We JAMES COWBURN of Albert Mill, Silk Street, Eccles in the county of
Lancaster, Manager and CHRISTOPHER PECK of the same place, Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to the apparatus by which the cloth woven by looms
is wound upon the cloth-rollers of such looms as such cloth is woven, which
apparatus are commonly called the "taking-up motions" and our invention consists
in improvements upon that arrangement of apparatus for which Letters Patent
No. 5894 dated May 13th 1885 were granted to the herein before mentioned James
Cowburn and Christopher Peck.
Our present invention. consists in arrangements by means of which we prevent the
face "of the cloth from being acted upon by the "taking-up rollers.".
גי
In one method of carrying our invention into effect we mount the axle of the
taking-up roller" upon arms and impart rotary motion to the said "taking-up
roller in a manner similar to that described and shown in the specification filed in
respect of the application for the Letters Patent above referred to and pass the cloth
partially around a bar, roller or guide and then partially around the "taking-up
roller" which we place in front of the cloth-roller.
In another method of carrying our invention into effect we place the "taking-up
roller" at the front of or below the cloth-roller and conduct the cloth from the
breast-beam of the loom to, beneath and partially around the "taking-up roller."
By any of the arrangements above-described we cause the "taking-up roller" to
act upon the back of the cloth and thereby avoid injuring the "face" of the said
cloth.

page_text: Improvements in the Apparatus by which the Cloth Woven by
Looms is Wound upon the Cloth-rollers of such Looms as such
Cloth is Woven, which Apparatus are Commonly Called the
"Taking up" Motions.
We JAMES COWBURN of Albert Mill, Silk Street Eccles in the County of
Lancaster Manager and CHRISTOPHER PECK of the same place Manufacturer 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 the apparatus by which the cloth woven by looms is wound
upon the cloth-rollers of such looms as such cloth is woven, which apparatus are
commonly called the "taking up motions" and our invention consists in improve-
ments upon that arrangement of apparatus for which Letters Patent No. 5894 dated
May 13th 1885 were granted to the heroinbefore mentioned James Cowburn and
Christopher Peck.
Our present invention consists in arrangements by means of which we prevent
the "face" of the "cloth" from being acted upon by the "taking up roller."
In one method of carrying our invention into effect we mount the axle of the
"taking up roller" upon arms and impart rotary motion to the said "taking up
roller" in a manner similar to that described and shown in the specification filed in
respect of the application for the Letters Patent above referred to and pass the cloth
partially around a bar or roller and then partially around the "taking up roller"
which we place in front of the cloth-roller.
This method of carrying our invention into effect is illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2 of
the accompanying drawings-Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2a front view
of so much of a loom having our invention applied thereto as is requisite to illustrate
this method of carrying our invention into effect.
In the arrangement illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings the
axle a of the "taking up roller" is mounted so as to be capable of being rotated in
arms c, c mounted upon the shaft d and rotary motion in the direction indicated by
the arrow A is imparted to the "taking up roller" b by means of the toothed
wheels e, e, f, A toothed wheel is mounted upon each end of the axle a of the
"taking up roller" -The toothed wheels e, e are mounted fast upon the shaft d and
so that the teeth of each of such toothed wheels e, e gear into or engage with the teeth
of one of the toothod wheels, mounted upon the axle a of the "taking up roller" b.
The toothed wheels e, e are rotated by means of the worm g which receives motion
from any convenient and suitable part of the loon but instead of the toothed
wheels e e being rotated by means of the worm g the shaft & may be rotated in any
other suitable manner.
The arrangement of the "taking up roller" 6, arms c, c, toothed wheels e, e, f, ƒ and

