms by which it is carried, to en-
5 gage with said rack.
After each movement of the pointer, these catches which may be raised by a
suitable arrangement, fall into gear with their respective racks, and thus adjust
the masking plates in the exact position.
The openings in the masking plates, the disposition of the punches, and the
0 operating sliders, and the system of connecting the latter to the selecting needles
may, it is obvious, be modified to suit jacquards of various constructions or of
different set out.

Improved Reading and Punching Mechanism for D
Machine or like Jacquards.
I, HENRY HILL, of the Firm of Balm Hill & Sons, of 63A, Mansfield Road, in
the City of Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this

page_text: invention 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 improved apparatus for reading a pattern, selecting
and operating the punches, and thus perforating pattern cards or bands, for
controlling the jacquards of multiple embroidering machines or the like.
The pattern cards or bands thus produced, when placed in the jacquard, im-
part through the latter, the requisite movements to the frame of the embroider-
ing machine, necessary for the reproduction in embroidery of the pattern read
in the reading and punching machine.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying draw-
ings, in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, and
Fig. 2 a vertical cross section of apparatus constructed according to my inven-
tion.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of part of the machine.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation, and
Fig. 5 a vertical cross section showing detail of the punch depressing mech-
anism.
Fig. C is a plan of one of the needle selecting plates.
Fig. 3 to 6 are drawn to a larger scale than Figs. 1 and 2.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
According to my invention, the body of the apparatus is comprised of two end
standards A, (see Fig. 1 and 2), connected by a cross stay A. These standards
form a support for a semi-cylindrical pattern board B, of any suitable radius and
length, which is mounted on the said standards, with its convex face upwards
as shown.
In the front elevation shown in Fig. 1, the part of the apparatus on the ex-
treme left is not shown, but it will be understood that this end is precisely the
same as the right hand end, which is shown, in every essential particular.
The pattern B to be read, which is drawn as usual on paper, is placed on the
upper cylindrical surface of the pattern board B, and may be secured in position
by straps, pins, or other suitable device.
In order to read the pattern, it is followed stitch by stitch, by means of a
pointer C on the carriage C₁, which latter is mounted loosely on and travels
along the carriage bar C, which is placed above or externally to the pattern
board B, and parallel to the axis of the cylindrical surface of the said board.
The ends of the carriage bar C² are secured to the outer free ends of two
arms C3, which latter are pivotted on hollow pivots to the end standards A at C+,
(see Fig. 1) a point which coincides with the axis of the cylindrical surface of
the pattern board B.
The carriage bar C² may thus be bodily moved angularly parallel to the
cylindrical surface of the pattern board B, and in following a pattern with the
pointer C, this angular movement of the carriage bar C2, is combined with the
movement of the pointer carriage C', along said bar.
On the underside of the pattern board B are two guide bars D D of the section
shown in Fig. 2 and 3, the bar D₁ being placed directly below the bar D. At
the side of the pair of bars D D¹, is a corresponding pair of guidebars E E¹ (see
Fig. 2) placed parallel to the former. The whole of these bars are placed parallel
to the axis of the pattern board B, and their ends are secured to the end
standards A.
In the space between the guide bars D D is a spring clip F, (see Figs. 2 and 3)
and in the corresponding space between the two guide bars E E is a second
spring clip G, (see Fig. 2).
The pointer carriage C is connected by an endless band C5 (see Fig. 1) or the
like, to the spring clip F, said band being carried over pulleys C6 at the ends of

page_text: 5
10
e said bars, down the arms C³, over pulleys C7 on the said
here they are pivotted, and through the hollow pivots at C+ herein before referred
, to the spring clip F.
Any movement of the pointer carriage along the bar C2, is thus communicated
y the endless band C to the spring clip F, and the latter is thus moved a corre-
ponding distance along the guide bars D D', but in the reverse direction to the
ovement of the pointer carriage C₁ along the bar C².
The angular movement of the carriage carriage bar C2, is communicated to
he spring clip G by the following arrangements.
At each end of the apparatus is a vertical shaft H (see Fig. 1), which is carried
referably in centres in a bracket H', secured to the corresponding standard A.
Mounted on each shaft H is a pulley H2, and over these pulleys is carried an
endless band H³, which is connected to the spring clip G.
which
Each vertical shaft H is also provided with a bevel toothed wheel H*,
engages with a toothed quadrant H5 secured to the corresponding arm C3 of the
carriage bar C².
The several parts of the arrangement described are so proportioned, that the
spring clip G is moved along the guide bars E E', a distance which is exactly
equal to the angular movement of the carriage bar C2, relatively to the cylindrical
surface of the pattern board B.
The spring clip F and G, grip and move selecting plates operating in con-
nection with selector needles, which I will now proceed to describe.
Above the guide bar D D are a set of selector needles I, the lower ends of
which are carried in holes in the guide bar D), whilst their upper ends are carried
in a sley bar I which is carried by brackets 12 secured to the two vertical shafts J.
The whole of the needles I, with the exception of the two end ones, are arranged
in one row with a middle space I³, whilst the two end needles I, are set out of
line with the remainder.
The guide bar is provided with holes corresponding to those in the guide
bar 1), through which holes, the lower ends of the needles I can fall when they
are released.
Between the guide bars D D¹ is a plate K hereinafter termed a selecting plate.
This plate is shown in plan in Fig. 6, and it is provided as shown with a hole K¹,
and two slots K2, one of the latter on each side of the hole K¹.
Normally the plate K (see Fig. 3 and 6) is in such a position that the hole K'
is in the space 13 in the middle of the row of needles, whilst the inner end of
cach slot K2 is just clear of the corresponding end needle I. The holes in the
guide bars D' are thus entirely masked by the plate K, and none of the needles
can fall.
This will be best understood by reference to Fig. 6 where the position of the
needles I are indicated by dots on the plate K, the latter being shown in its
normal position.
If the selecting plate K is moved longitudinally to the right or left, it will
allow a needle I to fall on the right or left of the space 13, according to the
45 direction of such movement and also one of the end needles I. The lower end
of the former will pass through the hole K', whilst that of the latter will fal
through one of the slots K². For example, (see Fig. 6) if the needle selecting
plate K be moved to the right, say a distance equal to a space occupied by nin
needles, the ninth needle i from the middle space on the right will be selected
50 whilst the end needle It on the left will be also selected.
If on the contrary the needle releasing plate K is moved to the left, a needl
on the left of the middle space is selected, and also the end needle I on th
extreme right.
The end needles I determine whether the movement is to the right or lef
55 according to which is released, and the remaining needles in the row the exter
of such .movement. That is, the first needle on the right or left of the midd
space I³ indicates one unit of motion, the second needle on the right or left, t

