I JOSEPH TURNER of 32 Wellington Street, Mill Hill, Blackburn, in the County
of Lancaster, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
Heretofore when weaving "gauzes" of dhootics, when the attendant on the loom
has had to turn, or "lift" the carrier wheel, and thereby turn the emery wheel, it
has necessitated his moving from one end of the loom to the other, and while so doing
the shuttle will have made five, or six, picks which were unnecessary.
According to this my invention I employ a hand lever, at that end of the loom
nearest to which the attendant stands, and on the opposite end to the carrier wheel,
the hand lever is connected by means of a rod to a jointed lever, the latter is connected
to a swing or pendulus catch loose on the axis of the carrier wheel, this catch has at
its lower end a serrated or toothed surface, which, when the hand lever is moved,
operates on the teeth of the carrier wheel, and by means of the jointed lover "lifts"
or turns the carrier wheel, and emery roller, when the hand lover is not operated
on the serrated catch will swing free of contact with the carrier wheel so that tho
latter can be moved by hand if required, the attendant therefore can turn, or
"lift"
the carrier wheel as much as required without moving across the loom.

page_text: I, JOSEPH TURNER of 32 Wellington Street, Mill Hill Blackburn, in the, County
of Lancaster, Mechanic, 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 :-
Heretofore when weaving" gauzes "of dhootics when the attendant on the loom
has had to turn or "lift" the carrier wheel and thereby turn the emery wheel it has
necessitated his moving from one end of the loom to the other, and while so doing
the shuttle will have made five or six picks which were unnecessary.
According to this my invention I employ a hand lever at that end of the loom
nearest to which the attendant usually stands, and on the opposite end to the carrier
wheel the hand lever is connected by means of a rod to a jointed lever the latter is
connected to a swing or pendulus catch on the axis of the carrier wheel, this catch bas
at its lower end a serrated or toothed surface which when the hand lever is moved
operates on the teeth of the carrier wheel, and by means of the jointed lever lifts or
turns the carrier wheel and emery roller; when the hand lever is not operated
the serrated catch will swing free of contact with the carrier wheel so that the
latter can be moved by band if required; the attendant therefore can turn or "lift"
the carrier wheel as much as required without moving across the loom.
Such being the nature and object of this my Invention, the following is a completo
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying Drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of part of loom having my improved appliances
applied.
Fig. 2 is an end view of same. The remaining Figures on Sheet 2 are details
drawn to an enlarged scale.
According to this my Invention, I employ a hand lever 1, at that end of the loom
nearest to which the attendant usually stands, and on the opposite end to the carrier
wheel; the hand lover 1 is connected by means of a rod 2 to a jointed lever 3, the
latter is connected to a swing or pendulus catch 4 carried by stud 5 and crank 6 on
the axis of the carrier wheel, this catch has at its lower end a serrated or toothed
surface 9 which when the hand lover 1 is moved operates on the teeth of the carrier
wheel 8 and by means of the jointed lever 3".
"
"lifts or turns the carrier wheel 8, and
by pinion 10, and wheel 11 turns the emery roller 12, when the hand lever 1 is not
operated, the serrated catch 4 will swing free of contact with the carrier wheel 8, so
that the latter can be moved by hand if required, the attendant therefore can turn or
"lift" the carrier wheel 8 by means of lever 1 and appliances described without
moving across the loom. The stop piece 123 is for the purpose of regulating the
distance the handle 1 can be moved, the stop piece 12ª coming in contact with the
frame 13.

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;
The lever 1, connections, catch and gear all in combination with and for operating
the emery
roller ; as herein described, and illustrated by annexed drawings.