page_text: l
shaft d is similar to that described in the Specification filed in respect of the
application for Patent No. 5894 dated May 13th 1885 granted to the hereinbefore
mentioned James Cowburn and Christopher Peck. We provide the loom with a
bar secured in any suitable way at each end to the framework or other suitable
fixed part of the loom around which bar and the "taking up roller" which is
placed in front of the cloth-roller jas indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 we pass the cloth k
after such cloth & has passed over the breast beam of the loom-After being passed
around the bar the said cloth is passed around the front of and beneath the
"taking up roller" and then around the cloth-roller j-The "taking up roller" b
being rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow A will cause the cloth & to be
wound upon the cloth-roller and by the tension imparted to the cloth k be caused to
press more closely to the surface of the cloth & wound upon the cloth-roller j.
By inspection of Figs. 1 and 2 may be seen that the "face" of the cloth
is the surface of the cloth & uppermost during the operation of weaving is not acted
up by the surface of the "taking up roller" b.
which
In some cases instead of employing the bar h we employ a roller mounted so as to
be capable of being rotated by the cloth as such cloth passes in contact with the said
roller and mount such roller or the ends of the axle thereof in bearings formed in or
upon or attached to the framework or other suitable fixed part of the loom or in any
other suitable way.
In another method of carrying our invention into effect we place the "taking
up roller" at the front of or below the cloth-roller and con luct the cloth from
the breast beam of the loom to, beneath and partially around the "taking up
roller."
One arrangement of this method of carrying our invention into effect is shown in
Figs. 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings, Fig. 3 being a front elevation and Fig. 4
a longitudinal section of so much of a loom as is requisite to illustrate this method of
carrying our invention into effect.
The axle a of the "taking up roller" bis mounted upon arms c mounted upon the
shaft d and rotary motion in the direction indicated by the arrow A is imparted to
the "taking up roller" by means of the toothed wheels e, e, f,f-A toothed wheel f
is mounted upon each end of the axle a of the taking up roller" b-The toothed
wheels e, e are mounted fast upon the shaft d and so that the teeth of each of such
toothed wheels e, e will gear into or engage with the teeth of one of the toothed
wheels mounted upon the axle a of the "taking up roller" -The toothed
wheels e, e are rotated by means of the worm g which receives motion from any
convenient and suitable part of the loom-but instead of the toothed wheels e, e being
rotated by means of the worm the shaft d may be rotated in any other suitable
manner-The cloth k is conducted from the breast beam of the loom to, beneath and
partially around the "taking up roller" and then around the cloth-roller -The
taking up roller" bheing rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow A will
cause the cloth k to be wound upon the cloth-roller j and by the tension imparted to
the cloth be caused to press more closely to the surface of the cloth k wound
the cloth-roller j-By inspection of Figs. 3 and 4 it may be seen that the "face"
the cloth is not acted upon by the surface of the "taking up roller" b.
upon
of
Another arrangement of this method of carrying our invention into effect is shown
in Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying drawings, Fig. 5 being a front view and Fig. 6
a longitudinal section of so much of a loom as is requisite to illustrate this method of
carrying our invention into effect-The arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6 differs
from that shown in Figs. 3 and 4 in that the "taking up roller" b which in the
arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is when in operation in contact with the front
portion of the roll of cloth k wound upon the cloth-roller is in the arrangement
shown in Figs. 5 and 6 in contact with the lower portion of the roll of cloth k wound
npon the cloth-roller j. To counterbalance the weight of the "taking roller" band
the weight of the arms c, c we attach to such arms c, c other arms c, c to each of
up
which is attached one end of a spiral spring m attached at its other end to the
ramework or other suitable fixed part of the loom-in Figs. 5 and 6 the toothed

page_text: wheels e, e are shown as being rotated by means of the worm g which receives
motion from any convenient and suitable part of the loom but instead of the toothed
wheels e, e being so rotated the shaft may be rotated in any other suitable
manner.
By any of the arrangements above described we cause the "taking up roller" to
act upon the back of the cloth and thereby avoid injuring the "face" of the said
cloth.
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 —
1. For use in conjunction with the apparatus for which Letters Patent No. 5894
dated May 13th 1885 were granted unto the herein before mentioned James Cowburn
and Christopher Peck, a bar such as h or roller employed instead of such bar,
employed substantially as herein before described in reference to and indicated in and
by Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings and for the purpose of preventing
the "face" of the cloth from being acted upon by the "taking up roller."
2. For use in conjunction with the apparatus for which Letters Patent No. 5894
dated May 13th 1885 were granted unto the hereinbefore mentioned James Cowburn
and Christopher Peck, the arrangement of the "taking up roller" and the parts
connected therewith in relation to the cloth-roller substantially as hereinbefore
described in reference to and indicated in and by Figs. 3 and 4, and 5 and 6, and so
that the "face" of the cloth is prevented from being acted upon by the "taking up
roller."
