Improvements in and relating to Beaming and Balling Warps.
We, HENRY HAWORTH of 80, Belvedere Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, and JOHN WALMSLEY of 21, Brunswick Street, Burnley, Mill-manager, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to combine two machines in one, that the processes of
beaming and balling may be performed in one operation.
In carrying out our invention the threads of yarn from a creel are conveyed over
the levelling roller of a beaming frame; under a rising and falling roller and forward
through the stop-pins of the stop-motion in the usual manner.
The sheet or threads of yarn are then conveyed forward over a roller above and
under another beneath the frame, when they then pass under a platform or foot-board
to the traversing eye of the balling apparatus direct; dispensing with tape beams; or,
f desired, the threads of yarn from the creel may be conveyed direct to the traversing
eye of the balling apparatus and independently of a beaming frame.
The beaming frame may be provided with a slow motion which may be put in action
when piecing ends.

Improvements' in and relating to Beaming and Balling Warps.
We, HENRY HAWORTH of 80, Belvedere Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, and JOHN WALMSLEY of the same place, Mill 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 :-
This invention consists essentially in combining or applying to the delivery end of a
beaming frame, a balling machine; the combination being such as to enable the
beamer to stand between the beaming frame and the balling apparatus upon a foot-
board or platform with the sheet of warp threads in front and beneath him. In this
position, the beamer is enabled to inspect and manipulate the warp threads to the best
possible advantage.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 represents an end elevation in section of a beaming frame, and Fig. 2 a
similar view of a balling machine in combination therewith, and constructed in
accordance with our invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 are enlarged detached views of mechanism for dividing in several
divisions the width of warp.
The warp threads from the creel pass through the expanding wreath A and over
guide roller B, then downwards under rising and falling rollers C and C, and forward
over guide roll D, and through the dents of the expanding wreath E in the usual way.
In combination with our improved arrangement for beaming and balling warps, we
use an additional wreath, specially provided to divide the ends of the warp or yarn
under operation into tapes of any given number of ends, say 10 as seen in Fig. 3, or
any number more or less as required. At the commencement of each warp a "lease
may be taken of the tapes by the wreath. For this purpose, a double catch hook G¹
(as seen in Fig. 3) is secured to the middle of each alternate dent G, so that by moving
laterally the beam H, to which the dents are secured, each alternate tape of warp
threads will be collected on the upper projection of the hook G', which, when the
Pl

page_text: beam H is raised, forms a shed as seen in Fig. 4. The beam is then dropped to liberate
the tapes from the hooks before again ascending to collect the tapes on the under
projection of the hook G¹ to form the next shed, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 4.
Both sheds are secured by lease bands in the usual way.
The warp, as it leaves the delivery end of the beaming frame, now passes over
roller I, and downwards in a sheet under roller J; and to provide an extra stretch for
the warp, it is caused to pass over roller K, when it is then conveyed under the foot-
board or platform L.
The warp, after passing the footboard, is then conveyed through the bight of the
calendering rollers M and M', and eye N of the traversing lever O, to the driving
drum U, upon which the ball of warp F is wound in ball form in contradistinction. to
such warp or yarn being received and wound on a beam, as in the ordinary beaming
frame.
The traversing lever is actuated by bevel gear P, through the medium of side shaft Q,
to which is fixed a crank (not shewn) connected by link R to the said traversing lover,
which guides the warp laterally backwards and forwards to the extent of the width of
Funder formation.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we'
claim is
The novel adaptation, employment and use of a balling machine, acting in conjunction
with a beaming frame, and with a footboard or platform between the two, as herein-
before described and illustrated in the drawings.