page_text: units, the third three units, and so on up to the full number of needles em-
ployed.
The needle selecting plate K is at the proper time seized and moved longi-
tudinally by the spring clip F, the length and direction of its movement and
consequently the needles released, are thus determined by the length and direc-
tion of the movement of the carriage C¹ along the carriage bar C2, to which
carriage the clip F is connected as previously described.
After each movement, the jaws of the spring clip F are opened, the needle
selecting plate K is released, and is then returned to its normal position again.
The selecting plate K is returned to its normal position again by a lever F,
(see Figs. 1 and 2) pivotted in a bracket F2 secured to the guide bar D'. The
upper end of this lever is provided with a fork which engages with a pin on the
needle selecting plate K, whilst its lower end is provided with a pin F3 which
engages with one of two helical cam surfaces F fixed on the main cam shaft L.
This shaft L is carried in bearings L' (see Fig. 1) secured to or formed integrally
with the end standards A, and said shaft is rotated one revolution each movement
of the pointer C, in order to depress the punches selected, as hereinafter described,
and at the same time return certain parts of the apparatus to their normal
position again, ready for the next movement.
The whole of the selector needles I are normally held up in the position shown
in the drawing by the top sley bar I', with which their upper hooked ends en-
gage, this sley I is however lowered when the shaft L is rotated, and the whole
of the needles I are then held up by the needle selecting plate K, unless the
latter has been moved from its normal position.
In the latter case, the two needles only which are released by the movement
of the selecting plate K as previously described, are allowed to fall, the whole
of the remainder being held up by the said plate K.
The sley bar I which is carried by brackets 12 secured to the vertical shafts J,
is raised and lowered by the said shafts. These shafts J are carried and slide
vertically in bearings J formed in the stay A', and bearings J2 secured to the
guide bars D and E.
Near the middle of their length these shafts J are provided with slotted parts J³
which embrace the cam shaft L. The shafts J are raised and lowered by the
direct action of cams J on the shaft L, engaging with anti-friction rollers Ja
pivotted on the slotted parts J3 of said shafts.
The jaws of the spring clip F are operated to release the selecting plate K as
previously described as follows:-
The upper jaw of the clip F (see Fig. 3), is provided with an extension F
which travels in a channel in the guide bar 1), whilst the lower jaw is provided
with a tail or extension F. The extension F5 is held firmly by the channel in
the bar D, whilst the tail or extension F6 is raised by the releasing bar M.
The releasing bar M (see Fig. 1 and 2) is mounted loosely on the vertical
shaft J, and is raised at the requisite time, by links M' (see Fig. 1) provided with
slotted ends M2 embracing the cam shaft L. These slotted ends are each pro-
vided with an anti-friction roller M³, which engages with the perphery of a
cam on the shaft L.
The releasing bar M is returned to its normal position, in which it is shown in
the drawing, by springs M³ connected to the stay A' and the links M¹
respectively.
At the back of the selector needles I are a second duplicate set of selector
needles N (see Fig. 2), which are carried and selected in precisely the same
manner as the needles I, but by the angular motion of the bar C2 relatively to
the pattern board.
The lower ends of the needles are carried in holes in the bar E, and their upper
ends in a stay N¹ secured to the bracket I previously described.
Between the guide bars E E is a second selecting plate O, which is precisely
the same as the one previously described and shown in Fig. 6.

page_text: 15
This selecting plate 0 is gripped by the spring clip G which as
scribed is connected by the band H³ to arm C³ of the carriage bar C³, and thus
e angular movement of the latter is communicated to the selecting plate O,
ad the needles selected are determined by the angular movement of the said
ar, in the same manner as described in reference to the movement of the
rriage C along the bar C².
After each movement of the selecting plate O, it is returned to its normal
osition again by an arrangement similar to that used for returning the plate K,
nd indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawing by the same reference letters.
The spring clip G of the same construction and is also released by the releas-
ng bar M, simultaneously with the spring clip F.
The punching mechanism which is preferably placed below the selecting
needles, comprises a pair of punch plates P P1 (see Figs. 12 and 5) between
which the cards or bands Q are intermittantly fed by rollers or the like, actuated
by rack wheel and pawl mechanism, which is not shown.
The punch plates are mounted on the stay A¹ and the punches 13 1" are carried
in a box 12, the base of which is formed by the upper punch plate P.
The punches are disposed in two rows P³ P (see Fig. 5) corresponding to the
two rows of selector needles I and N, but their numbers are less. There are
two punches in each row corresponding to the two end needles I in each row of
selector needles, and in addition, half the number of punches in each row as
there are remaining selector needles I in each row.
I will now proceed to describe how the row of punches P3 corresponding to the
needles I, are operated so as to punch holes in the band Q, corresponding to the
and 4) are
selector needles which are selected by the movement of the selecting plate K.
Above the first two punches P³ on the right of the row (see Fig.
two vertical slides R for depressing the said punches, and the said slides K are
Above each of the remain-
connected by cords R¹ to the end selector needles I*.
ing punches are a pair of slides R2, each of which pair depresses the same punch.
Each of the sliders R2 are connected by cords R to the corresponding selector
needles I on each side of the space I³, that is for example the first pair of slides R2
next to the slides R' are connected to the two first needles I on each side of
the space 13, the next pair of slides R2 to the second selector needle on each side
of the space, and so on throughout.
It thus follows that the corresponding needles I, on each side of the space 13
correspond to and controll the same punch.
The slides R R2 are carried in recesses in a block S, and are held in their
recesses by a retaining plate S¹ shown removed in Fig. 4. The block S is carried
by pillars S secured to the stay A'. The upper ends of the whole of the
0 slides R R2 are reduced and pass through a plate S2 secured at the upper ends of
These reduced ends of the slides are provided with springs R
the block S.
(see Fig. 5) placed below the plate S2, which springs depress them when they are
released by the release (as previously described) of the corresponding selector
needle.
At the back of the block S is a corresponding set of slides T which are con
nected in a like manner to the set of selector needles N. These slides operate the
second row of punches P+.
When a slide is released by the release of the corresponding selector needle
said slide is lowered until its lower end rests on the corresponding punch, it i
50 then further depressed and the punch is forced through the band Q, by th
following arrangements.
Surrounding the block S in which the slides are situated, is a frame V, th
end of which are connected to the vertical shafts J, the said frame is thus d
pressed by the shafts J, when the latter are lowered to lower the released select
55 needles as previously described.
Mounted in guideways in the ends of the frame V on each side of the block
are bars the ends V2 (see Fig. 5) of which bear on the block S. Behind ea

page_text: bar V¹ is a spring V³, which forces the ends V2 of the bars up to the block S,
and moves said bars inward when the frame descends and the ends of the bars
reach the inclined faces S5 on the block S, and permits of this inward movement
taking place.
The slides R R are provided with extensions r at their lower ends, and when
in their normal position, (in which they are shown in the drawings), the bars V
pass the said extensions, but when a slide is released and is lowered on to a
punch, the bars V₁ reach their inner position before they reach the extension r,
they then engage with the latter, depress the slide and the corresponding punch,
and thus perforate the band.
After perforating the band the punches are raised again by a plate W, (see
Fig. 5) which is raised by bars W₁ connected by styrups Wž to the frame V.
The punches are thus raised as the frame V returns to its normal position again.
The cam shaft L makes one rotation for each movement of the pointer on
the pattern, and is preferably actuated by power, the motion may be continuous
or intermittant, in the latter case the motion is communicated to the shaft by a
clutch of any well known form, operating in conjunction with stop mechanism,
the starting lever being preferably actuated by the foot of the operator.
In order that each selecting plate may always stop with its hole or opening
exactly under a selector needle, I employ the following correcting device. I
form each selecting plate with teeth K (see Fig. 1) on its outer edge, and employ
a lever or finger X or like device, operated by a cam X' on the cam shaft Ĺ to
engage with the rack after every movement.
The finger X is preferably moved into engagement with the teeth K by a
spring X, and out of engagement by the cam X'.
The bar C2 is counterbalanced by a weight Y. It is also provided with a
catch Y¹ which engages with a toothed quadrant Y2 on the battern board B, in
order to retain the bar in any desired position.
The catch Y is secured to the bar C² and is released by rotating the said bar.
The cords R¹ for connecting the selector needles I and N to the slides R and T
are carried through sley bars 7 7 7 preferably arranged as shown.
The opening in the selecting plates, the disposition of the punches and the
operating sliders, and the system of connecting the latter to the selecting needles,
may, it is obvious, be modified to suit jacquards of various construction or of a
different set out
